QUEEN STREET SOUTH, EAST SIDE.

On the corner of King Street Rehscher's vaulted cellar already spoken of.

An open space.

A two-story rough-cast building with two-story veranda along the Queen Street front built by Martin Anthes (father of John S. Anthes) in 1835 when it was considered one of the best houses in the village. Henry Stroh purchased this house from Mr. Anthes about 1837. Jacob Stroh was born in this house. Behind it there was a garden of about an acre of land. There were 31 pine stumps on the property when Mr. Stroh took possession and these stumps had to be laboriously removed as stump- pulling machines, which came later, were not then available. The well on the lot was only nine feet deep. Henry Stroh carried on a shoe shop in his house until he entered into partnership with Carl Kranz, on King Street.

In 1857, after he had dissolved partnership with Kranz, Henry Stroh built a one and one-half story frame building next to his house and used it as a shoe store. Mr. Stroh continued in this shoe business until 1863 when he went into partnership with Mr. Reinhold Lang, the tanner. The Queen Street shoe shop was changed to a dwelling. Later Mr. Vanderhart, a tailor, had his shop in this building and after him Carl Englehart had it as photographer. Henry Stroh sold his house to George King. Later Charles Ahrens owned it and had it moved to the corner of Shanley and Braun Streets about 1880.

A one and one-half story frame building erected about 1837 by Jacob Kraemer, later on Frederick Street, as spoken of. Later an addition was added to the front and the building used as the local post office, with William Davidson in charge. Later George Seip purchased the building and used it as a saloon, with a bowling alley in the rear, the first bowling alley in Berlin. William Jaffray lived in the house for a time and later William Knell, son-in-law of Mr. Seip.

A one and one-half story frame building, originally a cooper shop, later the dwelling of Mr. Seip, after he sold the other building. In 1860 he built a brewery, known as Seip's brewery. Under the whole building he had a vaulted cellar built of field stone. Power for the brewery was supplied by a horse-power contained in an attached shed, shelter for the horses. Seip had a high reputation for good beer. He at first made his own malt, but later purchased it. After George Seip's death his son Louis continued the business until about 1880. The building was finally torn down to make room for the present auditorium.

The cooper shop, a small one story building, with brick chimney such as coopers used to heat staves for their barrel making, operated by Henry Brickner who later had his shop at the corner of Young and King Streets. Later Adam Stein had the Queen Street cooper shop. The Berlin coopers were experts in the making of what was called tight-wear,that is water-tight barrels, in large tuns which they made for the brewers.

A very early building, occupied by John Peters, a cabinet maker in Hoffman's factory, about 1860. The building had an outside stairway at the back. Peters was a bird lover and expert in trapping native song birds, mocking birds, cat birds, finches, etc., which he hung under his veranda roof in public display.

On the corner of Church Street a frame house occupied by Mr. Knechtel, a weaver, about 1842-1850. Knechtel moved to a farm in Mannheim where later he was injured in the spine by a falling tree to such an extent that he was bedfast for fourteen or fifteen years. He lived to about 1871. Conrad Doering occupied the Queen Street house for a time. He also was a weaver and made coverlets, etc. The house was torn down to make room for the present one of brick built by Dr. Clemens and later occupied by the late Dr. Walters.

Church Street.

On the south side St. Paul's Lutheran Church.

A one and one-half story unpainted frame building with gable towards the street, the dwelling, about 1860, of John Fleischauer, a laborer, a native of Hessen, Germany.

A one and one-half story house occupied by E. Kern, cabinet maker, about 1860 and later by John Ansted.

A vacant lot.

George Street.

Joseph Schneider originally owned all the land between George Street and Mill Street, mostly woods at that time, and extending to Benton and Eby Streets.

He was associated with the Berlin Felt Boot Company for fifteen years and in 1900 organized the Elmira Felt Company. In 1907 he built the Kimmel Felt Company at Berlin. When the Canadian Consolidated Felt Company was formed in 1909, consolidating the Elmira company, the Kimmel company and the Berlin Felt Boot Company, he became vice-president and general manager of the new organization. He also became associated with the large rubber interests in Canada which later merged to become the Canadian Consolidated Rubber Company Limited.

Kimmel became a director of many industrial organizations in Berlin and throughout Ontario and Quebec. With T.H. Rieder he founded the Dominion Rubber Company which became a very successful national organization.

August J. Kimmel

Death removed a prominent Kitchener figure on Friday night in the person of August J. Kimmel, who was well-known in manufacturing circles, and particularly in the felt industry of Canada. Born in Kitchener in 1864, he immediately launched into a business career. He was the organizer of the Elmira Felt Company, and was later identified with the Kimmel Felt Company of Kitchener. Mr. Kimmel also organized the Cobourg Felt Company, and was one of the active workers who finally succeeded in having the Dominion Tire Company erect a plant in Kitchener. When the Waterloo Trust and Savings Company was formed, he was appointed a director, and held that post until five years ago. He had been living in California five years, but returned to Kitchener last May, and since that time has been making his home with his sister, Mrs. J. K. Master. One son four sisters, and three brothers survive him. The funeral was held on Monday with Interment in Elmira Cemetery.

