Mennonite families suffered misfortunes, such as childbirth deaths of women, accidental work deaths of men, frequent deaths of infants and young children, and the scourges of cholera, typhoid and tuberculosis. Cholera epidemics of the 1830s especially in July-August 1834 - could be devastating. Funerals were usually arranged by neighbours and friends, but the community was so demoralized in 1834 that, as Deacon Abraham L. Clemens wrote to his brother in Chester County in 1836, "the neighbours did not go out to assist one another as in any other disease so that there was no funeral held."

Nancy Groff was married to John Bricker Clemens, born April 2, 1822, in Waterloo County, Upper Canada, he died at Rockwood Asylum, Portsmouth, Frontenac County, Canada, August 14, 1879. He had been incarcerated for four years there and was previously resident in Kingston Penitentiary. In January 1880 she married the widower, John Eby, 1814-1899.

________________

During the mid 1800's before the construction of the Rockwood Asylum for the Criminally Insane, Kingston Penitentiary was overrun with mentally ill and criminally insane inmates. To solve this problem, The Rockwood Criminal Lunatic Asylum was built on the shores of Lake Ontario, close to the penitentiary and built by the prisoners themselves. Construction began in 1859 and although it was not completed until 1870, men began to occupy portions of the building as early as 1862. Female prisoners were admitted during this time period and lived in the old horse stables that remained from when the property was a private villa. In 1868, the female inmates were also moved inside. Once completed, the asylum housed 300 patients.

This was the criteria an inmate had to meet to be transferred to Rockwood Criminal Lunatic Asylum:

1. Convicts in the penitentiary becoming insane while under sentence there.
2. Certain classes of lunatics committed to jail as lunatics dangerous to be at large.
3. Persons charged with some offence of which they had been acquitted on the ground that they were insane at the time such offence was committed.
4. Persons indicted for any offence, and upon arraignment thereof found, by a jury especially impanelled for the purpose, to be insane.
Patients wore distinctive canvas uniforms bearing the word LUNATIC. The medical goal in the mid 1800s was not to cure criminal lunatics, but rather to calm them. Chloral hydrate and alcohol were used to pacify patients, and they were also often bled. Dr. Litchfield, the only physician at Rockwood at the time, had a simple treatment plan that relied heavily upon "a pretty free use of alcohol by day and sedative by night." Treatment also involved restraints, blistering, leeching, enemas, and blood-letting.

We are called upon this week to chronicle the death and burial of Wendell Clemens. who departed this life at 11 o'clock a. m. Saturday Aug 7h, at his home, one mile north and a half mile west of Deanville, Lapeer county, after a lingering illness covering about ten years with rheumatism, but was not seriously ill till about six weeks ago when heart trouble and dropsy set in, since which time he grew worse till as above stated the summons came, but not unexpected, and the good old man was ready to go to meet the reward of a Christian life, leaving the evidence to his dear companion and children of a glorious immortality beyond the grave. The funeral, which was very largely attended by sorrowing relatives, neighbors and friends, was held from the Mennonite church at this place Tuesday, Rev John McNally, of Blair, Ont, an old neighbor and bosom friend of the deceased officiating, assisted by Rev SS Rosenburger. Undertaker Jas Black, of Deanville, had charge of the corpse. The interment took place in the Brown City cemetery.

Wendell Clemens was born Dec 28, 1823, in the township of Dumfries, Waterloo County, Ont, and at death was 73 years, 7 months and 21 days old. He was united in marriage to Catherine Unger, Nov 25th, 1845, who still survives him. There was born to them twelve children, tens sons and two daughters, eleven of whom are living as follows: Mrs Oliver Burgey, of New Dundee, Ont.; Benjamin and Jes, of Berlin, Ont.; Nathaniel of Newstadt, Ont.; Moses of Burnside, Mich.; Wendell, of Berlin, Henry, of Waterloo, Ont.; James, of Burnside, Mich.; John, of Waterloo, Ont.; Allen, the only one still at home, and Mrs Louis Bluck, of Hespeler, Ont.

Deceased was a kind husband and a loving father. During his sickness he suffered a great deal but was very patient and towards the end longed to go home to be free from pain. The end was very peaceful and he passed away as one going into a peaceful sleep. He with his companion was converted to God 46 years ago, when they joined the Mennonite church and have ever since been faithful members.

