  • Notes 
    • Mrs. Hy. Bolender Has Passed Away

      Death Relieved Her Suffering on Monday


      There passed away on Monday of this week an esteemed resident of Elmira in the person of Mrs. Henry Bolender. Mrs. Bolender had been in poor health for about two years before death ended her sufferings. Her maiden name was Mary Maurer and her father resided on a farm in Upper Woolwich. She and Mr. Bolender were married in April of 1878 and for upward of 12 years had lived happily as man and wife. Their first year was spent on a farm in Upper Woolwich, after which they removed to Peel Township. Twelve years ago they retired, taking up their residence in Elmira.

      Mrs. Bolender is survived by her husband, two sons and one daughter. The sons are: Edward, George and the daughter, Mrs. Fred Musselman, of Elmira. Her parents predeceased her. Two brothers and four sisters are living: Michael Maurer of Chesley and George Maurer of Upper Woolwich; Mrs. Andrew Filsinger, Mrs. Martin Straub and Mrs. Louise Kaehn of Kitchener and Mrs. Chris Dreisinger, of Elmira.

      Mrs. Bolender's funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, from the family residence on Church Street to the Union cemetery, where burial took place, after which services were held in Zion Evangelical Church. Rev. Mr. Brown officiated. She was 63 years, 6 months and 3 days of age. The late Mrs. Bolender was a loving wife and mother, who was generally esteemed for her many good qualities. Her death has called forth many sincere expressions of regret and her husband and family are being made the recipients of the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement.
