David Thaler of Mannheim Dies In 96^th Year Many Descendants

At nine o'clock yesterday morning, the death occurred at Mannheim, of David Thaler, in his 96^th year, after a residence in the county of over eighty-three years. Born in Germany, deceased came to Canada when a lad of thirteen years, settling on a farm in the vicinity of Berlin. When fifteen years of age, he suffered from a form of hip disease, which left him lame. For a number of years after he followed the printer's trade later returning to the farm, where he spent the balance of his life.

At the age of twenty-two, he was married to Rosina Mader, who predeceased him about forty-three years ago, dying very suddenly in Berlin. Thirty years ago he retired from the farm, living since with his sons, and later at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Joseph Hallman, where death overtook him.

Six sons and two daughters survive him, namely, John of Elmwood, Jacob of Bagley, Iowa; David of Centreville; Simon of Breslau; Andrew of Berlin; Mrs. William Morley of Listowel and Mrs. Joseph Hallman, of Mannheim. Two sons and two daughters predeceased him. 125 grandchildren, 200 great grandchildren, 50 of the fourth, and some of the fifth generation also survive.

Although past his allotted four score years and ten, the late Mr. Thaler was not a victim of many of the infirmities that overtake those of his age, and even though lame, he often enjoyed long walks, a walk of five miles in one day, not appearing to tire him greatly. His intellect was clear and his mind filled with pleasant bits of the early history of the county, that made a chat with him a delight for those interested in the early pioneer days. The funeral will take place from the residence of his daughter, Mannheim, to the New Mennonite Church, Berlin, for service and Mount Hope Cemetery for burial.

We miss you everywhere."

In India she took train trips from the southern tip to the Himalayan Mountains, rolling out her bedroll at night and sleeping with the other passengers. Closer to home, she took the train to the Rocky Mountains and a favourite destination was always Algonquin Park. Jean's gifts of laughter, story telling, letter writing, hospitality and generosity helped her develop and sustain many wonderful friendships around the world. Jean's service to others ranged from knitting dolls for charities to book keeping for church organizations to providing meals and support to many friends and family.
