Wellesley: Retired Business Man, J. E. Ratz, Passes Away

A wide circle of friends learned with regret of the death of one of Wellesley's highly respected citizens in the person of Mr. John E. Ratz, who slept peacefully away on Sunday afternoon at the age of 80 years. He had been in indifferent health for some time with a heart condition. The deceased is survived by four sons, Edward of Kitchener, Arthur of Stratford, Nathaniel of Baden and Lincoln of Vancouver; by three daughters Miss Addie Ratz of Wellesley, Mrs. Herb Hoffman of Milverton and Mrs. Anderson Dewar of Wellesley; also by five brothers, Jacob Ratz of Detroit, Adam of Preston, George and Edward E. of Kitchener, and Henry E., of Waterloo, and four sisters, Mrs. Mary Kaufman, Kitchener, Mrs. Tena Schmidt of Lansing, Mrs. Emma Sutter of Stratford and Mrs. John Hill of Buffalo, N. Y. 15 grandchildren also survive. The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon at the house and thence to Oetzel's Evangelical cemetery where interment was made.

Notes:

Mr. Jacob Ratz, our inventive townsman, has just completed a handsome rifle of 32 calibre, which would be a credit to any gunsmith. We have no doubt, that, had Mr. Ratz devoted his entire attention to such like in his younger days, he would now rank amongst the foremost inventors of the day - even an Edison.

Notes:

Mary Eidt Ratz was born December 14, 1856, the first of five daughters and eight sons born to Christine Eidt and Henry Ratz. Henry Ratz owned and operated a sawmill at Gads Hill, north of Stratford. He had been born during the voyage of his parents to Canada in 1828, from Hessen, Germany. When his parents arrived in Waterloo County his father, Valentine Ratz, opened a blacksmith's shop in Waterloo and his mother, Anna Gertrude, contributed to the family income by knitting items of clothing to sell to her neighbours. The first small family sawmill was opened at St. Jacobs, and then a larger mill at Gads Hill which in time was operated by Henry. As the oldest of Henry and Christine Ratz's large family, independent and practical Mary played an active role in the family business, tromping around the bush to mark the trees to be felled by the men with saws. She was also, like her four sisters, actively employed in the household: the employees at the sawmill usually boarded at the Ratz home, and there were sometimes as many as 20 men to be fed in addition to the many family members.

In 1869, a young man named Jacob Kaufman became one of Henry Ratz's sawyers, living like most of the other workers at the sawmill - in the Ratz family home. Jacob had been born in 1847 to John Kaufman and Annie Stroh Kaufman; John had emigrated from Elbire, Germany to New York some 15 years earlier, and after three years there had moved to New Hamburg where he bought a small farm; Annie arrived from Germany in 1842. Eight years after Jacob Kaufman came to work for Henry Ratz - in March of 1877, when Mary was 20 - Jacob and Mary were married. Shortly after their marriage, Mary and Jacob moved to Berlin, where Jacob established the first of many enterprises to bear his name, this one in co-operation with his father-in-law: the Ratz & Kaufman Planing Mill. Mary and Jacob's first home in the city was half of a yellow frame house situated where the large Kaufman factory at 410 King Street West was later built. During those first years in Berlin, when Jacob was establishing his business and money was tight, Mary provided room and board in their home for workers at the mill.

______________

Hill & Ratz.

Here is a firm that conducts as large a business as any other two men in the county. They have a large saw and planing mill, furniture factory and undertaking establishment. They also manufacture sash, doors, blinds, etc. In fact, they are prepared to turn out everything in the wood line required in the building of a house and furnishing it. They also manufacture cheese boxes. Their establishment is equipped with the most modern and up-to-date machinery. Their large wareroom, a short distance from the factory and saw mill, is filled to its utmost capacity with parlor and bedroom sets and other household furniture. They have probably as large and fine a display of the latest styles of furniture as you will find anywhere in the county. In the display is a bedstead that particularly attracted the attention of the writer It was made entirely by Land by one of their workmen. It is an exquisite piece of work, the carving especially showing the taste of a skilled mechanic The undertaking department is supplied with everything necessary for the proper burial of the dead. Messre. Hill & Ratz are energetic young business men, and in the course of a year turn out a vast amount of lumber and furnish the material for a large number of residences throughout this section They also have a fine trade in the furniture line They also deal in shingles, of which they sell many thousands. Mr. Ratz, who was formerly a school teacher, came in as a partner with Mr. Hill last January, has just about completed a handsome, commodious residence in the immediate neighborhood of their works. In locking over their premises I became somewhat surprised, as I was under the impression that a village of not more than eight hundred inhabitants could not afford a manufacturing industry of the extent of that of Messre. Hill & Ratz The saw mill was established by Menno Bechtel in 1876, and who also operated a steam mill. The saw mill still has a large patronage and thousands of logs are annually converted into timber.

