    Notes:

    MR. CHRISTIAN ESCH PASSES ON MONDAY

    ONE OF OLD PIONEER OF WATERLOO COUNTY ANSWERS CALL

    There passed away at his home in Woolwich township, on Monday, one of the old pioneers of Waterloo county in the person of Mr. Christian Esch. Born in Woolwich township seventy-one years ago, he has spent practically his entire life in the same township, residing for the past thirty years on the same farm. He leaves a wife and one son, Orville of Woolwich township, as well as two little grandchildren.

    There survive also four brothers and four sisters. Two brothers, Menno and Peter live in Saskatchewan, Menno in Woodstock and Amos in Conestogo. The sisters are Mrs. John Ziegler of Souris, Man., Mrs. E. Rose of Gladwin, Mich., Mrs. John Graham of Moorefield, and Mrs. John Steddick of Elmira.

    Mr. Esch was a well-known and widely esteemed resident of Woolwich and his death, though not unexpected, owing to his long illness, causes, nevertheless, a gap in the life of the community and not to be easily filled.
