    Notes:

    MICHAEL FRIES, SR. - Only a month after the death of his wife there passed away at his home here Michael Fries, Sr. The shock of his life partner's death and the pain of the parting was too much for his enfeebled body to withstand. The deceased was born near Heidelberg in 1889 (or possibly 1839, blurred). At the age of 22 he was married to Elizabeth Frey. They took up the duties of married life on a farm north of West Montrose, then mostly primeval forest. Here the deceased put in many a day's hard labor in clearing the forest and getting the land ready for the plough, while his wife looked after the housework and raised a large family of robust boys and girls. With industry they succeeded in building up a fine home for themselves. After about forty years of farm life, Mr. and Mrs. Fries came to spend the remaining years in quiet retirement in Elmira. They enjoyed good health until a few years ago when the infirmities of old age began to make themselves felt. The deceased is survived by a large family. They are Solomon of Saskatchewan, Veronica (Mrs. Henry Dobberthein of Iowa, Michael of Elmira, Margaret (Mrs. Wm. Dobberthein) of Elora, Daniel of Kitchener, Jacob of Elmira, John of Bollingbrook, Ont., Katie (Mrs. Plate) of Kitchener, Lydia (Mrs. Levi Snyder) of Woolwich. Christina, (Mrs. Arthur Rhodes) of Kitchener. Magdalena (Mrs. Armand Fulcher) of Elmira. One brother, Daniel of Kitchener, also 54 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren survive the deceased. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon. Rev. L. Kalbfleisch of St. James church officiated. The pallbearers were six grandsons; Clayton, Fred, Clarence and Gordon Fries, Herbert Dobberthein and Gordon Plate.

    Notes:

    Mrs. Elizabeth Fries

    This afternoon the remains of the late Elizabeth Frey, beloved wife of Michael Fries, were laid in their final resting place in St. James' Lutheran Cemetery. The late Mrs. Fries was born in Baden, Germany, September 10, 1842. On August 10, 1861, she was united in marriage to Michael Fries. Mr. and Mrs. Fries lived for many years on a farm on the road between West Montrose and Elora. They moved to Elmira about 24 years ago where they have resided since.

    Mrs. Fries began to fail in health about a year ago and a fall down the cellar steps about eight days ago helped to hasten her death.

    She leaves to mourn her loss her beloved husband and eleven children: Solomon, Manor, Sask.; Franey (Mrs. Henry Dobberthein), Clive, Iowa; Michael, Elmira; Margaret (Mrs. William Dobberthein), Elora; Daniel, Kitchener; Jacob, Elmira; John, Packenham; Catherine (Mrs. Henry Plate), Kitchener, Lydia (Mrs. Levi Snider), Elmira; Christina (Mrs. Arthur Rhodes), Kitchener; and Magdalena (Mrs. Armond Fulcher), Elmira. There is also one brother, Christian Frey of Heidelberg. There are 54 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren.

    The funeral was held at two o'clock from the home on King Street to St. James' Lutheran Church for service, thence to St. James' Cemetery for burial. Rev. Mr. Kalbfleisch officiated. The Pall-bearers were the six grandsons of the deceased; Clayton Fries, Fred Fries, Gordon Fries, Edger Plate, Clarence Fires, and Herbert Dobberthein.
