  • Notes 
    • Grandmother Ratz Departed

      The funeral of Salome Ratz relict of the late John Ratz, took place from the family residence here, on Monday afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. G.F. Brown, pastor of Zion Evangelical Church, of which deceased was a founder and constant member for upwards of forty years, conducted the service at the house. The choir of the church assisted in the musical service.

      In the course of his remarks, the Rev. Mr. Brown paid tribute to the highly Christian character of Grandmother Ratz, as she was familiarly known, who had been a loving mother both to her own and her children's children. Almost from the time she learned to read she had been a faithful reader of the Christliche Botsch and the religious organist of the Evangelical denomination, a period of 70 years. She had endured with patience and resolute with Christian courage, the larger afflicions of a long life, including the loss of her husband and seven out of ten sons and daughters. The recent death of her youngest son, David, was, however more than she could bear and her frail body was unable to resist, the attack of pneumonia with which she was seized and she slept peacefully away on Friday evening last. The remains were laid to rest in the Union Cemetery at Elmira.

      Two sons, Major (Dr.) Ratz, of Ottawa, and George, of Elmira, and one daughter, Mrs.W.J. McMurtry, of London, survive. Also one brother and two sisters, namely; Mr. S.B.

      Heist, of Kitchener; Mrs. Lydia Frey, of Elmira, and Mrs. Simon Heist, of Salem, Oregon. Twenty-seven grandchildren survive.

      A large number of friends and acquaintances from outside points attended the funeral.

      The late Salome Ratz was daughter of Simon Heist and Salome (Burkhardt) Heist, being born on Maple Grove Farm near the City of Kitchener, on Dec. 29th, 1835. She was married to John Ratz in 1855 after which they moved to a farm 2 miles west of Elmira where they remained for twenty years, when they removed to Elmira, where the late John Ratz acquired milling and other large business interests. Her husband died in 1889, and since that time Mrs.Ratz has maintained the family home in Elmira. She was most devoted to her family, to her church and her friends and will be greatly missed.
