• Notes

  Rebecca Ziegler, "is unmarried and when in Berlin she resides with her parents."1 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ___________________ It may be of interest to some of the older generation to read the names of local citizens of talent appearing in the concert programs of that era. In the eighties we find the following: Misses Weaver, Devitt, Fielding, Lamonte, Sherk, Boehmer, Harrison, Mrs. M. B. Clemens, and Messrs. H. Devitt, Noah Zeller (clarionette), Henry Hymmen, A. Breithaupt, J. Appel, PL Reinhardt, R. Chamberlain. Miss Amy Jaffray, a local soprano with considerable vocal training under Toronto teachers, sang on June 28th, 1888, in an "Academy Concert" in the Town Hall, under the direction of Theo Zoellner. Coming down into the nineties, we find Mr. Zoellner's two talented daughters, Margaret (violinist) and Emma (piano, voice, harp, flautist, xylophone), appearing with increasing frequency on his programs. Vocally, other participants were Misses Clara Specker, C. Riener, and Messrs. C. Riener, J. Hensius, Julius Zeller (flautist), Charles Ruby; as organist, Miss Anna Bean, and pianist, Miss Emma Specker. Of professional rank, two sopranos of more than local reputation took part on separate occasions in Mr. Zoellner's production of the Oratorios, namely our home born artists, the late Mrs. A. T. Boles (Detta Ziegler) and Mrs. A. B. Pollock (Racie Boehmer). Both studied in Toronto and later finished under New York teachers. From: RANDOM NOTES ON MUSIC OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY BERLIN, ONTARIO H, L. Staebler _____________________ Mrs. Detta Z. BolesThe death of Mrs. Detta Z.
