    Notes:

    For the second time within several months did the Grim Reaper Death call at the home of Mr. Byron Schwartz, when, on Sunday morning his beloved wife, (nee Eliza Lederman), passed away after a month's illness with Bright's disease, at the age of 44 years, 1 month and 3 days. Deceased, who had been living here for a number of years, had, by her genial disposition, her pleasant and winsome ways, made many friends who sincerely regret to learn of her passing away while yet in the prime of life. There are left to mourn the death of a loving wife and mother, her husband, 3 daughters and 2 sons, namely, Evelyn (Mrs. A. Holm) of Kitchener; Violet, of Waterloo; Roxie, Willard and Harvey at home, also her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Lederman, of Baden. Four brothers Charles of New Hamburg, William of Conestogo, Harry and Alex, of Baden, and two sisters, Mrs. Amos Leach, of Walkerton, and Mrs. Robert Knarr, of Conestogo, also survive. One daughter, Ruby, died last summer and one son also died some years ago. The funeral took place last Tuesday afternoon from her late home to the Methodist Church, where services was held, after which burial took place at the M. B. C. Cemetery here. The bereaved family will have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in their affliction.

    Notes:

    A bright young life was brought to an early close by the death on Wednesday evening, last, of Ruby May, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Byron Schwartz. Deceased was taken ill about seven weeks ago with appendicitis, for which she underwent an operation. Apparently she had recovered fairly well, when a second operation became necessary, a few days after which she began to fail and sank steadily until death relieved her of all earthly ills and pains on Wednesday evening. She had reached the age of 11 years, 7 months and 9 days.

    She was of a bright and cheerful disposition and will be sorely missed by her many young friends, as well as by her bereaved parents and her brother and sisters, who have the heart-felt sympathy of a wide circle of friends in their bereavement.

    The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon and was largely attended by relatives and friends from far and near.

    After the service held in the Methodist Church burial took place at the M. B. C. Cemetery here. Rev. P. Webster, Pastor of the Methodist Church, officiated. Among those … [image cut off]
