    • Death of Bernard Schmuck

      After a long and useful life, one of the best known residents of Weissenburg district died yesterday in the person of Mr. Bernard schmuck. The deceased was in his 86th year, and for over 60 years had been a successful farmer and pump-maker in Weissenburg. His fame and ability as a pump-maker was known throughout the country, and today there are pumps still in operation that have been in use for 50 years that were made by Mr. Schmuck. He was born in Alsace Lorraine, when that province was owned by France. When a boy of 18 he came to America and went to work in Buffalo. Later he came to Canada, and lived for some time at Ancaster, before purchasing the farm at Weissenburg some sixty years ago. Mr. Schmuck was a splendid type of man, and of a robust constitution. Some years ago he lost one foot, the result of blood poisoning, from a splinter which entered his foot while chopping wood. Apart from this injury he remained in good health right up to almost a week ago, when the infirmities of old age made it necessary for him to take to his bed. He passed peacefully away yesterday morning. The late Mr. Schmuck's wife predeceased him 14 years ago. He is survived by six sons, Bernard, on the old homestead; Charles, of Toronto, formerly proprietor of the City Hotel, Guelph; Frank, of Kitchener; Vincent, of St. Paul; Lewis and Albert of Guelph. There are also two daughters, Mrs. A. Lehman, of Kitchener; and Mrs. Smith, of Waterloo. The funeral will be held on Saturday to the RC Cemetery at New Germany, requiem mass being celebrated at St. Boniface's Church, of which the deceased was a devoted member. He was also one of the trustees of that church and helped to build it, drawing stone from Guelph at the time of its erection. - Guelph Mercury (Friday).