The family wish to kindly thank the friends and neighbors for kindness and attention during their sad bereavement.

Notes:

Betzner - On the 5th of November 1894, at her home near Breslau, Waterloo Co., Ont., after long suffering of cancerous affections of breast and liver, Sister Lydia, beloved wife of Jacob S. Betzner, aged 52 y., 18 d. She was a patient sufferer, and although everything that human skill could devise or affection could suggest was done, she sank gradually until at last death came and the tired body, so long racked with pain, sank to its long rest, while the soul, freed from its earthly thralldom, soared to the home for which it so much longed. She will be sadly missed in the church in which she was a devoted member, in the neighborhood, in which she was universally esteemed, and in the home, where she was a loving helpmeet, a faithful companion and an affectionate mother. She leaves a sorrowing husband and two grown daughters, beside many relatives and friends to mourn her death. Her remains were laid to rest on the 7th in the Cressman cemetery, followed by a large concourse of sympathizing friends. Funeral services were conducted by Noah Stauffer in German and David Sherk in English. The Lord comfort and sustain our dear brother and family in their deep affliction.

Waterloo County Pioneer Passes
Death Calls Barbara Snyder Wife of Noah Betzner In Her Eighty Seventh Year

On Sunday morning at her late residence on Lancaster Street, there passed away in the person of Barbara (Snyder) Betzner, daughter of the late Moses E. Snyder, and wife of Noah Betzner, one of the few remaining people who are able and competent to speak of pioneer days in Waterloo County. Although Mrs. Betzner was within five days of her eighty-seventh birthday and somewhat feeble due to her advanced age, her death was quite unexpected and particularly so as she arose and partook of her breakfast on Sunday as usual. She passed away as she wished to do in her chair and under circumstances which would bring the least inconvenience to those most dear to her.

Mrs. Betzner was the eldest of a large family of eleven children, all of whom were well known in Waterloo County, and of whom only three survive, namely Moses C. Snyder of Gloversville, N.Y., and the Misses Hannah and Lucena of Kitchener. On March 3rd 1857, the deceased was married to Noah Betzner who was brought up on the now historic farm on the Grand River opposite Doon. Mr. Betzner, who is in his ninetieth year, will have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends in this great bereavement, breaking as it does a companionship of over sixty-eight years.
The late Mrs. Betzner was the mother of eight children, three of whom died in infancy, the other five remaining to mourn the loss of a good Christian mother. They are Mrs. Mary Ann Brubacher, Mrs. Magdalena Shantz and Mrs. Zelinda Hallman, of Kitchener, Mr. Oliver Betzner, on the Breslau Road, and Mr. Ephrain Betzner, of Conestogo. Fourteen grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren also survive.

The funeral will be held on the afternoon of Wednesday, a short service at her late residence at two o'clock to be followed by a service at the Bethany Mennonite Church, of which congregation she was one of the original members. Internment will take place in the cemetery of the First Mennonite Church on King Streete East. The passing of this grand old lady will be mourned by many besides those of her immediate family and the sympathy of the whole community will go to those who were nearest and dearest to her.

Notes:

CLEMENS, Nelson Byron - FEARFULLY SUDDEN DEATH - A fearfully sudden death occurred in the Township of Waterloo on Saturday evening last. It appears that Mr. Nelson Byron Clemens, son of Joel Clemens, Esq., ex-Reeve of Waterloo, had gone over in the evening after tea, of which he partook heartily, to the residence of his brother-in-law for the purpose of having a talk, and while sitting in his chair chatting, his brother-in-law saw his head suddenly fall to one side, and that he was falling off his chair. He immediately rushed to catch him, and did so, but even then the spark of life had fled and not a movement or pulsation was left to show that the young man had ever existed. Deceased was not quite 20 years of age, had always been strong and hearty, and had never complained of anything which would indicate the existence of heart-disease, yet it is understood that it was of that he died. He was a general favorite in that part of Waterloo and the news of his death cast a gloom over the section in which he and his family resided. The funeral of the young man took place on Tuesday and was very largely attended, the many friends of this much respected family testifying in this way their sympathy with his sorrowing family.

The Demise of Mr. B. U. Clemens

WIDELY KNOWN CITIZEN CALLED TO GREAT BEYOND.

The community today mourns the loss of a widely known citizen, namely Mr. Benjamin U. Clemens, who passed away at four o'clock yesterday afternoon after a protracted illness.

