• Notes

  The death occurred yesterday afternoon of a well known citizen of town in the person of J. R. Linder the deceased being in his 59th year. The past eight months the deceased has been confined to the house suffering with cancer and while he showed improvement at times death finally intervened. The late Mr. Linder has been a resident of town for some years [and he] followed the occupation of mason. To mourn his death there are left the sorrowing widow, three sons, William, Ephraim and Edward of town, five daughters, Mrs. J. Harris, Detroit, Mrs. T. Wettlauffer and Mrs. E. Clutterbuch, of town, and Marguerite and Edna at home. Deep sympathy is extended the bereaved in this their hour of sorrow. The funeral will take place from his late residence 109 King street south on Tuesday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock to Mt. Hope cemetery for interment. The Kitchener Daily Record 8 Jan 1923 pg 2 ______________________ Leg Amputated It has been reported in Elmira on Thursday that Mr. Jack Linder, better known to his many Elmira friends as Jack the Ripper, of Waterloo, and formerly of Elmira had his right leg amputated above the knee at the Kitchener and Waterloo hospital on Thursday. Mr. Linder has ben reported seriously ill for some time and at one time all hopes for his recovery were given up but he seemed to rally about the last hour. This new calamity which befell him and which was the cause in the loss of his right leg was a complete surprise and shock to all who knew him. The hope of his friends in Elmira is that he has a speedy recovery. Kitchener Daily Record Fri, Nov 03, 1922 Page 8
