• Notes

  Emil Engel Passes Away in Kitchener A well known and popular Waterloo young man whose death will be deeply regretted by a large circle or aquaintances passed away, at the home of his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Forler, 95 Shanley St., Kitchener at three o'clock this morning, in the person of Emil Engel, son of Mr. John Engel, of Waterloo. About four and half years ago he took ill and on account of continued ill-health was obliged to give up his business of barber. For the last three weeks he has been confined to his bed. The late Mr. Engel who was in his 36th year carried on the business or barber for five years in Waterloo, the business being taken over by his brother three years ago. He took a keen interest in bowling and other sports and was for a number of years a popular member of the Waterloo Board. He enjoyed a large acquaintanceship and many friends among whom he was much esteemed who will mourn his death. He is survived by his father, three brothers, Albert and Edward , Waterloo; John of Carleton, and four sisters Mrs. Robt Decsombes, Mrs. Harry Sheriffs, Detroit, Mich., Mrs. W. Weaver and Mrs. W. Kuss, of Kitchener. He was married seven years ago and his wife also survives him. The funeral will take place on Thursday afternoon at two o'clock from the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. Forler, 95 Shanley St., Kitchener to St. Peters Lutheran Church, for service, thence to Mount Hope Cemetery. Sincere sympathy will be extended to the bereaved by numerous friends. Berlin Daily Telegraph, March 5, 1918 ______________ BARBER SHOP SOLD. Mr. Jacob Brandt, who has conducted a barber shop in Waterloo for the past fourteen years, has sold out to Mr. Emil Engel, of Waterloo, an em ploye of Mr. Brandt. The deal took place Tuesday and the new proprietor took possession Wednesday morning. Mr. Brandt has not definitely decided what he will do. Jake's many friends will miss his genial presence very much at the old stand but will be glad to know that he has a worthy successor in Mr. Engel. The new proprietor has been with Mr. Brandt for the past seven years. and during that time has made himself exceedingly popular with the general public. As a tonsorial artist Mr. Engel's ability is too well known to comment on, and the many patrons can rely on receiving the most courteous treatment at his shaving parlor. His many friends will wish him every success. The Chronicle Telegraph 23 Mar 1905, p. 5
