      The funeral will take place on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence Albert St, to St. John's Lutheran Church for service thence to Mount Hope Cemetery for interment. The late Mrs. Pfaff was born in Baden, Germany, on February 15th. 1834, and came to Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1853 and two years later to Waterloo. In April 1855 she married George Pfaff who predeceased her on the 6th October 1906. Their union was blessed with six children, five of whom survive, namely George Milverton; John, Bad Axe, Mich.; Annie, (Mrs. Henry Liphardt); Guelph; Mary (Mrs. Christ Lenz), Waterloo and Adam of Guelph. Also 18 grandchildren.
