Waterloo Mourns the Death of a Prominent Citizen - A Useful Public Career.

By the death of Mr. Levi Stauffer the Town and County of Waterloo lose one of its most prominent, useful and public spirited citizens.

Although he death was not altogether unexpected the news came as a shock to the community. A few months ago Mr. Staffer was compelled to retire from the active man ageement of the North Waterloo Farmer's Mutual Fire Ins., Co., owing to failing health. On the advice of his physicians be went to the Galt Hospital for a course of treatment for his stomach trouble, returning home again, however, some weeks later, in a weakened condition. Since that time he had been confined to his bed, gradually losing ground, in spite of skillful medical attention and the most careful nursing until the end at three o'clock on Friday afternoon when he slept peacefully away. The immediate cause of death was cancer of the stomach. His illness which extended ever some three months deceased bore with Christian fortitude and resignation.

Deceased who was the son of the late Joseph Stauffer, was born in the township of Waterloo on the old homestead two miles west of Waterloo, in the year 1838. Here he was brought up and received a public school education such as was furnished in those early days and which he supplemented with reading and the study of municipal and other public questions on his own account. In Nov. 1859 he was married to Esther Snider, daughter of John Snider, Bloomingdale, and the newly married couple made their home with their parents, Mr. Levi Stauffer operating the farm on shares with his father for three years at the end of which period he took it over himself. From that time until nine years ago he carried on the occupation of farming, having a model farm, and the reputation of being one of the most up-to date and successful farmers in the county. On his removal to Waterloo in 1900 he sold the farm to his son, Josiah, present deputy reeve of Waterloo township and assistant manager the North Waterloo Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company.

Ile was also a member of the Waterloo Board of Trade and for the past ten years has been a member of the executive of the North Waterloo Reform Association.

In religion the late Mr. Stauffer was a United Brethren (Liberal) in the counsels of which body he was prominent for many years. Since the union with the Congregationals some years ago, however, he has identified himself with the Waterloo Methodist church.

In politics he was a staunch Liberal. A good platform speaker, he was a prominent figure in many political battle.

In later years deceased devoted most of his time to the management the North Waterloo Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance of which he was the promoter and organizer in the year 1874. He was elected its first President and afterwards. Managing Director which position he filled with great success up to the time of his death. He was of a bright and jovial disposition with a well known relish for a good story of which he had an unlimited supply, and kept himself well informed in the questions of the day by constant reading.
