  • Notes 
    • Sauder. - Emanuel, son of John B. and Christina (Frey) Sauder, was born in Waterloo Co., Ont., Nov. 25, 1911; on Feb. 29, 1928 he accompanied a group of boys on a rabbit hunt, and accidently received a gunshot wound inflicted by his own gun of which one barrel missed fire. This was unknown to Him because of the report of the other guns. Having wounded his game, and thinking his gun empty he used the stock of his gun to bat his game in order to claim it. When in this act the gun discharged, lacerating the under side of his right arm from wrist to elbow. He was taken to Kitchener and Waterloo Hospital, where every possible attention was given. However, blood poison set in and lock-jaw developed, causing intense pain which He bore patiently to his end. He expressed his willingness to depart from this world. The end came on Mar. 11, 1928, at the age of 16 y. 3 m. 15 d. His mother preceded him three and one-half months, also twin brothers in 1915. He leaves to mourn his early departure, father, 1 brother, 2 sisters, 1 grandmother, 2 grandfathers and a host of friends. Funeral services were conducted by Urias Martin and Israel Weber, at the house and at the Conestoga River Church. Interment in the adjoining cemetery.

      EMANUEL SAUDER

      We are sorry to report the death of Emanuel, the second son of Mr. John B. Sauder, in the K-W Hospital on Sunday afternoon last, at the early age of 16 years.

      He was admitted to the hospital about 2 weeks ago with a badly lacerated right arm the result of an unfortunate gun-shot wound, while with a party of rabbit hunters near Crosshill.

      For a few days recovery seemed quite probable but tetanus, or lock-haw, developed and nothing could be done to check the progress of the malady.

      He is survived by his father, one brother and two sisters.

      His mother predeceased him about 3 months ago.

      The funeral was held from his late home on Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock to Conestogo River church and cemetery for service and interment.

      Mr. Sauder and family have the sympathy of the community and large circle of acquaintances in this their second bereavement in such a short time.
