Aged Country Resident Dead
The death occurred at Kitchener on Monday of David Betzner, one of the oldest residents of that place. Had Mr. Betzner lived another three weeks he would have been 89 years old. He was born at Doon on Nov. 14, 1833. He is survived by two sons, David and Elias, both of Kitchener. The late Mr. Betzner's father, John Betzner, was one of the early pioneers of Waterloo County, and the latter's father. Samuel Betzner was the first settler in Waterloo County, leading the Mennonite trek to this part of the country.
