    • Mrs. Henry J. Wilker

      The death of Mrs. Henry J. Wilker, Waterloo St., occurred in St. Mary's Hospital, Kitchener, early Monday morning, after an illness of two months. Mrs. Wilker, who before her marriage was Lydia Jane Facey, was born in East Zorra, on Aug. 11, 1888, a daughter of Mrs. Robert Facey of Tavistock and the late Mr. Facey. On Nov. 11, 1914, she was married to Henry J. Wilker and they resided on a farm in Blandford township. She and her husband moved to New Hamburg about twenty-five years ago. They returned to their farm for about four years, taking up residence again in New Hamburg, only last fall. The late Mrs. Wilker was a member of St. Peter's Lutheran Church here. Besides her husband she is survived by three sons, Robert, Bright; Walter, Forest; Edward, Tavistock; two brothers, John Facey, Bright and William Facey, Tavistock; one sister, Mrs. Laura Sippel of Tavistock, and two grandchildren. A daughter, Laura Marie, predeceased her. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon, with a private service at the house, followed by public service at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Rev. H. Voege, pastor, officiating. Burial was made in Riverside Cemetery.
