402 "Two sisters, Florence and Salina Shantz, also saw entrepreneurial opportunities in Berlin. Florence's specialty was bonnet making, a difficult skill to master. Bonnets were not easily mass produced, and making them by hand provided Mennonite women with a cottage industry opportunity of they were adept. The sisters had first moved to Kitchener from a farm near Philipsburg after their parents died. While renting an apartment, they slowly built up their dressmakers' business. In 1937, they were able to build their own house at 11 Stirling Avenue North, and ran the business from there. Salina and Florence might be making bonnets one day, and fancy wedding dresses for non-Mennonites the next. Younger relatives describe the sisters' home: 'They kept an immaculate house. No time was wasted chatting on the telephone. The newspaper was not opened until the day's work was completed and the house set in order. In spite of this, the nieces and nephews loved to go totheir aunts' house. It gave them a warm feeling'."

He (Rev. F. W. Bindeman) rode from place to place on a white horse and often cantered over to Bridgeport. At Bridgeport there was a merchant named Tagge who had just been made a magistrate and who was puffed up. One afternoon, on seeing Mr. Bindemann riding in, he said to several customers at his store-door, "Stay, and we'll have some fun with the preacher." When the rider reached the store, Tagge droned, "How is it, Pastor, that you must have a grand white horse when our Saviour was content to ride about on a humble ass?" The response came forth, "We can't do that anymore, for all the asses have been made magistrates,"

410 "Weismiller: Mrs. Sophia Weismiller One more pioneer, in the person of Mrs. Sophia Weismiller, has passed to the Great Beyond, after reaching the ripe old age of almost eighty-four years. Her husband, John Weismiller having predeceased her some fifteen years ago. Mrs. Weismiller, nee Miss Sophia Holzshuh, settled with her parents in the County of Waterloo, Township of Wellesley, in the early Fifties when the country was practically all bush and the bears were roaming at large. She, being the eldest of six, necessarily had to help to bear the burden of the hardships encountered in pioneer life. In 1855 she was joined in Wedlock and settled in Wellesley village, where they resided continuously for fifty two years. To this happy union were born four daughters and two sons, of whom the following survive, namely: Mrs. J, Neibel of Detroit, Mich; Mrs, J. Lesperance of Windsor, Ont; Mrs. J. Barnes of Assiniboia, and John, of Crepar, Sask

In 1905 after fifty years of Wedded life, they celebrated their Golden Wedding at which were gathered six children and eight Grandchildren and about fifty close and lifelong friends. In 1907 they bid adieu to their many friends to reside with their youngest daughter, Mrs. John Barnes, at Tavistock, Ont., where her life partner was called to his Heavenly home, leaving her to mourn the loss of a dearly beloved husband. Endeared by so many long years of close companionship, but being of strong constitution, and having always lived a very active life, she migrated with her daughter and son-in-law to the far West, where she resided till her Heavenly Father, to whom she at all times entrusted her every care, called her home to her reward. During the last five years she was afflicted with poor health but she bore her lot with great fortitude, waiting and being ready for the hour to come when she could join her loved ones who have gone before."

412 "When the [Fenian] trouble was over, the officers seemed desirous of continuing the training indefinitely, but they found difficulty in impressing their men with the necessity of this. One of the unconvinced was Sandy Carrick. A grandson of Alexander Harvie, he had a true Scottish sense of humor. Musket practice consisted of putting powder in the gun and all firing at a given command. This was repeated over and over and no one realized (perhaps not even Sandy) that his gun was not going off with the rest. It was only becoming more and more full of powder. During one volley his weapon did explode, and the recoil knocked him flat on the ground. There he lay, motionless, while the crowd gathered round. When the smoke had all rolled away and everyone was beginning to really worry, Sandy opened his eyes and said: 'Tell Jean I died fighting for the Queen and for my country.'"

W. V. Uttley Former Signet Editor Passes

NEWSPAPERMAN WHO DEVELOPED KITCHENER DAILY-RECORD. FIFTY YEARS A MASON.

In his eightieth year, William V. Uttley, passed away at his home in Elmira on Thursday evening, May 25th. Up until the past few months he had enjoyed very good health, but recently he began to fail, until his passing this week. For the past twenty-five years was a continuous resident of Elmira and he was a familiar figure about town as he enjoyed taking long walks daily when the weather was fine.

Born in Elmira, Jan. 1, 1865, he received his early education in Kitchener and went through as a school teacher and taught for three years at Doon. At this time he entered the newspaper business with the old Berlin Publishing Company and later was its editor. It was through his efforts and business administration The News-Record became a daily newspaper twenty-five years ago.

In 1919 he sold out his controlling interest in the News-Record and came to Elmira to live and on Dec. 1st, 1919 he purchased the Elmira Signet from George Klinck and became editor and proprietor of his home town newspaper. He retained the Signet only for a few years and sold out to Mr. Kester. Since that time he has lived retired.

He was an outstanding writer in his time and through all his years of retirement was intensely interested in newspaper work and development. His writing ability during retirement was chiefly directed to collecting historical data. He compiled and published a history of Kitchener which has been used as a reference book by many, tracing early historical events. An original member of the Waterloo Historical Society much credit can be given to the late Mr. Uttley for its present high standing and collection of historical data.

A Mason for fifty years, he was signally honoured the week previous to his death by being presented with a fifty-year membership jewel by members of the Grand Valley Lodge, Kitchener. A fitting ceremony had been planned by the lodge but due to Mr. Uttley's very poor health at the time, he was unable to attend.

The late Mr. Uttley was popularly known about Elmira as "Ben" and held in the highest esteem by a host of friends both young and old. While living to eighty years of age, he kept in close touch with world affairs and as well read on many subjects. Except for his hearing, he was in possession of all his faculties to the last. One fact might be mentioned which was a characteristic of the man was that his word once given in trust was strictly adhered to, as this seemed to be a very important side of his character. While engaged in newspaper work in Kitchener, he took an active interest in the city's welfare and served on the city council for a number of terms.

Those left to mourn their loss are his wife, formerly Sara Matthews of Doon; two daughters, Mrs. B.H. (Vera) Tanner, of Toronto and Mrs. Harry (Kathleen) Weichel of Elmira; one grandchild and two sisters, Miss A. Uttley of Kitchener and Mrs. Mary Parr of Detroit.

Funeral services were conducted from Dreisinger's Funeral Chapel on Monday afternoon with Rev. F. Malinsky of St. Paul's Lutheran Church officiating.

