• Notes

  OTTO PRESSPRICH, Reeve of New Hamburg, editor and proprietor of the New Hamburg Independent and Canadian Volksblat, was born in Grossenhain, Saxony, in 1833, and at the age of twenty-two years settled in Wellesley Township. After three years spent in teaching he removed to New Hamburg, and pursued the same profession until 1863, when he secured the editorial management of the journal which he has ever since conducted and now owns. Even since abandoning the teacher's profession he has taken a most lively and practical interest in education, and in that connection has served almost continuously on the School Board, in addition to which he has engaged in local politics to a considerable extent, has served several years in the village Council, and was, at the last municipal election, promoted to the Reeveship of New Hamburg, which, at this writing, he still holds.
