Notes:

Being then in a position to do his own sawing and mill work, Mr. Kribs was able to handle much larger jobs and in due course came to be known as one of the leading general contractors in this area. On some of his large jobs he sublet some of the work, Carpentry often to Archie Brydon, Masonry to Christian Pabst....Christian Pabst came here about 1860 to keep Hotel. He was then a man of about 28 years of age and mentally very active. He soon embarked on a bit of contracting and by 1868 became one of the best known Mason contractors in this area, employing a lot of men and executing large contracts. Some at least of the work he did for Jacob Hespeler seems to have been on a cost plus basis as is evidenced by his being credited with the time of a long list of men employed by him on the job. In addition to Masonry contracts, Mr. Pabst took on other work, the building and gravelling of roads etc., no doubt to keep his equipment and men busy.

He owned quarries which were under the supervision of his wife's brother, Christian Kirchener, an expert quarryman. Among the stone structures built by Mr. Pabst in the Village may be cited the United, the Evangelical and the old Presbyterian (now St. Mary's) Churches. The Bank of Montreal Building, Zryd's Hardware Store, both Johnston's and Saults' Blacksmith Shops (the latter then only one story) and several of the stone buildings at the Lower Mill.

In 1851, when a young man of nineteen years of age, he came to Canada, when he became a resident of Hespeler. He was the popular landlord of the Germania House and was not slow in displaying the flag of his native land at the time of the Franco-Prussian war.

On Feb. 25th, 1855, he was married to Miss Katharine Kirschner. They were blessed with fifteen children the following of whom survive,- Three sons, George of Springfield, Vt; John of Hamilton, and August, of Hespeler, and the following daughters Mrs. Chas.

Both wife and daughter survive. Mrs. Pabst, before her marriage to Mr. Pabst, was the possessor of the children by her first husband, who also survive. The deceased is also survived by forty-one grandchildren and five great grand- children.

The late Mr. Pabst was a public spirited citizen most He was the holder of many offices in the gift of the town and his scholarly bearing fitted him well for the proper performance of these duties. He was for twenty-seven years a director of the Economical Fire Insurance Company of Berlin, and has never missed an annual meeting of the Company. He held office for many years as alderman of the town, and in his younger
days was a valued member of the brass band as player of the bass instrument. Last, but not least, he was an ardent supporter and influential officer in the Lutheran church. was one of the prime movers in the installation of the chime of bells in the tower of that church, which peal out in sonorous tones on the quiet Sabbath morning air their sweet call to one and all to attend worship. He had held the office of superintendent of the Lutheran Church Sunday School acceptably for many years and always enjoyed the confidence and respect of all his fellow townsmen.
