Notes:

Mr. Jacob Dunke came to Elmira 39 years ago, entering upon his duties as clerk in the general store of Wenger & Ruppel, for whom he worked two years. After the dissolution of partnership of his employers, he engaged with Mr. Isaac Wenger, where he remained nine years. During this term he laid the foundation of a successful business career and in the year 1875 embarked on his own account in the corner store in Wachsmuth's block. After having experienced unusual success and amassed a large fortune, he sold out to his brother in 1888 and has since lived retired. Mr. Dunke struck Elmira without a dollar to his name and his success is remarkable. He has been treasurer of the Village of Elmira ever since incorporation. It may be said, as a tribute to his ability as collector, as well as to the integrity of the ratepayers of Elmira, that there has never been a time when every cent of the taxes was not paid up on the date required by law.

Charles B. Dunke

Was in Business Nearly 50 years

Veteran Grocery Merchant, ill only few days, was in his 77^th year

Ill only since Wednesday, Charles B. Dunke, 73 Benton St., a merchant for nearly 50 years in this city, retiring only last December died at his residence today in his 77^th year. Mr. Dunke was born on a farm near Berlin in 1861, a son of the late Reinhart Dunke and Lena Boehmer. He was married on Sept. 2, 1886 to Miss Emma L. Weaver, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Amos Weaver, by Rev. G. Plowman at United Brethren Church. On Sept 2, 1936, they observed their golden wedding anniversary. The year after he was married he established his grocery business on King St. from which he retired at the end of 1936, after nearly 50 years of continued activity. He had the distinction of having been in business longer than any other King St. merchant. The deceased in five decades of business saw many changes in the city. When he first opened his store King St. was a gravel road, he saw the first pavement constructed, the street railway built, and the waterworks established. When he was of the younger merchants, streets and stores were lighted by coal oil lamps and each night at sun down business men of the day paused a moment watching for the lamp lighter to make his rounds. Mr. Dunke also experienced a great revolution in the grocery business since the day when he opened his store. At that time farmers dealings with the store were all in the way of trading. Today, although not eliminated, this system has been greatly curtailed. The deceased also served the community in a public capacity, having been a member of city council at various times. He was an active member of Benton St. Baptist Church, of which he was a former trustee. Surviving are his widow, two daughters, Mrs. E.E. Jacques, Colbourg, Mrs. I. G. Imrie, Kitchener, one son Kenneth, Toronto, one brother, Edwin Dunke, Kitchener, one sister, Ida Dunke, also of Kitchener and four grandchildren. Funeral services will be held from the Ratz-Bechtel Funeral Home on Monday afternoon at 2: 30 to Mount Hope Cemetery for interment.

....To Miss Ida Dunke too much praise cannot be given for the perfect and excellent manner in which she acquitted herself. She is certain to become one of Berlin's prima donnas in her future career. She sang "The Violet" in fine style and won the hearts of her hearers, who will always be pleased to welcom her on any future occasion. She responded to the appreciative encore which she received.....

Notes:

A Sad Message.
It was a message of sad import that came over the wires from Chicago to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dunke last Saturday evening, the message announcing the death of their daughter Lizzie, Mrs. Adam Steinacker. Death came under peculiarly sad circumstances being caused by a hemorrhage. No one here had received any previous word of her illness, and the news came as a thunderbolt from a clear sky, being a particularly severe blow to the mother, who is naturally of a nervous temperament and not very robust in health. Mr. and Mrs. Dunke, Mr. A. K. Dunke, Mrs. Geo. Ratz and Mrs. Feick went over to Chicago on Monday to be present at the burial, which took place on Tuesday. Deceased was a kind and genial disposition and made many friends; and her departure will be regretted by all who had the good fortune to be acquainted with her. The bereaved families have the sympathy of a wide circle of relatives and friends. A sorrowing husband mourns an affectionate wife and two children-one a newborn babe-are left without a loving mother's care. Truly, "God moves in a mysterious way."

ACCIDENTAL DEATH IS VERDICT AT HYMMEN INQUEST

The coroner's jury which met Friday brought in a verdict that the accident at the Lancaster St. crossing where Ward Hymmen and Mrs. Homer Hymmen were fatally injured when struck by a C. N. R. railway train was accidental and that no blame could be attached to anyone. It was the opinion of the jury that owing to the heavy motor traffic on Lancaster St. and taking into consideration the number of accidents that have occurred at this crossing, this jury request the crown attorney to ask the Dominion Railway board to provide more adequate protection as soon as possible. Members of the train, Homer Hymmen, Drs. Gillespie and Hamilton and several others gave evidence.
