Kitchener Daily Record, Friday, March 18, 1927 _____________________ Mr. Hertel was born at Centreville 71 years ago, his family coming to that part of Canada from Saxony. He became a contractor, and erected barns and other buildings, becoming so well known contracts all the way from Waterloo County to ports of the Province of Quebec. Thirty years ago he retired from his business, came down to Blair, and purchased the Blair Hotel from James Ertel. This house he ran always as a first class hostelry and the hotel became one of the most popular in Waterloo county. Mr. Hertel had two recreations, hunting and fishing. He was at one time the president of the Blair Hunt Club, and for the past 32 years without a break had hunted in the far northland of the province, having in his day bagged three moose, many deer. Isaac is buried with his wife, Mary and children, Isaac, Mabel and Viola, in Mount Hope Roman Catholic Cemetery, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. The Evening Reporter, Galt, Fri.
