__________

Augustus Kaiser, A. M., M. D., was born at St. Agatha, Ont., on August 24, 1843. He received his early education at St. Jerome's College, at Berlin Ont., and at the age of 15 years, he entered the Jesuit College at Montreal. He received the degree of master of arts in 1866, and for a time was professor of French and mathemathics at St. Jerome College. Desiring to become a physician, he went to Ann Arbor, where he graduated from the medical department of the University of Michigan in 1871. He located in Detroit in 1872, just after his marriage to Miss Mary Anna Lang, daughter of the late Reinhold Lang, of Berlin, Ont.

In religion Dr. Kaiser was a devout Roman Catholic, and was prominent in the counels of the church. He was a member of several church societies, and president of Branch 10, C. M. H. A. in polities he was a stanch Democrat. He was United States examining surgeon under President Cleveland's first administration. For four years he represented the seventh ward in the common counell, of which body he was president during his last term. He also served two years as city physician, and at the time of his death he was physician to the house of correction, which position he had held for sixteen years.

Personally Dr. Kaiser was he of nature's noblemen, a man of large sympathies, great energy, and sterling character. He was largely and actively interested in public charities, the special object of his attention, however, being the Home of the Aged Poor, The Little Sisters of the Poor will surely feel the loss of his counsel and support. Dr. Kaiser had an extended clientele, his personal qualities making him especially endeared to those with whom he had professional relations. He was one of the men whose place in all the circles in which he moved it wiil be ditlicult to fill.

LAID IN THE TOMB.

Touching Scenes at the Funeral of Dr. Augustus Kaiser.

The last sad rites over the remains of the late Dr. Augustus Kaiser were held in St. Joseph's church, corner of Orleans and Jay streets, yesterday morning. The throng that had assembled to witness the funeral ceremonies was so large that every foot of standing room was occupied.
Rt. Rev. John S. Foley, bishop of the diocese, celebrated solemn requiem mass, and he also delivered a funeral sermon. The casket was completely buried with flowers. A touching sight was the group of Little Sisters of the Poor, and so many Inmates of the institution, which had received so much charity at the hands of Dr. Kaiser, as were able to attend. The tears which they shed were prompted by real sorrow at the demise of their friend and adviser.

The active pall bearers were Joseph Denk, Henry Telpel, Benjamin Wurzburger, Martin Bayer. Louis Hilsendegen. Anthony Muir, Fellx Meler and Thomas Schelch. The honorary escort consisted of Capt. Joseph Nicholson, Capt. J. W. Millen and Drs. J. J. Mulheron, Eugene Smith, J. Henry Carstens, Joseph Schulte, Daniel La Ferte and John E. Clark.

The remains were taken to Woodmere cemetery and placed in a vault, to remain there until after the return of Miss Antoinette Kaiser, the only child of the deceased, from Germany.

The Germans in Ontario felt a personal loyalty to Queen Victoria and her consort. In fact it was more than loyalty, it was blood kinship. Governors-general sent to Canada by the Queen were most affectionately received by them and never failed to address the Germans in their own tongue. This loyalty to the Queen was a great factor in stirring up loyalty to Canada as well. On this score the Germans refused to take second place to any other national group. The twenty-fourth of May and, beginning in 1867, the first of July were always colorfully observed. The Berliner Journal carries the following note on June 11, 1874, regarding the preparations for the observance of the national holiday for that year: "Dominion Day - on July first in the afternoon a big picnic will take place in the city park, and in the evening a mechanics' ball in St. Nicholas Hall, with the co-operation of the music society. As one notices from the advertisement it is again the Germans who are making the preparations for the public celebration of this national Canadian festival. Now let any conceited John Bull say that the Germans in Berlin are not loyal!"* Perhaps the finest tribute to Canada by a German-Canadian to be found anywhere is in the form of a poem by Dr. August Kaiser, who was born in St. Agatha in 1843, and who died in Detroit in 1894, and lies buried in Mount Hope Cemetery in this city. He was well-known as a physician in Detroit, but in addition to his medical work had found time to enter city politics there. He became first an alderman and finally president of the board of aldermen. His poem, which appeared in the Berliner Journal on November 29, 1894, bears the title: "Canada" and has, in its German form the rhyme-scheme and melody of the "Wacht am Rhein." The following is a fairly literal translation and retains the original metrical form:

CANADA

O Canada, thou beauteous land,
Thou art my treasured fatherland.
To thee eternal troth I'll swear,
E'en though in foreign lands I fare.

Dear Canada, thou beauteous land,
Dear Canada, thou Freedom's strand.
Thou art fore'er my loved fatherland,
Thou art fore'er my treasured fatherland.

Thou Canada, so great and free,
Art rich indeed, O hail to thee!
Hast gold and silver, iron, ore,
Corn, wheat and grain from shore to shore.
Dear Canada, thou beauteous land, etc.

In accents loud I say to all,
That thou hast laws-in number small
The best that man hath yet ordained Thou giv'st thy people unconstrained.
Dear Canada, thou beauteous land, etc.

All hail to thee, beloved land,
Thou art fore'er my fatherland.
Though lordly be the foreign shore,
Thou has my love for evermore.
Dear Canada, thou beauteous land, etc.

HONOURABLE JOHN J. WINTERMEYER 1916-1993

John Wintermeyer's long career in public life was one that could truly be called "a devoted service to a calling."

Wintermeyer was born in Berlin (Kitchener) and attended St. Jerome's High School. He graduated in commerce and philosophy from the University of Notre Dame before attending Harvard Law School. In 1943, he graduated from Dalhousie Law School and he was admitted to the bar in Nova Scotia and Ontario.

Wintermeyer was elected as a City of Kitchener alderman in 1952, and in 1955 he was elected Member of Provincial Parliament for Waterloo North. In 1958, Wintermeyer became leader of the Ontario Liberal Party, a position he held until 1963. As leader of the official opposition in the Legislature, Wintermeyer stressed the need for hospital and medical insurance, education reform, improvements in public services, equality of opportunity and constitutional changes.

Wintermeyer was known as man of deep faith, charity and integrity. He held a Papal Honour - Member of the Order of St. Sylvestre, Sir Knight of Malta; and he held a Civilian Honour - Member of the Military Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem. In 1993, he was honoured as Kitchener Citizen of the Year in recognition of his public contributions, and his commitment and dedication to the community. He served on the boards of numerous organizations including St. Mary's St. Vincent de Paul, The Working Centre, the Anna Kaljas House, St. John's Kitchen and Reaching Our Outdoor Friends.

Wintermeyer played an integral role in the development of Hockey Canada, serving as President and Director, and he was Chairman of the Canadian Olympic Hockey Foundation.

In 1994, St. Jerome's University created the John J. Wintermeyer Chair, and in 2000 the University established the John J. Wintermeyer Lecture in Christianity and Public Policy. In his honour, the City of Waterloo established Wintermeyer Park along the Grand River.
