  • Notes 
    • An Aged Resident Answers Final Call

      Mr. Henry S. Lang, Who Had Reached Advanced Age of Over Eighty-One, passed away peacefully.

      The final summons came this morning at an early hour and removed from life's sphere of action one of the oldest and most honored citizens in the person of Mr. Henry S. Lang, of 87 South Cedar street. While Mr. Lang had not been seriously ill for any length of time, his advanced age made it difficult, for some months back, to take his accustomed walks, which covered miles and he was more or less confined to the house. About three weeks ago, his strength failed him and he became weaker, and this morning, he fell asleep in Jesus. Mr. Lang was one of the oldest and best known citizens in Berlin. He was born in Schoenenberg, Rhein-Bayern , Germany, March 18, 1834. He was a son of Carl Lang, and at the age of 18, he came to Canada with Mr. Louis Boehmer. The trip was made by rail to Hamilton, where they secured a team and made the overland trip to Preston. They arrived there September 22, 1853, and their home with Mrs. Kress, a sister of Mr. Lang. Soon after he came to Berlin, securing employment with Mr. Henry Boehmer on a farm two miles from Berlin. While here, he learned the cooper trade, remaining three years. In company with his brother Peter, they secured a farm near Twin Bridges, where they remained three years.

      ESTABLISHED BRICK BUSINESS

      In 1875 he established a brick yard on his farm. In 1880 he moved to Bloomingdale, where he continued the brick business for seven years. He later moved to what is now 56-58-60 South...
