• Notes

  Mrs. Wiffler, whose maiden name was Allemang, had three children; Charles who learned the Waggon Making trade, Catharine who married Gideon Ochs and Elizabeth who never married, but for many years worked as a seam-stress. By that I mean she went to a house where the Ladies had materials they wanted made up into dresses; and her work was, in the main, with the top notch families in the district hereabouts. She made, for instance, most of the gowns for the daughters of Jacob Hespeler, and she kept little bits of pretty-much all the nice materials she worked with and years after when Minnie Ochs, her Niece, was building a crazy patch quilt, Aunt Lizzie brought her down a lot of these patches and went over them telling what dress this was from, that this other patch was of the dress that Miss Hespeler wore to someone's wedding, etc. All that sort of history. It must have made a fine afternoon of it for Minnie. Le Rue De Commerce, Other Times Other Customs Other Days Other Ways, Winfield Brewster 1954 ___________________ 1861 finds young Charles Wiffler conducting a waggon shop on Queen Street on property owned by his step father, Joseph Oberholtzer, probably on the present D. W. & W. property which Mr. Oberholtzer then owned. In 1862, Charles Wiffler and Joseph Oberholtzer appear as owners of an acre and a half of land on the easterly side of Cooper Street, south of Queen, where Wiffler built, I believe, the stone Blacksmith shop - certainly the Waggon shop which he operated until he died in 1865.
