• Notes

  HAWKESVILLE MAN MISSING; BELIEVED LOST LIFE IN RIVER Albert Ludwig, Aged 25, not Seen Since Monday Morning; Last Seen in Row Boat. Albert Ludwig, aged 25 years missing from his home in Hawkesville since early Monday morning is believed to have been drowned in the Conestogo river. After leaving his home shortly after seven o'clock Monday morning to visit his traps across the Conestogo river he was last seen in a row boat. After he had been gone for some time an alarm was raised as it was feared he had lost his life. Searching parties walked several miles along the river but withou: result. The rising water and strong current leads people to the opinion that his boat was upset. Albert Ludwig of Kitchener is the father of the missing man and turnkey Ludwig at the county jail is a cousin. Waterloo Chronicle 19 Nov 1925, p. 4 _____________________ REMAINS OF LATE BERT LUDWIG FOUND NEAR ST. JACOBS On Saturday Menno Horst of St. Jacobs found the remains of the late Bert Ludwig, who was drowned in November when his boat went over the Hawkesville dam. Mr. Horst was fishing about a mile and a half below St. Jacobs in the Conestogo river when he made the discovery of the body. The body was found in a mangled condition and was decomposed, identification being made from the clothes and the fact that both boots were missing. Mr. Horst sent for a physician and the under- taker, Mr. Dreisinger, of Elmira, shortly after he found the body. The late Mr. Ludwig was a son of Mr. Albert Ludwig of Kitchener and on the day of his death attended the celebration of the 80th birthday of his grandfather, Mr. A. Ludwig of Hawkesville. Waterloo Chronicle 20 May 1926, p. 3