Uptown Waterloo is well into its transformation (2010), replacing a derelict mall stub and its parking lot and redeveloping the western side of King Street. Erin and I have been through the area a few times and while the construction is a pain to navigate around, we're already seeing substantial improvements. Nowhere is this most apparent in the sudden emergence of a street life for Willis Way. Willis Way was previously a short, one-block street running beside a parking garage, offering very little for the pedestrian save for a quicker journey to Waterloo's City Hall. 		Willis, James Darryl (I94401)

422 "Zelma Baer left footprints of discipline and hope wherever she went. She learned or inherited her authority and discipline from her father and her mothering and housekeeping abilities from her mother. 'She thought clearly and acted wisely, although we did not always recognize it at the time', commented her sister. Her life was one of practical ministry and selfless caring.

THE PRACTICAL NURSE

Zelma was born on June 6, 1905 to Ephraim and Lovina (Nahrgang) Baer on their farm just west of the hamlet of Haysville. Zelma's childhood predated modern conveniences, the world wars, and the Depression. Zelma learned to work, but she also had the physique. She was a well-built,strong woman, and according to a neighbour and friend, always 'carried herself regally'.

As the oldest in a large family, Zelma learned 'practical nursing' at an early age. Her brothers and sisters were born at home. In a large familycommunicable diseases made their rounds. The family was quarantined most of one winter because several children contracted scarlet fever one after another.

The Baer family was deeply religious. There was daily family worship, and they always went to church - and that was on time. On one occasion Father packed his family into the sleigh with heated bricks and blankets, and when they arrived at church, found the service had been cancelled due to impassable roads! It was the Biehn Mennonite Church (now Nith Valley) where the Baers attended.

The Baers entertained missionaries and Bible teachers in the home, giving the children exposure to people and the world beyond their home and community. It is from these experiences that Zelma may have aspired tobecome a doctor. At age 25, she left for Eastern Mennonite High School in Harrisonsburg, Virginia. Her schooling in Virginia was limited to a year or two, and the goal to become a doctor was abandoned.

Zelma came back to Ontario and embarked on a career of providing nursing care in the home. During the early years she served primarily on confinement cases. At that time most babies were born at home. Doctors were plentiful enough that practicing midwives had been put out of business - especially in Zelma's community - but people still engaged the services of a practical nurse. Called at the onset of labour, Zelma would aid in the decision as to when to call the doctor. If, for any reason,the doctor did not arrive on time, Zelma was there to take care of the delivery. Several family members and friends attest to the fact that Zelma delivered their babies.

Those who engaged Zelma as their 'nurse' got a housekeeper, additional parent, and manager in the bargain. If the baby was a firstborn, she shared the couple's excitement. If a young child was being replaced by a new baby, Zelma took this child to bed with her, giving both physical and emotional comfort.

If necessary, Zelma managed the household. A member of the Garber family commented on Zelma's roll in their home: 'When it was time for chores,she expected the cows to be in from the field so she could help with the milking. If the cows weren't in on time, there might be a familyconference at supper, and one of us children would have to squirm. At times like this, Zelma knew enough to be quiet and let the real parents supply the discipline. But if the parents were not there, Zelma was well able to practice fair and firm control....'

Whent he doctors finally convinced their clients to go to the hospital to have their babies, Zelma turned to the care of the elderly.

When working with young families, Zelma frequently ran into uncooperative youngsters, but she was able to avoid a great deal of fuss with her authoritative manner and quick movements. The elderly were also responsive to her firm, although kind, directions. All ages loved her forher good-natured humour and her spontaneous laughter.

Zelma did not do as much Sunday school and Bible school teaching as manysingle women did, because she could not as easily schedule her work to include such assignments. Sewing circle was more or less in the same category. While she had her permanent residence at Baden with several unmarried sisters, Zelma did serve as president of one of the sewing circle groups and Martha as secretary. They gathered used clothing for relief in their garage. This frequently needed washing, and when the clothes line was full of men's pants, these women had some explaining to do! Zelma was an excellent seamstress. She made her own clothes, and also sewed for the families she worked for when the need required. She could have made a more substantial contribution to the sewing circle if time had permitted.

Although Zelma was devoted to the Mennonite Church, she happily attended whatever church was nearby - no matter what denomination. One woman for whom Zelma worked gives the following tribute: 'I will always remember the unselfish devotion she gave to every task, however small, or humble. She was the perfect example of a Christian woman, and I learned a lot from her.'

After a short illness, Zelma died on Nov. 6, 1978 at the Maples Nursing Home in Tavistock, and is buried in the Nith Valley Mennonite Cemetery. She lives on in the memories of the many persons touched by her ministryof love and caring."

KITCHENER It was out of habit that Alicia Chandler picked up the phone to call her dad this week.

As she did, reality hit and she knew he wouldn't be on the other end to answer.

"He always called me sweetheart, and I'll never hear that again," she said Friday, sitting in her father's favourite Tim Hortons, just down the street from where he lived in Kitchener.

On Monday evening police found her father, 66-year-old Ronald Chandler, stabbed to death in his home. He lived with a roommate in a townhouse complex on Courtland Avenue East. Police continue to investigate his death but do not have any suspects and are unsure if the attack was targeted or random.

"I'm very angry that somebody took him away from me," said Alicia, a 31-year-old mother who lives with her spouse and three children in Kitchener.

"Hearing that autopsy '97 you just have to be some kind of monster."

Alicia, her older brother Jason Chandler and younger sister Emily Chandler, were all close with their father. When they were younger they all went to the cottage together '97 their father loved to fish, swim, and go boating.

Their parents divorced when they were children, but they continued to visit their dad on weekends. And, when Alicia turned 15, she and Emily moved in with their dad and stayed with him until they were old enough to move out on their own.

"He was one of my best friends," said Alicia, who visited him between two to three times a week. He had retired nearly ten years ago from the former Collins & Aikman factory in Kitchener where he was a lead shipper and receiver. For years after he continued to do odd jobs such as clearing snow and dry walling, but in the past few years his health deteriorated and he had to give up what he loved '97 working.

He had compressed discs in his neck and underwent surgery in December, said Alicia. It became hard for him to walk and do physical activities so Alicia quickly took over, driving him to medical appointments, grocery shopping, and most importantly '97 to Tim Hortons to get his extra large, triple-triple coffee.....

Murder victim Ronald Chandler 'has been the monster of my nightmares'

Chandler was convicted in June 2006 of sexual assault and invitation to sexual touching involving a person under 14.

KITCHENER '97 When Ronald Chandler's former stepdaughter heard he was killed in his Kitchener home, she felt relief that her former abuser was gone.

Chandler was convicted in June 2006 of sexual assault and invitation to sexual touching involving a person under 14.

He was sentenced to three years in prison, banned from going to parks or other public places where children might be for 10 years, banned from possessing weapons for life, and placed on the sex offender registry for 20 years.

