  • Notes 
    • George Israel

      Following a week's illness, George Israel passed away on Friday in his 84th year at 31 Irvin St., Kitchener. He had been a resident of Kitchener for 22 years, formerly residing on a farm near Strasburg. The funeral was held on Monday.

      Waterloo Chronicle, 29 Apr 1926, p. 5

      ______________________

      Crossing over the woods and fields via a private road we soon found ourselves with Mr. George Israel the man who usually supplies the townspeople with such excellent apples, but this year for the first time he is short. Thinking that there would be more money in pork than feeding cattle for export, he erected a large and model piggery which will hold a hundred pigs easy, well and cistern are inside the building so when feeding he does not need to go out for water. The prettiest lot of pigs you would wish to see were frisking about in the abundant straw in the stables, the thermometer registering zero outside yet the stable was nice and warm. We must class Mr. Israel as well as Mr. Wangeline two of our model farmers, as they never kick about hard times but if one thing don't pay they try an other, thus in the end they always succeed.

      VISITOR.
