      Death of Mrs A. Klippert

      The death occurred at 9 o'clock Saturday evening of Mrs. Klippert, wife of Mr. Adam Klippert, and one of the oldest residents of our town, aged 63 years, 2 months and 15 days. Deceased had been ill for several months with jaundice but her end came rather suddenly caused by hemmorage of the stomach. Mrs. Klippert, nee Leah Eby, was the daughter of Mr. Sam Eby and was born near Conestogo in 1839. She spent all her days in Berlin and Waterloo. She was married to Mr. Klippert in 1857. The fruits of this marriage were eight children, three of whom predeceased her. A sorrowing husband, four sons and one daughter are left to mourn her death. She was a consistent and faithful member of the Evangelical Association. Her death is the third in her fanily inside of three months, a sister and a brother having died recently. The funeral of the late Mrs. Klippert, held Tuesday afternoon, was attended by a large number of friends. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. [the rest isn't legible]..
