Notes:

GEORGE LIPPERT.

George Lippert, whose furniture factory is one of the leading industrial enterprises of Waterloo, is a native of Germany, as the name indicates. He was born on the 1st of October, 1850, in Reinroth, his parents being George and Mary (Hamel) Lippert, both of whom were natives of the fatherland. The family came to Ontario in 1854, settling in the village of Waterloo.

George Lippert, who was but three years of age at the time of the emigration to the new world, was educated in the public schools of Waterloo and afterward in Preston served an apprenticeship to the cabinet maker's trade. He followed that pursuit as a journeyman until 1893, when he became identified with the furniture manufacturing business in Waterloo under the firm style of Lippert, Schafer & Company. That connection was maintained until 1899, when he sold his interest in the enterprise and established his present business, which has grown from a small beginning to one of extensive proportions, a hundred employees being in the factory at the present time. He manufactures parlor furniture, fancy chairs, hat racks, etc., and the trade extends from Halifax on the east to Vancouver on the west. The factory is well equipped with modern machinery, including the latest inventions to facilitate the work of the shops and produce the best results in the finished product. The quality of the furniture which Mr. Lippert ships makes it a most marketable commodity and the business methods which he has instituted have gained for the house an unassailable reputation. Mr. Lippert is a self-made man who started out in life in his boyhood days without funds, but by economy and diligence he was enabled to make a start and in the course of years has advanced from the commonplace in business to a position of industrial leadership in Waterloo.

In 1872 Mr. Lippert was married to Miss Rosa Kayser, a daughter of William Kayser of Berlin, and they now have nine children, five sons and four daughters, namely: George J., who is with his father; Edward, who is connected with the furniture trade; Otilla; Alfred, who is in his father's shop; Herbert, who is bookkeeper for the firm; Ida; Florence; Oscar and Gladys.

Mr. Lippert belongs to the Lutheran Church and is interested in its growth and the extension of its influence. His political views are in accord with the principles of the Liberal party. He belongs to the Ancient Order of United Workmen, the Masonic fraternity and the Concordia Singing Society, possessing much of the musical taste so characteristic of his race.

Death of George Lippert, SR.

George Lippert, sr., of Kitchener, Ont., whose death was recorded in our last issue, stood high in the estimation of his fellow citizens. He was chairman of the light commission and besides being president of the Lippert Furniture Company, was one of the city's most sterling and progressive citizens. Mr. Lippert's death occurred following an operation at the hospital when a leg had to be amputated. He had been resting as well as could be expected following the operation, but the shock proved too much. The affliction necessitated two previous operations before the amputation of the leg. The death of Mr. Lippert began with a diseased toe. Kitchener has therefore suffered a distinct loss. Unassuming but straightforward, genial and sincere in all his relations, the deceased enjoyed the highest respect of all who met him, either socially or in business. Through his industry he became successful in furniture manufacturing. In the trade he was well known owing to the fact that he was one of the oldest in the furniture business in the country. The name George Lippert was favorably known from coast to coast with the trade. Although wrapped in his attention to his own business the deceased found time to serve his community. For 17 years he was a member of the local light commission and for 17 years he enjoyed the increasing confidence of the citizens who sent him back to office by big majorities every two years. Having only the interest of the city at heart, and using his characteristic good judgment in doing the city's business his candidacy was never seriously challenged by the ratepayers. Since 1921 he was chairman of the commission which conducts the city's electric and gas business and the street railway, all three of which have made good showing under circumstances that have not always been favorable. In the transaction of business of the city he showed forethought and care that characterizes him in his private business. The deceased had been largely identified with the Hydro electric movement. The deceased, while born in the old country spent practically his whole life in Kitchener. He was 71 years of age. The furniture trade and George Lippert were synonymous. Coming to Kitchener from Windsor he served his apprenticeship at the old Simpson factory. Bring ambitious and industrious he wanted to see how business was conducted in other factories, and for a number of years he was a valued employee of the H. Krug Furniture Co. He was a first-class cabinet maker and machine hand, and as he gained in experience he yearned for a business of his own. In 1893 he entered into partnership with the late Henry Schaefer and they went into business in Waterloo in what is now known as the Woeller-Bolduc furniture factory. For over five years the firm carried on a successful business, when Mr. Lippert decided to branch out for himself. A factory was erected on Louisa street in 1889 and as the business increased additions were made to the plant. Strict attention meant success and the present commodious factory is a monument to the deceased who saw great things in store for his city, and who by his untiring efforts did his small part in making Kitchener an industrial centre second to non in Canada.

