On Thursday he took suddenly ill and on Friday afternoon passed peacefully away in his 71st year. Deceased was born in Hessia, Germany, and came to Canada in 1853, settling in the township of Woolwich. He was married twice. The first marriage was blessed with 10 children, four of whom preceded him in death. In January 1874 he was married to Mary Grube and this union was blessed with 13 children, 6 sons and 7 daughters, who with the widow survive to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father. His remains were laid to rest in the village cemetery on Wednesday afternoon and the funeral was attended by a large circle of friends. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Meyers, who preached an impressive sermon in the Baptist church, of which congregation deceased had been a devoted member. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family in their bereavement.

All of a sudden a thunder storm came close, and he left the field with two pitch forks over his shoulders. As he came close to the wire fence, lightning hit him and the fence, also splitting a cedar post right in half. Other family members left the field a little earlier. They saw lightning hit the fence. They wondered where the old man was, they couldn't see him, so they went back and found him on the ground dead by the fence. The lightning had torn his clothes down to his leather boots, his hair burnt.

The dead man, Heinrich Grube, was born in the year 1814 in Wollmershausen, Hannover, Germany. He came to this country 48 years ago, and lived in the early pioneer times in New Hamburg as a shemaker.