Chandler, 66, was found stabbed to death last week in his home '97 a unit in a townhouse complex located on Courtland Avenue East, near Hayward Avenue. Police have not made an arrest in the homicide and do not know if the attack was random or targeted.

"For over 20 years that man has been the monster of my nightmares," said the Kitchener woman who was abused by Chandler when she was a young girl. She cannot be named as a publication ban on the case is still in effect.

"I always had the nightmare that he would come after me for revenge because (of) anger that I put him in jail, anger that he had to deal with the consequences of his actions."

After hearing the positive tributes to Chandler, the woman contacted The Record over the weekend with her story. She said she wanted the public to know what Chandler did.

"I wanted the public to not believe that he was this lovely, kind, friendly man that people were portraying him to be when he wasn't," she said. "He was literally a wolf in sheep's clothing."...

426 'I feel I've done what I need to do'

Departing Waterloo Mayor Dave Jaworsky delivers final state-of-the-city

By Jeff Outhit Record Reporter

WATERLOO - Outgoing Mayor Dave Jaworsky came to say goodbye. Kids stole the show just like he wanted.

Thursday before almost 300 people, Jaworsky delivered his final state-of-the-city speech at a charity fundraiser held at the RIM Park recreation complex.

He's retiring from city politics and not seeking re-election after eight years in Waterloo office.

Jaworsky asked two girls to share his podium. Years ago when the girls were in Grade 5, they were separately declared mayors for a day.

On those days they brought their ideas, toured the city, and rode in limousines with Jaworsky and other children in a youth outreach effort.

"Everyone knows that children are our future," Jaworsky told the audience.

What he likes to tell parents is "I can't change you, but I can change your kid. Your kid, well, they can change you."

Mission accomplished.

"This day holds a special place in my heart," Alyssa Panda, now 15, told the audience. Her mayoral idea was to instil more art in the city.

Elspeth Forde, now 14, had the idea of making a video to promote Waterloo. It ran nine minutes.

The girls said they were inspired by their service as one-day mayors. Being selected for the honour motivated schoolmates who went on to do their own projects.

"I hope whoever becomes the new mayor can learn from your example," Elspeth told Jaworsky.

Jaworsky did set an example. He affably led a drama-free council that purposefully accelerated city spending in pursuit of its goals.

"When I was elected I said, 'You know, there's a lot of things we need to catch up on here,'" he said in an interview.

Millions in extra spending helped council expand the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex, open a new library branch, add skateboard parks and trails, upgrade Waterloo Park, launch a climate plan, and begin to tackle a backlog of repairs to decaying roads and buildings.

Jaworsky told the audience a small story about how council approached its job.

Council planned and budgeted a single trail through a park. Many people wanted two trails, to better separate cyclists and pedestrians. So council spent more to build two, anticipating praise for doing the right job over complaints for doing half the job.

"We wanted to fix things up," he said in an interview after leading the audience through his legacy. "And I think that's really why I feel I can leave now. I feel I've done what I need to do."

Four candidates from outside council ranks are running to succeed Jaworsky as mayor in the Oct. 24 municipal election.

"The way I look at it is after eight years, I've left the house nice and clean and tidy," he said in an interview. "This is the perfect time to pass the baton to somebody else who can take a fresh look at the house and say, 'I know what needs to be done next.'"

Surging inflation will be a challenge, he warns.

"It's a very a terrible hit for each and every one of us personally. But it's going to hit municipalities as well," he said.

428 'The death of this lady in her 98th year, which occurred last week, removed one of the very oldest, most respected residents of our town, and brings back the very early days of our town. Mr. and Mrs. Kinsman came to Galt in the Fall of 1847 or early in 1848, and her husband, being a mason by trade, after a short time erected a small stone house on the side of the road which then ran along Mill Creek between where Beverly Street now is and the railroad track. There was no road then where the road now runs under the CPR track, but the road then used came out of the creek through the land now owned by Mr. Thorn. Alison. The home stood there alone for many years, perhaps stands there yet, but the late Mr. Shade laying out Beverly Street, and the railway being built and changing the course of the old road, side tracked it, and left the only way of reaching it from Beverly Street.'

'Mrs. Kinsman was married in 1815, her husband dying in 1874, if we mistake not. Their family was very large, consisting of seventeen children, of whom only Mrs. Jane Wilkins, widow of the late William Wilkins, Mr. Nicholas Kinsman, stone road, and Mr. Richard Kinsman still survive, but there survive her as descendants, twenty-nine grandchildren, sixty-three great-grandchildren, and nine great-great-grandchildren. The deceased lady was a woman of very equable disposition, a humble and devoted Christian adherent of the Methodist Church, having been connected with that denomination almost from the first days of its struggle for existence. She was blessed in retaining her faculties, to the last and passed away most peacefully.'1a

429 'The present "Wagon Factory & Residence" structure was built in the 1840's by blacksmith Isaac Weber of triple brick recovered from the town's first brick kilns. The foundations are five feet thick. An early map shows "W. Weber's Residence & Carriage Factory" on this site. Hand-hewn and pit-sawn beams throughout are believed to be from the original structure and prove to have been cut before there was a water-powered saw mill in town. Four blacksmiths have practiced here. Henry Shoemaker was the third but stayed only briefly. Jacob Kienzle ("kins-lee") was the last and most colorful. In his nearly 60 years here, Jake, as he was known, somewhere around the turn of the last century, converted the factory portion into a Road House, Store and Post Office and later into housing for four families during the Great Depression.

During his stay he built and repaired wagons, shooed horses, ran a Clock & Jewelry Shop, repaired guns and offered a haircut and a shave for 15 cents. He had a Model T Ford dealership on the property and gained his 25 year pin running the town Post Office amongst other antics. To date eleven people are accounted for who were born in the house from Bob Gaede in 1926 on. Bob is still part of the history that walks in our door frequently.'

430 'We don't want her to die feeling that she's alone'

105 years old and diagnosed with COVID-19, woman is isolated from the people she loves

She was born on a farm as the First World War was beginning.

She had eight brothers and sisters. As a teenager during Prohibition, she worked in her aunt's hotel in downtown Kitchener, and helped hide bottles of illegal booze in the laundry basket when the police came by.

She married, raised a family and then worked at the University of Waterloo. In retirement, she loved meeting new people, travelling all over North America, and playing with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Now, at the end of a long life filled with warm relationships, Irene Bitschy has been diagnosed with COVID-19.

Last week, she was moved from a nursing home in Kitchener to Cambridge Memorial Hospital.

For the first time in her 105 years, she is isolated from the people she loves.

"We don't want her to die feeling that she's alone," said her granddaughter, Heidi Sproul.

