    JACOB LASCHINGER.

    The subject of this sketch it may be said has grown up with the industrial interests of Hamburg. He was born here in 1850 and for the past eighteen years has successfully carried on a carriage and wagon manufacturing establishment and blacksmith shop His reputation for turning out first-class honest work is well known throughout Wilmot and adjoining townships. Mr. Laschinger is decidedly industrious, being a man who does not have many idle hours, as he can always be found busy early and late in either the paint shop, woodwork department or the blacksmith shop. In either department he is at home. There are none of Hamburg's citizens more popular, both in their personal and business relations. He has served three years in the village council where he also achieved popularity as an economical and careful municipal legislator. He is at present a valuable member of the Mechanic's Institute, and probably takes as deep an interest in its prosperity as does any other citizen in the community. Upon the death of the late postmaster, it devolved upon the government to appoint a successor to the deceased. Of course it was supposed that a true Grit would receive, the appointment; the supposition was not erroneous. There were a number of aspirants, but Mr. Laschinger seemed to be the favorite and was vigorously urged by his friends to push his case though there was much spirited opposition by some who merely opposed the appointment on the ground that it would be removed from its location opposite the Imperial Hotel. Personally they were not opposed to Mr. Laschinger. The appointment and removal was opposed mainly by the Tories, because if the change was not made a Conservative would still hold the office. They surely did not expect that after the removal by death of the former incumbent who was a staunch Conservative and held the office for many years, that the Reform government could appoint his successor from the ranks of the enemy. It is foolish to think that modern politics run that way. Petitions and counter petitions were in the wind; but in the meantime Mr. Laschinger sawed wood and said little. The result was he received his commission as post master of New Hamburg on July 19th last, and it was only a day prior to the removal, nearly four weeks afterwards that those opposed to the change discovered they had been cleverly outflanked and that the appointment had been made. Mr. Laschinger is a staunch Reformer, and a business man of considerable ability and push and a more fitting incumbent for this responsible office could not have been found in the community. The room occupied by the new postmaster is a few doors south of the Commercial Hotel in the handsome new building recently erected by Mr. Jacob Becker. The room in which the post office is located is admirably adapted for the purpose, having ample room. It is a gem of a post office, and for fixtures, boxes and the partition dividing that public from the official department, it is undoubtedly the neatest and most elegantly equipped post office between here and Toronto. The partition is made from quartered oak, highly polished and exquisitely carved, the panels of which are beautiful gribble glass. In front are the delivery and money order windows, so designated by handsome lettering above each in stained glass. There are 175 lock-boxes highly finished in brass, nickel and glass. The celebrated Yale lock is used. In addition to this there are all the other necessary boxes well made and nicely finished. The whole was made by the Yale and Towne Manufacturing Company of New York City, and sent over in sections from their branch manufactory, in Stamford, Conn. Those who call in will agree with me in saying that Hamburg has the finest post office for a town of its size in the Province. They will find an accommodating postmaster and gentleman in every way competent to hold the position. Mr. Laschinger purchased the fixtures from the above company through their representatives, Seymour & Co., Temple Building, Montreal.

    Notes:

    Daniel Ritz Called By Death

    Was Former Publisher of This Paper and Collector of Customs

    It is our sad duty this week to chronicle the death of Mr. Daniel Ritz, former publisher of this paper, who passed to his eternal rest shortly after three o'clock last Friday morning. He had been in failing health for the past three months, but was only confined to bed for one week and passed peacefully away at the age of 80 years, 8 months and 9 days.

    The late Mr. Ritz was one of the prominent business men of the village for many years, and gave much of his time in promoting projects pertaining to the general welfare of the town. He was a member of the New Hamburg School Board for over twenty years and was keenly interested in educational matters.
    In his business career he conducted the New Hamburg Independent and the Canadisches Valksblatt since 1885 until he received the appointment of Collector of Customs when this outport was opened in town in 1912. He retired from the service in 1921, and had since lived retired.

    In politics the deceased was an able exponent of the Conservative cause and until his appointment as collector of customs served his party with unswerving fidelity. He was likewise interested in fraternal matters, being a member of the Masonic Order, Odd Fellows and the Knights of the Maccabees. He was widely known and through his generous nature he won for himself a large circle of friends.
    The late Mr. Ritz was born on July 12th, 1849, in Bavaria, Germany, and came to Canada with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Ritz, in the year 1855, when they settled in New Hamburg. He had since been a resident of this town. In 1871 the deceased was married to Christina Stuhlfaut, who predeceased him three years ago. One daughter, Tillie, and one son, Otto, also predeceased him. There are left to mourn his death four sons and four daughters, namely: Walter and Erwin of Galt; Daniel E. and Lorne of this town; Mrs. Louise Kischel, Kitchener; Mrs. Albert Gentz of Elmira; Mrs. Ed. Huehn of Heidelberg; and Mrs. Wm. L. P. Seyler of this town.

    The funeral took place on Monday afternoon from his late residence to the family plot in Riverside Cemetery. Rev. H. R. Mosig, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, conducted the services at the house. The last rites of the Masonic order were rendered to the deceased at the grave. The pall bearers were brethren of Nith Lodge I.O.O.F., namely, L. Hostetler, F. L. Peine, Ed. Pfaff, E. G. Hammer, G. H. Meyers and O. H. Becker.

    Many beautiful floral tributes were sent by relatives and sympathizing friend, namely: Mr. and Mrs. George B. McKay, Toronto, Mr. and Mrs. P.T. Wiggins, Galt; Galt Postmen; Jacob Ritz family; Mr. and Mrs. Archie Heiman, Kitchener; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Blankstein, Kitchener; Mrs. A. S. Claughton, Port Perry; Mrs. Jack Farr, Toronto; Mrs. Betzner and Miss Sophia Betzner; Dickie and Ernst Ritz; Bobby and Nancy Hamilton, Hamilton; Mr. Fred Gruhn, Kitchener; Grandchildren; Masonic Lodge, New Hamburg; Odd Fellows Lodge, New Hamburg; Chr. Rau family; Chas. Ritz family; Mrs. Emma Schaefer, Alfred Ruthig, New Hamburg, Mrs. Jos. Heiman, Kitchener; Mrs. Bannister, Brantford; M. Schwartzentruber, New Hamburg; and Mr. and Mrs. David Hamilton, of Hamilton.

    The family wish to express their heartfelt thanks to the neighbours and friends for their numerous expressions of sympathy and for the many acts of kindness bestowed upon them in rendering assistance in the hour of their bereavement.

    Among the relatives and friends present at the funeral from out-of-town were Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Franke, Mrs. L. Kischell, H. Grube, Mr. and Mrs. C. Blankstein, Mr. and Mrs. R. Ritz, Mrs. E.
