Notes:

We this week have the melancholy duty of chronicling the death of Frederick Guggisberg, which occurred on Tuesday last the 25th ult. at Toronto; where he has been, since the beginning of the year, under treatment of Dr. Hodder, for a disease of the law and facial membranes, which ultimately extended to the brain.

Coming to Galt at the age of twelve, he entered the store of Fraser & Warnock, as message and shop-boy and with plodding industry, perseverance, and application to business which characterized his after career; he gradually raised himself, step by step, to the position of one of the principal merchants in Galt. Identifying himself with its progress, he occupied the several positions, of Ensign in the Volunteers, Councilor for Ward 4, and Church Warden for Trinity Church, faithfully well. The cares of his rapidly extending business, of late, required all of his attention, and when compelled, in October last, by the disease to which he ultimately succumbed, to withdraw from the management of the "Waterloo House"; few thought that the old familiar features would never again be seen on Main street. After a lingering illness by his prolonged sufferings, gave way under a painful operation, on the morning of the 20th ult. On the Saturday following, he became unconscious and continued so to the time of his death, on Tuesday evening at half past six. His body was brought from Toronto on Friday morning, and was received at the station by members of Galt Lodge (of which he was a member), Alma Lodge and the Waterloo Chapter of Royal Arch Masons; together with a numerous concourse of friends. As the funeral cortege slowly wended its way to Trinity Church, crowds of spectators lined the way, and on Main street the shops were closed as a mark of respect. The service of the Church of England for the burial of the dead was read by the Very Rev. the Dean of Huron, assisted by the Rector, the Rev. I. Brock; and at its conclusion, P. M. Cranston read the Masonic service with the brethren assisting in the customary solemn ceremonies. Few there were who could not join with the brethren in saying "Let us cast around his foibles, whatever they may have been, the broad mantle of a mason's charity, and let us cheerfully render to his memory, the praise to which his virtues have entitled him.

"...Friday, March 11, 1864: ...Just before sundown Father and Mother made their appearance with quite a load!! Grandmother's parlor stove, cane bottom chairs, and what is more - a cradle, which by the way seems to be a great favorite with Melinda. But what pleases me most is that Father bought Grandmother's Side-Board - the old family relic, and a most a splendid one it is too. I am glad it is going to be mine, it is just the one I was always wishing to have when I set up housekeeping, which I intend before many months if all is well"

"...Tuesday, March 22, 1864: We have been expecting Uncle Bowman's and Grandmother for some days. This evening they all came with the exception of Louisa. She could not come because Grandmother and Aunt Ann came in a buggy with Washington, and Nelson had such a load of things to bring down that she did not get a seat. I am extremely sorry that this is the case. Now that they are going so far away that we don't know when we will see each other again, if ever . . . They have one car loaded. Uncle and Nelson intend leaving with the tomorrow night train. The rest intend going with the Thursday Express . . ."

"Wednesday, March 23, 1864: This morning Father drove Grand....and Aunt Ann to Berlin with their team. . . We have seen them for the last time, no doubt, before they bid Goodbye to Canada and all their friends and acquaintances. I hope they may find Michigan all they expect - that they may make a fortune in the land of their adoption. They seem glad to go, and still with a degree of reluctance, and how could it be otherwise - the land of their birth . . ."

Notes:

Roy S. Bean
Editor and Publisher of the Waterloo Chronicle

The community of Waterloo and the county was deeply shocked by the sudden passing of one of its most prominent citizens in the person of Roy Sylvester Bean, the genial and very popular proprietor of The Waterloo Chronicle. Mr. Bean came to his office after dinner to prepare his work for this issue. He disappeared for moment from his desk, and when his presence was urgently needed, he was found in the wash-room, but his work was done. He evidently bad a sudden seizure of the heart and passed away before anyone knew of his distress.

Roy Bean, as he was commonly known by his host of friends and business associates, was born in 1884 in Elmira, moving with his parents to Waterloo at a later date. He was educated in the public schools in Waterloo and Woodstock College. Later he entered business with his father. In 1922, he and his brother Clive took over the Chronicle paper and press from his father. Mr. Clive Bean retired from the partnership a few years later.

Mr. Bean was a man who was deeply interested in the welfare of the town of Waterloo and his native county. While he never sought public office, he was always pushing foreword strong men for public position and then supporting them loyally In their term of office. Among Iris business associates he was al.: ways looked up to as a man of sterling integrity and honor. His intimate friends looked upon him as a most congenial companion. In his private life the one thing that deeply characterized his life was his chummy relationship with his five boys. Among the publishers of weekly newspapers, Roy Bean was widely and favorably known. He has carried on his own paper with great credit to himself and of profit to the community which his valuable paper served.

