Notes:

Measuring Wool for City Knitters Is a Big Chore

Hundreds and hundreds of pounds of wool have passed through Miss Millicent Clemens' hands at the Kitchener Red Cross headquarters in past months and, as long as the war continues, there will be no slackening in her work.

It is Miss Clemens' job to keep Kitchener Red Cross knitters supplied with wool to knit various articles. This she does by weighing out exactly enough yarn for each pair of -stockings, sweaters, scarf or mitts. It is then wrapped, marked and shelved, ready to be handed out to knitters.

While this may sound like a monotonous task, it really isn't, according to the wool dispenser. From her quarters at the side of the workroom, Miss Clemens sees the fruits of her work grow. In a few days her parcels come back in finished articles. ready to be forwarded to headquarters.

Miss Clemens is an important cog in the knitting department as her work conserves considerable yarn that might ordinarily go to waste. Instead of handing out two skeins of yarn to make a pair of stockings when only one skein and a portion of the second is actually needed, Miss Clemens measures out the correct amount and thus guards against waste.

When Miss Clemens first started weighing out the wool the work went slowly, as it was necessary to weigh out each individual parcel. But soon she found out just how much each skein of the various types of wool weighed, and it was only necessary to weigh or measure the half or quarter skein allotments.

Every weekday morning finds Miss Clemens at her work. She has some 1,000 knitters to keep busy and that means that she must keep on her toes.

Honor Memory of Deceased Worker With Contribution

A $5 cash donation from two Kitchener people was received at Red Cross headquarters today "in loving memory of a steadfast and loyal friend and a devoted Red Cross worker."

The donation was a tribute to the untiring efforts of the late Miss Millicent Clemens, who was buried today. Miss Clemens was an ardent Red Cross worker and died almost a year to the day after volunteering her services.

It was Miss Clemens job to parcel, weigh and label all the wool that passed out of the Red Cross headquarters. She handled wool for thousands of sweaters and socks for members of the armed forces.

A card accompanying the donation pointed out that the doners were sure Miss Clemens would rather that they gave the money to the Red Cross than buy flowers.

Other donations reported at headquarters today amounted to $18.50. Three are anonymous donations for $10, $3 and 50 cents. The other is a $5 contribution from the Misses Elsie and Miranda Master.

Death of J.U. Clemens - The news was received here with deep regret that Mr. J. U. Clemens had pasted away early yesterday morning at his home, 15 Margaret Ave., Kitchener. Mr. Clemens had been in poor health for some time, but was able to continue his business here up to a week ago Saturday.

TO HIS REWARD.

The Brown City Banner gives the following obituary of the late Wendell Clemens, who was well known throughout Berlin and Waterloo County:

We are called upon this week to chronicle the death and burial of Wendell Clemens. who departed this life at 11 o'clock a. m. Saturday Aug 7h, at his home, one mile north and a half mile west of Deanville, Lapeer county, after a lingering illness covering about ten years with rheumatism, but was not seriously ill till about six weeks ago when heart trouble and dropsy set in, since which time he grew worse till as above stated the summons came, but not unexpected, and the good old man was ready to go to meet the reward of a Christian life, leaving the evidence to his dear companion and children of a glorious immortality beyond the grave. The funeral, which was very largely attended by sorrowing relatives, neighbors and friends, was held from the Mennonite church at this place Tuesday, Rev John McNally, of Blair, Ont, an old neighbor and bosom friend of the deceased officiating, assisted by Rev SS Rosenburger. Undertaker Jas Black, of Deanville, had charge of the corpse. The interment took place in the Brown City cemetery.

Wendell Clemens was born Dec 28, 1823, in the township of Dumfries, Waterloo County, Ont, and at death was 73 years, 7 months and 21 days old. He was united in marriage to Catherine Unger, Nov 25th, 1845, who still survives him. There was born to them twelve children, tens sons and two daughters, eleven of whom are living as follows: Mrs Oliver Burgey, of New Dundee, Ont.; Benjamin and Jes, of Berlin, Ont.; Nathaniel of Newstadt, Ont.; Moses of Burnside, Mich.; Wendell, of Berlin, Henry, of Waterloo, Ont.; James, of Burnside, Mich.; John, of Waterloo, Ont.; Allen, the only one still at home, and Mrs Louis Bluck, of Hespeler, Ont.

