The family lived on several farms mostly in Woolwich township. For the last 26 years they had lived in Heidelberg. Five children are left to mourn the departure of their father, namely, Caroline, Mrs. John Schoener and Henry living in Heidelberg and John and Mrs. August Hass, of Berlin. The remains were laid to rest in the Lutheran cemetery last Saturday in presence of a large number of relatives and friends, Rev. Schuelke officiating.
