Notes:

CHRISTOPH SCHELTER DEAD.
The oldest resident and the earliest settler of this village passed away on Monday afternoon in the death of Christoph Schelter in his 88th year, from old age. He came here in 1846, bought and cleared the half-acre lot upon which he died and it is said that he has never spent a night out of the village during all these 56 years. Just before coming here he was married to Miss Marie Herold and his now aged widow survives him, along with one son, Christian, of Jordan, Ont. The remains were interred yesterday, the pall bearers, Messrs. Casper Meyer, John Fleischhauer, R. Freeborn, John Faulhafer, John Ullner and Chr. Gensmer, all being neighbors of deceased for over a quarter of a century. The only gentleman now residing in the village, who was also a resident when deceased came to Wellesley is Mr. John Stahle, who was born here that year. Deceased worked at his trades as weaver and cooper until advancing age compelled him to retire.
