The Funeral Will he held from her late residence on Wednesday, September last, 1938, at 9.30 a, m., and proceed to the A. Mennonite Church, Third Line, for services. Burial in adjoining cemetery, Please omit flowers.

The bosom where I oft have lain,
And slept my infant hours away,
Will never beat for me again,
'Tit still in death! 'tie senseless clay.
How many were the silent prayers
My mother offered up for me,
How many were the bitter cares
She felt when none but God could see,
Well, she is gone, and now in heaven,
She sings his praise, who died for her,
And in her hand a harp is given,
And she's a heavenly worshiper.
And let me choose the path she chose,
And her I soon again may see.
Beyond this world of sin and woes
With Jesus in Eternity.

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.

Notes:

Mrs. Wilhelm

The funeral of Mrs. Wilhelm, widow of the late John Wilhelm, senior, occurred at the Miss. Lutheran cemetery here on Tuesday. The old lady was 75 years of age and was held in the very highest respect as a neighbor and a mother by all who knew her. She spent most of her married life in Wellesley village and all her family was raised here. For several years past she has been living with her children in Wiarton and other places, this winter living here with her daughter, Mrs. Keyes. Several weeks ago she went to Detroit to the home of another daughter, Mrs. Bolander, whose husband is quite ill. She was in her usual health until Saturday last when she complained of being very tired, when she lay down to rest and sleep, and the following day she passed quietly away while peacefully sleeping. Her son, Mr. John Wilhelm, and his son Charles, of Collingwood; Mr. Henry Correll and his son Arthur, of Wiarton; Mr. and Mrs. Keyes, of Brantford; Miss Bolander, and Mr. Henry Ziegler, of Waterloo, were among the relatives from a distance who followed the remains here for interment on Tuesday.
