• Notes

  On Thursday of last week Mr. John H. Thoms received per telephone, the sad news that his mother had suddenly died in Berlin. She had been in her usual health and had gone out to do some work n the garden, when death suddenly overtook her. Deceased was born in Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1832. In 1851 she was married to John Toms and in the following year they came to Canada. They lived about a half year in Preston and then moved to Chicopee. IN 1884 her husband died and a year later she came to Berlin where she had lived with her daughter ever since. Of 8 children a married daughter died six years ago. The remaining children are: - William, in Doon; John, St. Jacobs; Mrs. Christ Peters, Vancouver; Alvine, at home; Mrs. Chas. Lebutski, in Chicopee; and Mrs. O. Congdon, Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. J.B. Gateman, Berlin. She had reached the age of 75 years, 9 months, and 22 days. The funeral took place last Saturday to Mount Hope cemetery, Berlin. The funeral service was held in Zion Church of which deceased had been a faithful member, Rev. Damm officiating. The bereaved have the sympathy of friends in Berlin and St. Jacobs as well. - Peace to her ashes. - K.M. Elmira Advertiser 31 Oct 1908
