Notes:

DEATH OF MRS. FRANKLIN GOOD

It is with deep regret we chronicle the death of Mrs. Franklin Good, which took place at the residence, Albert St., at 3 p. m. Friday, at the age of 42 years, 10 months and 25 days. Deceased had been suffering from cancer for the past year and a half. In Apri1,1900, an operation was performed by Dr. Webb, which gave temporary relief. Later two cancers were removed with plasters and Mrs. Good was for several months quite well and able to do her work. Three months ago another one formed, but the best medical skill and tender nursing could not save her. She suffered severe pain, until Friday afternoon, when she passed peacefully away. Although a very great sufferer, she bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude and patience. Mrs. Good, nee Anna Mary Hahn, daughter of Mr. Hy. K. Hahn, of Heidelberg, was born in Williamsburg, in 1858 and was married to Mr. Good at Berlin, Sept. 11th, 1877. This union was blessed with 7 children, of whom three girls and one boy survive. In religion Mrs. Good was a consistent member of the Evangelical Association. The bereaved husband and family have the sympathy of their many friends in their sore bereavement. The funeral of Mrs. Franklin Good was held Monday afternoon and was attended by a large concourse of friends. After a short service at the house the cortege proceeded to the Evangelical church, where the Revs. G. D. Damm, pastor of the local congregation and M. L. Wing of Berlin, delivered appropriate and impressive discourses, the former in German and the latter in the English language. After the services the remains were taken to Mount Hope cemetery for interment.

THE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE

An interesting meeting took place the Saturday before last in the old log cabin in Waterloo Park.

This house was, of course, the first schoolhouse in this area and stood originally on the school-house square at the corner of King and Church Streets in Waterloo. It was built in 1820 and served its purpose until 1842, when it was torn down and a 1-storey stone house was constructed on the site. The dismantled log house was erected again in Greenbush and served as a residence for a long time for the coloured man, Mr. Carroll and his family. In the course of this year, the Waterloo Park Commissioners purchased the house, moved it to their park and furnished it again as it was when it was a school-house.

At this gathering, in addition to many other ladies and gentlemen, the following (male and female) former pupils attended, took their places on the benches, and were called to order by the 82-year-old teacher, Benjamin Burkholder, who held the scepter, or rather, the switch, from 1831 to 1842 in the old log-house: Joel Guth, 80 years old; Abraham Scherk, Blair, 79; Jakob Bricker, Waterloo, 77; Sarah Burkholder, nee Erb, Bridgeport, 75; Amos Weber, Berlin, 73; John C, Bricker, Hawksville, 71; Maria Erb, nee Quickfall, Norwich 69; David B. Eby, Waterloo, 69; Wendel Baumann, Woolwich, 68; Henry Stauffer, Erbsville, 67; Simon Beatty, Elmira, 67; Jakob Ratz, New Hamburg, 67; Israel Baumann, Berlin, 65; George Elbert, Moorefield, 63; George H. Baumann, Elmira, 63; John Devitt, Waterloo, 62; Richard Quickfall, Bridgeport, 62; Isaak Hoffmann, Waterloo, 61; Robert Barkwell, Peel, 60; Diana McMahon, nee Dekay, Berlin, 60; Thomas Quickfall, Floradale, 60; Benjamin Devitt, Waterloo, 60; Isaak Devitt, Floradale, 58; John Longmann, Peel, 57. In addition, to these, the teacher read the names of 25 pupils from the roll; they were, however, absent.

Mr. Burkholder gave an interesting talk about the history of the old school-house, and after him, Rev. J.A. MacLachlan, Rev. J. McNair, Mr. J.E. Baumann, M.P., and Mr. Jakob Ratz spoke about the old days which brought many things out of the past to mind again. School was, as a rule, only in session in winter and the costs were borne by the parents of the children. There were few subjects taught, namely: Reading, Writing and Sums. The children heard little about language, and geography; no child had more than 2 or 3 books. The predominant language was German. The pupils learned to read and write English, but didn't understand a word of it. Among the teachers in the old school-house from 1820-1842, with the exception of Mr. Burkholder, were the following whose names are still recognized: Jephtha DeKay, Joseph Guth, John Herringer, Peter Otto, John Dobbin, Elias Eby, Robert Barber, & Joseph Eby.

After those present, on hearing the various speeches felt themselves transported back to the past, the school was closed at four o'clock and the pupils were gathered together in front of the school and photographed as a group. On their return into the school, they found it had been transformed into a dining room with heavily-laden tables, which the old-timers thoroughly enjoyed. After everyone had chatted cordially for a while longer, the gathering broke up. The company will not meet again in complete numbers, nor in such a way.
