1908 - Edward A. Rieder - 1966

Edward A. Rieder, chairman of the board of directors of the Mutual Life Assurance Company of Canada, passed away May 23, 1966, following a lengthy illness. The fortitude with which he faced the ordeal of his illness and the courageous way in which he continued to devote himself to his company's affairs as long as he was able to do so have commanded the unreserved admiration of all who knew him.

Mr. Rieder was, by nature, reserved. He did not covet honors for himself, and he shunned the spotlight of publicity. However, imbued with a tremendous sense of responsibility, he brought to the offices which he held a wealth of dignity and efficiency. His judgements and decisions were always based on high principles. His quiet friendliness, his sincerity, his keen sense of humor, and his optimistic outlook will be greatly missed.

He was born in Kitchener, Ontario, on October, 6, 1908, a son of Margaret M. and the late Talmon H. Rieder. He attended Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate and graduated from the University of Toronto in 1931 with the degree of Bachelor of Commerce. He joined the actuarial department of the Mutual Life of Canada in 1931, and his entire business career of nearly thirty-five years was with this company.

He became a Fellow of the Actuarial Society of America in 1937. He was appointed assistant actuary of the Mutual Life in 1938, associate actuary in 1945, actuary in 1948, assistant general manager and actuary in 1954, and vice-president and general manager in 1958. In February, 1959, he was elected executive vice-president, and in May of that year he was elected president, which office he held until he was elected chairman of the board in 1964.
Mr. Rieder was a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries. He was also a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries and a past president of its predecessor organization, the Canadian Association of Actuaries. He was a past president of the Canadian Life Insurance Association and served with distinction in this and other capacities for the Association.

He is survived by his mother; his wife, formerly Jean Rudell; a son, Thomas; three daughter, Sally, Mardi, and Janet; a brother and a sister - to whom our sympathy is extended.

Notes:

Death of a Pioneer Furniture Maker

One of the oldest furniture manufacturers in Canada, and a pioneer in the industry in Berlin, died in that city on April 13th, in the person of John S. Anthes, president of the Anthes Furniture Co. Deceased was born in Wilmot Township, Waterloo County, Ontario, November 8th, 1844, and was therefore in his 71st year. He received his education in the county schools, and later taught school for several years. In 1865, he went to Berlin, and was employed by the late Louis Breithaupt, founder of the leather and tanning business now carried on by the Breithaupt Leather Company Ltd. Mr. Anthes was employed as accountant and salesman for a number of years and later entered the furniture business being associated with some of the pioneer furiture manufacturers of Berlin, such as the late John Aldous and William Simpson. In 1884, he purchased the Berlin Novelty Works and carried on business in his own name for a number of years in the manufacture of children's carriages and patent slat chairs. In 1888, his factory was destroyed by fire, but was immediately rebuilt on a much larger scale. In this factory, Mr. Anthes began making the high grade furniture which has made his name known throughout Canada in the furniture trade. In 1901 he went into the amalgamation of furniture factories under the name of Canada Furniture Manufacturers Ltd., in which company he was a director and manager of the local factories for a number of years. In 1906, Mr. Anthes resigned as director of the Canada Furniture Manufacturers Ltd. and built the present large, modern factory at Berlin in partnership with J. C. Breithaupt, under the name of The Anthes Furniture Co., the product of this factory being exclusively high grade furniture. The late Mr. Anthes always took a keen interest in municipal affairs and served in council and on public boards for many years. He was known as a keen business man and successful manufacturer and his many friends throughout the country will sincerely mourn his departure. Mr. Anthes was married in 1867 to Miss L. Catherine Herlan who with one son J. I. Frank Anthes, and four daughters, Mrs. J. C. Breithaupt, Mrs. A. L. Breithaupt, Mrs. T. H. Reider [sic] and Mrs. H. M. Cook, and twenty grandchildren survive. A sister, Mrs. G. Strasser, of Sebringville, also survives. The late H. W. Anthes, who died recently in Toronto, was a brother. The funeral was held from his late residence thence to Zion Evangelical Church for service. The remains were interred in Mount Hope Cemetery.

King Street , North Side

Foundry Street (now Ontario Street).

Jacob and John Hoffman, brothers, who came from Pennsylvania, erected a furniture factory on the corner about 1840. It was a two story frame building extending along King St., had 25 to 30 employees and a 15 h.p. engine brought from Buffalo.

Eby's history gives John Hoffman as having come from Pennsylvania in 1825; Jacob, almost two years older, seems to have come before. They both worked at carpentry, etc., for a number of years before starting the factory in which enterprise they were assisted by Benjamin Eby. On the ridge of the factory roof there was a belfry with the only larger bell in Berlin. This bell served not only the factory but the village as well, pinging at 7 in the morning, at 12, at 1 and at 6 o'clock in the evening. It was used also as a fire bell and was tolled for funerals.

