  • Notes 
    • Former resident passes away.

      Local relatives and friends were deeply shocked when news reached them of the passing away in St. Mary's Hospital, Kitchener, in the early hours of Wednesday morning of Mrs. Harold Trussler, who was formerly Miss Nelda Shelley, the younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Shelley of this place.

      The late Mrs. Trussler was born here April 4, 1894, and spent her childhood years and youth here. Some years ago she married her now bereaved husband and took up residence in Kitchener, where they have since resided. Besides the sorrowing husband there survive an infant daughter, her parents, one sister, Luella, at home here, and her twin brother, Nelson of Galt.

      The funeral, attended by local relatives and friends, was held on Friday afternoon, with a private service at her late home and thence to the Evangelical cemetery at St. Jacobs where interment was made.
