    • DEATH OF A FORMER WOOLWICH RESIDENT

      An aged resident of Waterloo passed away Tuesday morning last week in the person of Yost Stroh. Deceased was born in Germany, coming to Berlin only 13 years old. After living in Berlin 26 years he moved to Woolwich Tp., living next to Balsam Grove school. Here he lived 45 years, having a few acres of land, and working among the farmers when not occupied at home. He was also caretaker of the school there for many years, in fact as long as the writer's memory carries him back. Two years ago he moved to Waterloo and has since resided with his daughter, Mrs. Abram Metzger. His wife predeceased him 25 years. There survive him three sons, Conrad, Grand Rapids, Mich.; Henry and John, Wallenstein, and five daughters, Mrs. Vincent, Barryton, Mich.; Mrs. John and Mrs. Michael Ott, Berlin; Mrs. Geo. Dahmer and Mrs. Metzger, Waterloo. The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon and several of his Woolwich friends went to do him a last honor.

      ____________________

      King Street, Kitchener

      Cedar to Albert Street.

      At the corner Enoch Ziegler's carriage factory, a good-sized and well-known shop which continued for many years.

      A brick building, one story and a half, lengthwise with King Street, occupied by Yost Stroh as shoemaker shop and dwelling. Later this was made into a two story building.

      Next an open space,

      A two story frame building, crowned with a bell tower, with a boiler house and engine in the rear. The bell is said to have been cracked on a New Year's night by too violent ringing. In any event its sound was impaired. The building as a factory was at one time operated by Cornell & Bowman. It changed tenants from time to time and occasionally was idle. In 1867 Henry Strieker used it as a woolen mill and William Simpson used it at one time. The building was unpainted. It was eventually destroyed by fire.

      Another factory building with gable toward King Street and a one story veranda in front.

      A two story brick dwelling, well back from the street, occupied by A. H. Mowat, general agent and Deputy Clerk, He was the father of Jim Mowat, known as Moses Oates and, as a weather prophet, active on the Toronto Globe for some years. Jim Mowat was a school mate of Jacob Stroh at the Central School. He published almanacs and was known throughout the province.
