  • Notes 
    • Death of Mr. Jacob Forler

      Mr. Jacob Forler passed away shortly after 8 o'clock Tuesday morning, at his home on Queen Street, after an illness of almost three months, at the age of 37 years. The exact nature of the disease is hard to define, as it had baffled several doctors. There seemed to be a gradual wasting away, towards the end the arms becoming perfectly helpless. He suffered great pain, and during all the long days of sickness, he was unable to lie down, having to be propped up in bed. He bore his sufferings with Christian fortitude and the end was peaceful. He leaves a mourning widow, having married Sophia Reichert, who is a sister of Mrs. Peter Hymmen, about 16 years ago. There are no children. The deceased was a tailor and had been employed as head coatmaker by Mr. Geo. Bergman ever since he started in business. Prior to that time he was with the Boehmer Co. and was known as a thorough and obliging workman. He was insured for $1000 in the London & Lancashire Co. The funeral will be held on Friday afternoon from the residence to the German Baptist Church, of which he was a member, and thence to Mount Hope Cemetery.
