  • Notes 
    • Death of Mrs. Krafft.

      The many friends of Elizabeth Reuber, wife of Mr. Philip Krafft will be pained to hear of her death which took place shortly after 12 o'clock noon Monday at her home, Young street. Deceased had been suffering from consumption for the last year and a half which caused her death. She was twice married first to John Seyler the fruits of which union were three children, Mrs. Chas. Conrad, William and Theodore all of whom, are still living. Upon the death of Mr. Seyler she was married to Mr. Philip Krafft one of Waterloo's old and respected citizens, in 1891, and had two children by this marriage, one of whom, a six year old daughter is still living. The bereaved husband and family have the sympathy of the community. The funeral will take place from the residence on the corner of Young and Queen Sts., on Thursday, July 26th, at 2 o'clock p. m. to the Lutheran church for service, thence to Mount Hope cemetery for interment.
