Another of Waterloo's aged residents passed away on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock in the person of Catherine Rockel, wife of Mr. Andrew Rockel, at the advanced age of 70 years and 14 days. Deceased had been ill for the past two years, being confined to her bed for a good portion of that time. The late Mrs. Rockel was born in Germany on Nov. 17, 1836. When 11 years of age she came to Canada, coming direct to Waterloo. She was married to Mr. Andrew Rockel in 1856. Thirteen children blessed the union, ten of whom survive, namely: Henry, Charles, Gustave, Adolph and Andrew, and five daughters, Sophia (Mrs. Schwartzwelder), Waterloo; Regina (Mrs. Brasseler), Toronto; Teckla (Mrs. Bardon), Berlin; and Linda and Catherine at home. The funeral was held Monday afternoon from the late residence, west of Waterloo, where services were conducted by Rev. H. Petschke, of Heidelberg. The interment took place at Mt. Hope Cemetery.