Bitschy (pronounced Beechy) had lived nine years at the Forest Heights Revera long-term care home. Her family visited several times a week.

At a time when seniors' homes are the battleground for the disease, Forest Heights is by far the worst hit in Waterloo Region.

There have been 34 deaths from coronavirus there. That's more than half of all the 66 deaths across this community.....

Lifetimes: Childhood memories lasted more than a century

By Valerie Hill Special to the Record

Growing up on a farm meant hard work but there were also magical moments, such as when the pond froze over and the kids on the Harnack family farm would don their skates and slip onto the smooth surface. The boys would light warming fires at the pond's edge and illuminate the surface by lantern so they could skate themselves into exhaustion.

For Irene Bitschy, these were special childhood memories of the 1910s, memories that would only become more colourful as she grew up.

Born Irene Harnack on Oct. 18, 1914, on a Shantz Station farm, she was the middle kid in a family of nine.

Irene was born months after the outbreak of the First World War and in her 10 decades, she would live through many world events including the Spanish Flu epidemic and Prohibition. Her life became really interesting and a little subversive during the latter.

At age 14, Irene took a job at her aunt's hotel in downtown Kitchener. Thanks to overzealous temperance workers, Prohibition was in full force by 1916, banning the serving of alcohol in public places. So it simply went underground, or in the case of the Kitchener hotel, it went up into a laundry basket.

Irene's main job at the hotel was to wash and iron linens in a second-floor room but she had another, equally important role. The hotel posted a guard at the street entrance and when he spotted police heading toward the hotel for a raid, a chain of events began: the men inside gathered up the liquor and knocked on the ceiling. A trap door would suddenly open, Irene would drop her laundry basket down the hole for the men to place the offending liquor in, then she'd haul it up, close the door and hide the bottles under sheets.

Irene admitted that this was the scariest time of her life, always living on the edge, always facing the possibility of arrest.

Life on the farm was also somewhat risky. Her father, Joseph Harnack, ran a still on the farm and he was lucky to have a pal on the police force who alerted him to planned raids which would have ruined his bootleg operation. Irene had remembered that times were desperate, her father had many mouths to feed and limited options.

There were happy times as well on the farm. Picnics and garden parties were frequent, and it was at one of these events at the Harnack home that Irene met William Bitschy, from Maryhill.

William was quite smitten by the pretty Irene, but she wasn't exactly feeling the same. Uncomfortable with his attentions, Irene left the party and hid in her room. William had to take a different tack. He danced with her grandmother and convinced her to intervene on his behalf. It must have worked because Irene agreed to go out with him and the two married in Kitchener in April 1935. Bill's priest in Maryhill had refused to marry the couple, given Irene was not a parishioner, so they married in Kitchener.

With the Depression in full swing, the newlywed's wedding brunch was surprisingly generous, serving a rare treat of hotdogs. The young couple honeymooned in Niagara Falls and would go on to have four daughters: Charlotte, Sheila, Marlene and Lynda.

In the early part of their marriage, the couple lived at a gas station. Irene served ice cream and pumped gas while Bill delivered coal. They later moved to Breslau where they lived for five years before purchasing a farm.

Irene was back to farm life, working alongside her husband. In 1953, Bill landed a job with CN Railway and four years later, the couple moved to Kitchener.

With four daughters to raise, Irene was a stay-at-home mom until she learned about a new residence opening at the University of Waterloo. They were looking for a "house mom" to help students, many who were on their own for the first time. Several were foreign students and these kids were often invited for dinner with Irene and Bill, easing their homesickness.

Irene retired in 1975 and in 1988, Bill died. Always stoic, Irene sold the family home and moved to an apartment. In 1990, at 76, Irene boarded her first airplane, for an Alaskan adventure.

Lynda Tranebo said her mother was kind and loving. "She would do anything for anybody." Irene was also an exceptional cook, particularly potato salad and popcorn balls that she made every Halloween for dozens of neighbourhood kids.

In May, Irene was diagnosed with COVID-19 and made local headlines when the nursing home moved her to hospital for more intensive care. Though she didn't exhibit symptoms, the illness did weaken her organs. Irene died May 22, 2020, at 105.

On Feb. 5, 1885, she was united in marriage to Joseph Ropp of Wellesley, Ont. To this union were born 10 children of which 3 sons (David, Mose, and Edwin) preceded her in death. Those remaining to mourn her departure are: Dan, Owendale, Mich.; Anna Dean, Dearborn, Mich.; Lead Ackerman, Elkton, Mich.; Adeline Kennel, Petersburg, Ont.; Emanuel, Bad Axe, Mich.; William, Detroit, Mich.; Ervin, Dearborn, Mich.; also her hus-band, as well as 17 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, 2 brothers, 3 sisters, and many friends. Grandma united with the Mennonite Church at the age of 16 and was a faithful member until death. She and her aged husband lived together for many years, having celebrated their golden anniversary almost 9 years ago. Her sudden death, which came with but little warning perhaps will exaggerate the loneliness which her husband will experience, but as Christians we can always be comforted with the presence of the Lord. In Christ we have the promise and the hope of being at home in joy and peace. Funeral services were held at the home by Pre. Frank Raber and at the Pigeon River Church by Bros.

442 (Research):Breslau (Cressman) Mennonite Church

Begun: 1815

Services were begun in Breslau in 1815. In 1834,  Benjamin Eby's  log meeting house, which had been built in Berlin in 1813, was moved to Breslau to the Cressman farm. Preaching services which were held every four weeks began in the reconstructed meeting house in 1837. A new brick church was built in 1856, at which time the old log meeting house was moved to Frederick Schaefer's brickyard. The old building may have been used for storage or an office until approximately 1880 when it was clad with white "Breslau Brick" from the brickyard, and used as a home by Frederick Schaefer and his family. The address of the house is reported to have been 18 Woolwich Street; it was still standing in 1985, according to Alder 1985, with the original log walls possibly preserved within the brick ones.

A summer Sunday School was begun in June of 1872. It was held in the Breslau schoolhouse until 1877 when it was moved to the church. Sunday School continued on in the summers only until 1889 when Sunday School classes began to be held all year.

The 1856 white brick church was taken down in March 1908, and was replaced with a new white brick church. In 1968 the name of the church was changed from Cressman Mennonite Church to Breslau Mennonite Church. Major renovations were made to the church in the same year. It is of interest to know that land amounting to approximately three acres was deeded to the congregation by Christian C. Snyder in three parcels, in 1837, 1859, and 1870.

