    Notes:

    John R. Stauffer, "youngest son of Jacob and Fannie (Reesor) Stouffer, and grandson of John Stouffer, was born and raised near Markham Village, York County, Ontario. When a young man he followed farming until 1881. In fall of the same year he came to Berlin where he was engaged in the J. Y. Shantz & Son button factory for several years. After leaving the Shantz button factory, he, in partnership with Mr. Chas. K. Hagedon, commenced to manufacture covered and rim buttons. They were the only manufacturers of this class of buttons in Canada. They dissolved partnership, April 16th, 1895, Mr. Stouffer taking the button business alone. We have copied the following from the Daily Record of Berlin which gives the public an idea of Mr. Stouffer's business qualities and his popularity as a citizen of Berlin: 'For nearly eight years Mr. Stouffer's name has been before the Canadian trade as a manufacturer of covered and rim buttons. During that time he has built up a good trade for special buttons of this kind and has the distinction of being the only manufacturer of this class of buttons in Canada. Of these button lines he is especially proud and with good reason, for he makes covered and rim buttons, which for material, workmanship and finish cannot be excelled, and the goods find a market over the whole dominion, from Halifax to Vancouver. Mr. Stouffer manufactures for the wholesale trade only and from the strong and durable class of goods supplied he is enjoying a large and increasing trade. Personally Mr. Stouffer is popular as a business man and a citizen. He is well posted and has a fund of good common sense and sound business judgment. Being still a comparatively young man he is likely to witness a wide development of the business of which he is proprietor and to meet with good monetary success which the public will unite in wishing him'. On December 30th, 1886, he was married to Anna Maria, daughter of Samuel B. and Rebecca (Fried) Schneider. She was born June 23rd, 1866. They reside on Queen Street West, Berlin, and have a family of two childrenn, namely: Laura and Mabel."

    Notes:

    GALBRAITH, Margaret Alice (nee Wismer) Margaret passed away peacefully at St. Mary's General Hospital, Kitchener following a brief illness, on September 7, 2011, in her 88th year. Predeceased by her loving husband Bill in 1995, her dear parents Edward and Alice Wismer (nee Stouffer) of Kitchener, her beloved brother John of Hamilton, and parents-in-law Will and Verna Galbraith of Wingham. Greatly missed by son David of Hamilton, daughter Julie and son-in-law John Becker, granddaughter Andrea and grandson Jake, of Waterloo, and sister-in-law Betty of Hamilton. Margaret will be missed by her many cousins, nieces and nephews, and by her large circle of friends. Margaret was born in Kitchener in 1924. Graduating from Special Commercial at KCI in 1942, she did "war work" assembling gas masks at Kaufman Rubber, worked in the office at Kaufman Lumber and then returned to KCI to work in the office there in the 1940s and 1950s. She stopped working when her family started to grow, but enjoyed university night courses into the 1970s. She was an avid reader, enjoying historical dramas, mysteries and romance. Margaret cherished her closest friends and started playing bridge with them in the 1940s. Bridge gave way in the 1980s to birthday luncheons that continued until recently. She loved the Kitchener area and also the cottage at Lurgan Beach, where she formed many close friendships. Attending Trinity United Church in Kitchener, where she met Bill, Margaret moved to Emmanuel United in Waterloo in the 1990s. She also volunteered at the Zion United Church Resource Centre. Very proud of her deep Pennsylvania German roots, she volunteered for several years at the Joseph Schneider Haus Museum and enjoyed talking about her grandmother Annie Maria Schneider, who was born in the house in the 1860s. In 2009 Margaret moved to Sunnyside Home in Kitchener. She was very fond of the staff and her fellow residents at Riverside and Castle Kilbride Houses. She, and the family, deeply appreciated the support and compassion of everyone there. The family would like to express our deepest appreciation to the paramedics and medical staff of St. Mary's Hospital who provided us all with loving support during Margaret's last days. At Margaret's request, cremation has taken place. Everyone is invited to visit with the family from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday September 13th at Erb & Good Family Funeral Home , 171 King St. S., Waterloo. A celebration of Margaret's life will be held in the chapel of the funeral home at 2: 00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 14th, followed by a reception. In lieu of flowers the family request donations to the Lung Association in Margaret's memory, and they may be arranged through the funeral home at 519-745-8845 or www.erbgood.com
