DEATH OF WILLIAM HENRY CLEMENS.

At his residence on Oak street, Galt, on Sunday, Mr. Walter H. Clemens, son of the late Mr. Oliver Clemens, passed away in his forty-eighth year.

Mr. Clemens had been a sufferer for a long time, a victim of consumption, but an attack of hemorrhage absorbed all the strength that had been left by the insidious disease. He was born in the county of Waterloo and had spent all his life on his farm at Blair. Last spring he retired from business and lived in Preston, and it was only revently he went to Galt to reside.

Deceased had been twice married, and now leaves a widow and five children by his first wife and one by its second. A brother and sister also are left to mourn his loss, Mrs. Joseph Stauffer, of Galt, and Dr. G. H. Clemens, of Toronto.

The remains of the deceased gentleman were laid to rest in Blair cemetery Tuesday afternoon, the first part of the burial service being held Blair church.

Business:
In the year 1859 the grist mill was sold to Henry Aaron Bechtel who in the year 1875 sold it to Henry McNally, Angus McNally, Oliver Clemens and Moses Eschelman. This group converted the building into a woollen mill, and operated it for many years. A number of years later the machinery was sold to a North Bay concern. This building is at present utilized as an ice house, owned by F. I. Willson.

Waterloo Historical Society 1941, 29th Annual Report

_____________________

The first milling venture included a saw mill and grist mill,* built on the Blair-Galt Road by Daniel and Jacob Erb. Erected in 1808, it is now used as an ice house by Ford Willson of Preston. In 1859 the property was sold to Henry Aaron Bechtel who lived on the farm now owned by Jim Johannes. Here stands one of the oldest houses in the district. According to a record in the masonry it was built by the Bechtels in 1817. In 1875 the mill was transferred to Henry McNally, Angus McNally, Oliver Clemens and Moses Eschelman. This group converted the building into a woollen mill and continued in business until the manager, Angus McNally, died in April, 1903. Following that, a North Bay concern bought the establishment, then' moved all the machinery away. As a boy the writer had the pleasure of working in that woollen mill. I shall never forget the water wheel which ran all the machinery. It had timbers like those in a barn, and the steel axle upon which it was built weighed one and one-half tons. Farmers brought their w'ool to the mill and bought blankets, cloth, yarn and batting.

Death of Mr. Henry Hagey, of Preston - This worthy resident of Preston, one of its oldest and most honored citizens, died very suddenly on Wednesday afternoon last. Mr. Hagey has been afflicted with heart disease for some years, more a disease incidental to his age than acute, and with the care which he was enabled to take of himself, it was not thought his ailment would prove fatal. However, last Wednesday morning he appeared as well as usual, and went for a walk, returning in time for dinner. During the afternoon, his friend, Mr. Ambrose Winter paid him a visit and they had a pleasant conversation for some little time, Mr. Hagey seeming as well and cheerful as usual. Shortly after Mr. Maurice Hagey, hearing a noise, entered Mr. Hagey's room, when he was shocked to find his grandfather lying on the floor quite dead. Mr. Hagey was born in Preston, March 2nd, 1823, his whole life having been spent in or in the immediate vicinity of the village. He was by trade a blacksmith, and carried on business for some years in the shop now occupied by Kay Bros., at the east end of the village. He retired from that business and carried on farming until about ten years ago, when he again became a resident of his native village. Municipally he served his village as Reeve for several years. His family consisted of five children, viz.: - Mr. Isaac Hagey, of Preston; Mr. Jonas Hagey, of Davenport, Iowa; Mrs. M. Bricker, of Berlin; Mrs. Jacob Slichter, of Blenheim; and Mrs. W. Clemens, of Blair. The funeral on Saturday afternoon was very largely attended.
