  	Glick's Hotel
  	IMPROVEMENT IN HESPELER.-We lately had the pleasure of inspecting a New Hall, built in this flourishing village by Mrs Glick, as an addition to her tavern. The building is two storeys in height, built of stone; and the Hall itself is 80 feet long by 40 in width. The Hall will be opened on New Year's night next by a Ball, at which all the world and his wife will doubtless be present. Mrs Glick is known to get up the best Balls in the neighbourhood; and she intends to surpass even herself on New Year's night next. Galt Reporter

• Notes

  "Glick's Hotel". Operated some years prior to 1854 first by Mr. Glick and later by his widow (grandmother of Abram and Charles). Later still by their mother, Catharine, who afterwards married Andreas Wehrle, father of Charlie Hespeler's wife, Lena. The Hotel was afterwards rented to George Devitt who in the years 1871-73 operated it as "The Devitt House" and in 1874, John Fields was tenant, and the name "The Fields House." Charles Glick ran it as a Temperance House, 1879-81. Le Rue De Commerce, Other Times Other Customs Other Days Other Ways, Winfield Brewster 1954 ______________ DEATH OF MRS. J. GLICK. Died in Hespeler on Jan. 29th, Mrs. Jacob Glick, sr.. in her 80th year. The funeral took place Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Glick, whose maiden name was Catherine Shermer, was born in Schwartzburg, province of Rudelstad Germany, on Nov. 26, 1821, and emigrated to Canada in 1849, settling in Preston, where she was united in marriage to Jacob Glick about a year afterwards. Mrs. G. and her husband resided in Preston for about five years and then removed to New Hope, her husband dying five years later. The union was blessed by three children, Abraham and Charles, who reside in Hespeler, and Minnie, now Mrs. C. Smith, who resides near Pittsburg, Penn. In 1858 Mrs, Glick was again married, her second husband being Andrew Werlich, now deceased, one daughter, Lena, was the issue of the second marriage. She became the wife of Charles Hespeler, and died about fifteen years ago, leaving one daughter, Wilhelmina, who has since resided with her grandmother, the deceased. Mrs. Glick resided here before the railway was built, and when New Hope flourished and surged ahead under Jacob Hespeler's regime, ahe acquired considerable property.
