    Notes:

    Another of our old pioneers was called away last week in the death of Mr. Joseph Zehr, who died last Tuesday evening, July 26th, at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Chris. Wagler, at the ripe old age of 87 years, 6 months and 25 days, after a short illness. The funeral was held on Friday forenoon and was largely attended. Many came from far and near to pay their-last tribute of respect to the departed. Bishop Daniel H. Steinmann conducted the service at the house, after which the remains were taken to the cemetery at the Amish-Mennonite meeting house west of Baden, and laid in their last resting place A large concourse of people followed the remains to the grave. After the interment, services were conducted in the meeting-house by Bishop Jacob Bender, assisted by several others. Joseph Zehr was born in Lorraine, Germany, Dec. 31st, 1817, and came to Canada with his parents. They resided in Woolwich Township for a few years, then moved to Wilmot, where Mr. Zehr resided till his death. His wife to whom he was married in 1846, died in 1900. Thus they had lived together for over half a century. Three sons and three daughters survive to mourn the loss of their father. The pioneers who first settled here when Wilmot was about all bush yet, are nearly all gone to join the great majority. We extend our sincere sympathy to all the bereaved ones.

    Death of Mrs. Leis

    The death of Mrs. Leis, widow of the late Joseph Leis, occurred at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Chr. J. Lichty, just east of Crosshill, on Thursday last, aged 76 years and four months. Deceased was one of the very earliest of residents of this section, coming here with her father, Mr. Kennel, who settled on the eastern border of Wellesley when she was a mere child. Since that time she has always lived here, and throughout her long and useful life she retained the highest respect of all. Besides a large number of descendants and relatives, Mrs. Leis leaves a family of thirteen children: Noah, John, Magdelene (Mrs. P. Jantzi), Chris., Jos., David, Daniel, Catherine (Mrs. C. J. Lichty), Menno, Barbara (Mrs. C. Gingerich), Jacob, Phronica (Mrs. N. Roth), and Solomon. These children are all living and settled in this neighborhood, and all of them attended the large funeral which occurred on Sunday last at the Mennonite Church, 3rd line.
