      Moses Gingerich

      On Tuesday of this week death removed one of this district's oldest and most valued residents in the person of Moses Gingerich, whose demise was caused through a hardening of the arteries. He had been ill for sometime, and passed away at the home of his on Eli on the Fourth Line of Peel. He was born in Woolwich township on the Henry Gingrich farm, situated below Elmira, and was a lifelong member of the Mennonite church. Forty-five years ago, he was married to Mollie Hallman. After living for five years on the farm now occupied by Ephraim Martin, Mr. Gingerich moved to the homestead on which he resided until the time of his death. He is survived by his widow, four sons, Orias of Guernsey, Sask., Amos of near Waterloo; Nelson, near Elmira and Eli on the homestead, and three daughters, Mrs. Seranus Martin, of Floradale; Mr. A. Martin of Peel township and Mrs. Edwin Snyder of Waterloo.

      The funeral takes place this (Thurs-day) afternoon from his late home to the Menonnite burying grounds of Upper Woolwich.
