    • "Aaron Kribs, aged 88 years, died at the residence of Peter Brown, at noon on Sunday last. The deceased was a resident of our village for the past eleven years, and had been a member of Peter Brown's household for the last eight years. He leaves four mourning children, two daughters and two sons, the former being Mesdames Brown and Frame of this village. The remains were taken to Hesplar [Hespeler], Ont[ario, Canada], on Tuesday for interment, that being the home of his son, Lewis Kribs. Mesdames Frame and Brown attended the funeral. David Kribs of Sturgis was at the bedside of his father at the time of death. The cause of death is attributed to old age."
