"Grand Old Man" Of Twin City Dies In 102nd Year

One of the oldest residents in Western Ontario, Jacob Oswald passed away at his home on Ahrens St., Kitchener, early Tuesday morning, in his 102nd year.

Born in Bavaria, Mr. Oswald came to Canada when he was a boy. From 1859 to 1900 he operated a blacksmith shop and hotel at Wallenstein.

The beloved centurion's philosophy on life was famous throughout the Twin City and district. "It serves no good to worry over a situation that is not of one's own making," he had often stated.

Mr. Oswald had been in excellent health until a week ago, when he became suddenly ill, and sank rapidly. It was only three months ago that countless friends and neighbors gathered to honor him on his 101st birthday. Gifts included a huge birthday cake bearing 101 candles, a towering basket of 101 roses and 101 bottles of beer from a neighbor.

Surviving are four daughters. Clara, at home, Mrs. H. Grosz of Waterloo, Mrs. Carl. Klinck and Mrs. R. E. Ritz, both of Kitchener: three sons, William and Henry of Kitchener, and Albert of Detroit.

Funeral services were held from the residence on Thursday afternoon at two o'clock to St. Matthew's Lutheran Church at 2.30 o'clock. Interment was made in Mount Hope cemetery, Rev. J. Schmieder officiating.

Jacob Oswald Passes 101st Milestone.

Looks Even Better Than He Did A Year Ago.

DOESN'T SHOW WRINKLE

KITCHENER. - In excellent health and "without a wrinkle", Jacob Oswald celebrated his 101st birthday at his home, Ahrens street, recently. The happy centre of attraction as countless neighbours and friends bearing many and varied gifts flocked in, the centurian looked even better than he did last year.

A joyous twinkle appeared in his eye as a monster birthday cake bearing 101 candles and a towering basket of 101 roses were brought into the house. He also welcomed warmly a birthday gift consisting of 101 bottles of beer from W. P. Renaud, a neighbour and manager of the Blue Top Brewing Company.

Unquestionably partly responsible for his longevity, Mr. Oswald has lived by the moral "never do anything that might inspire concern later on". In his opinion, there are two types of worry, one of which is brought upon a person by something that person himself has done, and having committed the deed that inspires the worry, he deserves to suffer.

In answer to the other type of worry, that brought on by what someone else has done, Mr. Oswald contends "it serves no good purpose to worry over a situation that is not of one's own making".

Born in Bavaria, Mr. Oswald came to Canada when but a boy. From 1859 to 1900, he operated a blacksmith shop and hotel at Wallenstein.

Notes:

PASSING OF LATE MR. ROBERTSON

COMMUNITY SHOCKED BY SAD DEATH OF WELL KNOWN CITIZEN LAST FRIDAY

The death of Mr. William Robertson which took place on Friday last came as a distinct shock to the community. For the past six months Mr. Robertson had not been in good health, suffering from nervous attacks, but he had been able to attend fairly regularly to his work at the Snyder Furniture factory, and had also shown his usual interest in the Curling Club.

The late Mr. Robertson was fifty-eight years of age. He was well-known both in town and country, having resided on the farm near here before moving to town. He was universally esteemed and his death is widely regretted. He leaves a wife, but no family. Mrs. Louis Rahn of Elmira, Mrs. William Pfaff, of Mount Forest, and the Misses Eileen and Lizzie Robertson, of Chicago are sisters, and Mr. David Robertson of Elmira is a brother. All attended the funeral.

The funeral took place in Tuesday afternoon from the residence of the late Mr. Robertson to the Union Cemetery, Rev. James Strempfer conducting the obsequies.

________________

Commits Suicide

A well known resident of Elmira, Wm. G. Robertson ended his life Friday evening by hanging himself in the skating rink. He was missing from his home since noon and was found at the rear of the skating rink at 8 o'clock in the evening life being extinct. A box of poison was found near the body the contents of which he had taken to end his life. The unfortunate man who suffered a breakdown a year ago spent much of his time about the rink being much interested in curling and bowling. Deceased was about 50 years of age.

The Waterlo Chronicle 8 Mar 1923

W. O. ROBERTSON

About one mile and a half north of Elmira the above named gentleman lives and owns quite an extensive brick and tile yard. He was born on the old Robertson farm, upon which the yard is located, in 1864. He took charge of the yard on his own responsibility about eight years ago and has ever since conducted it with success. He has contributed several millions of brick to the buildings of recent years in Elmira. The yards have a capacity for turning out a million bricks annually if the demand should warrant it. Mr. Robertson manufactures a very superior grade of white stiff, mud pressed brick and for which there is always a good demand when the building season is on. He also manufactures a first-class quality of tile from 2 to 8 inch, which also finds a good sale among the farmers through this portion of Woolwich. His work and prices will compare favorably with those of any other like establishment in the country. This brick yard has been in existence for nearly forty years and has probably furnished brick for more buildings than any other in Waterloo county. There is in connection a feed chopper which is in operation two days each week for patrons who have chopping to do. A 16 horse-power engine furnishes the motive power for the plant. Mr. Robertson is one of our worthy township councilors, receiving a substantial endorsement from the voters for his second term at the recent election. For his first term he was elected by acclamation. The people are evidently satisfied that he is the right man in the right place. He is also a member of the Odd Fellows and Foresters and is at present financial secretary of the latter order. He was married in 1890 to Miss Salome Koch, who was also born and brought up in this section. Mr. Robertson personally superintends his yard and the work done therein and during the working season employs from eight to ten hands. Those who contemplate building a brick residence or other buildings the coming summer should not fail to call at this yard where they will find first class material end at the lowest market price.

THE SALARY INSUFFICIENT

Policeman Ott, Recently Appointed, Resigns from the Force Salary of $500, Not Enough to Retain His Services

A meeting of the Police Commission was held in the Chief's office this morning to consider the resignation of Constable Ott, the young giant who joined the force about two months ago. The resignation was accepted, to go into effect at the end of this month. Policeman Ott's principal reason for resigning is because he considers the remuneration attached to the position insufficient. His present salary is $500. He purposes returning to his former vocation, that of a blacksmith.

During the short time that Constable Ott has been on the force, he has shown himself to be most efficient and capable officer. It is a regrettable fact that he has resigned his post. A successor will not be appointed until after Chief Gorman's return from New York, which will be in about ten days, and it is a question whether one will even then be appointed.