Notes:

In 1866, the Kaiser band was organized at a meeting held in the old market building. William Kaiser, who was considered one of the foremost band musicians of Detroit, had come to Berlin, and he became the head of the new organization, which was successfully launched. This new aspirant for public favor and honor was a thorn in the side of the veteran Glebe, and feeling between the leaders ran high. Some of the encounters between them were amusing and at times spirited, though never fraught with serious results. Glebe eventually retired from Berlin, and took hold of the musical talent in Waterloo.

Among those who were enrolled as the earlier members of the Kaiser band were the following : Noah Zeller, E flat clarinet ; William Kaiser, B flat cornet ; George Lippert, E flat cornet ; Ben H. Ziegler, B flat cornet ; Albert Ziegler, B flat cornet ; John S. Smith, E flat cornet ; Wm. Fleischhauer, alto ; Wm. Kaiser, Jr., horn ; F. Kress and Henry Moebus,alto ; Louis Seip, brewer, now deceased, bass ; Ambrose Schill, Mich., Geo. Schaefer, now in Rochester, trombone. It will be seen that the total membership was about fifteen and that the instrumentation was almost entirely brass. This band was in existence about ten years. The leader Wm. Kaiser is well remembered by hundreds of our citizens. He conducted the Kaiser hotel, King east, for many years, and was master of many instruments himself, and a successful music teacher.

On the corner a one and one-half story frame building, lengthwise with King Street, occupied by Adam Jaeckel as a bakery. Jaeckel had a high reputation as a baker and guarded the secret of his process. The story is that he had his bake-oven in the basement of the building, where in the evening he would set dough for about forty loaves of bread. He would then put the cover on the baking trough and sleep on it. When the dough would rise sufficiently, about three or four o'clock in the morning, it would wake him. He would then proceed with his baking and later go fishing, of which he was very fond. Later on this building, painted drab, was used by Town Constable Joachim.

AGED CITIZEN PASSES AWAY

One of Berlin's oldest citizens passed away on Sunday at 5.15 a.m., in the person of William Kaiser, at his late home on King street, near Cedar street, in which house he had lived since coming to Berlin in 1868.

Deceased was born in Westphalia- Preissen, Germany, in 1822, and was consequently in his 83rd year. In 1857 he came to America and settled at Detroit. He was for a time assistant leader of the Detroit City Band. Subsequently he organized the Zuave Band in that city and was its bandmaster until his removal to Berlin. During his residence in Detroit he was also leader of a band in Windsor.

In 1868 he moved to Berlin, starting a hotel in the building which was his home up to the time of his death. He bought the house from Herman Rathman. He also became the first leader of the Berlin band, holding the position for a number of years, when he was succeeded by Mr. Noah Zeller. At the time he was bandmaster in Berlin, he also taught the bands in Waterloo, Elmira, Little Germany and Preston.

Almost up to the time of his death he was actively engaged in teaching music. He had, however, never quite recovered from an attack of grip, suffered about a year ago, and this coupled with his advanced age was the cause of death. His wife predeceased him slightly over a year ago. She had reached the age of 78. He is survived by seven sons and daughters. They are: Mrs. Morris Smith, Berlin; Mrs. George Lippert, Berlin; Mrs. Ephraim Runstettler, Walkerton: William Kaiser, London, Albert Kaiser, Walkerton; Mrs. John McKenzie, Buffalo, N. Y.; and Chas. Kaiser, West Branch, Michigan.

The funeral takes place at 2 p. m., Thesday from the house to Mount Hope cemetery. Rev. Emil Hoffman, of St. Matthew's church, will conduct the service.

Arrangements had been made for The band to visit deceased's home on Sunday afternoon. and he had looked orward with pleasant anticipation to This event, speaking of it as late as on Saturday to one of his daughters.