Joseph Hagey,  the first minister at Cressman's, was ordained on February 10, 1839. He was ordained bishop in 1851. Ministers who followed him in serving the church at Breslau were  Jacob Woolner Sr .,  Elias Weber ,  Isaac A. Wambold ,  Jacob S. Woolner , and Oscar Burkholder. Services were held every four weeks from 1837-1867, and bi-weekly from 1867-1894 when weekly services were begun.

Begun: 1872

Meetings are reported to have been held in 1872 in a building at the corner of Woolwich Street and Mader Lane by a group who were followers of  Solomon Eby.  Conferences to consider reorganization of the church were held in 1874 and 1875, the most important of which was considered to have been the meeting at the Bloomingdale Mennonite Church on May 23, 1875. Members of the New Mennonites and the Reforming (or Reformed) Mennonites joined together at that meeting as the United Mennonites. At a meeting in Blair in 1879 a union, called the Evangelical United Mennonites, was formed from the United Mennonites and the Evangelical Mennonites. Four years later, in 1883, the Ohio Brethren in Christ (Tunker) joined with the Evangelical United Mennonites to form the Mennonite Brethren in Christ.

Dedication services were held on Christmas Day, 1882, for the new Breslau Mennonite Church which had been built during the year.  Henry Goudie  was minister to the congregation from 1881-1884. He was followed by  Peter Geiger (1884-1885)  and Frank Moyer (1885-1886). Solomon Eby, a member of the congregation who was minister from 1886-1889, had been one of the organizers on May 15, 1874 of the Reforming Mennonites.

On May 6, 1959 a decision was made to construct an 1800 square foot addition to the church. The sanctuary was enlarged and new pews were installed in 1978; dedication was in September of that year. Rev. Leonard DeWitt, president of the Missionary Church was guest speaker on Sunday, November 21, 1982, when the church's 100th Anniversary service was held. Of interest: the sign eteched in the glass above the doors on the northwest side of the back section reads "United Missionary Church."

444 (Reverend) Joseph joined the Evangelical movement in this area, so the records show, and was much influenced by it's preachers. He was so well liked and determined to succeed that when the Waterloo District was formed, Joseph was recommended and accepted to preach in this area, even though he was not ordained to do so. This was done at a later date. He was looked upon as a great leader in the community. He received his appointment to preach in 1854. He preached in New Hamburg in 1857, 1858-1895, 1896. and I understand at some of the other evangelical churches around this area such as Waterloo and Hespeler. Some records in Waterloo Historical Society books. vol #5 vol #6

A local Evangelical church was dedicated in 1851, Joseph was its minister. from Zion Evangeliacal (United) church 100th anniversary book. page 48-Joseph Umbach and Simon L Umbach mentioned. Joseph as District Superintendant. Ministers in this age were only permitted to serve for two years and so had to move to different churches periodically to maintain their profession. Hence both Joseph and Simon served many places in this area. page 55 mentions corner stone laying for Zion church building on Weber St. (present site) near Queen St. Joseph Umbach supervising.

Joseph born Munchzell in Baden Germany. His father Johann was born Grossgartig, Wurrtemburg Germany, and was a laborer and as a young man moved to Baden. He lived there with his parents until the family moved to America. Joseph was the second oldest and his mother's darling. The father was away from home a lot and so the training was left to the mother. The children had to learn to work early to help their mother with the farm. The father was Evangelical and the mother was catholic, a very pious person, so the children received a very strong christian upbringing. Joseph attended a rural school and shortly before they came to America he was confirmed. Relatives in Canada had been writing to them and so they came to Canada in sept 1843, having left Germany in June.

(Laschinger) The grandmother had died and grandpa was living in a small log house with his family, in a rural area with no neighbors, no school, or church. Joseph received no further schooling and hard work made him strong. The father bought a small farm near Conestoga but traded it for a tract of woodland 11 miles away in Woolwich twshp. there Joseph helped father build a house. The nearest neighbor lived 3 miles away and Joseph still could get no more education. The Umbachs were warned not to attend nearby chuch meetings in Berlin, but went anyways, with the result that his mother (Katherine) joined. Johann was furious and tried to stop things but after attending a meeting in St. Jacobs, joined himself.

Joseph at 18 was well on the way to becoming a preacher and his mother who was getting fed up with having so many preachers around, put her foot down on having home meetings and so Joseph left. The Michael Menger family built a house and the meetings were held there. After Josephs mother became more reasonable he returned home, and the religious group took him in. Later he was elected an officer of the church. (Elder). In 1853 he proved his ability as a preacher to a congregaion in Waterloo, under Rev. F. Herlan, where many people joined. Next was New Hamburg, for two years, with the same results. In 1859 he attended a church conference in New York, (400 miles with horse and wagon) with his wife and two children. It was very hard on them. He was rejected by the conference because he was Canadian. Two years later he went to the Utica mission as area head. In 1863 he was in Buffalo. In 1864 he returned to Niagara Falls for two years. In 1866 he was elected president of the district and held had post for 29 yrs. till poor health forced him tor esign that post.

For 4 yrs. he had a helper then spent a yr. as a helper, and then hiscareer as a minister was over. He suffered for 10 yrs., had many operations, but never fully regained his health.

He had a happy family life, though many trials. He had 12 children, 3 died in infancy. The death of his wife in 1906 was very hard for him and he stayed with his oldest daughter till he died in 1911. Rev. W. J. Wager conducted the funeral and 22 ministers lead the procession. The church could not hold all the people who came to pay their respects.

There is some confusion on his death year. The tombstone states he died in 1870, but we know that is not correct, because he was in the 1871 census of Berlin, Ontario & his Death Register has him dying in 1879.

462 ... native of Hessen, Germany, and was a member of the Hessian army that was hired by the British government to come to America to aid in what was considered the rebellion of the colonists. He was, however, taken prisoner at the battle of Brandywine by the forces under General Washington, and later he joined the American troops and fought for the cause of liberty, becoming one of the patriots of the colonial army. George Shade was united in marriage to Miss Hannah Bauer, who was born in Pennsylvania and belonged to an old family of that state. In the year 1851 they removed from the east to Peoria county, Illinois, where the father followed carpentering and also engaged in farming. His political support was given to the Democracy, and both he and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal church and lived consistent Christian lives. He died at the age of seventy-eight years, while her death occurred when she was seventy-five years of age.

464 .....Pilot Rex Myrick , 22, lifted off from northern Scotland on a warm, clear afternoon. Navigator Claude Berges , 27, sat in the seat behind him.

Their twin-engine, heavy fighter had loaded cannons, rockets under the wings, and a rare target.

A reconnaissance patrol had spotted a German destroyer in a Norwegian fiord north of Bergen. It was supported by at least nine escort vessels.

Nazi Germany had little navy left. It was three months from defeat. But it was still a formidable foe, desperate to maintain Norwegian shipping lanes that supplied iron ore for the German war machine.

