  • Notes 
    • Henry Alteman

      The jewelry and watch and clock repairing profession has an old and thoroughly experienced representative in Mr. Alteman. He was born in the town of Waterloo, where he learned his trade with the late Benjamin Bowman. After he had conducted a shop in that town for two years, he came to Wellesley village. He was then twenty-one years of age. He had an encouraging patronage from the start, being located here for a period of twenty-two years. In 1878 he was married to Martha, daughter of Mr. George Glebe, of Lisbon, the latter being now in the 80th year of his age. They had five children, all of whom are living. The mother died December 15, 1896, of consumption. In 1898, Mr. Alteman was again married, his second wife being Miss Hattie, daughter of Mr. A. B. Smith, a prominent school teacher, at present engaged at Amulree. Mr. Alteman is a careful and economical business man, and has an enviable reputation as a jeweler. He owns two fine dwelling houses, and the building now occupied by Mr. John Kinsinger as a hardware store. He is a member of the Lutheran (Canada Synod) church, and has been for nine years a member of the Board of School Trustees. He has a branch at Linwood in charge of Mr. V. R. Berlet, where watch and clock repairing will be punctually attended to. His display of watches, clocks and jewelry here is a fine one. He is an expert in his line, and his reputation for doing out repair work in a first class scientific manner is too well known to need further comment from the writer. Mr. Alteman is agent here for the Economical Fire Insurance Co., of Berlin, a position he has held 18 years.
