Notes:

ARNOTT, WILLIAM JOSHUA was born in Simcoe County in 1867, attended public school, and without a grammar school education passed his matriculation examination, he began to teach at the age of seventeen, at Tiverton, and later at Magnetawan. In the summers he taught in Manitoba's rural schools. He entered Trinity College and graduated with honours in 1893.

In November of that year he took over the practice of Dr. J. A. McArthur, who was moving to Ohio. A few years later he located at the corner of Weber and Ontario streets. This property was subsequently purchased by Dr. H. M. Lackner and at present is the site of dental offices.

In 1902 he purchased the property on the west side of Frederick Street which had belonged to Dr. Mylius, and converted it into an Institute for the treatment of speech disabilities. This would appear to have been a successful venture as it was continued after his death.

He died suddenly on December 12, 1905 when he was just 44 years of age. As the newspapers stated the cause of death was cerebro-spinal meningitis, his medical attendants found it necessary to report that autopsy findings eliminated the possibility of infectious disease. Blame was attributed to an unspecified middle ear condition.

During the twelve years of his practice he had established himself as a prominent member of the profession, whose death was regarded as a considerable loss. Among his other activities he had been a member of the school board, and at the time of his death was President of the Berlin Musical Society. He was survived by his wife, the former Helen Krug, of Tavistock, and two sons.

Notes:

MR. FRED KRUG, SR.

The longest established and the store doing perhaps the largest business in Tavistock or for that matter in the county, is the mercantile business of Mr. Fred Krug, whose store is a veritable ark where the customers wants from a pin to an anchor can be satisfied. In boyhood days Mr. Krug endured many of the hardships of pioneer life. Born in Gartaw, Province of Hanover, Germany in 1843, the family settling in Berlin, Ont. His first experience in business was in the newspaper line. After attending the public schools for a few years he entered the office of the "Bauernfreund" in Waterloo, where he went through the old fashioned apprenticeship, under the late Jacob Teuscher. His experiences were such that few of our present journalists would care to face. It was part of his duties to deliver the papers which he did on horse-back. In winter or in summer, on not the best of roads and often times through storm and snow banks he found his way from one farm house to another with the papers. These were some of the experiences that laid the ground work of a splendid physique and the prompt business methods which have made him so successful. In January 1860 Mr. Krug left the printing office in Waterloo and removed to Tavistock - then called Inkerman - to accept a position as clerk in the log store conducted by the late Jacob Wagner. In 1870 he commenced business for himself, and in 1872 he formed a partnership with Mr. Adam Falk. The business was conducted under this partnership until 1884 when Mr. Krug took over the entire business and has since conducted it alone. The busines has grown steadily and rapidly and is to-day considered one of the largest general mercantile business in Western Ontario, employing about twenty hands; the most active worker being Mr. Krug himself. The store is an up-to-date departmental one. Every branch of merchandise is kept in the best assortment, and each department is managed as if it was a seperate business. Mr. Krug is one of the oldest importers in Western Ontario always making it a strict rule to pay cash, saving large cash discounts, in which, of course, his customers share. He is a large buyer and in sugar alone buys from one to three car-load lots; and also deals largely in Rio coffee, buying it green in the car-lots directs from the grower at Rio de Janiero. He was appointed Post Master in 1885. He built a handsome block which is occupied by the Western Bank of Canada and the post office, that would do credit to a much larger place. Mr. Krug has always taken a keen interest in municipal affairs and has assisted in all advancements of Tavistock.

Mr. John Krug is one of the active partners in the business and is agent for the Canadian Express Co. whose Tavistock office is located in the Krug block. He is a young man who has a promising future and his strict attention to business has enhanced his reputation in the community, and he is one of the most popular residents of Tavistock.

Mr. Fred Krug jr. who acts as postmaster is another of Tavistock's popular young men. As a musician he has acquired more than a local reputation. He plays a number of different instruments, and his services are highly valued in musical circles.
