• Notes

  J STREBEL. It is many years ago since the enterprising gentleman above named established his harness manufacturing business. He has, by a course of fair and honorable dealing and turning out of superior work, not only built up a large trade but has made the business popular with the public. Mr. Strebel has had long experience and is an expert workman. He manufactures all kinds of harness, light and heavy, double and single, collars, etc., and keeps constantly on hand a full line of horse goods, blankets, robes, etc., in fact, everything to be found in a first class harness shop. Waterloo County Chronicle, 8 Nov 1894, p. 1 ____________ Well Known Merchant Passes John Strebel, well known throughout Waterloo county through his occupation as a harness maker, passed away in his sleep sometime early Thursday morning at his residence, 48 Cedar St. W. Deceased, who was in his 79th year, came to Waterloo from Iowa 55 years ago and served his apprenticeship in a harness manufacturing and repair shop. He continued in the work right up until the time of his death, operating his business on Erb street. Mr. Strebel had planned to retiré some time this year, however. Mr. Strebel was an active member of St. John's Lutheran Church. Besides his wife, he is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Fred Kudoba, Waterloo, Mrs. (Rev.) George Weidenhammer, Shelburne, Sask., and Miss Mathilde, at home, and five grandchildren. Remains will rest at the Letter and Dreisinger Funeral Home, King St. N., until Saturday, when they will be removed to his late residence.
