Notes:

....Waterloo Park features that existed long before my era and they've largely originated in old photos and postcards.

In the overview scene which looks across the park entrance, three structures appear in the distance: in the middle is the grandstand beside the athletic grounds; to its left is the original Jacob Eby farmhouse which you can still see today; then farther left, at the end of the driveway, a roof and flagpole peek above the trees. That's the pavilion situated atop one of the highest hills in the park. Located just behind the old log schoolhouse and opened in 1898 at a cost of $1,721, the pavilion was designed by Charles Moogk with two long "fronts." One, facing the lake, originally had an overhang provided by the second floor. Underneath, the recessed ground floor contained washrooms and small meeting rooms. As can be seen in one of the postcard views, that lower section eventually became part of a greenhouse where the park superintendent, living just a few feet away in the Eby farmhouse, oversaw flower and shrub growth....

CHARLES MOOGK, SR., PASSES AWAY AT WATERLOO

Town Engineer Fro 25 Years and Prominent Architect and Builder. Resided Here For Half a Century In His 76th Year.


Death summoned one of Waterloo's oldest and best known citizens when Charles Moogk, the veteran town engineer and architect, passed peacefully away at his home, 18 Cedar St East. about seven o'clock on Friday evening. The late Mr. Moogk. who was in his 76th year, had been in failing health for about a year and since February had been confined to his bed.

He was a member of the first management committee of the Society.

The late Mr. Moogk for the past twenty-five years, held the office of town engineer, being appointed to the position in 1899. During his tenure of office he gained a complete knowledge of every municipal service. He had a wonderful memory and it was rarely necessary for him to consult his maps when the location of streets, buildings, sewers, storm drains, water or gas mains was questioned. He supervised the installation of the sewerage, water and gas systems and also the construction of the various paved streets in Waterloo. His ambition to live to see the Erb street roadway paved was realized although his physical condition prevented him personally supervising the work.

As an architect the late Mr. Moogk had the supervision of the construction of many of the public and business blocks In Waterloo. When a young man he worked under contractor Nicholas Killer in the erection of the St. John's Lutheran church, St. Louis R. C. church, the Waterloo Mutual Fire Insurance building, the Mark Lewis Hotel. now owned by the Royal Bank. and the 1.O.O.F. block. As architect and building contractor he erected the Dominion Life and Post Office buildings. market building, library hail and numerous residences.

Deceased became a member of the Germania Lodge 184, I.O.O.F.. fifty-one years ago and tor forty-seven years ably discharged the duties of the position of secretary. He was an active and enthusiastic member of the lodge and for two years was honored with the office of District Deputy Grand Master. He was also a member of the Waterloo Lodge A. F. & M. No. 539.


The late Charles Moogk was born in Preston, December 9. 1848, where be resided until 1871 when he moved to Philadelphia. Pa., where he lived for several years. After his marriage to Josephine Lockard they moved to Waterloo about 1874. He at once became identified with the contracting business and later did architectural work and had charge of the erection of numerous public buildings and business blocks. In 1911 he retired from the contracting business.

A sorrowing wife and eight child survive to mourn his loss. Mrs. Catharine Eisley. Mary, (Mrs. Wm. Chivers), Salome. Elizabeth, Rose, Charles, Herman, all of Waterloo and George B. of Weston, Ont. Also one slater Mts. John Killer of Kitchener and a brother H. J. Moogk of Freeport, Ill.

The gathering included representatives from the town council, water and light commission, sewer commission, Board of Work's workmen, library board, school board, musical society and Germiania Lodge, I.O.O.F.

The service at the home was simple but impressive and was conducted by Rev. C. S Roberts, pastor of the St. John's Lutheran Church who spoke words of comfort to the bereaved family. He said the hand of the builder had ceased to toil but the memory of the work and the buildings which he erected in Waterloo would stand as a monument to the fidelity and energy of the deceased who won the regard and esteem of the citizens by his interest in various civic projects.

Rev. W. H. Harvey, pastor of the Methodist Church, assisted in the service and paid his tribute to the deceased. At the grave Rev. S. L. W. Harton of Galt and former pastor of the Waterloo Methodist Church, on behalf of the I.O.O.F., conducted the last rites of the order.
