DEATH OF MRS. SIMON SCHEDEWITZ SUDDEN-DUE TO HEART FAILURE

Extremely sudden was the death of Mrs. Simon Schedewitz, of Floradale, who was found dead in her bed yesterday morning by members of her family. When she retired for the night Tuesday evening she seemed to be enjoying her usual health, but it is thought that heart failure set in during the night and caused her death without even awakening her. Though she had never been ill, she had been troubled with her heart for some time. Her death has come as a great shock to the community.

Born in 1854 in Germany, the late Mrs. Schedewitz came to this country when three years of age, accompanying her parents Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Zinkann, who settled in Wellesley township. She continued to live there until her marriage to Mr. Schedewitz, when they settled in Woolwich township. Two years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Schedewitz moved to Floradale, selling their farm about five miles north east of Elmira.

Besides her husband, the late Mrs. Schedewitz leaves eight children as follows: John, of Bridgeport; Mrs. Cole, of Kitchener; Mrs. Hewson, of Woolwich; George, of Bridgeport; Mrs. Winfield, of Kitchener; Charles of Pilkington; and Henry of Floradale.

The funeral takes place on Saturday afternoon from the residence at Floradale. Services will also be held at St. Paul's Church, Elmira, and thence to the Elmira Union Cemetery.

He worked in Berlin for some time and then came to this village, where he carried on a wagon-making business, 13 years ago he had a paralytic stroke which partially lamed him and deprived him of the power of speech which he recovered only to an imperfect degree. He patiently bore the cross thus laid upon him. Deceased always manifested a lively interest in church and school. He leaves behind a widow, four sons and two daughters, also a brother residing in Michigan, who came over to see the remains of his brother laid in the grave. The burial took place on Tuesday Nov. 27th in presence of a large number of friends. Funeral services were held by Rev. R. T. Vorberg in the Lutheran church. May the Lord comfort the bereaved family and may consolation come to them through the hope of a reunion with the departed in the realms of light where there shall be no more sorrow and tears shall cease to flow.
