• Notes

  Died at Ottawa It becomes our sad duty to chronicle in this issue, the death of Albert Jansen, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Jansen, who died at Ottawa on Tuesday, a victim to typhoid fever. Though the attack was severe from the beginning, favorable reports came during the latter part of last week. But on Monday a telegram was received by his parents to the effect that he was worse and that the disease had reached a crisis. Then followed a time of anxious waiting on the part of the family here, with little hope of any better news than came on Tuesday forenoon announcing his death. Deceased was cut off in the very prime of life. He had just a few weeks ago removed from Carleton Place to Ottawa, where he had got a good situation as hardware clerk, and was looking hopefully into the future. He and his employer seem to have been on particularly good terms with each other, as the latter gave him the testimony of being a good boy, "a fine man," and continued his wages while he was sick in the hospital. Deceased was a young man of many good qualities, honest and kind-hearted, and made many friends wherever he went, made such friends as did not draw him away from the Best Friend, whom he loved and served. The earthly remains of the deceased will be brought to Elmira where they will be laid to rest in the Union Cemetery. The funeral will take place from his parents' home on Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The bereaved family, consisting of his parents, three brothers and two sisters, have the sympathy of a wide circle of relatives and friends in their sad bereavement. The Elmira Advertiser, Wednesday, August 1, 1906 __________________ Young Elmira Man dies at Ottawa The sad intelligence reached Elmira by telegraph, last Tuesday forenoon, that Albert Jansen, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Jansen, of Elmira had departed this life, a victim to typhoid fever. About a week ago, word was received by his relatives that he was seriously ill at the hospital at Ottawa. His brother, Arnold, of Berlin, hastened to his bedside without delay and found that his case was very serious indeed. Encouraging messages were sent home to the anxious ones while there was hope for his recovery, but as the disease reached the crisis, it appeared that the chances for recovery were very slim. Following a message to that effect on Monday came one on Tuesday announcing his death. Deceased had been away from home almost continually after his school years. He had chosen the hardware trade and acted as clerk in Berlin several years. Then he went to Carlton Place where he stayed several years. Only recently he removed to Ottawa where he had secured a good situation and where he was well thought of by his employees who showed his regard in many ways during the illness. Deceased led a Christian life and gained the respect and good will of those with whom he came in contact. He visited his parents and friends here periodically and will be greatly missed by them. He leaves behind father and mother, three brothers and two sisters, who have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in this community. He had reached the age of 27 years, 7 months and 26 days. The funeral will take place from the residence of his parents on Thursday at 2 o'clock p.m. Unidentified Newspaper Obituary