By some prank or spite the bell was stolen in 1850 before there was a night watchman at the factory, and disappeared for two or three years. Eventually it was found in a well at the comer of Duke and College Streets, put back in place on the Hoffman factory and later was taken to a belfry on the Simpson factory spoken of, where it was used until this factory was discontinued. It was then taken to the pavilion in Victoria Park and was melted down when the pavilion was destroyed by fire.

Behind the Hoffman factory there was a pond, about three feet deep, fed by a spring, the water being used for the factory boiler, etc. About 1860 a frame building, used by the firm for a warehouse, covered the site of the spring. Further back there was a saw mill, also a planing mill, the first of its kind in Berlin. A two story frame building extending along Foundry Street was later added to the factory and used as a turning shop. At the rear of this building was the factory boiler house.

Next to the factory on King Street there was a three story brick building. The ground floor was used as a store, called the Berlin Warehouse. Jacob Hoffman, who by this time was alone in the business, John having gone to Waterloo, announced himself as dealer in dry goods, groceries, hardware, china, glassware, crockery, and paint and oils and manufacturer of all kinds of furniture, also sash doors, etc., selling low for cash. An overhead passage way on a bridge connected the second stories of the factory and brick building. Over the store was the paint shop and in the rear a warehouse. Hoffman's store was later occupied by William Schmidt, son of Rev. Wm. Schmidt, an early minister of the Evangelical Church. Schmidt had a dry goods store only, known as the Golden Lion store because of a large gilt lion over the entrance. Isaac Hoffman, son of Jacob, carried on the factory and store for several years; later John S. Anthes was in possession while Hoffman went to Waterloo and continued the furniture business there with Adam Klippert and Martin Wegenast as partners. Jacob and John Hoffman erected a number of houses in Berlin.

Jacob Hoffman was very stout, weighing over 300 pounds. He was a member of the Evangelical Church. For a time he served on the village council. He resided on Foundry Street in the rear of the Canadian Block in a square, hip roof, two story, frame house, until it was destroyed by fire, when he moved to the west side of Foundry Street, south, where now is the Robe & Clothing Co. building. Here he had a one and one-half story frame house with a large two story addition at the rear where were lodged apprentices and other factory employees. There was a small portico over the front door and a porch extending along the northerly side of the house.

Next to the Hoffman warehouse there was a saloon and restaurant occupied by a Mr. Unger. He served, among other things, oysters which came in small wooden, 1-gal. kegs. Adjoining Hoffman's store there was the tailor shop of H. J. Nahrgang, later occupied by Henry Glebe, an early band master; next a store differently occupied at various times and next the shoe store of Wm. Niehaus. A three story brick building occupied by Wm. Young as a grocery. Mr. Young eventually went to the Canadian Block and the store was used for various purposes, among them auction sales in the evening. Here there was sold the first white crockery offered in Berlin. Later the building was occupied by the Berliner Journal.

A one and one-half story frame building with gable toward King St. and a veranda, occupied by Mr. Fuchs, a tailor and shoemaker, whose wife assisted her husband as expert in repairing clocks. The family lived in the building. About 1865 the frame building was moved to the rear and Fuchs' block erected on the street. The ground floor had three stores, the west one occupied by Mr. Fuchs, the middle by John Kayser, dry goods merchant, and the third one by Tindall Simpson and Sons, shoemakers and tailors. The first building on part of the Fuchs' block site was a rough frame structure used by one Susand, colored, who was the first barber in Berlin.

A two story brick building with gable facing King Street, occupied by Christian Garman, harness maker, who later moved to New Hamburg and started a tannery. This building was later occupied by Levi Gaukel, son of Frederick Gaukel, after his father's death. He had a small hotel known as The Red Lion. In 1860 Urban Prinzer succeeded Gaukel and continued the hotel for a short time.

A two and one-half story brick building with gable facing King St. was occupied by Levi Gaukel, as a butcher shop after he gave up the hotel next door. Jacob Gaukel was associated with Levi. Later George Debus occupied this shop.

A building with gable and porch facing King Street, later occupied by George DeBus as a barber shop.

On the corner of King and Queen Streets there was first a driving shed for the Gaukel hotel opposite, until the Bowman block was erected in 1860. This was a three story brick building lengthwise with King Street. Joseph Bowman the noted violinist occupied the third floor of this building. Half of the ground floor of the building was occupied by Henry B. Bowman with a partner Heins as general dry goods store. This was on the corner. The other half was a brick store occupied by Cole and Graf, druggists, and later by Wm. Bowman in the same business. On the site of the Bowman block is the handsome Bank building built by the Merchants Bank and now occupied by the Bank of Montreal.