The Allies felt they had to attack.

Rex and Berg, as he liked to be called, belonged to 404 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force . Its motto was "Ready to Fight."

Both had trained for years, but had yet to face the enemy. They had crewed together for just two months.

Pairing them made sense. Both were sons of southern Ontario merchants. Rex's father owned a butter-making creamery in Tillsonburg. Berg's father owned a bakery in downtown Kitchener, at Weber and Frederick streets.

You could call them bread and butter. Perhaps that's how Rex felt when he picked Berg to be his navigator.

"I think we'll get along fine together," Rex wrote to his parents.

Berg had attended Kitchener Collegiate Institute. He pondered becoming a pharmacist. When he enlisted to fight, he joined the army before switching to the air force.

In 1943, he married in Quebec City while training there. He left his bride Hilda to go overseas. The couple had no children.....

In 1833 be deeded his property to Puddicombe, and he and Everett tock up land on the east side of the river, a part of which is now the site of Haysville. Here, while clearing up the wilderness each kept a tavern, and as the district became more thickly settled they were bountifully rewarded in a financial way for their forethought in establishing what seemed to be a dire necessity in those days, when the jug of liquor in the harvest field was as indispensable as the jug of water is to-day....

____________________

Haysville sprang into prominence as years went by. It became one of the chief places between Hamilton and Goderich. The stage coach changed horses at Haysville. One of the early settlers was William Hobson. Mr. Hobson came from Ireland in 1818 and settled near London. He returned to Ireland but did not stay long. Returning to Canada he associated himself with a surveying party and went through to Goderich. Finally deciding to live at Haysville, he bought 200 acres now owned by Daniel Shantz. This farm had splendid pine and was sold to William Puddicombe in 1832 or 1833. ... From 1832 to 1836 many settlers came in to take up land. There were no churches or schoolhouses. Some few years after, a teacher named Robert Boucher taught school in a log house owned by Mr. William Puddicombe.

Here, while clearing up the wilderness each kept a tavern, and as the district became more thickly settled they were bountifully rewarded in a financial way for their forethought in establishing what seemed to be a dire necessity in those days, when the jug of liquor in the harvest field was as indispensable as the jug of water is to-day....

Peter Bernhardt revived the plant in the 1920s with the help of U.S. investors, but it closed for good in 1933.

A few years later, he leased the old stable for $1 to the 1st Preston Scout Troop after being approached by scout leader Wilf Blum, a young pharmacist then working at the Spencer Dalton Drug Store on Queen's Square in Galt.

Blum soon had the scouts renovating the stable. And in 1938, despite knowing little about music, he started the Preston Scout House Band, initially limited to Preston scouts.

Over the next 30 years the band would soar in stature and perform before thousands at major events across North America.....

That's the pavilion situated atop one of the highest hills in the park. Located just behind the old log schoolhouse and opened in 1898 at a cost of $1,721, the pavilion was designed by Charles Moogk with two long "fronts." One, facing the lake, originally had an overhang provided by the second floor. Underneath, the recessed ground floor contained washrooms and small meeting rooms. As can be seen in one of the postcard views, that lower section eventually became part of a greenhouse where the park superintendent, living just a few feet away in the Eby farmhouse, oversaw flower and shrub growth....

CHARLES MOOGK, SR., PASSES AWAY AT WATERLOO

Town Engineer Fro 25 Years and Prominent Architect and Builder. Resided Here For Half a Century In His 76th Year.


Death summoned one of Waterloo's oldest and best known citizens when Charles Moogk, the veteran town engineer and architect, passed peacefully away at his home, 18 Cedar St East. about seven o'clock on Friday evening. The late Mr. Moogk. who was in his 76th year, had been in failing health for about a year and since February had been confined to his bed.

During his tenure of office he gained a complete knowledge of every municipal service. He had a wonderful memory and it was rarely necessary for him to consult his maps when the location of streets, buildings, sewers, storm drains, water or gas mains was questioned. He supervised the installation of the sewerage, water and gas systems and also the construction of the various paved streets in Waterloo. His ambition to live to see the Erb street roadway paved was realized although his physical condition prevented him personally supervising the work.

As an architect the late Mr. Moogk had the supervision of the construction of many of the public and business blocks In Waterloo. When a young man he worked under contractor Nicholas Killer in the erection of the St. John's Lutheran church, St. Louis R.

He was an active and enthusiastic member of the lodge and for two years was honored with the office of District Deputy Grand Master. He was also a member of the Waterloo Lodge A. F. & M. No. 539.


The late Charles Moogk was born in Preston, December 9. 1848, where be resided until 1871 when he moved to Philadelphia. Pa., where he lived for several years. After his marriage to Josephine Lockard they moved to Waterloo about 1874. He at once became identified with the contracting business and later did architectural work and had charge of the erection of numerous public buildings and business blocks. In 1911 he retired from the contracting business.

A sorrowing wife and eight child survive to mourn his loss. Mrs. Catharine Eisley. Mary, (Mrs. Wm. Chivers), Salome. Elizabeth, Rose, Charles, Herman, all of Waterloo and George B. of Weston, Ont. Also one slater Mts. John Killer of Kitchener and a brother H. J. Moogk of Freeport, Ill.

The gathering included representatives from the town council, water and light commission, sewer commission, Board of Work's workmen, library board, school board, musical society and Germiania Lodge, I.O.O.F.

The service at the home was simple but impressive and was conducted by Rev. C. S Roberts, pastor of the St. John's Lutheran Church who spoke words of comfort to the bereaved family. He said the hand of the builder had ceased to toil but the memory of the work and the buildings which he erected in Waterloo would stand as a monument to the fidelity and energy of the deceased who won the regard and esteem of the citizens by his interest in various civic projects.

476 ...Angus John McLelland, son of Malcolm and Sarah McLelland, was born in Hespeler in 1874. The census of 1911 shows him living on Queen Street in Guelph with his wife, Josephine, and four children. McLelland worked at various jobs in Guelph, and at one time belonged to the fire department. At the time of his enlistment in March 1916, he lived on Nottingham Street and was 41 years old. His youngest child was eight. McLelland joined the 87th Infantry as a private and was eventually promoted to corporal....Ewart Berry and Angus McLelland were killed in action on Aug. 15. McLelland's wife and children were visiting in Hespeler when the telegram reached Guelph on Aug. 31, and a relative had to relay the awful news.

Gen. Haig didn't follow up on the amazing capture of Hill 70. Instead, he sent the Canadians to Passchendaele. Lens remained in German hands for another year. The names of Gibbs, Keys, Pearson, Poulton, Berry, McLelland and others would be inscribed on the Guelph Cenotaph for their sacrifice in what Haig called "one of the finest minor operations of the war."