He was an active member of First United Church, a member of the Session and Official Board, Treasurer of the Benevolent Fund, and was always ready to serve the interest of his church in every way. He was a member of the Waterloo Lodge A.F. & A.M. His favourite recreation was golf.

In 1911 he married Margaret McDougall, who survives him. He is survived by five sons, Roy M. and William M., associated with the father in The Chronicle Press, David M. interne at the K.W. Hospital, Edward in the Royal Bank, Kitchener, and John, attending the local Collegiate; two brothers, D. Alex. of Kitchener, and Clive of Toronto; and three sisters, Miss Anna R., musical director of First United Church, Miss Emma, of Kitchener, and Mrs. David Musselman, Lockwood, Sask. Funeral arrangements are not complete at the time of going to press, but will be announced later. The sympathy of the entire com• munity goes out to Mrs. Bean and the family in their sudden and sore bereavement.

Host of Friend Pay Last Respects To Roy S. Bean, Publisher, The Chronicle

Funeral on Monday One of Largest Ever Held in Waterlo. - Editor Died Suddenly in 56^th Year.

IMPRESSIVE SERVICE

Evidence of the high regress in which he was held in the community and the province was shown in the fine tribute paid by a host of friends at the last, rites on Monday far the late Roy Sylvester Bean, editor and owner of The Waterloo Chronicle.

Mr. Bean died suddenly in his plant on Thursday from a heart attack while completing his final sheets of copy for last Thursday's newspaper.

The funeral, one of the ever held in Waterloo, was held from his late residence, Albert St. The service was conducted by the Rev. E. Val. Tilton, minister of First United Church, assisted by Rev. Finlay Matheson, a former pastor, now retired and living in Kingston, Ont.

The Rev. Matheson gave the main address in which he drew analogies between the life of Moses and Enoch to that of the departed. "As Enoch walked with God and God took him unto himself, so our departed friend had been walking with God in his active life in the Christian church and now suddenly God had called him home and he thought of him now as walking on with. God," he said. The speaker paid a very warm tribute to the personal character of Mr. Bean. When he began his ministry in Waterloo their relationship was simply that of minister and parishioner but in the course of his ministry that relationship had ripened into a very warm friendship, the memory of which he will always cherish.

The Rev. Tilton began his address by saying: "We had all been so stunned by the sudden passing of our friend and loved one that it was difficult to adjust one's thinking to form a true appraisal of his life and character. It is a tragic reminder that we should all set our own houses in order for such a time as we know not of. "

These sudden deaths which are becoming altogether too common are bringing home to us all in a dramatic way the necessity for making our social and economic order more christian. The human frame is altogether too frail to stand the strain of this highly competitive order. It is altogether too costly in human resources.

Speaking of Mr. Bean, Mr. Tilton said: "There are some men who, like small stores, carry all their goods on display in their front windows, but it was not so with the, departed. He was a man of quiet reserve. While he was always deeply interested in the welfare of the community, he himself never sought public office. He sought rather to choose the strong man for the office and then to stand loyally behind him and support him in his work.

"Honesty, integrity and thrift were his dominant qualities, and these are the qualities that every community is greatly in need of at the present time. These are the qualities that he leaves as his richest inheritance to you, his boys. His sudden passing made it impossible for him to say to you what he would like to have said. May I be permitted to say to you now, what I feel he would like to say to you now, what I feel he would like to have said. First all allhe would say "carry on".

"There are some who will tell you there are short cuts to success. They will clothe these short cuts with much glamour. The true success of life are only about one per cent genius and ninety-nine per cent. hard work. I have tried to build our business around the three principles - honesty, industry and thrift. I leave to you this tradition that has been sacred to me."

Mr. Tilton concluded by saying: "You boys were his joy and his pride. Your father sought to make you his chums and to those who knew him intimately this was his marked characteristic. Therefore the most enduring monument you can build to his memory is to carry on these enriching traditions.

"Mr. Bean loved his church and served it loyally. As treasurer of the Benevolent Fund he was always deeply interested in the welfare of the needy. He always felt that the meeting of need by the handing out of some charity to meet an immediate necessity was not sufficient, but there should be some change in the whole system as would insure a decent living for all," said Mr Tilton.

The deceased was the youngest son of the late David Bean and Mary Ann Fry. All members of his family were present, including. Alexander Bean, Miss Anna Bean and Miss Emma Bean of Kitchener, Mrs. David B. Musselman (Blanche) of Lockwood, Sask., and Mr. Clive S. Bean of Toronto.

The pallbearers were Walter A. Bean, Wilfrid W. Bean and C., Aubrey Bean of Kitchener, Ellsworth Bean of New Hamburg, and W. G. Cressman of Waterloo, all nephews of the deceased, J. Maurice Scott of London, R. G. Anglin of Toronto and Harold Wilson of Waterloo.

