• Notes

  Death has again entered our midst and claimed one of our sturdy and well beloved pioneers in the person of Mr. Frederick Holzschuh, who died on Sunday, Sept. 27th. Although he had been ailing for the last year, he had been somewhat improved for the past few weeks, and it was a great shock to many friends to hear that he had passed to the Great Beyond, while sleeping in his chair - silently and without a struggle, the end came. The deceased was born in Wilmot Township in 1847. In 1873 he married Miss Margaret Oswald, of Elmira. Since that time they have lived on the farm on which he died. The union was blessed with four sons and five daughters. The eldest son died when a boy of eleven years. Noah lives on the homestead, Edward at Dorking, albert at Beverley, Sask., Mrs. John Goodwin, Mrs. James Baty and Mrs. Wm. Baty all in this neighborhood, Mrs. J. Talore, Toronto, and Mrs. A. Bigam in the United States. He leaves also one brother, Samuel Holzschuh, and twelve grandchildren. The deceased was a Conservative in politics, and a member of the Lutheran church at Hesson, and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. The funeral was held on Saturday morning. Rev. Mr. Hystop, of Glenallan, conducted the service at the house. The cortege followed by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and neighbours, then proceeded to Linwood where service was held in the Lutheran church by Rev. Mr. Reble. The pall-bearers were: - W. Allingham, M. Lavery, H. Koelln, Wm. Mosser, C. Foell and Mr. Roscor. The floral offerings were very pretty being a wreath from the family and one from his brother. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the widow and family, who have lost a kind help-mate, and a loving and wise father. Elmira Signet Oct 8 1914 pg 3
