He was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him. Deceased was born at Uterhausen, Alsfoldt, Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany, on Sept. 26th, 1827. When yet a lad of 10 he struck out for himself, taking the then long trip across the ocean and landing in Waterloo. Ten years later he was married to Miss Kate Weber. The young couple located in East Zorra, near Cassel, and after a time they moved to a farm which he bought near Bamberg. Five years later they moved to the farm on the west hank of the pond, in this village where they have lived ever since. His wife, aged and blind, survives him, besides a family of ten children: John, at Gretna, Man.; Charles, on the home farm ; Philip, in Berlin ; Mrs. John Kaufmann, here ; Jacob, in Baden ; Mrs. Louis Fleischhauer, here; Louis, in New Hamburg; Henry, in Baden ; William, at Gretna, Man , and Miss Emma, with her mother at home, besides two that died in infancy.
