    B.E. BECHTEL PASSES AWAY AT WATERLOO

    Prominent and Widely Knows Citizen Died Suddenly

    INSURANCE INSPECTOR AND MANUFACTURER

    The sudden passing shortly after one o'clock on Tuesday morning of Mr. Byron E. Bechtel, Inspector of the Waterloo Mutual Fire Insurance Company and for years one of the best known brick manufacturers of the province, came as a distinct shock to his family and friends. As he was about to retire on Monday evening after a busy day he was seized with a heart attack to which he succumbed shortly after one o'clock in the morning. His death removes a leading and highly regarded citizen of the town of Waterloo where he had resided for a period of over fifty years.

    Born in Blair, Sept. 30th, 1859, the son of Isaac and Jane Bechtel, he resided there with his parents until about 10 years of age when the family removed to Bridgeport. Following two years' residence in that village they moved to Waterloo where he had since resided. He received his education in the public school at Waterloo and at the K-W. High School, and after securing his teaching certificate he taught school in Haysville and Williamsburg for two years. He then became a member of the staff of the Waterloo Mutual Fire Insurance Company. A few years later he severed his connection with the company to enter into partnership with the late Mr. Buckberrough, forming the insurance agency of Buckberrough and Bechtel. In the year 1903, after fifteen years in agency work, the firm sold out to Mr. C. A. Boehm. Mr. Bechtel, who had been brought up a brick- maker, his father, the late Isaac Bechtel, having operated a brickyard for years, then became active in the business of brick manufacturing and also for a time carried on the manufacture of brick-making machinery, taking charge of the plant in 1892. He was of an inventive turn of mind and held valuable patents to brick-making machinery designed by him, which have been installed in brickyards in both Canada and the United States.

    In 1915 he was appointed inspector of the Waterloo Mutual Fire Insurance Company, a position he held until his death. He also continued to operate the brickyard north of Waterloo which he owned for many years.

    The late Mr. Bechtel was recognized as one of the best informed brick men in the Dominion and in earlier years was active in the Canadian National Clay Products Association of Canada of which he enjoyed the distinction of being the first president.

    He was also active in municipal circles for about ten years during which he was a valued member of the town council.

    The late Mr. Bechtel was an Odd fellow, having been a member for many years of the local lodge.

    His wife, Anna Margaret Taylor, daughter of the late C. M. Taylor, survives, together with a family of seven children, viz: Charles, of Edmonton, Alta.; Wilhelmina, Toronto; Myrtle (Mrs. C. S. Bean) of near Preston; Edith (Mrs. Howard Reed) Waterloo; Margie (Mrs. Glen Eby) Tara; Jane (Mrs. Hugh Van Every) Waterloo; and Ruth, (Mrs. Sanford Whiting), of Waterloo. He also leaves five sisters and one brother, viz: Mrs. A. C. Biggs, Burlington; Mrs. William McBain, Mountain View, Cal.; Eloine, Waterloo; Mrs. R. O. Dobbin, Waterloo; Mrs. Carrie R. Ratz, Toronto, and W. B. Bechtel, Kitchener. Three sisters and one brother predeceased him, viz: Mrs. Homer Watson, Doon; Mrs. Emily Martin, Waterloo; Ella May, Water- loo, and Milton, Elmira.
    The funeral will take place from his late residence, 59 Allen St., Waterloo, on Thursday at two o'clock p.m., to the Blair cemetery for Interment.
