Notes:

John Brandle, resident of the Heidelberg area, died on November 8th. Born in 1824 in Mezingen, Upper department of Urach, Württemberg, he came to America in 1845 and, after a difficult journey, arrived in this area. He was hired as a shoemaker by the Wissler brothers near Lexington, and several years later, he settled down on his residence where he has lived ever since. From his marriage in the year of 1845 to Rosina Barbara Eberwein, six daughters and six sons have been born. Four of the latter have preceded their father in death. Peace be to his remains!

__________________________

A small cider mill built by John Braendle (1824-1900) had been located on this homestead homestead property north of Heidelberg since the late 1860's. About 1878 John replaced it with a larger, more modern mill and around 1938 Elmer Braendle (John's grandson) rebuilt and relocated the cookhouse. In tracking down new information about the mill, I intereviewed Emanuel Bowman aged 82. From the age of 14 he worked periodically at the cider mill until it closed. Using this chronology then, the closing date of the Braendle cider mill is brought forward almost a decade to about 1949.

QUEEN STREET SOUTH, EAST SIDE.

On the corner of King Street Rehscher's vaulted cellar already spoken of.

An open space.

A two-story rough-cast building with two-story veranda along the Queen Street front built by Martin Anthes (father of John S. Anthes) in 1835 when it was considered one of the best houses in the village. Henry Stroh purchased this house from Mr. Anthes about 1837. Jacob Stroh was born in this house. Behind it there was a garden of about an acre of land. There were 31 pine stumps on the property when Mr. Stroh took possession and these stumps had to be laboriously removed as stump- pulling machines, which came later, were not then available. The well on the lot was only nine feet deep. Henry Stroh carried on a shoe shop in his house until he entered into partnership with Carl Kranz, on King Street.

In 1857, after he had dissolved partnership with Kranz, Henry Stroh built a one and one-half story frame building next to his house and used it as a shoe store. Mr. Stroh continued in this shoe business until 1863 when he went into partnership with Mr. Reinhold Lang, the tanner. The Queen Street shoe shop was changed to a dwelling. Later Mr. Vanderhart, a tailor, had his shop in this building and after him Carl Englehart had it as photographer. Henry Stroh sold his house to George King. Later Charles Ahrens owned it and had it moved to the corner of Shanley and Braun Streets about 1880.

A one and one-half story frame building erected about 1837 by Jacob Kraemer, later on Frederick Street, as spoken of. Later an addition was added to the front and the building used as the local post office, with William Davidson in charge. Later George Seip purchased the building and used it as a saloon, with a bowling alley in the rear, the first bowling alley in Berlin. William Jaffray lived in the house for a time and later William Knell, son-in-law of Mr. Seip.

A one and one-half story frame building, originally a cooper shop, later the dwelling of Mr. Seip, after he sold the other building. In 1860 he built a brewery, known as Seip's brewery. Under the whole building he had a vaulted cellar built of field stone. Power for the brewery was supplied by a horse-power contained in an attached shed, shelter for the horses. Seip had a high reputation for good beer. He at first made his own malt, but later purchased it. After George Seip's death his son Louis continued the business until about 1880. The building was finally torn down to make room for the present auditorium.

The cooper shop, a small one story building, with brick chimney such as coopers used to heat staves for their barrel making, operated by Henry Brickner who later had his shop at the corner of Young and King Streets. Later Adam Stein had the Queen Street cooper shop. The Berlin coopers were experts in the making of what was called tight-wear,that is water-tight barrels, in large tuns which they made for the brewers.

A very early building, occupied by John Peters, a cabinet maker in Hoffman's factory, about 1860. The building had an outside stairway at the back. Peters was a bird lover and expert in trapping native song birds, mocking birds, cat birds, finches, etc., which he hung under his veranda roof in public display.

On the corner of Church Street a frame house occupied by Mr. Knechtel, a weaver, about 1842-1850. Knechtel moved to a farm in Mannheim where later he was injured in the spine by a falling tree to such an extent that he was bedfast for fourteen or fifteen years. He lived to about 1871. Conrad Doering occupied the Queen Street house for a time. He also was a weaver and made coverlets, etc. The house was torn down to make room for the present one of brick built by Dr. Clemens and later occupied by the late Dr. Walters.

Church Street.

On the south side St. Paul's Lutheran Church.

A one and one-half story unpainted frame building with gable towards the street, the dwelling, about 1860, of John Fleischauer, a laborer, a native of Hessen, Germany.

A one and one-half story house occupied by E. Kern, cabinet maker, about 1860 and later by John Ansted.

A vacant lot.

George Street.

Joseph Schneider originally owned all the land between George Street and Mill Street, mostly woods at that time, and extending to Benton and Eby Streets.

Mathias Stricker, who died last Thursday in Waterloo, was 93 years old. He was born in Laufen, Württemberg and came to Waterloo County in 1832. Four years later, he married Elisabeth Baumann, and the couple settled near St. Jacobs. He was a farmer and a shoemaker at the same time, and often picked up the leather for his hand-work on foot, in Dundas. In 1874, he moved to Waterloo, where he has lived ever since. He is survived by only one daughter, Mrs. M. Anthes, as well as eight grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. The deceased was one of the first members of the Evangelical Congregation in Canada.
