• Notes

  Flash from the Past: New Dundee's story lives on in Kavelman's photos Herman Kavelman was a shopkeeper, fire chief, librarian, clock repairman ... and photographer .... Every community should have had a Herman Kavelman. Luckily for New Dundee, Herman spent most of his life in that Wilmot Township village. He was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, in July 1882 on the eve of the family's departure for Canada. A few years later, Gottlieb Bettschen was erecting the Jubilee Block in New Dundee, named to honour Queen Victoria's 50th year on the throne. Over the first 20 years, several merchants sold dry goods and groceries from Bettschen's building - including Joseph U. Clemens, Jacob Kriesel and Alvan C. Clemens. In 1899, Kriesel hired a 16-year-old apprentice who, 11 years later, had not only married Jacob's sister, Millie May, but purchased the business.... rych mills Mills, R.
