    Notes:

    Well-Known Citizen Departe

    Not unexpected came the news on Monday morning that Henry Stumpf had passed away during the night for he had been for some days in a very low condition. Deceased was born in 1850 in Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany. In 1858 he came to this neighborhood with his mother and brothers, his father having come over the year before. The mother and children then went to live for about a year at Omaha, Nebraska, where the mother and the youngest son, Peter, died of typhoid fever. Then the other members of the family came back to Woolwich, where the deceased hewed out a home for himself in the swamp northeast of this village. In 1873 he chose for himself a helpmate in the person of Mary Gimber, who shared with him for nearly forty years the joys and sorrows the toils and pleasures of life, and who is now left bereft of a kind and faithful husband. To Mr. and Mrs. Stumpf were born eleven children, all of whom survive and are grown up. They are: Casper on the old farm homestead, Sophia (Mrs. S. Schedewitz), Yatton; Katie (Mrs. Henry Delion), of Berlin; Mary (Mrs. John Hilgartner) near Strasburg; Lizzie, Stella and Otto at home; Conrad, at Listowel ; Caroline (Mrs. Arthur Aljoe), near Hanover; Gertrude (Mrs. Arthur Beilstein), Berlin. Of these there were two pairs of twins, namely Stella and Otto, and Conrad and Caroline.

    Deceased learned the trade of mason and generally worked at it through the summer months as his work on the farm would allow. Ten years ago he moved with his family to Elmira and here he followed his trade more exclusively taking many building contracts. About four years ago he built the bakery which he conducted in partnership with his eldest son. Later on he took it all over into his own hands and built the fine block now used in connection with the business. As a citizen of Elmira Mr. Stumpf was progressive, fearing not to make investments to help build up the town, and as a business man he spared neither expense nor trouble to have his business up-to-date and to give his customers the best possible service. As a man he was strictly honest and upright in his dealings with his fellow men.

    As to his illness, he had several ribs fractured while yet a boy and this injury not having been properly attended to in time caused ulcers on the lung. As years wore on this trouble became worse, and developed chronic bronchitis. Latterly his heart became weak and heart failure was the immediate cause of death.

    The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon and was largely attended.

    The family have the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
