      NEW HAMBURG.-Mr. Valenine Henry Zoeller, 77, well known Wilmot township farmer died at his home last Wednesday. For the past two years he had been in failing health but it was only for the last two weeks that his condition was considered serious. He was born 1876 on the farm on which he died. He was the son of the late Henry Zoeller and Catherine Veit. Mr. Zoeller was an active participant in municipal and church affairs having served on the Wilmot township council for 12 years and also reeve from 1928 to 1932. He was a past president of the Wilmot Agricultural Society, serving in 1934-35, and was an honorary director of the society at the time of his death. He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in New Hamburg and had held the office of treasurer in this church for 25 years. His wife, the former Mary Ann Steiner, predeceased him in 1931.

      Surviving are two sons, Austin, of the homestead near Wilmot Centre and Henry L. of Islington. There are also four grandchildren.

      One son, George, died in infancy. Memorial services were held at Trinity Lutheran Church on Sat- urday afternoon with Rev. Arthur Buehlow presiding.
