    Notes:

    LUDWIG FOERSTER

    Another of the old pioneers of Waterloo county has passed away in the person of Mr. Ludwig Foerster, who died on the 23rd inst., at the home of Andrew Foerster, his son, who lives between here and St. Clements. Deceased was born in Baden, Germany, and came to Canada in 1835. He settled in Wellesley township when it was yet a "howling wilderness", and hewed out for himself a home in the woods. By dint of hard work and economy, coupled with sterling honesty, he contrived to leave to his children a fair share of this world's goods. He leaves 9 children, 63 grandchildren, and 50 great grandchildren. His remains were buried in the Lutheran cemetery, here, last Saturday. He had reached the ripe age of 90 years, 2 months and 17 days.
