      Eby, Ezra E. (1895).

Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.].

      _____________________________-


      Mrs. Shantz, the beloved wife of Mr. Jacob Y. Shantz, died this morning, at 12 o'clock, at her late home on Queen Street. Deceased was seventy year of age and has been in enfeebled health for some time, and though her end came somewhat suddenly, yet it was not altogether unexpected. Her maiden name was Sarah Shuh and she was connected with many of the oldest families in the County. The day of her funeral has not been definitely decided upon. We unite with the friends of the bereaved family in extending our sympathy in this hour of loss and sorrow.
