• Notes

  "We have the pleasure to notify our numerous friends and customers, that the Bridge between this and Glasgoe is now finished...Our store is now filled to overflow of all such goods and articles usually desirable in the country, whilst low prices and prompt attention to all our customers will be our chief endeaver. Tagge & Robish Deutscher Canadier 17 Nov 1847 ____________________ He (Rev. F. W. Bindeman) rode from place to place on a white horse and often cantered over to Bridgeport. At Bridgeport there was a merchant named Tagge who had just been made a magistrate and who was puffed up. One afternoon, on seeing Mr. Bindemann riding in, he said to several customers at his store-door, "Stay, and we'll have some fun with the preacher." When the rider reached the store, Tagge droned, "How is it, Pastor, that you must have a grand white horse when our Saviour was content to ride about on a humble ass?" The response came forth, "We can't do that anymore, for all the asses have been made magistrates," History of Kitchener pg 45 ______________________ DEATH OF PETER N. TAGGE Peter N. Tagge died at his residence on S. Fifth avenue, Monday night, at ten o'clock, of Bright's disease and old age. He was born at Marne, Holstein, Germany, Nov. 22nd, 1817, and emigrated to Canada in 1842, where he was a prosperous businessman for a number of years. He came to Ann Arbor about twenty years ago and has since lived a retired life. He was married in 1843 to Miss Mary Dobbins, who survives him with the following children: Mrs. Christina Gooch, of Shelbyville, MO., Mrs. Margaret Blackford of Shelbina, MO.; Mrs. William J. Miller, of this city; Prof Arthur Tagge, of the Monroe high school and John Tagge, of London, Ont. Ann Arbor Argus, Friday, 8 Jan 1892