Deceased was a kind husband and a loving father. During his sickness he suffered a great deal but was very patient and towards the end longed to go home to be free from pain. The end was very peaceful and he passed away as one going into a peaceful sleep. He with his companion was converted to God 46 years ago, when they joined the Mennonite church and have ever since been faithful members.

The family wish to kindly thank the friends and neighbors for kindness and attention during their sad bereavement.

Hallman Meeting House

It is not known just when the first log meeting house of the Hallman congregation was built. However, on June 1, 1847 a one-acre plot of land, for a meeting house and burial ground, was deeded from Adam Unger to trustee, Jacob H. Detweiler. This land was east of Roseville on the northwest corner of Lot 31, Concession 11 of North Dumfries Township, and on the south side of the Blenheim or Roseville Road, which was built westerly from Galt. A stone cairn made up of old tombstones stands on this property today.

A new brick church, called Hallman Mennonite Church, was constructed in 1854 (Burkholder 1935: 104) or 1856 (Taylor 1970: 282) on land on the north side of the road, just west of the old meeting house. The congregation is reported to have disbanded in 1891. The property was sold soon after.

Death of Adam Unger, Esq. \endash One after another the old settlers of our county are passing away. On Saturday evening, August 17th, inst., there passed away this well-known and highly respected resident of Waterloo County at the residence of his son, Mr. Moses Unger, Blair. Mr. Unger, sr., had been ill for some months, suffering from the disease known as dropsy, and his death at the advanced age of eighty-eight and a half years was not unexpected by his large circle of friends.

Deceased was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, February 7th, 1801, emigrated to Canada in 1812, and in the year 1824 was married to Margaret Hallman.

After their marriage they settled on the farm now occupied by Mr. Noah Bricker, near Roseville, and here carved out for themselves a comfortable home.

In the year 1862 Mr. Unger retired from the farm, moved about a mile near Galt, where he resided a few years, after which he removed to Roseville until the death of Mrs. Unger in the year 1884, when he came to spend the evening of his life with his son, Mr. Moses Unger, at Blair.

Deceased was much respected by all with whom he became acquainted, being of a retiring disposition and a consistent member of the Mennonite Church.

The funeral on Tuesday was largely attended by people who came from far and near to pay the last tribute of respect to their old and esteemed friend.

His family consisted of seven children, of whom six are yet living, viz.: - Mr. John Unger, Waterloo; Mr. Benjamin Unger, Berlin; Mr. Moses Unger, Blair; Mrs. Wendell Clemens, Michigan; Mrs. Martin Grimm, near Milverton, and Mrs. Jacob Bricker, near Roseville. A worthy life ended full of years and enjoying the love of his relatives and esteem of his friends.

A SENSATIONAL SHOOTING MATCH.

An old familiar character in the neighborhood was the late Adam Unger, whom Providence evidently never intended should die an unnatural death. It is said by old citizens that he would frequently be seen walking barefooted through the hot ashes of the clearing apparently as unconcerned as if he were walking upon Brussels carpet. One day Adam bad a miraculously close call from lightning. On this occasion he and his hired man were logging when a thunder shower came up and they sought shelter between two logs. A flash of the electric current instantly killed the hired man, but Mr. Unger was unharmed. The hired man very profane person, and on was a very occasions previous to this in fits of anger would invoke the Almighty to strike him dead. Providence moves in a mysterious way, indeed, and the fact that Unger escaped unharmed leads one, not even superstitiously inclined, to believe that it was an act of Him who controls the elements to satisfy a wish of one of his creatures. The sad occurrence created quite a sensational morsel of news all over the country.

At another time Providence seems to have interfered in behalf of Unger. One day many years ago a shooting match was in progress at the old tavern now occupied by Mr. Knechtel, the weaver, and the contestants were shooting at a target down the road in the direction of Mr. John Perrin's lane. Unger and his wife drove by in sleigh and when they had reached a hundred yards or so distant from the shooters he felt a sudden sting in one of his heels. On examination when he arrived home revealed a wound which plainly told that the heel had received a rifle bullet, the result of careless marksmanship. All efforts to extract the bullet proved useless, and for many years prior to his death he was to a certain extent troubled by the leaden messenger which he carried with him to his grave.
