    Notes:

    Esteemed New Germany Woman 89 Years Young; 101 Great Grandchildren

    One of Waterloo County's older women residents possesses a very unique record and looks back over her life with a great deal of satisfaction. And well she may do so. For at the age of 89 years she heads family numbering in all 180. The woman is Mrs. Catherine Bruder of New Germany, widow of the late Mr. Joseph Bruder of that place. Her family include 10 children of her own, 63 grandchildren, 101 great grandchildren and 6 great great grandchildren. All in the short space of 89 years.

    Mrs. Bruder, who had been in good health until six years ago, now lives with her daughter. Mrs. Jacob Weiler in New Germany. For forty years she lived on the Bruder homestead near New Germany, moving into the village 37 years ago and keeping house in her own home. looking after the household duties, and caring for her own garden. Six years ago when her health began to fail she took up residence with her daughter, where she still lives.

    Mrs. Bruder was born in Darmstadt, Hessen, Germany, as Catherine Fate. That was in the year 1845. At the age of two she came with her parents to Canada, taking up their pioneer life on a homestead in the Queen's Bush near what is now Preston. At the age of 18 she was married to the late Joseph Bruder, who died some 37 years ago. The wedding was performed in St. Boniface R. C. Church in New Germany by the late Rev. Father Kowalski. She immediately took up her new life with her husband on what is now known as the Bruder homestead where she engaged in the thousand-and-one duties then performed by the pioneer housewife. Her duties included not only the household work, but helping in the fields with all the crops. In the evenings she spent her time hunched under a lamp of candle-light sewing, knitting, darning, crocheting and knitting garments for her steadily growing family. These works took all her time from sunrise until late into the night. She recalls that she attended school only one day in her life, hence she has not learned the arts of reading and writing, never-the-less she has made a great success of her life.

    Mrs. Bruder has been a faithful member of St. Boniface Church, attending each Sunday with the exception of the past four years when she has been too frail to leave her daughter's home. She still possesses full faculty of her mind, thinking quickly, as well as being able to see and hear perfectly. She spends her time glancing through photographs of her descendants which she has pasted in a large family album.

    Her ten children are Mrs. Gottfried Reinhart, Kitchener, Mr. Joseph Bruder, New Germany, Mrs. Chris. Reinhart, Kitchener, Mrs. Rudolph Reinhart, Kitchener, Mr. Henry Bruder, Morse, Sask., Mrs. Andrew Weiler, Waterloo, Mr. Clements Bruder, Kitchener, Mrs. Jacob Weiler, New Germany, Mr. Charles Bruder, Pilkington, and Mrs. Norman Reinhart, Kitchener.
