Notes:

THE PRINTER OF ROSEVILLE

Louis M. Kaiser at the age of 90 is the oldest active printer in Canada, according to the "Canadian Printer". He has operated a job printing business in Roseville for 65 years and for 50 years in the same building he now occupies. His long association with the Galt Reporter began when he was learning his trade.

Mr. Kaiser is his own press composer and for many years has operated the business by himself. Down through the years he has printed for many firms and he is well known in the printing world. Recently he was made a complimentary life subscriber by the "Canadian Printer and Publisher".

Louis Kaiser lives in the 110 year old family home and operates his presses in a frame cottage of the same age. As a warehouse he uses a stone building which was constructed by his grandfather who lived in it for many years.

Our printer friend acted as bailiff for the Roseville area, and for 25 years performed the duties of a Justice of the Peace. At his advanced age his eyesight is keen, his typesetting touch is sure, and his handwriting is fine and full of character. The Waterloo Historical Society wishes him every happiness in the twilight of his busy life.

Residence:
This beautiful two storey log home has 4 over 4 window frames, a centered front door facing the road, and a shingled roof. The property used to be the home of the Kaiser family, and they had a printing shop, which has since been torn down. The Schiedel family is currently building an addition on the back of the house.
This log home was only recently 'discovered' when the present owners were replacing the siding on the house, the workers found the wood walls. They decided to simply renovate the original walls, and made the home appear to be as it was when it was originally built. This house was previously owned by Frederick and Louis Kaiser, who came to the Roseville area in 1822 from Pennsylvania. Fred Kaiser's son, Louis Kaiser was a printer and operated a printing shop located on the northeast corner of the property. In his shop, Louis Kaiser employed five men. His grandson, Robert Marshall, remembers as a little boy helping his grandfather deliver invoices in a horse and buggy to various to businesses in Galt. The printing shop also specialized in wedding invitations, funeral cards, and business cards. By the end of his career, Louis Kaiser had worn out five presses. His last press was donated to Doon Pioneer Village. On Friday January 31st, 1958 the headline of the Galt Reporter read,"Roseville printer, the Oldest in Canada" . The first school in the Roseville area was also located on the Kaiser farm across from the Roseville United Brethren in Christ Church. A blacksmith and cooper shop were also located on the property. In 1961, Stuart E. Franklin obtained a part of the former Kaiser property and started to build a residential subdivision. The size of the Kaiser property was reduced a great deal by this sale. In 1966, in agreement with Melvin Becker, a community water system was put in. After this system was installed many more homes were built.

Notes:

FRED KAISER.

This is the village blacksmith. He came to Roseville in the spring of 1844, and with the exception of five or six months has been a part of the population ever since. He was born in Wurtemburg, Germany, in 1828, being now in the 70th year of his age; yet he is in robust health and is found daily at the forge in his blacksmith shop. He came to America, when only fourteen years of age, with his parents, Berlin and Waterloo being then mere hamlets. Mr. Kaiser does general blacksmithing and builds wagons and cutters, and does all kinds of wood and iron work in this line. His son, Louis, who keeps the books, has just added a new feature to the business in the way of a small, but well equipped, job printing office, and is turning out some fine work in that line. The latter has had considerable experience in newspaper work, and I would not be surprised if Roseville did not, in the near future, suddenly find herself enjoying the blessed privilege of having a local newspaper.

Notes:

ROSEVILLE By Ira Kinzie

There is no one living that knows the origin of this village; but the most ancient document shows that Christian Shantz bought a tract of land from Robert Beasley in the year 1805. This had been a very active village at the close of the 19th century. It consisted of 4 churches in the village and the near vicinity, four hotels, a blacksmith shop, a shoemaker, also a printing establishment which is in operation at the present time by Louis Kaiser, probably one of the oldest men in the Roseville School Section. One general store also operated with a Post Office which ceased to function years ago. A saw mill was constructed by Benjamin Hallman and David Bricker, later operated by James Barton and last of all by David Clemens.

The village was named after a Mr. Rose who had been the first shoemaker. Mr. Christian Kaiser was the first blacksmith, also operating a cooper shop in his spare time and making barrels for the Goldie Milling Co. of Greenfield. Mr. Goldie would fetch the barrels with an ox team....

On May 11th, 1852, the trustees of the Lutheran congregation, namely Christian Kaiser, George Heilareigel and William Potter, bought 15,000 square feet of land from John R. Detweiler for the erection of a church in which to worship. Some years later it was sold to the United Brethren and is in use at the present time....
