Death of Owen Oberholtzer
Yesterday we announced the serious illness of Mr. Owen Oberholtzer of Mossboro and today it is our sad duty to record his death. He passed away at 11 o'clock, Wednesday. The immediate cause of his death being heart failure. He was in his 59th year and was a man greatly respected for his upright character and neighbourly qualities.
Besides carrying on a successful farming business he was at times engaged in several manufacturing concerns and died wealthy, being worth, it is estimated, about $75,000. He leaves a wife and four children, a son , Abram, and three married daughters, Mrs J. H. Sheppard, Mrs. H. Ward and Mrs. J. Bingeman, to mourn his death. The funeral will take place on Saturday next (29th) from his late residence to the Bloomingdale Burying Ground. In him passed away one of the early settlers of Waterloo County.
