      Death of Wm. Hemmerick. There died on Wednesday morning, Jan. 25, at his residence in Conestogo, William Hemmerick, from heart failure. He was 63 years of age. Mr. Hemmerich had been in his usual health and on the day previous to his death drove over to his farm to see his two sons William and John on business, returning home the same evening. He was a practical farmer, and full of energy. He moved onto his present farm nearly 20 years ago but retired about 4 years ago and moved to Conestogo. He also took an active part in the formation of Victoria school section No. 28 and served as a trustee for two terms. His farm adjoins the school.
