    Notes:

    Constructed in Louis Timm's King Street East blacksmith and carriage shop, this first ambulance was a Berlin-built vehicle and remained in service until 1920.

    Louis Timm was one of those thousands of Germanic immigrants who arrived in Berlin, Canada in mid-19th century, escaping from life under the absolute rule of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg. Christened Ludwig, like his father, he eventually dropped that name in favour of Louis. He was just four years old in 1869 when he, three brothers and a sister boarded Prinz Albert, one of those appallingly-packed immigrant ships at Hamburg. Parents Ludwig Johann and Sophie (Graf) Timm must have had a handful during six weeks at sea with five youngsters under 14 (including a newborn). However, they eventually landed in New York and travelled to Waterloo Township. By age 15, Louis was a farm hand and over the next few years, as the Timms settled into life in the flourishing town nicknamed Busy Berlin for its industrial growth, he picked up enough experience to be listed as a blacksmith in the 1891 census.
