• Notes

  Stratford Man Dies Of Burns Probe Fire In Bedroom STRATFORD - Julius Pommer, 69, who suffered extensive burns when his bed caught fire June 21, died last night in Stratford General Hospital. Mr. Pommer, lifelong resident of this area, was found unconscious in his attic room bed after neighbors saw smoke pouring from a window. He rented a room at the residence of Samuel Smith, 32 Nelson St. FOUND UNCONSCIOUS Mr. Smith and other residents of the house were unaware of the fire until advised by neighbors. Fire department inhalator equipment was used in an effort to revive him, before medical aid reached the fire scene, after fire fighters found him unconscious. Actual property damage in the fire was not extensive. A mattress was destroyed and a wooden bed badly scorched. The fire was confined to the immediate area of the bed. Coroner Dr. David Gemmell said last night that decision about an inquest would probably not be announced until he had had an opportunity for a full investigation. FUNERAL SATURDAY Born in Wellesley Township Sept. 20, 1896. Mr.Pommer was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pommer. He was a former employee of the Whyte Packing Company, Stratford. and was a member of Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 8. Stratford. Mr. Pommer was of the Lutheran faith. He was predeceased by two brothers and two sisters. The body is at the Futher Funeral Home, Wellesley, where a service will be held at 2:30 p.m. Saturday with Rev. Elmer Oleson officiating. Burial will be in St. Mark's Lutheran Cemetery. Kitchener-Waterloo Record, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada Thu, Jun 28, 1962 Page 21
