Jos. Erb Dies Of Infirmities Due To Old Age

Pioneer Of Preston Dies 12 Dap After Celebrating 91st Birthday; Funeral Thursday Afternoon

Infirmities of a ripe old age were responsible for the death at the home of his only daughter early today of Joseph Erb, one of the founders of Preston and a citizen who had spent practically all his life in Waterloo county. He marked his 91st birthday only 12 days ago. Genuine regret was expressed in all circles of the community to day by people who learned of the death of one who had always taken as his motto, "Preston First", the by word in municipal affairs. While he was probably responsible more than any other man for the growth of the town, the late Mr. Erb did not take an active part in muncipal politics. But his word was always respected and had considerable weight. Confined to his bed for some weeks thru illness, the cause of which was mostly old age, death did not come unexpectedly. About a year ago when he was to observe his birthday he suffered influenza from which he recovered. The end came about 5.45 o'clock this morning, members of his family being at the bedside. Coming from a family that had at one time owned almost all of what is now Preston, the late Mr. Erb was a descendant of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Erb and a nephew of the late John Erb, Sr. He was of staunch Pennsylvanian stock. His folks settled here when the hamlet was known as Cambridge. Records indicate that the father and grandfather of the late Mr. Erb came here 124 years ago, from the time or their arrival and until retirement of Joseph Erb, theirs has been a life given to the growth of the town. Many industries, particularly in the mill and distillery line were structures which the Erbs, in the early days, played no little part in founding. Mrs. Calvin C. Green, 517 Duke street, is an only daughter. For some years the late Mr. Erb made his residence with her. There are two granddaughters, Mrs. Albert Ransome of the same address and Mrs. James M. Gilles, Jr., Preston and two great granddaughters, the Misses Marie Ransome, Preston and Dotty Green of London. One grandson, William C. Green of London also survives. The funeral will take place from the home of his daughter, on Thursday afternoon at two o'clock. Services will be conducted by the Rev. R. M. Geiger, pastor of St. Paul's United church, of which the deceased was a devout member. Interment will take place later in the Preston cemetery.

ERB - On Tuesday March 13, 1900, at her home in Preston, Ontario, of the infirmities of old age, Sister Mary Kolb, relict of the late Bro. Joseph Erb. She was the daughter of Jacob and Catharine (Clemens) Kolb and was born near Skippack, Montgomery Co., Pa., on the 4th of August 1804. In 1819 she came with her parents to Canada, when what is now known as Waterloo Co. was nearly all forest land. On the 11th of Dec. 1827 she was married to Joseph Erb who died Oct. 15th, 1885. To them were born eight sons and two daughters of whom five sons and one daughter survive her. With her husband who as a miller was widely known for his generosity she shared the trials and hardships of pioneer life as a true helpmeet, and the labors of their hands were greatly blessed. She enjoyed reasonably good health until about three years ago she fell on the floor dislocating her hip, since which time she was unable to walk. Thus the feet that through a long life had been so busy in household duties and missions of love and charity were forced to rest and she had to pass her days in her chair, not being able to get in or out of bed alone. Her daughter, Sister Lena Erb, who is unmarried and lives at home, attended to her aged mother's wants with true filial devotion for three years, being assisted by her two brothers Cyrus and Joseph, both living in Preston. Deceased suffered but little pain during the last year of her life, yet she was patiently waiting for the time of her departure to the land where so many of her loved ones had already gone. Her wish that she might just fall asleep, never to wake again in this world, was granted, and loving watchers did not know that she was gone until they came to look after her, when they found nothing but the cold clay; the longing soul, so long imprisoned in its frail earthly tenement, had gone home to God. The burial took place at the Hagey M. H. near Preston on the 16th. Funeral services by Jacob Woolner in German from Heb. 13: 14 and by Noah Stauffer in English from Isa. 58: 8. She was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church and reached the age of 91 years, 7 months and 9 days.
