  • Notes 
    • CHARLES S. SMITH.

      Among Heidelberg's popular and well known citizens this gentleman is entitled to a prominent position. He was born in the Province of Hesse, Darmstadt, Germany, in 1850. In 1861, then only eleven years of age, he came to Canada with his parents. In 1869 he went to the United States, where he was employed at his trade. Prior to this he had served an apprenticeship with George Fisher, of Drayton. He established his present business here in February, 1877, and his efforts have been crowned with success. He was married in 1872 to a Miss Kinzel, also a native of Hesse Darmstadt, Germany. They have had nine children, all of whom are still living. Oscar, one of the sons, has a shoe shop at St. Jacobs. Catherine is the wife of Enos P. Bowman, a well-to-do miller, of Thorold, Ont. Mary is an employee of one of the Berlin factories. The rest of the children are living at home. Mr. Smith's father, the late John Smith, was a well known citizen of St. Jacobs. The subject of this sketch is closely identified with the best interests of Heidelberg, especially in the religious welfare of the village. In the latter capacity his services have been most conspicuously in evidence during the recent remodeling of the Lutheran church, of which he has long been a member, being at present a trustee of that body. He is also identified with its educational interests and has been a member of the Heidelberg School Board. Mr. Smith, in addition to making boots and shoes to order and repairing, keeps constantly on hand quite a large stock of ready- made footwear of the latest and best manufacture. His establishment - store, shop and residence combined - is a substantial brick affair, and can be classed with the most valuable real estate of the community.
