  • Notes 
    • FORLER - In Wellesley village, on Thursday, Jan. 10th, 1901, Mary Koch, wife of Mr. Jacob K. Forler, aged 62 years, eight months and one day.

      The death of Mrs. Forler, early last Tuesday morning, although not unexpected, created a profound sensation of sorrow in this village where she has continuously resided for 43 years and has always been held in the very highest esteem. She was born in Neustrelitz, Mechlenberg Schwerein, Germany, and came to Canada with her father in 1854, settling at Petersburg. In 1856 she was married to Mr. Forler in Berlin, removing to this village two years later where they have resided ever since. Besides her bereaved husband she leaves a sorrowing family of ten children Mrs. Henry Duench, George, Henry, William and Emma, in Wellesley; Jon, in Wiarton; Mrs. Jas. O'Donnell, Yale Mich.; Mrs. Henry Smith, Hamstead; Jacob, Ayr; and Louis, of Detroit. All the children were at her bedside when she passed away. Mrs. Forler was taken ill in the latter part of June last since which time she has never been able to leave her bed. The funeral occurred on Sunday, Rev. D. Lochner conducting the impressive services in the presence of an immense congregation, many people not being able t get into the church. Deceased's six sons acted as pallbearers. Among the relatives and friends present at the funeral from a distance were: Mr. Chris Forler (brother of Mr. J. K. Forler) of Southampton, and his son, Alvin, of Wiarton; Mrs. Hammill, and Mr. Rothaermal, of Milverton; Mr. and Mrs. Kincaid, Newton; Mr. Jacob Hammill, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Seigner, and Mr. Alex Hahn, New Hamburg; Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Hammill, and C. Hammill and daughter, of Stratford; Mr. Pfanner, Philipsburg; Mr. Kress and Mrs. Jno. Wagner, St. Agatha; Mr. and Mrs. Peter Doersam, Pole; Mr. Thos. O'Donnell and Miss Maggie McDougall, Gudshill, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Killer, of Linwood.
