  • Notes 
    • Solomon Erb, "travelling agent for The Berlin Shirt & Collar Co., Limited, is married to Frances Warner and resides in the town of Berlin. His family consists of six children".


      Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.].

      __________________________

      Another well known resident of Berlin was removed by the hand of God this morning when Solomon Erb passed at his home on Church St., after suffering acutely with erysipelas for two weeks. Deceased who was a large strong man, the picture of health, was a traveller in the employ of the Berlin Shirt and Collar Co., and also of the Roschman Button Works, Waterloo. He was, until about 6 years ago engaged in general store keeping in Bloomingdale, at which place he was born 45 years ago, but gave that up the store to go on on the road. He was popular with those who knew him and was a member of the A. O. U. W. and it is understood carried insurance with them to the amount of $2,000. He also carried $1,000 in the Travellers' Association. A widow and seven children most of whom are small, are left to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father, and they have the sympathy of the community in their sad affliction.
