Well Known Berlin Manufacturer Succumbs on Saturday, After Long Illness

Was in His 69 Year

One of Berlin's oldest and highly esteemed citizens, passed away about 6 o'clock on Saturday evening, in the person of Mr. Isaac E. Shantz, the well-known senior member of the firm of I. E. Shantz & Co., at his home on College street. The deceased suffered from congestion of the lungs at the time of his death and had been in poor health during the last ten months. The late I. E. Shantz was born on May 23rd, 1839 and was a son of the late Samuel Shantz, who owned one of the finest farms in the county on the Petersburg-Road, three miles west of Berlin. After securing a common school education and working on his fathers farm, for some years, he entered a mercantile business in Bridgeport and also became interested in several successful manufacturing industries. About fifteen years ago he moved to Berlin and after conducting the store now occupied by Beck & Schell for some years, he purchased the foundry which he has been conducting, for the last ten or twelve years. The deceased was of a quiet and unassuming disposition and while he took a keen interest in municipal affairs of Berlin and was a member of the Town Council, in 1897. He was a devoted Christian man and was highly respected by all with whom he came in contact. He was married to Magdalena Eby in 1860, who survives him and we regret to state, is quite ill. There are five children; Josiah, Berlin, Edmund, Waterloo Tp., Mrs. Amos Groff, Waterloo, Mrs. (Rev,) C. R. Miller, Berlin and Milton B., who will have the sincere sympathy of the entire community. The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon, at 1: 30 o'clock, to the East End Mennonite church and Cemetery.

Historic Building:
....The property also has two houses located on site. 544-546 Lancaster St., owned by the developers, are rental units.

The two houses were likely built in 1873 by former reeve and entrepreneur Isaac Erb Shantz and "warrant conservation," says a heritage impact assessment report filed by the developer in the proposal package to the city.

The houses are not designated as heritage but the city has identified them as "being of potential cultural heritage value or interest."

The report also says the houses have been "significantly altered" since being built in the 1870s.

The property was sold to the Hamel family in 1901 and through marriage became associated with the Rotharmel family. The houses were in the family for 118 years, said the heritage report. The family has since sold the houses.....
