AN OLD RESIDENT GONE.

Christopher Huether Passes Over to Join the Majority After a Few Months Illness.

Early on Tuesday morning Christopher Huether, for many years a familiar figure on our streets, passed away, after suffering for some months of a dropsical affection, at the age of 67 years and 10 days. His name is inseparably connected with the fine substantial brick structure on King St., known as the Huether House. Four years ago his son, Mr. C. N. Huether, assumed full control of the Brewery and Mr. Huether, sen., retired. About four months ago he undertook the management of the Agency at Penetang for his son where he remained until four weeks ago when he was brought home ill. The funeral will take place from the residence of his son, Mr. O. N. Huether, King St. at 1.30 p. m., Friday, to St. John's Lutheran Church, for service thence to Mount Hope cemetery for interment. The late Mr. Huether emigrated from Germany forty-four years ago. After remaining in Albany, N. Y., two years he came to Waterloo where he resided up to his death. About forty years ago he entered in partnership in the brewing business but soon after bought out his partner's interest and carried on the business himself until about four years ago.

Mr. Huether served a number of terms as town councillor. He was a life long member of the Lutheran church and served for many years on the trustee board. He was twice married. His first wife nee Kleeberger predeceased him twelve years. Nine children-two sons and seven daughters were born of this marriage, viz: Christian N. and Jacob Huether; Mrs. Onas. H. Froehlich, Mrs. Thos. Sherman, Mrs. C. Treusch, Mrs. Hy.Shaefer. Three daughters predeceased him, Annie, Sophia and Mrs. Kellar. In 1888 he was married to Mrs. Norman Snyder who survives him.
