Notes:

Catherine Klinck Hastings, August's daughter, talked with me a few years before she died, about growing up in Elmira. She remembered that her father August, who was a carpenter, had carved the ornate sides Christian Dreisinger's first motor hearse. In those early 1900s days, funeral home owners sometimes made their own hearses; perhaps because some were also carpenters. Christian Dreisinger wasn't a carpenter but family history about Dreisinger Funeral Home was that Christian had done the woodwork on his first hearse. Catherine expressed annoyance that her dad didn't receive the credit he was due for his fine work.

Notes:

VETERAN CITIZEN IS CALLED BY DEATH

Mr. Karl Klinck, Patriarch of Community Lays Down His Task

WAS SPLENDID TYPE
Came to Canada From Germany When Nineteen Years of Age

Yesterday morning Elmira's veteran citizen, Mr. Karl Klinck, laid down the weapons of battle after having fought the good fight as one of the earliest pioneers of this district for nearly three-quarters of a century. He was the oldest male resident of this town, having just celebrated his eighty-ninth birthday a week ago. His illness was of short duration, as he was seriously ill for only a few days. He had for years been a familiar figure on the streets of Elmira, and his death has caused universal regret.

Mr. Klinck was born in the Palatinate (Rhinish Bavaria), that picturesque province of Germany, which came so near destruction at the end of the great war, just before the armistice was declared in November, 1918. His old home was but a few miles from the place where the cannons uttered their last roars.

After his school days he was apprenticed to the Cabinet Makers' trade in a neighboring town. The reminiscences of Mr. Klinck's apprentice years, as he occasionally related them for the benefit of the younger generation, are interesting. The ways of the world in those days were hard but they were productive of men well able to take care of themselves and men admirably fitted to take up the pioneer life of the new world to which many later emigrated. His duties as an apprentice were to pay a certain amount of money as "Lehrgeld"; to rise at 5 o'clock in the morning; to do certain chores in the shop and house of his master and to work at the bench from six o'clock in the morning until late at night. Breakfast was served at six and consisted of a few buns and a cup of coffee. Then there was nothing to eat before dinner was served. Dinner consisted of meat and soup, which was served so hot that the eating of it was a painful operation.

If an apprentice ever forgot that he had no business in the company of his journeyman fellow workers after hours, he was effectively reminded of his place in society by a thorough boxing of his ears. Under such conditions the life an apprentice was not a "cinch" as the expression now goes. However he grew to be a strong healthy young man of 18 when his apprenticeship ended. Then he entered upon his "Wandershaft," going from place to place working a few weeks in a shop, thus learning methods practiced by other masters.

In 1854, at the age of 19 years, Mr. Klinck emigrated to America. He embarked at Havre, on a sail ship, which required about six weeks to make the voyage and which had the cholera on board. He saw twenty-six of his fellow passengers who had died from the disease placed on a board in a covering of sail cloth, slid into the sea where the monsters of the deep took possession of the bodies before they had time to sink. From New York harbor he came by rail to Berlin (Kitchener) whence he started off on a rainy, muddy autumn day, by foot, to Elmira, where his uncle, the late Henry Christman, kept hotel, in the house which formerly stood where now stands the Steddick House. There were then but few houses in the village. The streets were in a lamentable condition and altogether, the contrast between the country he had left and the wilderness to which he had wandered was not calculated to impress him favorably with his adopted country. Nevertheless, he looked for work and found it with the late Mr. Henry Martin who was the pioneer builder and contractor of this part of the country.

After his marriage 1860, he took up residence on the farm and converted the primitive, stumpy acres into one of the finest and most fertile farms of the district, at the same time following his trade of building and manufacturing furniture, etc. during the winter months. He bought building lots in the village, prepared the material in the winter and erected some fifteen houses and stored [worked?] on them during the summer months, his enterprise helping materially in making Elmira the central place of business in northern Waterloo. He was also identified with many forward movements and his influence could always be found on the side of enterprise and progressiveness. To write a history of his activities would be to write a history of Elmira and the district around it. Briefly he adapted himself to the conditions he met, was an energetic worker, was blessed with good health, took reverses philosophically and while rearing a large family with the assistance of his good wife, he attained easy circumstances, so that he was able to retire from the farm to the village in the year 1903, since which time he was active and busy as formerly though not so severely taxed for production. He possessed many of the sterling qualities of character as well as the high sense of justice and respect for the law which were so instrumental in laying the foundations for the moral solidity of this comparatively new country and which might well be emulated by the present generation. Socially he was genial and considerate and made many friends by whom he will be greatly missed. With few interruptions he enjoyed good health so that he was able to be about and to take a live interest in his surroundings.

Deceased was a member of the Lutheran church and a firm adherent to the excellent precepts of the great Reformer which descended to him through his forefathers of several centuries, before the religious sky of the old land was clouded by the modern theology which precipitated Germany into a maze of doubt and unbelief. He is survived by his eleven children, namely Catherine at home; George, until lately editor of the Elmira Signet, and now engaged in various business enterprises in Elmira; Margaret (Mrs. J.B. Lein); Caroline (Mrs. John H. Miller); Lizzie at home; Charles N., optician; August, mechanical foreman in the Elmira Rubber Factory; Clara (Mrs. Wm. Heckendorn) and Ida at home. Besides these he leaves behind twenty-one grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, and 2 sisters, Mrs. P. Jansen and Mrs. Henry Dunke. These will mourn the loss of a generous, kind-hearted family head who enjoyed their love as well as the respect of the whole community. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon at two o'clock from his late residence at 14 Arthur Street. A service will be held at St. Paul's Lutheran church after which interment will take place in the Elmira Union Cemetery.

