  • Notes 
    • Death came very suddenly, Dec. 10th, after only a day's illness, to Mr. George Maurer, senior, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Koehn, Berlin. Deceased would have reached his 89th birthday had he lived until the 29th day of this month. He was sick only one day, death being due to the infirmities of advanced age. He was born in Germany, coming to this country and living for a number of years at North Woolwich on a farm. Nearly 20 years ago, he retired from farming, making his home in Elmira. Five weeks ago he went to Berlin to stay with Mrs. Koehn. Seven children are left to mourn the loss of their father. They are: Michael of Paisley; Mrs. Andrew Filsinger, Berlin; Mrs. Henry Bolender, Elmira; Mrs. Martin Straub, Berlin; George, Woolwich; Mrs. Otto Kehn [sic], Berlin and Mrs. Chris Dreisinger, Elmira. The funeral took place on Saturday last, the remains being buried in the North Woolwich cemetery.

      Maurer. - Brother Georg Maurer was born December 27th, 1824 in Tiesbach (Diesbach?), municipality of Sinsheim, Grand Duchy of Baden and deceased December 10th, 1913 in Berlin, Ont. at an age of 88 years, 11 months and 14 days. He came to Canada as a young man, residing in Waterloo County and from this time he lived in this area. He married Luisa Bender in 1852, who went to Eternity 12 years before him. This marriage had 9 children, two deceased very young. Approximately 25 years ago he became converted, became a member of the Evangelical congregation and remained loyal to the Lord and the Church to his last day. A year ago he developed dropsy that caused his death. He leaves behind 2 sons, 5 daughters, 19 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, many relatives and friends mourning over his death. Brother M. L. Wing conducted the service at the house in Berlin and the signer at the church of Woolwich, where the funeral took place. F. B. Meyer [pastor?]
