    • DEATH OF MRS. STREICHER

      There passed away one of the very early settlers of this district in the person of Annie Gella Wettlaufer, widow of the late Jobst Streicher, her death occurring early on Sunday morning in her 84th year, after a comparatively short illness. Deceased was born in Kreis Zinganheim, Province of Kassel, Germany. She came to Canada in 1848. In that same year she was married to Mr. Streicher and the two settled at once on the farm now occupied by her son Jacob, living continuously there until her death. Her husband passed away in 1887. She was a consistent Christian and was one of the original members of thy Wellesley (Miss) Lutheran church. Her remains were interred in the cemetery of this church yesterday in the presence of a large concourse. She leaves a family of seven children: Mrs. Geo. Hohl, Lisbon; Mrs, Geo. B. Lichty; Jacob Streicher, on the homestead; Andrew W. near Lisbon ; Mrs. Chas. Miller, Wellesley ; Mrs. John Lanz, near Ratzberg; and one died in childhood. She also has 34 grandchildren and six great grandchildren all living within a short distance of Wellesley.
