Notes:

I n 1860 Messrs. Gideon Ochs, George Guenther and John Sachs entered into partnership in the Carpenter business under style: Gideon Ochs & Co., which partnership subsisted until 1864 when Mr. Guenther withdrew to go with Fred. Guggisburg. For a time the remaining two partners continued. Both partnerships owned property in Hespeler.

From 1867 until 1874 Gideon Ochs appears personally as a carpenter, from 1870 on, as resident. Because he lived in the Township and owned no property in Hespeler Mr. John Sachs does not appear on our assessment rolls subsequent to 1864 when evidently the Partnership ceased. Mr. John Sachs apparently worked with Mr. Ochs or with his brother, Henry Sachs (or both) until about 1874 when he went as Boss Carpenter, Millwright and General Maintenance man for J. Schofield & Co. where he remained until his death in 1887.

When he went to work at the Lower Mill, Mr. Sachs took along as Millwright, Gideon Ochs, who left around 1876 and moved to the farm west of the Guelph Road just above the Block Line. John Wehner and Fred. Fiedler worked for John Sachs at the Lower Mill and during the time there of Mr. John Sachs, many of the mill houses were built.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT HESPELER.

Fall of a Scaffold at the Star Mills.

Fifteen Men Hurt - One Dead and Others Fatally Injured.

(From our Correspondent.)
This (Wednesday) forenoon about 9:30 o'clock, without a moment's warning the cross beams of timber,on the second story of the rear part of Forbes & Co.'s St Woollen Mills, broke, precipitating about twenty men to the ground, & distance of some twenty-five feet. All the men were more or less injured. The following is a list of the names of those who, at the time of sending away this news, are in critical condition: - Mr. John Sachs, boss mechanic, Mr. Conwarf, sr., Edward Johnston, Fred. Sohonfeldt, John Wehner and David Guenther. Mr. Sachs it is feared will not recover from the injuries received.

Drs. Mcintyre and Lockhart are in close attendance on the patients who are most seriously injured.

It is needless to add all was done that was possible to do to relieve the injured men, In a few minutes hundreds of willing hands were engaged removing the debris from above the men, who fell with the timbers and lay buried beneath the same, and as one by one were extricated from their pinned position received kind attention in the way of washing the blood from their wounds and placed in some adjoining house or taken to their respective homes. None were allowed to be removed until examined by the doctors.

It is the worst catastrophe that has occurred here in many years.

LATER, 11:10 A.M.- Since sending previous word Mr. John Sachs has died, others are not expected to get over their injuries.

In addition to the society all the employees of the Star Mills, male and and female, marched, also many of the villagers as well as a large number from a distance. There were sixty-four single carriages and twenty three double carriages in the line of procession. Among the number was the carriage of the firm, for whom the deceased had worked for so many years, the occupants thereof being Mr. Robert Forbes and son George. The procession was twenty minutes passing a given point. Rev. Mr. Haigh officiated at the house previous to conveying the remains of the deceased there from, and the Rev. pastor of the Lutheran church conducted the services at the grave.

Notes:

Death of Mr. Denman - the death occurred early Tuesday morning of a well-known and highly respected resident of Ayr, in the person of Mr. Job Denman, who had attained the ripe age of nearly 79 years. Mr. Denman, who had been ill for about a week with la grippe and complications, was janitor of the Public school and was in harness on the Tuesday previous to his death. He was an Englishman by birth but had spent all his life from early boyhood in Canada, and resided for some years before coming to Ayr in Ingersoll and Woodstock. He was twice married, his first wife being Christena Mason of Woodstock to whom he was united 56 years ago, and who predeceased her husband by 27 years. Several years later Mr. Denman again entered the matrimonial state, joining hand and heart with Christena Campbell, formerly of Edinburgh, Scotland, who survives. By the first marriage there was a large family of whom two sons and four daughters, survive. They are: John and Charles of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. John Cutherbertson and Mrs. E. Willfong of Toronto; Mrs. Albert Sachs of Berlin, and Mrs. Nicholas Adams of Santa Rosa, California. All except Mrs. Adams were home during part of their father's illness. The deceased was a member of Knox church and of the I.O.O.F. The funeral, which takes place today, will be conducted by his pastor, Rev. John Thomson and will be in charge of the Oddfellows, the deceased being one of the oldest members in Ontario, joining the order in Ingersoll in or about the year 1871. The pallbearers will be members of the I.O.O.F.

Notes:

Jacob Roos, an Alsatian, worked at his trade of Cooper in a shop John Erb operated in connection with his grist mill at Preston from the early thirties until 1845 when he came to New Hope and opened a cooper shop at the extreme west end of the Hamlet, on the south side of the front road to Galt, in a building which many will remember as the "Log Cabin".

Here Mr. Roos made both types of barrels, the flour barrels for some of the mills around, and tight barrels for some of the numerous distilleries then to be found hereabouts.

Richard Gowling worked for him making loose barrels from 1866 till 1887 and his son, Nelson, worked with him in 1866 and 1867 and another son, Richard Gowling Jr., in 1867.

Mr. Roos taught the coopering to Conrad Sachs, whose brother, John, was married to a daughter of Mr. Roos. My first record of Conrad is July 19th, 1854, the last, 1862, when he appears to have gone to Buffalo where some of his descendents still reside. As my record comes from Hespeler's books it looks as if Conrad first learned the trade with Mr. Roos and then went to work in Hespeler's Cooperage.

Mr. Roos Sr. taught both trades to his son, Jacob Roos, who appears to have taken over the shop about 1871 and he continued to operate it until he died in 1907.

He made chiefly flour barrels which he delivered with a one-horse waggon fitted with a rack which held 65 barrels. Old timers will remember seeing these loads of barrels passing along Queen Street on the way to Kribs' Mill.

Another son, Edward Roos, learned Coopering with his father and apparently upon completion of his apprenticeship which must have included the tight barrel making he went in 1871 (when young Jake took over the shop) to work for Mr. Hespeler where he remained till 1876. Mr. Ed. Sachs, born 1868, nephew of Edward Roos, told me his Uncle Ed. was in charge of the shop for Hespeler.

Mr. Hespeler's Cooper Shop was in the stone building, which with additions made subsequently, is now The Hydro-Electric Power Station.
