  • Notes 
    • MRS. JOHN H. RUPPEL
      One of the older residents of the community, Mrs. John H. Ruppel, passed away on Saturday at the home of her son C. P. Ruppel, 72 Arthur St., after a lengthy illness. Mrs. Ruppel was 88 years of age.

      A native of St. Jacobs, the deceased woman was the former Caroline Kress, daughter of the late Anthony and Eva Kress of that village.

      She was married in 1877, and with her husband took up residence in Elmira, where they lived to celebrate their diamond anniversary in 1937. Mr. Ruppel died in 1940. The marriage was blessed with 11 children, ten of whom survive.

      Mrs. Ruppel was a lifelong member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church and of the Ladies' Aid Society.

      Five sons, C. Percy, Louis J. and Norman of Elmira, Walter of Preston and Arthur of Waterloo; and five daughters, Mrs. Charles (Nettie) Klinck and Mrs. Alvin (Lauretta) Brubacher of Elmira, Mrs. Max (Lilian) Herz of Waterloo, Mrs. Otto (Rosetta) Lossner, Bunceton, Miss., and Mrs. Ben. (Florence) Schultz, Decatur, Ill., are the survivors. There are also 31 grandchildren and 45 great-grandchildren. One daughter, Stella, died at the age of 20. One brother, Dr. Daniel Kress, of Orlando, Fla., also survives.

      The funeral was held from the Dreisinger Funeral Chapel to St. Paul's Church on Tuesday, at 2:30 p.m. and the service was public. Rev. F. Malinsky officiated and interment was made in Elmira Union Cemetery.
