      Mrs. Daniel Hostetler

      The death took place at the home of her daughter in Pembroke on Sunday of Mrs. Daniel Hostetler at the age of 85 years. The deceased was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Shantz and was born on Erb's Road, Wilmot Township, where she spent her girlhood days. After her marriage she first resided on a farm north of Wellesley, but later moved to Kitchener. Her husband predeceased her eight years ago and since then she made her home with her daughter.
      The remains were brought to Kitchener where internment took place on Tuesday afternoon with services in the Penticostal Tabernacle. Quite a number of New Hamburg relatives attended the funeral
