  • Notes 
    • MISS LENORA DETWILER.

      The death of Miss Lenora Detwiler came as a shock to her many friends. Though for some time she has been in poor health, it was not until the last two or three weeks that her condition was considered serious.

      Having lived in Berlin all her life, attending the Public, High and Technical schools, and for a short time having taught in Suddaby School, she was well known, highly esteemed and much loved by a wide circle in this city.

      She was an active church worker, being organist in the U. B. Church, and the much appreciated teacher of the young ladies' class until failing health compelled her to resign.

      How much she will be missed only those who knew and loved her can tell. The influence of her gentle, true and Christian life will live after her in the lives of those with whom came in contact.

      She is survived by her father and mother; Ald. and Mrs. Detwiler and brother, Dr. Fidon S. Detwiler of London, and two younger sisters, Mrs Milton Herner, of Winnipeg, and Miss Ethel at home.

      The funeral took place on Saturday, May 3rd, at 2 p.m. from the family residence, 105 Queen St. N.,. to the East End Cemetery.
