  • Notes 
    • Mr. Charles Wanklyn died suddenly of a heart attack while pushing a car out of his garage in Kitchener on Monday. The deceased who was in his 77th year was a brother of Mr. Tobias Wanklyn, of this town. He was well known to the farmers of this district, taking contracts for sugar beet growing years ago while the Kitchener sugar beet factory was still in operation.

      New Hamburg Independent 7 Jan 1938

      ____________

      Driving out towards Mannheim we called on Mr. Chas. Wangeline who lives on the Jacob Doering farm, Charley has done as well as any Bridgeport boy we have so far come across. Like Jacob of old he married a wealthy farmer's daughter with whom he served for some years and now has complete control of the farm and is ably assisted by his companion who set us up a dinner fit for a prince. Mr. Wangeline purchased a bag of Mangury Barley from which he realized 56 bushels; he keeps this in a separate granary as he does all his new and special grains. Farmers would do well to buy some of this seed as the buyers pronounce it A. I. A neat shed for his rigs and implements adjoin this granary and a carpenter and tool shop are also added. His herd of dairy Durham cows are beauties, several of which average 12 pounds of butter per week, his horses are of the best, and his stock of pigs are doing splendidly, the poultry on this place are nice,

      fat and clean and no wonder as an excellently arranged stable and hen roost is provided for them. A magnificent view of the county town can be had from here, in fact from the top of his house the city of Guelph, 15 miles distant can be seen. Charley in his prosperity has not forgotten his brothers in Michigan, one of whom recently lost his wife and he went over and brought two of the children with him and will keep them until such time as their father wishes them sent home, thus following out the Golden Rule to do unto others as you would be done by. Mrs. W.has things about the house neat and tidy. We wish this interesting young couple and their little ones continued happiness in their beautiful fair new home.
