Notes:

Peter Ernst

Death of Peter Ernst, Esq., of Baden. We very much regret to announce the death on Sunday evening last of the above gentleman. From information which has been forwarded us, we learn that Mr. Ernst had gone that evening to Hamburg to see some friends, and while sitting talking in the sitting room of Seyler's Hotel he suddenly complained of dizziness. Mr. S. Morner, to whom he was talking, observing that he seemed likely to fall off his chair, caught him and laid him on a sofa in the room, and at once summoned assistance, and secured medical aid, but all was of no avail, and after a few gasping breaths death came. Disease of the heart or apoplexy is supposed to have been the cause. Mr. Ernst was an active, pushing business man, largely respected by all who knew him. For many years he has occupied a very prominent position in the Township of Wilmot. His untimely and fearfully sudden death has thrown a gloom over the locality where he was so well known, and where most of his life had been spent. The sympathy of the deceased gentleman's many friends is heartily tendered to his family and relatives.

Notes:

The Late John Ernst

John Ernst, Sr., who died at New Hamburg on the 1st inst., was born at Grand Village, near Belford, Lorraine, France, on the 4th of Dec., 1807. He emigrated to America in the year 1827, landing in New York in the same year, where he remained but one year, long enough to enable him to learn the English language somewhat. He came to Wilmot township in 1838 where he took up land, cleared his lot, and remained on the same for a long time. During his time there the cholera (1837) broke out, and while the sad epidemic lasted he helped to bury many of his neighbours, even making coffins from rough lumber and taking them to the burying ground with his ox team, and attending to the burial all by himself. After that he removed to Petersburg, where he engaged in the general store business and hotel keeping. Some time after that he owned and run the New Dundee mills, also the tannery at Petersburg. He was a man of good judgement, and a man on whose word you could rely. Any appointment he made he was sure to fulfill; he was a man of temperate habits although a hotel keeper for over 40 years. Some years ago he withdrew from actual business pursuits, but was always ready to enter into conversation on the topics of the day, as well as render any assistance where needed if at all in his power to do so. About six weeks ago he was attacked with bronchitis, then heart trouble set in from which he never rallied. Although far advanced in years he bore his sufferings with Christian fortitude and was prepared to meet his Maker. In years gone by he held different municipal offices, was Justice of the Peace and also issuer of marriage licences. He was postmaster at Petersburg for 44 years, and was one of the first postmasters in the County of Waterloo. In politics he was a staunch Conservative, and was ever ready to do a good turn for his party. He belonged to the Masonic fraternity and was an old member of that body. His remains were taken to Petersburg, for internment on Wednesday Feb. 3rd. He leaves one daughter and three sons to mourn his loss; his wife preceded him some fifteen years ago.
