WHO BUILT THE GOVERNOR'S HOUSE
By Patricia Wagner

After the creation of Waterloo County on May 3, 1852, the province required construction of a court house and gaol (jail) to administer justice. Dr John Scott, the new county warden, advertised for submissions for the project. On June 4, county bylaw no. 2 awarded the jail contract to Mellish and Russell, architects in Brantford; the cost was not to exceed 4,875. The building reached completion by December 21, 1852. Apparently the firm designed no other localbuildings.

By the early 1860s, the wooden walls around the jail yard had given way to a stone wall 14 feet high. The stone came from farmers' fields.
Crowded quarters and the need for repairs led the county property committee to advertise in January 1878 for tenders for alterations to the jail. By June, the county accepted a tender from Henry Braun, a local builder, for $5,225 and named David W. Gingerich to supervise the work in return for five percent of the fee. Alterations were complete by December. This addition was the jailer's residence, or Governor's House.

David Gingerich was the great-grandson of Abraham Gingerich and Barbara Hunsicker (or Huntsicker), who came from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1801 and settled on Beasley's Lower Block 5W, Waterloo Township. David married Catherine Hoffman, and they had four children: Allan, Richard, Phoebe, and Albert. He had an office in Waterloo. There has been no research on his life, but his architectural legacy is impressive.

David Gingerich signed a petition in 1888 to erect a new Waterloo Township Hall. He designed the old Waterloo City Hall; the former Dominion Life building on Erb Street, Waterloo; the New Hamburg Public School (1874--1958); and Castle Kilbride in Baden in 1877--78. In Elmira, the building committee of Gale Presbyterian Church in 1885 accepted Hiram Walker's tender to construct the place of worship. Gingerich appeared before the committee at the last moment and presented new plans and specifications, which represented minor changes, and the committee adopted them. The structure opened on October 18, 1868.

Gingerich had a close relationship with the tanner Louis Breithaupt in neighbouring Berlin (Kitchener). When fire destroyed the Breithaupt Tannery on Adam Street in December 1870, the two men sat down at Breithaupt's kitchen table to make plans for its replacement. Gingerich designed two houses in Berlin where Louis and his eldest child lived: Louis Breithaupt and Catharine Hailer's Waldeck (c. 1870 - now demolished), at 166 Adam Street, and Louis Jacob Breithaupt and Emma Devitt's Sonneck (1874), at 108 Queen Street North.

The County Court House was demolished in 1964, and the jail (the oldest county building still standing in the Region of Waterloo) and Governor's House closed formally in 1978. In May 1981, Kitchener designated the buildings' exteriors under the Ontario Heritage Act. The structures stood empty until the Region of Waterloo in 1999 approved redevelopment of them as a millennium project.
More historical research might uncover Gingerich's contributions to the region's built heritage. The author and her colleagues in the Friends of the Governor's House and Gaol would be happy to receive additional information about Gingerich, especially about the buildings that he designed and built.

The Friends' major project has been the Waterloo County Gaol Garden (a millennium project), which landscape architect Wendy Shearer designed. Visitors are welcome. The Governor's House and Gaol has been a feature of Doors Open since that annual event began. Be sure to visit it on September 15.

OLD WATERLOO COUNTY PIONEER PASSES AWAY

An old pioneer of Waterloo County passed away on June 18th at the home of his son-in-law, Isaigh S. Eby of near Stevensville, in the person of Solomon Gingrich at the advanced age of 90 years, three months and one day. On July 4, 1926, he had a slight stroke from which he soon recovered. On May 29th of this year he had a second stroke and was confined to his bed although able to sit up, his mind remaining very clear. On Sunday, June 17th, however, he suffered a third stroke when he lapsed into unconsciousness which continued to the end.

The funeral was held from his late home on Wednesday, June 20th, and was conducted by Eld. Jesse D. Winger, Ridgeway, assisted by Eld. Warren Winger, Ridgeway, and Bishop John Sider, Wainfleet. Then at 6.10 a.m. Thursday, after a short prayer by Bishop Bert Sherk, Stevensville, his remains were taken to the home of his son, Oliver, in Hespeler, where a short service was held at 2 p.m. of the same day, conducted by Rev. Mr. Merner, pastor of the United Church, Hespeler, thence to the Union Church, Puslinch Township, which he had always attended, the funeral there being conducted by Bishop Bert Sherk of Stevensville, assisted by Eld. Simeon Çober, Kitchener, and Eld. Nathaniel Wildfong. Hespeler. His remains were laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery by the side of his wife and parents.

All his children except one were in attendance at the funeral; also four grandchildren and one great grandchild. His daughter, Mrs. Winger, and her granddaughter, Miss Muriel Zoreb of Saskatchewan, arrived just a few hours before the funeral. He was carried to rest by five nephews and one grand nephew, Oliver, Arthur and Alfred Panabaker of Hespeler, Vernon Cober, Kitchener, Amos Hunsberger, Hanover, and Rev. Charles Hommuth, Elm- wood.

The late Mr. Gingrich was a son of Michael Gingrich and Mary Warnner, long deceased. He was born March 17th, 1838, on the Gingrich homestead, near Preston, which his grandfather, David Gingrich, received from the Crown. The farm is now owned by Orville Groh.

On March 1st, 1864, he was married to Anna Cober of near Hespeler. To this union were born three sons and six daughters, Cyrus of Stevensville, Oliver, Hespeler, and Aaron, died young, Mrs. Isaiah S. Eby, Mrs. Andrew Sider, Misses Mary Ann and Nancy of Stevensville, Mrs. Levi B. Winger, Ridgeway, Ont., and Mrs. Abraham Winger, Deisle, Sask. He also leaves fifteen grandchildren and nine great grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Magdelina Hunsberger, Hanover. Ont.. and a host of nephews, nieces, relatives and friends. The grandchildren reside at widely separated points, six living in Ontario, two in New York, two in California, two are missionaries in Rhodesia, one in Pennsylvania, one in Saskatchewan, and one lies 'neath the sod in Saskatchewan.

In 1867 he was converted and united with the Tunker church, of which he remained a faithful member to the end. In 1881 he was elected to the office of deacon.

In 1911 his wife passed away. In 1916 he sold the old homestead and on his seventy-ninth birthday moved to Stevensville to the home
of his daughter, with whom he spent the remainder of his life. He at all times had a remarkable memory and a clear mind and was highly regarded by a large acquaintanceship.

Notes:

November 9. Oliver W. Reichard, 81, dean of Elmira merchants had retired after 63 years of business. In January 1948 fire destroyed his business building. At 69 when most men would have thought of retiring, he rebuilt and continued in business until July 1960. The Mennonite people, with whom he had done business for many years, held a "clean-up bee" to remove the rubble, and all Mr. Reichard could do for them was provide a dinner at the hotel.

Born on a farm near Fordwich, Mr. Reichard told how his father, as well as being a farmer, had been a preacher for the denomination known as "Tunkards or River Brethren". There had been a little church on the home farm. Mr. Reichard started work in a Baden general store at $40 a year, plus bed and board. When he was married he made $8 a week. He was a charter member of Wesley United Church, of which he was an elder. He also served with the High School Board, the Library Board, the Chamber of Commerce and the Independent Order of Foresters.
