    • MR. P. GLEISER PASSES AWAY IN HIS 76TH YEAR

      Another of Waterloo's well-known and highly respected residents passed away suddenly at his home, 14 Young St., at 1.45 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, in the person of Mr. Peter Gleiser in his 76th year. Deceased was enjoying splendid health and was able to be at his work at the Mutual Life until about a week ago when he suffered from a slight cold and was confined to his house for the past few days. On Tuesday noon after paryaking of a hearty dinner he laid down to rest and a few moments later expired, death being due to heart failure.

      The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon at two o'clock from his residence, 14 Young St. for service after which interment will take place in Mount Hope cemetery.

      Deceased was the son of the late George Gleiser and was born in Waterloo where he lived all his life. He was a valued member of the staff of the Mutual Life for thirty-seven years. He was married 54 years ago to Mary Schmidt of Elmira. Mr. and Mrs. Gleiser celebrated their golden wedding four years ago at which the members of the family were present. The union was blessed with twelve children, seven of whom survive, namely: George, Tena (Mrs. Hy. R. Miller) of Waterloo, Alonzo, Buffalo; Annie (Mrs. James Nichol), Chas.. Nelda (Mrs. Jos. Granger) of Toronto; Elizabeth (Mrs. David Lippert) Waterloo: also his beloved wife, three sisters, Mrs. Julius Germann and Miss Catharine Gleiser, Waterloo. and Mrs. John Seyler of Palmerston; one brother, Henry Gleiser, of Edmonton, Alta.; and 23 grandchildren, one of whom is married, Mrs. Walter Witthuhn of Galt.

      The family will have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends in their bereavement.