Sudden Passing of Ephriam Erb

Succumbs To Heart Attack Following Illness Of Two Weeks; In Insurance Business

Death last night deprived Kitchener of a widely known resident, when Ephriam Bricker Erb, 111 Church street, succumbed to a heart attack and passed away at his residence at about 6:30 o'clock. The late Mr. Erb, who was 64 years of age, had been ill for about two weeks. Altho he was away from business, Mr. Erb was not confined to his bed. Yesterday morning, however, he felt ill and went to bed and his condition became rapidly worse.

As an insurance broker, manufacturer and follower of sport, the late Mr. Erb was well-known not only thruout the city but also in various other points of Ontario. His local connections brought him a large number of friends and acquaintances in Kitchener, while membership in the United Commercial Travelers' Association resulted in a further widening of the circle of those who knew him.

Born in Roseville, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Menno Erb, he came to Kitchener when quite young in 1891 he married Lillian Lee in this city. Since that time he has lived in Kitchener.

At the death of his father he took over the management of the Erb glove company, and was latterly connected with the insurance brokerage firm of Erb and Erb.

Surviving him are his wife; two sons, Carl of Montreal and Irvin of Kitchener, three daughters, Mrs. A. A. Schreiter of Kitchener, Mrs. J. Bennett of Galt and Miss Betty Erb of Kitchener, one brother, Edwin of Grimsby and one sister, Mrs. V. C. Buchanan of Montreal. One son Harry predeceased him in August, 1927.

The funeral will be held on Thursday afternoon, with a private service at the residence on Church street at two o'clock and a public service at Trinity United Church, of which he was a member, at 2:30 o'clock. Interment will be made in Mount Hope cemetery, Kitchener. Rev. W. D. Spence, pastor of Trinity United Church, will be in charge of the services.

478 ...Henry Alexander Hartwig Martin Schmidt, a wagon maker by trade. Young Henry's [son of Henry Alexander Hartwigh Martin Schmidt] mother, whose maiden name was Mary Rode, died when he was about five years of age. His father married a second time. The stepmother died of smallpox in 1873.

In the fall of 1863 the Schmidt family departed from their native land bound for Canada, taking a train from Weissmer to Hamburg, where they took a vessel. They were eleven weeks on the Atlantic, not including one week their ship was in quarantine off Pearl Island owing to sickness. on board. After reaching Quebec they came on to New Hamburg, and from which place they finally moved to Mannheim, their residence in the former place being about two months. In Mannheim the elder Schmidt purchased seventeen acres of land, which he tilled in addition to working at his trade, until he retired in 1873, when he took up his home with Henry, jr., who had just been married and founded the home he at present occupies, lot No.6, one mile and a half west of Mannheim. Here he lived until his demise, which occurred about fifteen years ago, aged 69 years....

479 ...In Stratford, brothers N.R. and W.A. Bugg conceived "The People's Railway" linking Woodstock, Stratford, Berlin and Guelph with stops in Tavistock, New Hamburg, Ayr, Bloomingdale, New Germany (Maryhill), Puslinch, Elora and Arthur. Huge bonuses were voted by communities along the route: Berlin, $60,000; New Hamburg, $20,000; Wellesley Township, $15,000; and Tavistock, $10,000, are just some of the local debentures issued in 1909 to support the company. Near Bridgeport, in July 1910, workers began building embankments across the Kraft farm toward Bloomingdale, and contractor Charles Robbins of Galt erected caissons in the Grand River. Within these he constructed concrete piers to support a 400-foot-long bridge that would carry the railway from Berlin to Bloomingdale.

Surveying and embankment work paused for the winter. By spring 1911, disquieting signs indicated financial peril; workers went unpaid and suppliers demanded cash. Even a bond issue failed to pump life back into The People's Railway. By fall 1911, the Bugg brothers were out. Several attempts to re-organize failed. For years, a large pile of steel rails sat rusting near Bridgeport.

The First World War halted all rail expansion plans and, when peace returned, changing transportation patterns doomed most of the might-have-been electric railway networks across southern Ontario.

A pilot friend says he can still trace the earthen embankments from Bridgeport to Bloomingdale to Maryhill, but that's about all that remains of The People's Railway a century later ... except for that quintet of concrete piers stepping across the Grand River.

482 ...On the fifteenth day of February, 1865, James Sault was apprenticed William Hunter for three years, his father, also James Sault going his security in the amount of two hundred and fifty dollars. The very first job young Jim had to do when he entered his apprenticeship was to help dig the trench for the foundations for a new shop Hunter had decided to build. After Hunter moved into his new shop, then a one-storey building, which we know as "Saults" Blacksmith Shop, James P. Johnston set up business in his own place and carried on till at least 1882 and I believe much longer.

...James Anderson had acquired Hirsch's half interest and also the Allendorf lot at the corner on which had been erected the middle portion of the present James Sault house, to which later Mr. Sault added the stone front portion and the kitchen in the rear of the original house.

By 1873, James Anderson had acquired the interest of Wray in the shop and so owned it and the house then on the corner. And Hirsch continued as his tenant of both until 1874 or 1875. Then James Anderson operated the shop for a year or two.

Upon completion of his apprenticeship in 1868, James Sault worked for a while out in Puslinch and then went to Leamington where he had secured a job. On his return to Hespeler in 1876 he at first rented and later purchased the shop from James Anderson and there he continued in business until he died, January 2nd, 1913, aged 65 years, 23 days.

And so these two men, James Anderson and James Sault, whose names "Anderson & Sault, Makers" had appeared on the back axle of hundreds of waggons and buggies; on the back bolster of hundreds of bob sleighs, started, in the same month, on their journey to Eternity.

James Edwin Sault once told me that when he entered his father's shop as an apprentice his first job was sharpening horse shoe nails which came blunt in those days. This was done on a tiny anvil made specially for the purpose. For many years there was a small iron shoe shaped not unlike the Capital letter "D" but slightly flattened one end of the curve, nailed to the front door frame of Sault's Blacksmith Shop. This was one side of an ox shoe which had to be made in two separate sections because of the cloven hoof.

This shoe was removed and is in possession of Miss Ruby Sault who let me examine it one day. Shortly after, I was telling Henry Sachs about the funny-looking shoe, and he said he knew all about it; because he had himself made it for John Strycker, who along with Archie D. Ferguson's Grandfather, were the last two men I recall having come to Town with a waggon drawn by oxen.

