• Notes

  HEIDELBERG. Death of Valentine. The death of ex-Deputy-Reeve Valentine Otterbein occurred at his farm a short distance south of this village last Friday after a long illness, aged 75 years. He is survived by five children-three sons and two daughters, all living near the old home. Deceased was a native of Germany, coming to Canada when a lad of eleven with his parents who settled at Breslau. After a short residence there they moved to his late farm where he has resided ever since. Mr. Otterbein took an active interest in municipal affairs, was deputy reeve and a member of the county council for many years. He was also the Patron candidate for the Provincial House some years ago, but was defeated. He is also one of the founders of the founders [sic] of the North Waterloo Farmers' Insurance Co., and has been a director continuously since its organization 33 years ago. For nearly two years he has been suffering with a lingering illness, death relieving him at the age of 73 years, six months and 24 days. Public sympathy is extended to the bereaved widow and children.
