      New Hamburg

      Stricken with a paralytic stroke seven days ago, John Dahmer died at his home here on Friday. He was born in North Easthope Township 74 years ago, a son of the late Henry and Catherine Dahmer. He was married in 1888 and a year ago last January celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary. Following their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Dahmer moved to Pine Hill, later moving to North Easthope and in 1908 purchased the Dahmer farm on the outskirts of this village. Twenty-five years ago he retired and moved to New Hamburg. Besides his wife, two sons and three daughters survive. They are: Milton E., of Tiverton and Wesley J., of Galt, (Barbara) Mrs. George Clair of Waterloo, (Clara) Mrs. Edward Lederman of Kitchener, (Elmina) Mrs. Wilfred Hesse, of Stratford. One sister, Mrs. George Voll of Elkton, Mich., 20 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren also survive. The funeral was held Monday to the Evangelical Church for services in charge of Rev. J. B. Dengis assisted by Rev. K. Gretzenger of Oetzel's church and Rev. A. E. Pletch of Crediton. Burial was made in the
      cemetery a mile and a half north of Baden.
