    Notes:

    Sad Death of Frederick Wilken
    Passed away Sunday Evening the Home of His Daughter, Mrs. L. Bunch, Ill Only a Week with Pneumonia.

    That dread disease, pneumonia, has claimed another victim in the person of Mr. Frederick Wilken for many years a resident of Elmira, but who has resided with his daughter, Mr. L. Bunch, Albert St., Waterloo, for the past year, who passed away at nine o'clock Sunday evening at the age of 69 years, 6 months and 23 days. Deceased, who had always enjoyed excellent health, contracted the disease a week ago, from which he never recovered. His wife, Mrs. Wilken is seriously ill with the same disease, as is also Mr. Bunch. The late Mr. Wilken was born in Germany, and came to this country fifty years ago. Two later he was married to Mrs. Wilken of Rummelhardt, where they first resided. They subsequently resided in a number of other places until finally they moved to Elmira, where they lived 22 years. A year ago he came to Waterloo and has resided with his daughter since then. Besides his wife, who survives, a family of children are left to mourn his untimely demise, namely: John, Henry and Charles of Elmira; Wm. of Preston, Fred of Stony Plain N.W.T. and two daughters, Mrs. Theodore Urtel, of Elmira and Mrs. L. Bunch of Waterloo. The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon at 1: 30 o'clock from the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. L. Bunch, Albert St., to the St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Berlin, for service, thence to Mount Hope Cemetery for interment. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved.

    A. Wilken dies at age of 98

    Amsey J. Wilken, one of Listowel's most active and popular senior citizens, died in Listowel Memorial Hospital on Sept. 11, at the age of 98. Known for his sense of humor and his love of horses, he retired some years ago from farming and trades as a painter and paper hanger. One of nine children of John and Annie (Metz) Wilken, he was born in Elmira on August 27, 1886 and raised in nearby Floradale. As a boy he worked long, hard hours after terminating his official education in a one room school. Between stints as a farm worker, he learned carpentry from his father, often putting in a 16-hour day. Later, he acquired his own farm on the fourth concession of Wallace Township and was there for 35 years. He moved to Listowel several years ago. Mr. Wilken was predeceased by his wife, Amanda (Miller) whom he married on New Year's Day, 1920. The ceremony was held at Wallaceville. He was a member of Calvary United Church, Listowel Surviving are three sons, Floyd of Listowel, Carl of Atwood and Jack of Gowanstown; a daughter Mrs. James (Jean) Scott of Listowel; a sister, Mrs. Cora Pontin of Waterloo and a brother, Ralph, of Listowel, 14 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Mr. Wilken was predeceased by a son Earl; four brothers, two sisters and a grandson. The funeral service with Rev. Cecil Wittich officiating was held at 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14 at the Robert Trench Funeral Home, Listowel. Interment was in Fairview Cemetery. The pallbearers were Carl Allendorf, Neil Williams, Bill Williams, Merd Livingston, Jim Scott and Harvey Parker. Flower bearers were Bob Scott, Bruce Wilken, Sharon Horne and Carole Wilken.

    ________________


    Situated four miles east of Highway 23 on Concessions 8 and 9 of Wallace and Maryborough Townships, Trecastle had a lot more to recommend it than just the local bootleggers. The hamlet ... was established around the late 1850s. Amsey Wilken has memories of Trecastle being the first place he ever bought smoking tobacco. Although he wasn't a native of Trecastle he spent many a good time there while visiting his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Metz. His mother was the former Annie Metz who married John R. Wilekn and moved to the Elmira area.

    Sudden Death of Mrs. Rudow

    Community Shocked By The Passing of Well-Known Elmira Woman

    Elmira was shocked to hear of the death of one of her esteemed daughters in the person of Emma Wilken, the beloved wife of William Rudow. The deceased had not been in good health since the Flu of 1918 but she bore her suffering with fortitude. She had reached the early age of 36 years, 2 months and 21 days. On Dec.18, she complained of pains in her sides which developed into pleurisy, and on the third day she took a turn for the worse when double pneumonia set in. She succumbed to her sickness on Friday morning at 4: 30. The late Mrs. Rudow whose maiden name was Emma Wilken was born in 1892 in Waterloo Township. Later they moved to Floradale and after a few years to Elmira where she attended school. In 1916 she was married to William Rudow and to them were born three children, namely Kathleen, aged 6; Karl age 4, and Marguerite, age 16 months. There also survive her: her father, John R. Wilken; brothers, Amasa, Irvin (Wallace Tp), Russell, Ralph, and also one sister, Cora, who are at home. The funeral which was largely attended was held on December 25 (Christmas Day), at 2: 30 at St. James Lutheran Church. Burial was in St. James Cemetery. The flowers were numerous, showing the high esteem in which she was held.
