    HESPELER'S OLDEST MANN PASSES
    SOLOMON COBER LIFE LONG RESIDENT OF DISTRICT PASSES IN 95TH YEAR

    In the passing of Solomon Cober at his home here on Saturday afternoon, Hespeler's oldest man has gone to rest. Another link with the past has disappeared, for Mr. Cober had been a member of one of the Pioneer families of Puslinch Township and this district, and had spent almost his entire life within this community. The son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Cober who came to this district with the immigration of the early nineteenth century, the late Mr. Cober had watched his township and the nieghbouring towns grow from small Hamlets. During the long course of his lifetime he had made a very wide circle of friends and he held their respect and high esteem of all who knew him. Death came to Mr. Cober, in his 95th year, following an illness of some duration. Born in Puslinch Township, Mr Cober spent his youth there. He was married twice, his first wife being Miss Hanna Strome. Shortly after his marriage he moved to Huron Township where he farmed for several years. While he was residing there his wife passed away. In 1882 he was married at Zurich to Miss Elizabeth Pletch. Some time after that he returned to his native Puslinch and to farm, and fourteen years ago he and Mrs. Cober celebrated the golden anniversary of their wedding. The late Mr. Cober was a member of the Mennonite Church and had taken an active interest in the work of the church. Surviving are his wife in Hespeler and ten children. Mrs Cyrus Gingrich of Stevensville, David Cober of Kossuth, Simon Cober of Strussburg, Mrs. Jessie Winger of Wambleet, Mrs. Ralph Elston of Aberfoyle, Jacob Cober of Toronto, Mrs Isaiah Beer of Clearview, Mrs. Carl Baker of Kindesly, Sask., Wesley Cober of Toronto, and Mrs. Norman Rieck of Hespeler. Two sons, Henry and Edward Cober, predeceased their father. A brother Isaac Cober of Kossuth, and a sister Mrs. E. Gingrich of Akron, Ohio also survive. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon with a short service at his late residence. The funeral then moved to Union Cemetery, Puslinch where service was held prior to interment in Union Cemetery. Rev Ernest Swalm of Stayner and Rev Bert Shirk of Stevensville conducted the services. The pallbearers were Nelson Cober and Jeniah Cober of Staynor, Ben Winger and Earl Winger of Wainfleet Howard Cober of Toronto and Ervin Cober of Strasburg.

In April, 1800, they, with their two children and others, moved to Canada and settled in Vaughan Township, York County, Ontario, about twelve miles north of Toronto. During the first years of their Canadian life they had to contend with numerous hardships and self-denials. In 1810 they had already cleared some eighty acres of their large farm and had erected a comfortable log dwelling and log barn thereon. In course of time the first buildings were replaced by more expensive residences. (Old Mr. Cober must have seen quite a difference in the country from 1800, when it was all forest, until 1840 when York was the Banner County and Toronto the capital of Canada).