M. Scott of London; Mr. and Mrs. M. Facey, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bean and Mr. Ellsworth Bean of New Hamburg; Mr. M. A.

________________________


Brigadier-General Sir Frederick Gordon Guggisberg, KCMG, DSO, (20 July 1869 - 21 April 1930), soldier and administrator, was born in Galt, Ontario, Canada, a second-generation descendant of an immigrant from Berne, Switzerland, the eldest son of Frederick Guggisberg, retail-goods merchant, of Galt, by his wife, Dora Louisa Willson. Guggisberg published a number of works on military topics and Africa.

Moving to England about 1879, Guggisberg was educated at Burney's School, near Portsmouth ; entered the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, in 1887, and was commissioned in the Royal Engineers in 1889. He served in Singapore from 1893 to 1896, and became instructor in fortification at Woolwich in 1897, where he distinguished himself by reforming the methods and syllabus of instruction. In 1900 he published The Shop: The Story of the Royal Military Academy, and, under the pseudonym "Ubique", Modern Warfare, in 1903.

Sir Frederick Gordon GuggisbergIn 1902 Guggisberg was employed by the Colonial Office on a special survey of the Gold Coast Colony and Ashanti, and in 1905 was appointed director of surveys in that colony. In 1908 he returned to Chatham for regimental work: but in 1910 was appointed director of surveys in Southern Nigeria .

Nigeria gave him full scope for his energies and organizational skills, and he compiled The Handbook of the Southern Nigeria Survey (1911) for the guidance of his assistants. Of this work the director-general of the ordnance survey wrote: The duties of all members of the staff were strictly defined and, in particular, sensible rules were laid down as to the relations of the staff with the civil administration. Much attention was paid to the treatment of villagers; unpaid labour was forbidden; all goods bought were to be paid for at the recognized rate, and great care was to be exercised not to damage the crops... They were model instructions and the survey of Nigeria was a model survey..

On the union of Southern Nigeria and the Northern Nigeria Protectorate in 1913, Guggisberg was appointed surveyor-general of Nigeria. In 1914 he was appointed director of public works on the Gold Coast, but he rejoined the army on the outbreak of World War I . He commanded the 94th field company, Royal Engineers, from 1915 to 1916, and was in command of the Royal Engineers in the 8th division during the battle of the Somme (July 1916), and in the 66th division from November 1916. He was brigadier-general commanding the 170th infantry brigade 1917-1918, assistant-inspector-general of training, general headquarters, France, in 1918; and in command of the 100th infantry brigade in 1918. He was mentioned in dispatches five times, and was awarded the D.S.O. (1918).

Sir Frederick Gordon GuggisbergIn 1919 Guggisberg was appointed governor and commander-in-chief of the Gold Coast. There he energetically undertook works of development and extension of railways, and created the deep water harbour of Takoradi, superseding the use of surf-boats for handling traffic. In 1923 he commissioned the construction of Accra 's Korle-Bu Hospital, the finest and most modern institution of its kind in colonial Africa at the time. During his time in the Gold Coast, as during his time in Nigeria, Guggisberg was lucky to be able to benefit from the advice of the geologist Albert Ernest Kitson, who took a keen interest in developing local infrastructures.

Close association with native Africans during his survey work convinced Guggisberg that the African races are capable of eventually attaining the development levels of Europe. Toward the close of his life he wrote: "My practical experience... during the last twenty-seven years has convinced me that what individuals have achieved, in spite of ill-selected systems of education, can be achieved by the race generally, provided we alter our educational methods". In order to carry out that purpose he founded Achimota College for the training of native teachers and instructors; it was to become the largest and most complete establishment for the education of native Africans.

The aim of Guggisberg's policy was the development of the country by and for the natives rather than for the benefit of European capitalists. In 1928 Guggisberg was appointed governor and commander-in-chief of British Guiana, but owing to failing health he was obliged to leave the colony in 1929, and soon afterwards resigned the appointment. He introduced drastic administrative reforms and devoted himself energetically to the problems of maintaining and improving the system of drainage and irrigation upon which the sugar and rice cultivation of the colony depended. He also promoted immigration and peasant settlement and the development of the production and marketing of rice. These activities were cut short by his illness and resignation in 1929. He died at Bexhill-on-Sea at the age of 60.

During his last illness Guggisberg addressed to his personal friends a remarkable letter setting forth the aims which he had had in view in his administrative work in British Guiana, his confidence in divine guidance and in the spirit of Christianity, and his hope of being able to return to Africa "to try to do some more work for the African races.... As you know", he concluded, "my heart is in Africa, and I believe that away from the trammels of the Colonial Office, there is opportunity for me to do something useful both for the Empire and for the natives of Africa."

