Mr. Christian Roth Passes

A prominent figure in the life of the community was ended in the death of Mr. Christian Roth, who passed away early yesterday morning at his home in his 80th year. He had been in poor health for some time but his death was rather unexpected. The late Mr. Roth was born near St. Agatha on Nov. 1, 1862, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Christian Roth. He came to New Hamburg when a young man. He was married here Dec. 15, 1887, to Lydia Schultz, and he farmed successfully for many years on the farm adjoining the village, now owned by his son, William. About twenty-four years ago he purchased the properties of the late Jos. F. Rau, including the brewery property. He acquired the Oak Grove Cheese factory on Bleam's Road and moved the business to the old brewery premises. He conducted the business successfully for several years until he disposal of the same to Mr. Zito Baccarini, the present owner. Since then he lived in retirement. The deceased was a member of the Reformed Mennonite Church. Besides his wife he is survived by two sons, David and William of New Hamburg and a daughter, Luella, Mrs. Maurice Weicker, of near Haysville. One son, Edward, predeceased him. He is also survived by two brothers, Rudy L., New Hamburg, David L. St. Agatha, a sister, Mrs. Ben Yost, of Poole and 8 grandchildren. The funeral will be held on Sunday, Feb. 22, at 2 p.m., to Hostetler's Church for service and interment in the adjoining cemetery. Rev. Harvey Gampp will be in charge.

Notes:

Mrs. Magdalena Schultz - The funeral of the late Mrs. Schultz who passed away here last Thursday, was held from the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Chr. Roth, on Sunday afternoon and was attended by a large circle of relatives and friends. After a short service at the house the cortege proceeded to Hostetler's Church where the funeral service was held by Rev. F. Weicker and Rev. Harvey Gampp. Interment took place in Hostetler's Cemetery.

In the death of Mrs. Schultz another link of the pioneer days of this district has been severed. The deceased whose maiden name was Madgalena Otto, was born in North Easthope on the farm now occupied by Russel Fierling, on September 21, 1844. She thus reached the age of 86 years, 3 months, 25 days. She spent her whole life in this neighborhood and through her kind nature and womanly qualities endeared herself to a large circle of friends.

She was married in 1864 to Christian Schultz and they resided on the farm south of the town. Her husband predeceased her in 1887 and since then she continued to make her home with her only daughter, Mrs. Chr. Roth. Besides her daughter she leaves to mourn her death three grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Also two sisters, Mrs. Otto, of Danvers, Ill., and Mrs. Otto, of Ashland, Ill., besides a host of other relatives and friends.

The late Mrs. Schultz was seriously ill with pneumonia two years ago but had fully recovered and only a short time before her death, showed signs of failing health.
