    • William Dotzert Passed Away

      The sad death took place this morning at 5.30 a.m. of William Dotzert, aged 59 years, 9 months and 23 days. The deceased was born in North Easthopo and was will and favorably known. For a number of years he carried on a teamster business in Waterloo, later being employed in the G.T.R. freight sheds up to a few months ago when he was forced to lay off work. He gradually became worse and his death was not unexpected. To mourn his sad demise he leaves a sorrowing widow; 3 daughters, viz., Adeline, Alberta, Luella, Alma and Mrs. Gordon Raymond (Kitchener), and 3 sons, Harold at home, Edwin, (Breslau), and Clayton with the 118th Batt. in France. One brother, David Amulrie, and 6 sisters, Mrs. Studen, Ohio; Mrs. Bucher, Ohio; Mrs. Kleinkneclit, New Hamburg; Mrs. Roth, New Hamburg; Mrs. Rock, Lisbon, and Mrs. Yost. Kingwood, also survive. The funeral will be held from the residence, Foundry Street, on Saturday, July 7th, at 2.30 p.m. to Mt. Hope Cemetery for interment.