Guggisberg was a tall and athletic figure, as a young man very handsome, and always of impressive and dignified presence. His personality was attractive and inspiring. He was for some years captain of the Royal Engineers' cricket eleven, and was a fine player of polo, racquets, golf, and football . He was created C.M.G. in 1908, and K.C.M.G. in 1922, and was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1917.

Guggisberg was twice married:

on 20 September 1895 in Trichinopoly, Madras Presidency, South India, he married Ethel Emily Hamilton Way, daughter of Colonel Wilfred FitzAlan Way, of the Northumberland Fusiliers, whom he divorced in 1904 and by whom he had three daughters

on 15 August 1905 in Staines to (Lilian) Decima Moore, the actress, daughter of Edward Henry Moore, of Brighton, county analyst. She accompanied him on his survey journeys, and their joint book, We Two in West Africa (1909), is an interesting study of a transitional phase in West African development.

In 1973 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the construction of Korle-Bu Hospital in Accra, the Ghanaian government honoured Guggisberg with the erection of a large statue, a rare tribute paid by a post-colonial government to one of its colonial governors.

Succumbs To Heart Attack At Moore Street Home; President, Board Of Trade

Suffering a heart attack at ten o'clock Sunday morning, Ald. Frederick Robert Shantz passed away at his home on Moore street shortly afterward. His passing came with tragic suddenness as he was said to be recovering from the effects of a similar shock a week ago. Word of the paasing of Ald. Shantz cast a profound gloom over municipal circles of Preston where he was popularly known. Mayor Mark M. Donald when acquainted with Ald. Shantz' s death expressed profound regret. Other municipal officers as well as N. 0. Hipel, M.P.P., expressed a note of sorrow in his sudden demise.

Board of Trade President

In the death of Ald. Fred R. Shants the Preston Board of Trade loses its president. He had been a valued member of that organisation for some years having held the chief executire office in 1931 and was returned by acclamation this year at the annual meeting in January. The late Mr. Shantz had climbed steadily in the board holding office first in 1929 when he was elected to the second vice-presidency. In 1930 he was vice-president. Of a keen progressive mind, Ald. Shantz took an active interest in the Board of Trade. He was particularly anxious that more industries should be secured for the town. One of his last acts on behalf of the board was to aid in the preparation of material for industrial publication which the board is sponsoring. Carrying his activities further abroad, Ald. Shantz was chairman of the industrial committee of the Grand River Valley Boards of Trade. In this connection he represented Preston at the various meetings of that body throughout the valley. Because of its scope and possibilities, the late alderman was particularly enthusiastic over the Grand River Valley Boards of Trade.

Alderman since 1929

As an alderman the late Fred Shantz was very conscientious. He was elected in 1929 and that year started preparation of the building bylaw being chairman of the bylaws committee. The following year, 1930, he was reelected and was placed in charge of the industrial committee of the council, a post which he has held until his death. Through the late alderman's initiative considerable advancement was made towards the improvement of the Galt-Preston highway, a project that he worked at diligently in the hopes that eventually that dangerous thoroughfare would be bettered. Only a few days before his illness Ald. Shantz had been in communication with Premier Henry regarding the highway situation and he confidently felt that the present year would see some definite steps taken as an unemployment aid. Ald. Shantz 's last appearance in public office was at the last meeting of the.town council when he delivered a lengthy criticism of Hydro administration. A lifelong Liberal. Ald. Shantz was generally looked upon as candidate for that party in the next federal election. He was nominated at the last contention the party had in South Waterloo losing the nomination to C. R. Widdifield of Galt by a single vote.

Born In Preston

The late Fred Shantz was born in Preston, son of the late Peter E. Shantz and Mrs. Shantz of Church street, on October 12, 1875 and was in his 57th year. After receiving his primary education at local public schools he attended Galt Collegiate institute and after graduation from there entered the foundry. Leaving that institution he went to Toronto where he was with the advertising departments of the Mail and Empire and The Globe between 1908 and 1914. For a time he was with the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada in Toronto and later was connected with that company in Detroit to which city he was transferred from Toronto. For some years he was in Cleveland and St. Louis. The late alderman returned to Preston in 1927 assuming the trusteeship of the P. E. Shantz estate. As a director for Preston of the Waterloo Historical Society, the late Ald. Shantz was much interested in its activities. He was also president of the Shantz Reunion held in Waterloo in 1920. One of the citizens interested in bringing the Dominion Motor Sleigh Company, Limited, to Preston, the late Ald. Shantz was Secretary, of that firm. He was also a member of the Preston Business Men's Club and on the executive of the South Waterloo Liberal Association. He is survived by his wife, who before her marriage was Bertha Cable of Toronto. Two brothers, Cyrus B. of Preston and Samuel P. of Toronto and three sisters, Mr. John G. Gardiner of Regina, Sask., Mrs. Leon Archibald of Minneapolis Minn. and Minnie B. Shantz, also of Minneapolis, survive.
