Flash from the Past: New Dundee's story lives on in Kavelman's photos

Herman Kavelman was a shopkeeper, fire chief, librarian, clock repairman ... and photographer

NEWS Aug 24, 2018 by rych mills Waterloo Region Record

Every community should have had a Herman Kavelman.

Luckily for New Dundee, Herman spent most of his life in that Wilmot Township village. He was born in Mecklenburg, Germany, in July 1882 on the eve of the family's departure for Canada. A few years later, Gottlieb Bettschen was erecting the Jubilee Block in New Dundee, named to honour Queen Victoria's 50th year on the throne. Over the first 20 years, several merchants sold dry goods and groceries from Bettschen's building - including Joseph U. Clemens, Jacob Kriesel and Alvan C. Clemens. In 1899, Kriesel hired a 16-year-old apprentice who, 11 years later, had not only married Jacob's sister, Millie May, but purchased the business.

For the next 60-plus years, New Dundee's centre of life was Herman Kavelman's store. Herman was more than a shopkeeper \emdash fire chief, librarian, clock repairman, leader of the store's hot stove gossip group ... and photographer. He and his camera seemed to be all over town preserving images of people, homes, construction, vehicles, celebrations, disasters \emdash in short, all the things that make up a community's story. Many of these photos he issued as postcards in the early decades of the century. Some 300-plus of his glass negatives, many from the 1900-1930 era, have survived and are in the Township of Wilmot Archives. However, they took a circuitous route.....

This Storekeeper, 86, Slowing Down a Bit.

By HENRY KOCH Record Business Editor

NEW DUNDEE - After 70 years in the same general store, Herman Kavelman is slowing down a bit.

He's 86 and complains about being a little tired when the last customer decides to go home about 9 p.m. By that time he's worked a 14-hour day.

What's worse, he feels, is that he isn't able to lift a 100-pound bag of sugar these days. "I'm really not 100 per cent anymore," he chuckles, "because I can lift only 50 pounds."

The sprightly octogenarian, who will be 87 on July 16, still shovels snow, "but not too much of that anymore."

There was a time, he recalls, when he used to unload whole train carloads of salt all by himself, fix watches and clocks, sell refrigerators and radios, fit women and children with shoes, measure men for suits, run the village library in his store, and still be fresh as a daisy at the end of a long day.

He still zips around his large general store with the agility of a man in his early 50s. His only helpers are part time high school students.

But he no longer unloads salt, repairs watches, sells refrigerators and radios or fits women shoes. and children,

He discontinued watch repairing a couple of years ago because he found it difficult to see the hairsprings and dropped the other items "because they got to be too big a bother."


He still repairs the occasional clock, however.

The village's library board gave him $50 a year to house. the library and act as librarian until around 1959 when a separate building was erected.

The space in his store became too small for the community's needs. Mr. Kavelman marked his 70th anniversary as a storekeeper Jan. 1.

He was 16 when Jacob Kriesel hired him as an apprentice clerk on Jan. 1, 1899. His salary was $30 a year, plus room and board the first year and $50 a year the third year.

The kind hearted proprietor threw in a hand-made blue serge suit for good measure, worth about $20 in those time, days.

He took over the business in 1910 and "reluctantly" install electricity in 1925. The gas brackets are still there. So are the big bins, which contained bulk tea, flour, sugar and various spices in the early days.

The curved glass showcases and the original counter are also there, but the old coffee grinder was retired many years back. It's stored in the back room now and is not for sale.

Mr. Kavelman recalls when he sold green coffee to his customers for 10 cents per pound. ...

Biggest change of all has been the decline of bartering. At the turn of the century, the store accepted eggs, butter and drier apples (schnitz) for staple items.

"We often didn't get any money until after the harvest was in," the veteran storekeeper recalls, "Sometimes the farmer wouldn't settle his account until after selling his cattle in April or May."

The best schnitz was sold on the Toronto market and the darker, more dried up product went to Montreal and northern lumber camps "since we were told they'd eat anything up there."

The winter's supply of butter was kept in the basement and it was one of the proprietor's duties to mix it making uniform possible" before packing it into pails for shipment to market.

Upstairs, customers found a limited choice in the early days. For example, there were only three kinds of soap and they came in bulk cartons. There was Comfort, Gold Soap and Castille.

"One old lady used to poke her hat pin through the bars of Gold Soap looking for gold, but she never found any."

Cheese came in 90-pound "rounds" and sold for 10 cents a pound. Molasses was popular, especially blackstrap, and about the only item individually packaged was corn flakes.

All kinds of packaged goods now crowd the old shelving in the Kavelman store, looking somehow out of place alongside the old counters, gas brackets and wood stove.

Some of the items are products of another era, like the size 14½ celluloid collars and the old-fashioned women's corsets. The collars are still for sale for 25 cents each and the corsets are less than $2.

He's down to one old bowler hat and it isn't for sale.

