Notes:

Mr. W. H. Otto, was born in New Hamburg, Ont., where he passed his youth and received his education. From New Hamburg he removed to Ellice Township, where he was engaged a number of years in farming. In 1875 he embarked in the mercantile business under apprentice-ship with Mr. W. L. Schmidt, then of Sebringville, Ont. Four years later he removed to Elgin County, where he conducted a branch store for Mr. P. J. Lindenman, in whose employ he remained 3 years. In the fall of 1882 he returned to Sebringville, where, in the following year, he commenced business for himself in a small way. He made a success of his business. In 1899 he disposed of his stock there and came to Elmira where he bought out the stock in trade and the good will of Messrs H. Dunke & Co. Here his integrity and strict attention to business has won for him a constantly growing trade. He enjoys the confidence of the public and is highly respected as a citizen. As such, he takes a lively interest in the welfare of the town and has been particularly active in the interests of the Public Library, of which he is now a Director. Mr. Otto deals in a variety of goods such as well appointed general stores generally offer. Besides keeping the usual stock of Dry Goods, Groceries, Crockery, Boots and Shoes, he makes a speciality of Clothing and Dress Goods. His store is situated in the heart of the Village in Dunke's Block. [Dunke's Block was located on the southeast corner of Church and Arthur Streets.]

SUDDENLY CALLED

Like a flash of lightning from a clear sky came the report at about 11: 30 am, last Tuesday, of the sudden death of one of Elmira's best known and highly respected citizens and business men, Mr. W. H. Otto. Mr. Otto was a merchant, proprietor of the general merchandise business conducted by him since 1899 in Dunke's block. In the morning of the fatal day he was about his business as usual and at the time above mentioned was examining the samples of a commercial traveller over the counter of his store when he suddenly was seized with a pain in the chest and almost immediately fell over dead. The news of his death spread rapidly and cast a gloom over the village that hung like a pall. He was laid out in his office while the unpleasant task of breaking the news to the bereaved family fell to a few friends. The shock they experienced may be better imagined then described. Such is the uncertainty of life!

As such, he took a lively interest in the welfare of the town and has been particularly active in the interests of the Evangelical Church and Public Lirary of which he was a director at the time of his death. He was also connected with the Children's Aid Society and the Upper Canada Bible Society and was a prominent church worker.

As a citizen he was progressive and aggressive, he took a ly? interest in the moral and material welfare of the town and was a useful and valued member of the Board of Trade. He was regarded as an upright honorable, reliable, solid and good living citizen such as any town can ill afford to lose. He was particularly a family member and home and church furnished the bulk of his recreation. He was married to Antonette Schmidt who survives him. With her he had ten children: - Luella (Mrs. Ed. Suehring) of Brock, Sask., Anna Myrtle (Mrs. D. D. Ratz) Gordon, in Sask., Edgar, Edmonton, George in Sask., Sydney of Waterloo, Ernie, Antonette, Leonora and Robert at home.

The bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of a large circle of fellow-citizens and acquaintances in their sudden loss of a kind husband and a provident father.

Deceased reached the age of about 62 years. The funeral arrangements have not been completed at the time of going to press.

FLASH FROM THE PAST: Victoria Park's first 'comfort station'

By Jon Fear

Early visitors to Victoria Park in Kitchener somehow did without public washrooms for the first 14 years of the park's existence.

But in 1910 when the town of Berlin (soon to be renamed Kitchener in 1916) got around to building them, it took pains to do a first-rate job.

"Finest of its Kind in Canada," a Berlin News Record headline said on June 7, 1910. "New Comfort Station One of the Most Complete in Canada," the Berlin Daily Telegraph agreed....The building's architect was Charles Knechtel. He also designed the original Victoria Park pavilion, which was destroyed by fire in 1916.

A newspaper account from 1910 describes the comfort station building as having the shape of a Maltese cross and featuring an interior with terrazzo flooring, enamelled brick walls and an ornamental metal ceiling.

"The building is divided into two compartments, one for men, the other for women. The latter has a large rest room in connection, splendidly equipped with mission furniture, easy chair, rockers and coach and a writing table. The furniture for this is from the Krug factory and cost $85."....

KNECHTEL, Charles (1869-1951), son of Jonas Knechtel of Berlin, was born in Mannheim, Waterloo County, Ont. on 22 November 1869 and attended Central School in Berlin (now Kitchener). He did not receive a formal education in architecture but instead gained his knowledge of design and construction from his father whom he worked with from 1886 until the death of the latter in 1894. Knechtel then opened his own office in Berlin in 1895 and continued to practise there until after 1930. He died in Kitchener on 5 October 1951 (obituary in the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, 5 Oct. 1951, 7; inf. Ontario Association of Architects). The Region of Waterloo Archives in Kitchener, Ont. holds a collection of over 800 original drawings by Jonas Knechtel and by Charles Knechtel dating from 1893 to 1943 (Fonds - JCK Coll.).
