  • Notes 
    • She [Elizabeth Herber] came to Canada at the age of 3 years with her parents, Heinrich Jacob Herber (1796-1866) & Catherina Nicholi ( 1797-1834) and her brother, William. Elizabeth's mother Catherine, died shortly after arriving in Canada -25 February 1834 at the age of 36 years , 2 months and 5 days. She was buried in the then named Berlin graveyard 26 February, 1834.

      Elizabeth's father, Heinrich, was born 11 April, 1796 in Schweinsberg/Kurfurstenthum Hesson, Germany. He died 11 May May 1866 at the age of 70 years 1 month.

      Elizabeth's father went looking for someone to help raise his children. He asked a local farmer for one of his daughters to help. Heinrich married the farmer's daughter, Louise Schaeffer and I was told they had 8 children together. ...

      Elizabeth reportedly spoke only German. She never wore a coat and instead wore a heavy shawl with a bonnet. In the spring she wore a lighter shawl. She dressed in full long skirts with pockets.

      She knit stockings, mitts, hats for the entire family and in later years gave these to neighbours. Her knitting was apparently quite fancy. She had dark brown hair which never turned totally white. She regularly attended the Lutheran church. She died in her daughter's home (Mary Heimpel) in Petersburg on 3 June 1918.