Mr. Kavelman still gets the occasional request for men's spats. "But since I never handled them, I have none for sale now."

He sold thousands of pairs of high-buttoned shoes over the years and kept a couple of pairs as souvenirs. They mysteriously disappeared recently.

Among the old-fashioned items customers still request is horse liniment. "The horse liniment made today is good for horse or human," he laughs.

Disposable items, Mr. Kayelman recalls, are nothing really new. His store handled disposable men's shirt collars from 1899 to 1909. "They were cheap and popular-a dime a dozen."

His best customer for disposable collars was George Trussler, a farmer on Huron Road, who used them until he died at the age of 103.

Mr. Kavelman's most exciting experience in the store was a couple of years after he started at the turn of the century when a group of farmers were seated around a stove in the dry goods section and were fooling around with a shotgun.

They were arguing as to whether it was loaded or not when the gun went off and put a hole in the ceiling. The hole is still there.

The shot scared the heck out of me." he recalls.

The veteran drove a years ago. storekeeper car until a few years ago.

His first car was a four- cylinder French model called EMF, for Everett, Metzer and Flanders, which he purchased in Toronto in 1913 for $250 and drove home in two days after two driving lessons. "I had real confidence in those days."

The villagers, he recalls, named it the Every Morning Fix, but he dubbed it the Easy, Medium and Fast.

Outside of a sore back and the occasional stomach ache, Mr. Kavelman enjoys reasonably good health. For recreation he reads The Record every night from about 9 to 10 p.m. and watches the television news at 11 p.m., retires and rises at 7 a.m.

He's outlived two wives and has a housekeeper to look after his household chores. He lives above the store.

Mr. Kavelman's main interest in life is people. He thoroughly enjoys the daily contacts with his old customers, the high school students and the old-timers who come in to sit and chat around the stove.

That's why he dreads the thought of retirement. "I'd like to quit, but what would I do?"

His ambition was to be a storekeeper for 70 years. He made it. Now he plans to carry on "so long as my health holds out."

Earl Einwechter, director of New Dundee's Little German Band, was one of that Village's most colourful citizens of the past century. A lifelong resident of the area, he and his twin brother Emmerson were born on a farm, the first of two sets of twins in a family of seven sons. Einwechter was one of the early cream haulers for the New Dundee Creamery beginning in 1922, often rising at 3: 30 a.m. in the winter to start his long route to Galt with a team of horses and sleigh. He also owned and operated the New Dundee Hotel from 1954 to 1957.

He was the leader of the Little German Band from 1948 to the late 1980s. At the band's first performance in 1947, he pulled a live piglet from his horn, much to the amusement of the audience. He directed the band "with dignity" in black top hat, tails, flippers, and a dish mop for his baton. The band played for family reunions, fall fairs, nursing homes, conventions, the Preston Old Boys' Reunion, at Oktoberfest, and in many Santa Claus parades in Kitchener and New Hamburg. When he was no longer able to walk a great distance in parades, he directed the band from a float or truck. He was awarded a life membership in the Musicians Union, after the band's twenty-five year affiliation with Local 226 in Kitchener.

On his 93rd birthday, five members of the original band of eight came to his home to play several selections, while he directed. Earl Einwechter passed away January 7, 1998 in his 96th year. His wife of seventy years, the former Ella Scheel, died a few months later. Bringing smiles to the faces of young and old for forty-six years was Earl's gift to Waterloo County.

Wilburt Gofton, 40-year-old farmer, of the Wilmot-Blenheim township line, shot his wife and two children to death with a sawed-off .22 calibre rifle and then killed himself with the same weapon. Left unharmed in a crib beside the lifeless body of Mrs. Gofton was an 11-months-old baby girl, Elina. A two-year-old son, Karl, was at the farm home of Hans Kondert near Haysville at the time.

After shooting his wife, Gofton went to the bedroom where his children, Cecil, 7, and Dolores, 5, were sleeping, and sent two more bullets into the heads of the youngsters as they lay sleeping. He returned to the kitchen and turned the gun on himself, his body being found near that of his wife.

According to police, the shooting evidently took place between 6.30 and 7.30 o'clock Saturday morning, but the bodies were not discovered until 4.20 in the afternoon when Lloyd Hart, Kitchener delivery man, made a regular call to deliver bread. He rushed to a farm home a short distance down the road to contact Police Chief George Thomas of New Hamburg.

Cpl. Jack Munro of the Kitchener provincial police detachment investigated the triple murder and suicide, assisted by Constable Thomas and Constable W. A. Coxworth of the provincial police in Kitchener.

Mr. and Mrs. Gofton and family occupied part of the farm home of the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. D. Kavelman, who at the time of the shooting were on a trip to Niagara Falls, N.Y. in company with their daughter, Edna.

The four bodies were taken to the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital morgue, Saturday and the next day were released to the Glendenning Funeral Home, Plattsville, where funeral services were held Tuesday, July 31. Interment was in Chesterfield cemetery.
