• Notes

  Deaths On the 6th of this month, Michael Blesch, of Waterloo, died at the age of approximately 34 years. The deceased was called from here quite unexpectedly. He had been somewhat indisposed for a short time and needed medicine, but still was able to get around and do some light work. On the evening of this day, his wife had a lamp to light for him and she went out the door with it to fetch water at the closest pump. When she returned, he was lying on the floor, gasped a few more times for air, after which it was all over with him. Besides his wife, he is survived also by two small children. 1aDER DEUTSCHE CANADIER - February 9, 1849 (page 2, column 5) ____________________________ Michael is reportedly born in Oberseebach, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France, documentation needed.