Kitchener Daily Record 11 Oct 1930

_____________________

As typical of the kind of men that have vastly aided in the upbuilding of Berlin stands A. J. Kimmel. Born in Berlin 47 years ago no man is better known in our city and no man has figured less in printed matter; for he is a man who shuns publicity of a personal nature. To write his biography for the past 25 years would be to tell of many of the biggest things clone in commercial interests in our city. He was with the Berlin Felt Boot Co., Berlin for fifteen years, first as Shipping Clerk and later as Sales Manager.

In 1900 he organized the Elmira Felt Co., Elmira, which Company was remarkably successful. In 1907, together with Mr. D. Lorne McGibbon and T. H. Rieder, he purchased the entire share capital of The Elmira Felt Co. and the following year built The Kimmel Felt Co. Works at Berlin. In 1909 the Canadian Consolidated Felt Co. was formed with a capital of two million dollars, taking in the factories of The Elmira Co., The Kimmel Co. and The Berlin Felt Boot Co. with Mr. Kimmel as Vice-President and General Manager. In the meantime he had also become associated with the larger rubber interests of Canada which later became merged in what is now known as the Canadian Consolidated Rubber Company, Limited.

He is President and Manager, The Kimmel Felt Co., Berlin; President and Manager The Elmira Felt Co., Elmira; Director Berlin Felt Boot Co., Berlin; Vice-President and General Manager The Canadian Consolidated Felt Co.; Director Canadian Consolidated Rubber Co., Ltd., Montreal; Director Merchants Rubber Co., Berlin; Director Maple Leaf Rubber Co., Port Dalhousie; Director Berlin Rubber Co., Berlin; also Director in Berlin Pyrofugant Flooring Co. ; Berlin Bedding Co. ; Merchants Printing Co. ; Grosch Felt Shoe Co.

At the time this book is being prepared for press he with Mr. T. H. Rieder is engaged in an effort to install in Berlin a $250,000 Rubber Tire Factory, which will add materially to the industrial growth of our city.

The Mill Fire

Early on the warm August 8 evening in 1902, while local residents were enjoying a variety program staged by a Chautauqua group at the local school yard, cries of "fire" and the sounding of the town bell could be heard to signal for help to fight a blaze.

Little Elena Betzner, whose father, Isaac, had been head miller at the local flour mill, had been taken to the evening program to mark her ninth birthday day.

Soon a column of thick smoke arose over the downtown area. This was a spectacular fire, for it was at the local flour and grist mill in the heart of the village. The large three-storey frame building was soon engulfed in flames and in a short time was razed to the ground. This was the mill built by William Scott in 1848, a half century before. It had a colourful history, having passed through the hands of a succession of owners and operators, and had been extensively damaged in the 1889 boiler explosion.

The economic loss was to affect not only the owners and employees but also the community as well, for it drew farmers and their families for miles around who shopped and transacted business in town as well as at the mill.

Mrs. Edward Pfaff, bride of New Hamburg's newest barber, who had recently moved to town, stood at the window of the couple's temporary home in the Queen's Hotel, (now 73-77 Peel Street) just a hundred meters from the mill. She watched with a mixture of apprehension and awe at the scene as flames and smoke billowed into the air, carrying sparks and embers over the buildings nearby.

Embers and burning shingles settled on nearby roofs, some of which began to smoulder. Residents and building occupants busily carried pails of water to douse flames. New Hamburg's steam-powered fire engine Chugged valiantly, but to little avail. The frame building was doomed, and it burned to the foundation. The loss of the mill would have a definite impact on its patrons and the economy of the village as well.

THE CO-OPERATIVE CIGAR CO.

Manufacturers of the popular brands : Cobalt, 10c; Lustig, 5c; Try Me, 5c; Right Idea, 5c.

The Co-Operative Cigar Co. is a hustling young firm who broke into business life about a year ago. The business is run on the Co-Operative principle and has made a marked success in the manufacturing field. The seven principals of the Company are all young men who have served their full time at cigar making. Every one is practical and being interested puts the very best thought and care into each cigar. Herein lies the secret of the fine reception the public has given every successive brand brought out-the cigars were made right. A number of hands are employed besides the gentlemen named below, making the shop the largest in town at the present time. The first cigar put on the market was the "Lustig," a five cent article, followed shortly after by a 10c smoke called "Cobalt." Both became favorites and have remained so. Recently two other brands : "Try Me" and "Right Idea" have proved equally popular. The members of the Co-Operative Cigar Co. are : - G. Holtze, President ; H. Painter, Secretary ; J. H. Wuest, Treasurer ; F. Lutzkowski, Manager, and S. Wellheuser, C. Hebel, and C. Hueglin.