483 ...relevant page of the 1891 census, that has info on Alexander Coutts and family. If you up the zoom on the occupation, after the bold inking of Trades Instructor is , faintly, Pent. There is also, even fainter, suggestions of an over-write in other areas of the Trades Instructor entry. There is no family lore to suggest Alexander taught in a trades school, nor do I know of any such school being in existence in New Westminster at that period of time, and I would have guessed that Blacksmithing would have been learned under a direct, indentured apprenticeship. BC Pen, at that time, likely didn't involve trades training, so I would venture to guess that Alexander didn't want it made too public, his affiliation with the Pen.

Subsequent census', in 1901 and 1911, show him to be in the same polling area as the Pen and the Insane Asylum [which were within about a mile of each other], which would make sense if his primary means of transportation were his own two feet. Unfortunately, I can't decipher the writing that gives his street address in the 1911 census. My best guess is in the neighbourhoods of Sapperton or Queen's Park, which are either side of the Pen, Asylum, and Fraser Graveyard [Graveyard actually more or less in Sapperton].

Family lore tells of Alexander being the FIRST blacksmith at BC Pen. I haven't found any documentation or other sources to confirm this, or to put a date to it.

The 1911 census shows Alexander as having worked, in 1910, at a Cannery, for 21 weeks, 60hr weeks, earning $450 total. There was a cannery, on the Fraser River, near to the Railway bridge and Patullo Bridge, New Westminster side [left bank]. This would be very near the Pen and Asylum sites. I don't know when it started or closed, but it was operating in the late 1930's when my aunt and mother worked there. It would be, I would guess, largely seasonal employment.

Family lore tells of Alexander coming to New Westminster from the U.S.A., but census data always points to the place of birth as Ontario. His wife, Annie Fraser, is consistently linked with the U.S.A., specifically, Ithaca, New York. As their marriage, in Victoria, B.C., predates the completion of the C.P.R. [transcontental Canadian Railway], it makes sense that Alexander took passage by rail, or by sea, travelling across the U.S.A., or between ports of the U.S.A. on its' east and west coasts, before arriving in New Westminster. The marriage of Annie Fraser and Alexander Coutts is recorded as being on the date of 1880/9/8, according to BCArchives vital statistics.

So, somewheres between the census of 1871, and the marriage of Alexander and Annie [Fraser] in 1880, it would appear that Alexander, son of William Coutts, a blacksmith, left Waterloo, and ended up in the wilds of British Columbia. By what path, I know not. And how A&A came to meet? I know not.

Old family photos show Alexander seated in a chair, his Annie standing beside him. They were head to head. Safe to assume, he was big, and she was tiny?

In 1921, after five years of hard work trying to differentiate their shop from numerous other, mostly Jewish-operated, clothing stores along King Street, they built a $50,000 dry goods emporium at number 227. Expanding to ladies' wear, shoes, kitchenware and millinery, Jack renamed the business "Davis Economic Store." It was modern throughout - featuring cash-carrying vacuum tubes \emdash and people who recall Acker Furniture will be able to envision the Davis store's layout and location. In 2016, the site is an empty lot beside Manulife.

Life was good for the Davises in the late teens and early 20s and the family was active in the early days of Beth Jacob Synagogue in Kitchener. Business was also good because at the same time as his $50,000 store investment Jack was spending another $25,000 constructing a mansion high above Kitchener....

486 ...This week University of Chicago's director of health, Dr. Dudley B. Reed, was to publish a warning in the University's daily paper. University of Minnesota's Dr. Ruth Boynton already warned, without much apparent good: "It's burning the candle at both ends. It means burning up more energy than the body has time to replenish. While we know the pills keep one awake, so little is actually known of their cumulative effects that we think it unwise for students to take them without a physician's advice. No more than two of these pills should be taken in any 24-hour period. The size of dose, however, depends a great deal on the individual. People with heart trouble and high blood pressure obviously should not take Benzedrine."

At the University of Toronto, the dean of women, Marion Black Ferguson, tried another method to forestall the pep-pill fad among woman students. She sees that they maintain their wits and vigor by taking pills containing calcium and phosphorus, eating regularly, going to bed early.

487 ...told by Mrs. John Bury that when the cemetery [St. Agatha] was first laid out and made ready for burials, a collection was taken up to defray the expenses of clearing and fencing. The collector approached a young man named Zeisele, the hired man of a neighboring farmer. The young man deferred and said he should not be asked to contribute to the work because he might never need the cemetery. A short time after, while logging, he was caught between the logs and crushed to death. Thus he was one of the first to need burial there.

488 ...Unfortunately Mr. Bryant's principalship of the school was doomed to be very brief. An infirmity, deafness, which had been gradually creeping upon him, so interfered with his duties as to make it absolutely necessary for him to withdraw from the position and from the profession, and so, to the great regret of the school and the public, he retired in 1884, after three years of splendid work. Mr. Carscadden, M. A., who had been English Master of the school during Mr. Bryant's time, was appointed to succeed him, and from that year, 1884, to the present, Mr. Carscadden has guided the destinies of the Old St. Andrew's Church. Collegiate, maintaining for it that high character which it has held through half a century. It only remains to state that much of the success which the school has attained is undoubtedly due to the able support of the citizens and of the trustees, who have always given the school their best services and support, and have sought by every legitimate means to maintain the high position so long held by this, probably the most unique institution in secondary education in the Province of Ontario...

___________________________

Valentine Ratz, the forebear of numerous millers, built a sawmill west of the village on the Conestoga River in 1844. Jacob C. Snider, in 1848, bought a farm on the south side of the Conestoga and after constructing a dam across the river, erected a saw-mill, a flour-mill, and a woollen-mill. Those industries attracted more mechanics and stores. In 1852 the village was named St. Jacobs after Mr. Snider. The "Saint" was added to his first name "for the sake of euphony." He sold the mills to his son Jacob in 1855. From 1856 until 1870 there were five different owners. In December of 1870 E. W. B. Snider purchased the flour-mill and operated it till 1917, when he sold the enterprise to W. W. Snider, who incor-porated the business as the Snider Flour Milling Company. The latter later sold the business to Walter J. Snider of Conestoga, whose heirs still operate it.

_______________

James and Elizabeth were both born in Devonshire, England; he on a farm called Birchill, near the village of Langtree, she in Pilton, near Barnstaple. James was the sixth child, and fifth son of Humphrey Mallett and Catherine Balson.

James and Elizabeth were married in Pilton in 1824. Their first three children, and possibly the fourth, were born in the British Isles, the rest of the children were born in Canada. James seems to have been well educated; his occupation was listed as "Schoolmaster", when their first son was christened in Barnstaple in 1826. Sometime between the birth of the first child and the third in Exeter in 1830, James had learned the trade of carpentry, and his occupation this time was listed as "Joiner".
