  • Notes 
    • Funeral Largely Attended.

      Another largely attended funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon when a large circle of friends and relatives met to pay their last respects to the late Mrs. Lydia Hollinger, who passed away on Jan. 6. She had lived here for 36 years. She died at her home in Waterloo where she and her daughter, Miss Salema, had lived for the past number of years. After a short service at her late residence the funeral cortege proceeded to St. James Church, St. Jacobs, where a memorial service was held conducted by Rev. S. J. Wittig, assisted by Rev. C. S. Roberts of Waterloo. During the service the members of the Ladies' Aid and the Sewing Circle sang very beautifully and impressively, the hymn, "Thy Will Be Done." The trio composed of Mrs. Wittig, Mrs. Harold Cress and Miss Clara Thoms sang "Nearer My God to Thee", very touchingly. Rev. Roberts read the Scripture lessons and Rev. Wittig preached the sermon. The pall-bearers were Messrs. F. E. Welker, C. J. Trapp, Geo. Steiner, Geo. Kelterborne, Sylvester Good and Byron Schwartz. Inter- ment was made in St. James cemetery on Henry Street.

      Mrs. Hollinger was born in 1859. Her husband, Mr. Louis Hollinger, predeceased her 26 years ago. She leaves to mourn their loss, 3 sons and one daughter, Norman Hollinger, Elmira, Gordon and Lincoln, St. Jacobs, and Miss Salema, of Waterloo. The community extend their sympathy to the bereaved family.
