Lafayette Hostetler Called By Death

Lafayette Hostetler, well known resident of New Hamburg passed away at his home here Monday morning at the age of 84, after a lingering illness. He had been seriously ill for a week before his demise. In the passing of Mr. Hostetler, the community lost a citizen who spent much time and effort furthering the interests of the town. He had been treasurer of the municipality for some 25 years until retiring from that position about ten years ago. Mr. Hostetler was an honorary life member of the Board of Trade for more than 30 years and was a member of the New Hamburg Planning Board until failing health required him to give up those positions in recent years. He was artistically inclined and suggested the design for the official crest of the village. He also served as manager of the local telephone office for more than 20 years. The late Mr. Hostetler was a member of Zion Evangelical United Brethern Church and served as choir leader of that church for over 30 years. He was also a member of the Canadian Order of Foresters. Born in Huron County August 16, 1871, he was a son of the late David Hostetler and the former Sarah Morningstar, and spent the greater part of his life in New Hamburg. As a young man he learned the watch-making trade and operated a jewellery store here for a time before moving to Toronto for several years. Shortly after the end of the first world war he returned to New Hamburg and opened an optical parlor in which he was engaged until about five years ago. He is survived by his wife, the former Bertie Ernst; a son, Orville, of St. Catherines; a daughter, Mrs. W. C. (Grace) McClure, Hamilton, and one grandchild. The body rested at Futher-Omand Funeral Home until Wednesday when removal was made to Zion Evangelical U.B. Church for a memorial service, with internment following in Riverside Cemetery. Rev. M. E.
