    Notes:

    PIONEER RESIDENT CALLED TO REST
    MR. ADAM HERRMANN HAS PASSED AWAY

    On Thursday, June 16, inst., Mr. Adam Herrmann, an aged and respected citizen of Elmira, died at his home on Park Avenue.

    Mr. Herrmann was born in Germany and migrated to Canada at the age of fourteen. He came to Canada with his two sisters and a brother-in-law and they located in Conestogo.

    He worked two years with a farmer, then apprenticed himself to the coopering trade, with his brother-in-law. In 1863 he married Miss Catherine Stroh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Stroh of Conestogo.

    Mr. and Mrs. Herrmann lived for a year in Waterloo town, after which, in 1864, they began farming, about 3 miles east of Elmira, where he lived 54 years. Mrs. Herrmann predeceased her husband in 1900. Mr. Herrman moved about three years ago to Elmira.

    Two sons and four daughters survive their parents,--namely, Mr. Charles Herrmann and Mr. George both of Elmira; Caroline (Mrs. Albert Knarr) of Conestogo; Mary (Mrs. Henry Eix) of Elmira; Emelia (Mrs. Wm. Becker) of Woolwich Township ad Miss Clara Herrmann, at home.

    Mr. Herrmann enjoyed good health until he reached his 77th year, when in 1913 he suffered a paralytic stroke on his right side. In 1915, he had the misfortune to fall and fracture his leg. Since April of this year he had difficulty in breathing and gradually became weaker, finally passing to rest on Thursday of last week. He was born on March 6, 1837 and died on June 16, 1921, and thus was 84 years, 3 months and 10 days of age when dissolution came.

    On Sunday, June 19, his funeral was held from his late residence on Park Avenue, to St. James' Lutheran Church, where Rev. J. Strempfer conducted services, after which burial took place in St. James' Church cemetery.

    The pallbearers were six of his old neighbors; Messrs-Addison Snyder, George Miller, Louis Schmermund, Conrad Braun, Charles Winfield and Walter Durst.

    The funeral was largely attended by friends, who regretted deeply the death of a sterling man. He was industrious. honest and goodhearted-one of those pioneers who helped give Waterloo its good reputation for industry and thrift.

    His passing onward to eternal rest is mourned by many and to the bereaved sons and daughters and relatives the sincere sympathy of the community is extended.
