  • Notes 
    • Mrs. Michael Dreisinger

      The death took place at Conestogo on Friday last of Mrs. Michael Dreisinger, a respected resident of Elmira, after a few days' serious illness. Death came somewhat unexpectedly at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Herbert Huehn. Mrs. Dreisinger had been ailing for some time and as her illness became more acute about a month ago she went to the home of her daughter. For several days previously she had been critically ill.

      The late Mrs. Dreisinger, who was in her 70th year, whose maiden name was Emma Hollinger, was born in Woolwich township on March 25, 1863, being the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Hollinger.

      On May 13, 1884, she was married to Michael Dreisinger, of Woolwich township and their union was blessed with two children.
      Following their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Dreisinger resided on a farm between Elmira and St. Jacobs, from which they later moved to Elmira, ra siding here for the past thirty-two years.

      Besides her husband, there survive. one son, Alvin, in Elmira and one daughter (Irene) Mrs. Herb Huehn of Conestogo, also two grandchildren, one brother and one sister, Mr. Ro- land Hollinger of Alds, Sask., and Mrs. David Miller in St. Jacobs.

      The late Mrs. Dreisinger had been a faithful member of St. James Lutheran church, Elmira, and a member of its Ladies' Aid.
      The funeral took place from her late home on King Street, Elmira, on Tuesday afternoon, to St. James's church, where service was conducted by Rev. L. H. Kalbfleisch and the re- mains were afterwards interred in St. James's cemetery.
