• Notes

  Mrs. Lydia Strub The death occurred in Toronto yesterday of Mrs. Lydia Strub, widow of the late Urban Strub, formerly of this city. Mrs. Strub was in her 39th year. She was a daughter of John Fritz and the late Elizabeth Ziegler Fritz. Her husband, Urban Strub, who died here during the flu epidemic in 1918, was employed by The Record while it was under the old management, as pressman and also at the old Telegraph. Her father and three sisters, Mrs. Rose Manouski, Mrs. Babe Robertson and Miss Dolores Fritz, all of this city survive. The funeral will be held here Saturday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock from 439 Park street. Burial will be made in Mount Hope Cemetery. Rev. H. A. Sperling will officiate. Kitchener Daily Record, December 24, 1931 ___________________ Mystery Cloaks Woman's Death Said Injuries Caused By Car Mishap; Police Blame Unknown Assailant Toronto, Dec. 24 - The death occurred yesterday under mysterious circumstances of Mrs. Lydia Stubbs, 38, who passed away at the General Hospital yesterday. The woman had repeatedly declined to give details on what caused injuries from which she was suffering. All she would say to doctors and others was "in a car accident, hurt in a car accident", naming D'Arcy and Queen streets. Doctors said that it was unlikely that her injuries were caused in a motor car accident, and it has also been pointed out that the two streets mentioned by her do not intersect. An inquest will be held. One theory is that the woman was the victim of a vengeful "Jack the Ripper" type of assault and that she is shielding the assailant. Police investigating the case first questioned three men and heard vague stories of drunken brawls. It was thought she had been murderously assaulted during one of these. Apparently Mrs. Stubbs was hurt about Tuesday night of last week. It is thought she remained in her apartment on Gerrard street, under medical attention until Sunday. As her condition grew grave, her physician ordered her to the hospital. Doctors informed her late yesterday that there was small chance of her recovery, but she refused to make any further statement Kitchener Daily Record, December 24, 1931