Notes:

Alvin Ratz Kaufman

Kitchener industrialist and family-planning pioneer, died Thursday, at his home at 516 Woolwich St., Waterloo. He was 93. Controversy and criticism had swirled around much of his business and civic career, but he remained undaunted. He remained an austere, almost aloof figure, both loved for his good works and hated for his unbending stand against unions. His philanthropy extended to the City of Kitchener, the K-W, YMCA, the YWCA and his church. During his 40 years as a member of the Kitchener parks board, he donated to the city one major park, Kaufman and two small parks, Hillside and Huron. He gave both time and money to the YMCA and the YWCA and is credited with contributing most of the money for the two downtown Kitchener Y buildings. In 1968, Kaufman and his family donated a 41/2 acre site for the Waterloo Family Y on Lincoln Road. Kaufman was a member of Kitchener's Zion United Church where he was superintendent of the junior Sunday school for 20 years and chairman of the church music committee. One of Kaufman's more publicized claims to fame was his breaking of a violent 71/2-week-long strike of unionized employees during the summer of 1960. When the strike ended, Kaufman announced that strikers would not find work when they returned. It wasn't the first walkout at his plant. In 1937, a United Rubber Workers (URW) strike against Kaufman collapsed after two weeks, but the industrialist kept the plant closed for four weeks after it ended. The URW was granted bargaining rights in 1945 and for many years was not able to win a contract despite a series of organizing attempts.

Kaufman was a pioneer in planned parenthood, which he always regarded as his greatest philanthropic work. His interest in family planning was aroused by the Depression. His company had to discharge employees, many of whom had large families and pleaded for personal help. The company nurse, at his suggestion, recommended sterilization for the more desperate cases and the use of contraceptives to others. Request for family planning advice soon came from across Canada, resulting in the establishment in 1931 of the Parents Information Bureau Ltd., which still operates. Kaufman spent almost $1 million promoting birth control, both on this continent and in the Far East, and also sponsored experimental clinics in India. In 1931, he hired 75 women across Canada as social workers and offered through them free birth control information and contraceptives at cost. These activities were challenged unsuccessfully under the obscenity provisions of the Criminal Code in a celebrated court case in 1936. Kaufman was chairman of the Kitchener planning board for 39 years and also the first chairman of the K-W suburban planning board.

His father, Jacob, was one of the originators of the rubber industry in Kitchener. He had interests in both the Berlin Rubber Co. and Merchants Rubber Co., forerunners of Uniroyal Ltd. He ran the family company for more than 50 years until 1965 when he turned over the presidency to his son, William. In 1965, he was selected the eighth Citizen of the Year by the K-W Junior Chamber of Commerce and in 1973, the Waterloo county board of education named a Kitchener school after him. For many years, he was president of Superior Box Co. Ltd., now part of Domtar, and was a director of Kaufman Furniture Co., Collingwood, which he organized in 1947. Following the death of his first wife, the former Jean Helen Hutton, in 1971, Kaufman established the A.R. Kaufman Charitable Foundation. The residues of both his and her estates will go to the foundation to be devoted to charitable activities. His second wife, the former Mrs. C. Elspeth (Beth) Hall, died suddenly in 1972, after only five months of marriage. His third wife, Ruth, the former Mrs. Paul Samson, lives at a nursing home in Massachusetts. Also surviving are one brother, two sisters, one son and two daughters. The funeral will be conducted at Zion Church Sunday at 3 p.m.

Notes:

Philipsburg - An extraordinary and very sudden fatality occurred on Saturday afternoon, April 4th, when Idella, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Eidt, was on her any home from the village store. She was accompanied by one of her cousins, and had in her mouth a small wooden tube with a rubber attachment which accidently lodged in her larynx, and before assistance arrived, life was extinct. Idella was of a cheerful disposition and will be greatly missed by her school mates and friends. She was eleven years old, less ten days, and a gloom is cast over the whole community by such an untimely death. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock p.m. from her late residence to Oelzel's cemetery.
