• Notes

  Karl (Charles) Noecker was born in the state of Prussia in Germany. After he had served in the cavalry in the Prussian army, he decided in 1852 to come out to Canada. He chose Berlin because of the use of German language and was able to get a job in George Davidson's store. In 1854 he went back to Germany and brought over his whole family who settled around the community of Glen Allen. But not Charles. He returned this time to Waterloo. As things worked out later, he found a job helping run the Traveller's House, a hotel that had been established by Eckhardt Kalbfleisch. It appears that Kalbfleisch was in failing health and he died in 1862. After a year or two Charles married the Widow Kalbfleisch. As Noecker took over the business in 1864 he decided to give his place a fancy name \endash Gambrius Hotel, but the name didn't appeal to the local citizens and they just called it Noecker's Place. Charles built a large home for his family on the corner of King St N and what was later Noecker St which he called Karlsrest. Ellis Little Papers "Charles Noecker Biography". 2021.

One of the old pioneers of Waterloo passed to his rest at 12 o'clock last night in the person of Mr. Chas. Noecker. Deceased was born in Germany and came to this country when a young man. For many years he was connected with the store and postoffice of the late Mr. Davidson, in Berlin, and for some time carried on a business there in his own name. Later he removed to Waterloo and for a number of years was proprietor of the hotel known as the West Side Park hotel at the north end of King St. He was highly respected by his fellow-citizens, which is evidenced by the numerous offices of trust that he held during his long and useful life. He was assessor for the town for many years. For nearly twenty years he was an active member of the public school board, and for more than a quarter of a century he was a member of the Free Library board, and at one time held the position of chairman. He was a member of this board at the time of his death. Deceased was also one of the License Commissioners for North Waterloo, of which board he was chairman for some years. The immediate cause of his death, though be had been in poor health for some time, was a fall on Friday last, from the effects of which he did not recover. He is survived by a widow and three children, Charles, physician in Waterloo; Alvin, in British Columbia, and Minnie, (Mrs. Fenton), near Hawksville. The funeral takes place Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. from his late residence, on King street, to St. John's Lutheran church, and Hom thence to Mount Hope cemetery for interment. He was age 79 years [] months and 10 days. The Weekly News-Record, Kitchener, Region of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Thu, Dec 10, 1903 Page 8
