    Mr. Casper Ziegler
    A prominent figure in the life of Elmira was removed Saturday afternoon when Casper Ziegler passed away in his 85th year. Seven years ago he suffered a stroke, and had been confined to his bed for the past three years.

    The late Mr. Ziegler was born December 30, 1843 in Bavaria. He came with his parents to Canada in 1846 and settled in Waterloo County. On November 3, 1870, he married Elisabeth Klein, of Sebringville. They moved to Salem where he carried on a harness business for 17 years. In 1886 they settled in Elmira where he continued the harness business for several years, and later took an interest in the Elmira Advertiser. He retired in 1903.

    He is survived by his widow and three children, Mrs. H. Battenberg and Miss E. Ziegler and Mrs. C. F. Bruer, Ottawa. Twelve grandchildren and four great-grandchildren also survive.

    The funeral was held from his late residence Tuesday afternoon to St. Paul's Lutheran Church. Mr. Going conducted the service. Interment took place in the Elmira cemetery, pallbearers being Messrs. Oscar Ruppel, Fred Seigner, George Reuter, George Klinck, C. Schierholtz and H. Geisel.

    ELMIRA

    SHOE, FELT AND WOOLEN WORKS


    Among the manufacturing industries of Elmira the above concern must be reckoned one of the most important, as it gives employment to the largest number of wage-earners and many of them expert and skilled mechanics. It is a part of the old Winger & Weaver Woolen factory. The latter, the first indusdry of note in this town, was established in 1856, by Peter Winger and Samuel Weaver who were prominent among the early settlers in this vicinity. They commenced operations in 1856 and continued to run it until 1873, when Mr. Henry Winger, son of the well known member of the firm, took charge and operated it until 1883, and after that in company with his brother, J. B. Winger, until 1895, at which time they added the felt manufactory. It was then operated by J. B. Winger and Amasa Winger for short one year, when in the spring of 1896, a joint stock company was formed and the plant improved and placed on a more extensive scale. The company is made up of some of the leading and most responsible citzens of the town, viz: Henry Winger, J. B. Winger, Amasa Winger, J. P. Lackhardt, Weber & Erb, M. Weichel, J. S. Weichel, Daniel Ratz, Casper Ziegler, David Snider, Chas. Klinck and son George, Henry Mogk and Isaac Hilborn. Board of Directors: A. H Erb, President; Henry Winger, Daniel Ratz, Casper Ziegler and J. P. Luckhardt, John Peel, Treasurer and general manager.

    They manufacture both leather and felt goods, and the class of work turned out is equal in style, workmanship, finish and material to that of any other establishment of the kind in Ontario. There is a steady demand for about all the company can manufacture with their present facilities, most of their goods going to the Northwest and the Maritime Provinces. From twenty-five to thirty hands are employed. The factory is equipped with the latest and best improved machinery, and a walk through the building when all hands are at work will convince any person that experienced workmen are employed and that great care is exercised in putting the material together in a way that must produce a popular and durable article. The very latest styles of footwear are turned out. The company still continues the woolen factory and manufactures fine tweeds, flannels blankets and other woolen goods, and are always prepared for custom work.

    THE FIRST NEWSPAPER

    The first paper published in Elmira, the Elmira Anzieger, was established in 1869 by the Delion Bros., Fred and William. They continued for thirteen years when it was purchased by Mr. George Beaver, some time in 1883 Two years later it became the property of Charles Delion who published it until 1895 when Messrs. Henry Delion and Casper Ziegler purchased the plant. The latter firm then established the Elmira Advertiser which has been a success from the beginning. Mr. Chas. Delion is editor and manager. They are getting out a clean, spicy paper, and therefore deserve the hearty support of the people of this section.
