  • Notes 
    • Peter Lautenschlager

      The death took place at the home of his brother at Petersburg on Friday, Nov. 12th, of Mr. Peter Lautenschlager, of Toronto, at the age of 48 years, 8 months and 3 days. He was taken ill at Toronto with neuritis four weeks ago. The deceased was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Lautenschlager and was born at Petersburg, where he spent his boyhood. He learned telegraph operating at the Petersburg station, and after being located at Breslau and New Hamburg for a few years, he was transferred from here to the Guelph station in 1892. Several years later he was appointed G. T. R. agent at Swansea, where he resided for a number of years. About ten years ago he moved to Toronto, where he bought a business block on corner of Bloor and Albany street and carried on a large retail shoe business up to the time of his death. He was an enterprising business man and enjoyed the acquaintance of a large circle of friends. The deceased was a good musician and a noted singer, having been a former member of Dr. Vogt's choir of Toronto. The late Mr. Lautenschlager was unmarried, but is survived by five brothers and two sisters, namely: Adam, George, William, and Mrs. Henry Weppler and Miss Dolly, of Petersburg; John, of New Hamburg, and Henry, of Kitchener. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon from the home of Mr. William Lautenschlager to the Petersburg cemetery. Services were conducted in the Lutheran Church by Rev. Battenberg, of Wellesley, assisted by Rev. Dupernell, of Petersburg, and Rev. Hahn, pastor of the Lutheran Church in Toronto, of which the deceased had been a valued member. The funeral was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends including Mr. Hunt, of Toronto, and Miss Holt an employee in the deceased's store.
