  • Notes 
    • OBITUARY.

      Mr. Thomas Trussler, a highly esteemed citizen of our town, died at his home on Scott street on Friday last after a prolonged illness, at the age of 66 years, 2 months and 2 days. Mr. Trussler emigrated with his parents to Canada in 1833, where they took up residence on the town line between Wilmot and Waterloo. In 1860 he was married to Miss Hamnah Townsend. They then lived on a farm adjoining his father's until about six years ago when they moved to Berlin. His widow and five children, one son and four daughters, remain to mourn his death.