ELMIRA

SHOE, FELT AND WOOLEN WORKS

Among the manufacturing industries of Elmira the above concern must be reckoned one of the most important, as it gives employment to the largest number of wage-earners and many of them expert and skilled mechanics. It is a part of the old Winger & Weaver Woolen factory. The latter, the first indusdry of note in this town, was established in 1856, by Peter Winger and Samuel Weaver who were prominent among the early settlers in this vicinity. They commenced operations in 1856 and continued to run it until 1873, when Mr. Henry Winger, son of the well known member of the firm, took charge and operated it until 1883, and after that in company with his brother, J. B. Winger, until 1895, at which time they added the felt manufactory. It was then operated by J. B. Winger and Amasa Winger for short one year, when in the spring of 1896, a joint stock company was formed and the plant improved and placed on a more extensive scale. The company is made up of some of the leading and most responsible citzens of the town, viz: Henry Winger, J. B. Winger, Amasa Winger, J. P. Lackhardt, Weber & Erb, M. Weichel, J. S. Weichel, Daniel Ratz, Casper Ziegler, David Snider, Chas. Klinck and son George, Henry Mogk and Isaac Hilborn. Board of Directors: A. H Erb, President; Henry Winger, Daniel Ratz, Casper Ziegler and J. P. Luckhardt, John Peel, Treasurer and general manager.

They manufacture both leather and felt goods, and the class of work turned out is equal in style, workmanship, finish and material to that of any other establishment of the kind in Ontario. There is a steady demand for about all the company can manufacture with their present facilities, most of their goods going to the Northwest and the Maritime Provinces. From twenty-five to thirty hands are employed. The factory is equipped with the latest and best improved machinery, and a walk through the building when all hands are at work will convince any person that experienced workmen are employed and that great care is exercised in putting the material together in a way that must produce a popular and durable article. The very latest styles of footwear are turned out. The company still continues the woolen factory and manufactures fine tweeds, flannels blankets and other woolen goods, and are always prepared for custom work.

Notes:

MRS. CHAS. KLINCK, SR. DIED ON TUESDAY
WAS ONE OF ELMIRA'S OLDEST AND MOST RESPECTED CITIZENS

A resident of Elmira for upward of sixty years, and an honored wife and mother departed this life on Tuesday, January 4, inst., in the person of Mrs. Charles Klinck, Sr. The deceased lady had reached the ripe age of 80 years 3 months and 13 days.

Mrs. Klinck's maiden name was Elizabeth Hollinger. She and Mr. Klinck were married on January 3, 1860, at the then town of Berlin by the Rev. Mr. Bindemann. Her home was in Heidelberg and there the young couple resided for three months before removing to Elmira in April of 1860. On January 3, 1920, they had the rare good fortune of celebrating their diamond wedding, representing sixty years of happy married life. Their children number nine and all of these were able to attend the diamond wedding celebration.

Mr. Klinck, her husband is still in fairly good health, though he has passed his 85^th birthday. The names of their surviving children are: Miss Catherine Klinck, who lives at home, Mr. George Klinck, Mrs. John B. Lein, Mr. Charles N. Klinck, Misses Carolline and Lizzie Klinck, living at home, Mr. August Klinck, Mrs. William Heckendorn and Miss Ida, living at home.

All the children and grandchildren with the exception of one granddaughter (Mrs. W.D. Schmidt, of Kitchener) reside in Elmira.
Mr. and Mrs. Klinck's grandchildren number twenty and their great-grandchildren four. Of her father's family, only Mrs. Margaret Wahl of Elmira survives her.

During the first 43 years of their married life, Mr. and Mrs. Klinck lived on the farm opposite the C.P.R. station, adjacent to Elmira, on north Arthur street. When her husband purchased the farm it was in a primitive state. Mrs. Klinck proved a valuable helpmate to him in their task of meeting and overcoming the vicissitudes which beset pioneers in Northern Waterloo. She was a woman of sound Christian principles, possessed considerable strength of character and was a pattern of industry.

In 1903 Mr. and Mrs. Klinck retired to a fine residence on North Arthur street. During those sixty years, Mr. and Mrs. Klinck had lived in only two houses. The one on the farm and the other a quarter of a mile from it on the ?? street.

Mrs. Klinck had for thirty-seen years been a sufferer from rheumatism, and for about seven years she had been unable to leave her home. Shortly before Christmas, she became ill, but it was not until Sunday morning that her condition became serious. She grew gradually weaker and death ended her sufferings on Tuesday.

Her funeral will be held on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, from her late residence, proceeding to St. Paul's Lutheran Church for services, after which interment will take place in the Elmira Union Cemetery.

In her death Elmira loses a highly esteemed woman and her husband and family a beloved mother and wife. Hers has been a signally useful, fruitful life. Her departure will be sincerely mourned by all who enjoyed her friendship or acquaintance. The sympathy of the community will go out to the bereaved family.
