TRADE HOLDS LORE AFTER FORTY YEARS BESIDE WORKBENCH

Henry F. Boehmer, 71, Still Vigorous After Long Service At Shoe Making And Repairing


Forty years at repairing shoes and still going strong. That is the record which Henry F. Boehmer who does his "cobbling" at 101 King street has made for himself. Despite the fact that he is 71 years of age Mr. Boehmer still takes a very lively interest in his trade, and does his work without any in speaking to assistance. a Record representative today, he recalled the time when he launched into the shoe making and shoe repairing trade, forty years ago, and states that at that time Waterloo was considerably larger than Kitchener Mr. Boehmer was born in Kitchener then Berlin in 1857 and lived there for twenty three years moving to Waterloo in 1880. After living here for a little over six years, he decided to go into the shoe business and moved to Milverton where he opened up a repair shop. Whether business was good or otherwise Mr. Boehmer did not stay, but after about a year and a half in Milverton he came back to Waterloo, establishing his shoe business here on April 1, 1888.

At that time Waterloo was almost as large as it is at present, tho Kitchener was even smaller than Waterloo. There were practically as many factories here then as there are now and Waterloo was quite an industrial centre, making swift strides toward advancement.

"Since opening that business here 40 years ago, Henry Boehmer stated, "I have not worked at any other trade. For the first while I used to manufacture shoes, but of late I have not made any. Business was very good at that time and has continued very well tho just at present it is a little slack.

Tho he has been working hard and consistently for forty consecutive years, and is 71 years of age, Mr. Boehmer certainly does not show it. He has plenty of vigor and vitality and these are matched by the merry twinkle in his eye.

Henry married Elizabeth "Lizzie" Kalbfleisch Feb 1882. Elizabeth (daughter of Joachim Kalbfleisch and Regina Cecile Geikle) was born 2 Aug 1863, Waterloo City, Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada; died 15 Jun 1901, Waterloo City, Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada; was buried , Mount Hope Cemetery, Waterloo City, Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada.

Death of Mrs. H. F. Boehmer.

Death removed from our midst at two o'clock Saturday morning Elizabeth Kalbfleisch, beloved wife of Henry F. Boehmer, after a lingering illness of about six months. Deceased had reached the age of 37 years, 10 months and 13 days. She was the second daughter of Mr. Joachim Kalbfleisch, proprietor of the Canadischer Bauern-freund, and was married to Henry F. Boehmer, shoemaker, about nineteen years ago. They have been residents of Waterloo with the exception of two years, ever since their marriage. A sorrowing husband, two children, a boy and a girl, aged 18 and 16 years respectively, are left to mourn her death. The funeral took place from the residence, Queen St., on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock to St. John's Lutheran church for service, thence to Mount Hope cemetery for interment. The family have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement.

Notes:

King Street, Kitchener

Eby to Cedar Street

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.

A garden.

A one and one-half story building lengthwise with King Street occupied by John Heller in 1843 as a jewelry and watchmaking shop.

Residence occupied by Philip Moogk, as cabinetmaker and carpenter.

A two story frame building with gable facing King Street, occupied by Gottlieb Ratliman, a tailor. The same building was used 1850-55 as a tavern by a Mr. Jahn, Bandmaster Kayser occupied one end of the building after 1864. Kayser also had a saloon and beer garden, the latter a place of general entertainment during the summer months, with concerts, dances, etc.
