A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. ________________ MRS. M. BECHTEL PASSED AWAY IN HER 72ND YEAR An aged resident of Waterloo passed away on Sunday at her home on Foundry St. in the person of Mrs. Menno Bechtel, in her 72nd year. Deceased had been in ill health for several months. The late Mrs. Bechtel whose maiden name was Isabel, daughter of the late J. Shirk, resided in Wellesley prior to moving to Baden, where she lived for sixteen years. Three years ago she moved to Waterloo. Her husband predeceased her 17 years. There survive to mourn the loss of a loving mother, six children, namely: Allen of Waterloo, Ezra of New Hamburg, Milton, Bracebridge, Miranda, Laura and Winnie at home. Also one sister, Mrs. A. Honsberger of Waterloo and eight grandchildren. The funeral took place from the late residence on Founry St., on Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, to the Shantz meeting house and cemetery two miles north of Baden, for service and interment.
