Deceased had been unwell for several years past and had been confined to his bed for the past four months suffering from neuralgia of the head, which, together with the infirmities of old age, were the cause of death.

    Deceased was quiet and unassuming in manner and was respected by all who knew him. Fifty-one years ago he was married to Elizabeth Holzwarth in Waterloo Township, by the Rev. Mr. Wunderlich, the couple celebrating the 50th anniversary of their marriage a year ago last April.

    Besides a sorrowing wife, five children survive, namely: George of Millbank: John of Bad Axe, Mich.; Annie (Mrs. Liphardt), Guelph; Mary (Mrs. Len), Waterloo, and Adam, of Guelph. Another daughter, Elizabeth died some twenty-five years ago.

    Three brothers, Baltzer of Waterloo. Henry of Zurich, Heinrich of Highgate, Ont., and one sister, Mrs. Schittler of Zurich, also survive.

    The funeral of the late J. George Pfaff was held on Tuesday from the residence, Albert street, to St. John's Lutheran church, where services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Oberlander, of Berlin. Interment took place in Mount Hope cemetery.
