      Death of Michael Schweitzer, of Wellesley Township, after a Lingering Illness.

      The death of Michael Schweitzer, near Heidelberg, took place this morning after a lingering illness of six months at the age of 58 years, 2 months and 16 days. The funeral will take place on Thursday, August 24th from his late residence at one o'clock to the Heidelburg cemetery for interment and thence to the Evangelical church where the services will be conducted in English and German.


      The late Michael Schweitzer was born in Ellice Township, Perth Co. and when a lad moved with his father to Mannheim, Waterloo county, where he was brought up. In 1883 he married Caroline Weber, daughter of the late Christian Weber, of Heidelberg. About twenty-three years they moved to Wellesley township near Heidelberg where he lived until his death. Four children were born to them Daniel, living on the old homestead; Mary Ann wife of John Boos near Sebringville, and John and Aaron at home. He was quiet and unassuming in manners and was noted for his strict integrity. He was a stauch Reformer in politics and a devoted and consistent member of the Evangelical church. The bereft widow and children will have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement.
