• Notes

  John Schwartz, "was born May 13th, 1853. He is married to Magdalena Israel. They reside at New Dundee, Ontario, and have three children," Eby, Ezra E. (1895). 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. _______________ New Dundee Obituary. -About the 6th inst., Mr. John Schwartz, of this place, was taking a steam engine to a farmer's place, where he intended to chop grain. While he attempted to cross a field he had to cross a snow bank and while driving through the bank the machine fell upon Mr. Schwartz, hitting him above the knee. The injured man was kept pinned to the ground for some time before it was possible to release him; when got out from under the machine it was found that the bone in his thigh was broken. He was taken home and the leg put in position by Dr. Ratz. It seemed as though the patient was doing well, until on Friday evening last, the 21st inst., when all at once he felt as though he fainted, and in less than 30 minutes he was a corpse, the end having been entirely un-expected. The funeral took place on Monday, the 24th inst., when the Rev. Messrs. Gruetzner and Eby preached to a very large concourse. He leaves a widow, two boys and one girl to mourn his untimely death. He was an industrious man, good husband and kind father, and of a peaceful disposition. This is another lesson that shows how uncertain life is, and how necessary it is to make preparations for that solemn occasion. New Hamburg Independent
