    • Harold Bechtel

      Harold Bechtel, 21-year-old son of Mr. Ezra Bechtel of Hamilton, died at Toronto on Sept. 23. He was well known in New Hamburg having been born and lived here until his parents moved to Hamilton about six years ago. He was a graduate of the normal school at Hamilton and had been a special tutor for a family in that city. He had secured a school, the work to begin the new term but was unable to accept the position owing to ill health. He was taken to the General Hospital, Toronto, about two weeks ago for observation and an operation to save his life was performed but he failed to rally and passed away. Besides his parents two brothers and two sisters remain, Robert of Hamilton, Edward at home, (Muriel) Mrs. Maer, of Hamilton and Katharine at home. The funeral was held Friday afternoon from his home. Buriel was made in Hamilton.