Mr. Clemens had been confined to his home since New Years, the first affliction being pneumonia. When on the road to complete recovery la grippe set in and during the past three weeks he had been confined to his home. About a week ago the illness assumed a serious aspect from which there was to be no rally.

The deceased was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Clemens of North Dumfries, where the subject of this sketch was born. His mother, Catherine Unger, predeceased him only a few months ago at the advanced age of eighty-eight years. The late Mr. Clemens was in his sixty-ninth year. His early life was spent on the farm. Subsequently he with his brother, Mr. John U. Clemens, conducted a general store at New Dundee. But for the past forty years he has practically been a resident of this city continuously. For the past thirteen years he was on the staff of the Merchants Rubber Co., where his services were highly valued. During his long residence here he made many warm friends. His geniality, sociality and personality in general made his association and companionship a delight. Mr. Clemens also was a member of Trinity Methodist Church.

In 1873 he was married to Marian Bricker who with one daughter, Mrs. Fred Scandrett, and one grandson. Frederick John Scandrett, of Montreal, survive him. The following also survive:

Eight brothers and two sisters namely, Mrs. Oliver Berger of New Dundee: Joseph Clemens, city; Nathaniel, New Dundee: Moses, Marlett Mich.; Wendell of Breslau; Henry U of city: James, Brown City, Mich. John of Galt: Allen of Brown City Mich.; Mrs. Lewis Block of Pontiac
Mich. The funeral will be held at 2.30 o'clock on Saturday afternoon at the residence, 85 North Foundry Street thence to Mt. Hope Cemetery.

Highrise development on track on Duke Street West in downtown Kitchener

By Liz MonteiroRecord Reporter

KITCHENER - Another highrise apartment building in the downtown core appears to be on track.

The 21-storey, L-shaped residential highrise at 45 Duke St. W. will feature 137 units. On the site near Ontario Street North is a former residential building turned pub \emdash Jack Burger \emdash which is set to be demolished.

At a committee meeting on Tuesday, minor changes to the site plan were approved. In the report, city staff said the highrise development meets the city's official plan when it comes to intensification in the core area.

The building will have a total of 63 parking spaces and 45 bicycle parking spaces. It is located on the Ion corridor.

A heritage impact assessment was submitted and no concerns were issued by city heritage staff, the report said.

Committee chair Denny Cybalski said neighbouring property owners were made aware of the development and the committee was not notified of any potential concerns.

City senior planner Juliane von Westerholt said the next step is getting full site approval and a building permit.

J. U. CLEMENS.

To the farmers of the surrounding district and even in the town itself, the name of Mr. J. U. Clemens was well known long before he opened out in New Hamburg five years ago. For Mr. Clemens had been in business as a general merchant in New Dundee for many years, subsequently going to Berlin. He is a gentleman with an honorable and successful business record to his credit and enjoys a good share of public confidence in and about New Hamburg. He does a general dry goods trade but makes it a Point to have something special before the public most of the time. To this end he handles much bankrupt stock and, as these are always first class goods, his patrons get genuine and very substantial bargains handed out very frequently. Especially in shoes and ready-made clothing, of which he carries a large stock, is this true. His stock of gents furnishings is complete and up to the minute at all times. But it is in ladies' high-class shirt waists that this store specializes. Mr. Clemens is proud of his offerings in this line and truly his selection is a splendid one. Ladies of the vicinity cannot make a mistake in looking through this store for a natty, stylish shirt waist.

D W. CLEMENS

This gentleman is frequently called the "leader of the village." The term is indeed very applicable in this case for he is mainly responsible for the business life of the village, and pays out many dollars annually for labor. He is thoroughly enterprising, and would be a prominent figure in a large town. He has been operating his saw- mill here about twelve years. In an ordinary season he has turned out from a half to a million feet of lumber in a year. He does a large amount of custom sawing for the farmers throughout a wide section, and also deals extensively in shingles. He employs on an average, from ten to twelve men, and has one of the best equipped saw mills in the country. Mr. Clemens was born here in 1857, and a more popular citizen never lived in any community.

He has contrived several very convenient additions to his saw mill for convenience's sake. Among these is an apparatus for raising circular saws and setting them in position for filing. It may also be added that Mr. Clemens is a worthy member of the township council.
