  • Notes 
    • A sign "Ice Cream" on the window of Mr. F. Goebel's store is a standing invitation in the heated season to the thirsty wayfarer to enter and partake of some of Mr. Goebel's delicious product. Should the visitor's choice fall on confectionery or fruit, he could still go away happy, for these are always kept, fresh and inviting. In the winter, oysters are served in every approved style. As a caterer in these delicacies, Mr. Goebel has a good reputation. In another part of his store, a natty stock of gents furnishings is kept. Mr. Goebel has been an honored citizen of New Hamburg for 20 years and in the retail business for the past decade.

      The late Mr. Goebel was 79 years of age, having celebrated his birthday on March 3rd last. He was born in Mitchell, settled in New Hamburg 53 years ago, when he established a woollen mill. Later he entered the clothing business and confectionery, retiring from active business about a year and a half ago. Mr. Goebel was town assessor for a number of terms. In politics he was a staunch Conservative.

      On June 25, 1884, he married Louise Kraus, who with three sons and three daughters survive. The daughters, Mrs. Chas. Ritz, Jr., New Hamburg, Mrs. Norman Emslie, Kitchener, Mrs. O. J. Kerr, Stratford; the sons, Norman, city engineer at Windsor, Harry of Buffalo, and Walter of Chicago. One sister, Mrs. Emma Koenig of Goderich, and five grandchildren also survive. Two sons predeceased him, Glenn being killed in action in the late war two days before the Armistice was signed, and William of New Hamburg, who died two years ago.

      The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon at 2.30 at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, burial taking place at Riverside cemetery.
