  • Notes 
    • STEIN, JOHN

      Some weeks ago, we gave a full account of the terrible accident that befell our aged townsman, Mr. Stein, by falling down stairs and of which the doctors held out slight hope of his recovery. It has been owing only to his strong constitution that he survived so long as he did. He could take but little nourishment and never rallied from the shock and passed away very peacefully, early Thursday morning, April 5, 1894. The funeral took place Saturday at 1 and was largely attended. A short service was held at the house and also at the grave, after which a funeral service was given in the German Evangelical Church, of which Mr. Stein was a devoted member, by the pastor, Rev. C. S. Finkbeiner. The following relatives from a distance were present: H. Stein and wife of London; William Stein, wife and daughter of Berlin; Adam Stein of Waterloo; William Mast and wife of Freeport; Charles Shear and wife of Aldershot; Mrs. Johnson of St. Catharines; B. Carroll of Buffalo, NY; James Perrin of Listowel.
