Kanmacher, Mrs. John Mumford, Mrs. C.C. Hahn, Miss Elizabeth, Miss Dorothy, Miss Lottie, Miss Clara, and Henry, Edward and William. His only surviving brother, Christian, resides at Galt. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon at 2: 30pm from the family residence, Queen Street, to Preston Cemetery.
