Death of Jacob Ottmann

The death of a highly esteemed Hanover citizen took place early on Monday morning when Mr. Jacob Ottmann passed away at the age of 56 years and 4 months. Deceased had been ailing since last December with stomach trouble and underwent an operation in May at Guelph for a growth in the stomach. The operation did not stay the hand of death very long, and after much suffering, bravely borne, death supervened as stated. Deceased had lived in Hanover for over 10 years and conducted a wood-working repair shop. He was a genial man and enjoyed the goodwill of the whole community who regret his death in the prime of life. He was a member of the Hanover Band and took quite an interest in that organization. Deceased was born in Wellesley township, being a son of Charles Ottmann. On April 30, 32 years ago, he married Miss Christina Forler, who survives him with three daughters, Mrs. N. Wunnenburg, Aleda and Edna, and one son, Gordon. After their marriage, they resided in Wellesley for a time where Mr. Ottmann was employed in Reiner's Woolen Mills. Twenty-two years ago they moved to Wiarton and 10 years ago they came to Hanover. The funeral takes place tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock to the Hanover cemetery. A memorial service will be held in St. Matthew's Lutheran Church conducted by Rev. H. Twietmeyer after the burial

Mrs. N. Wunnenberg Passes Suddenly

Mrs. Norman Wunnenberg, a highly esteemed resident of Hanover for many years, passed away suddenly, following a heart attack at Victoria Hospital, London, last Thursday June 3rd. The late Mrs. Wunnenberg was born in May 3rd, 1888, at Wellesley, Ontario, a daughter, Julia Laura, of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Ottman. She came to Hanover with her parents in 1909, where she has resided since. In 1911, deceased married Mr. Norman Wunnenberg of Hanover, who predeceased her in 1916. Surviving are one daughter, (Inez) Mrs. Peter Kowalsky and one son, Herbert, both of Hanover, and two grandchildren. Also surviving are two sisters, Aleda, of Rochester, N.Y., and Edna of Toronto, and one brother, Gordon, of Kincardine. The late Mrs. Wunnenberg made many close associations and friends, by her sterling character and quiet efficiency. Treasurer of the Hanover Women's Hospital Aid since its organization here some twenty-five years ago, she was to have been honoured by a life membership in the Society at the District Conference held here on Tuesday. Quiet and unassuming her efficiency and quiet presence, will be missed for a long time by her fellow members of this organization, who attended the funeral service in a body. The late Mrs. Wunnenberg was a charter member and a Past Noble Grand of Evergreen Rebekah Lodge, and a faithful and devoted member of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, who could always be depended upon to use her talents for service in the highest possible measure. Mrs. Wunnenberg was organist in the Sunday School for many years, the first president of the Women's Missionary Society and an active member of the Ladies' Aid, the members of which formed a guard of honor at the memorial service. The late Mrs. Wunnenberg's friendly and helpful influence will be missed in many circles, but it is in her home where she was an ideal mother and a loving sister, that her place will never be filled, and much sympathy is expressed for her family in their bereavement. The funeral was held on Sunday June 6th, with service at her late residence, followed by a memorial service at St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. S. Wittig. Special music was provided by the choir of the church, and the Ladies' Aid sang "Asleep in Jesus", very effectively. Interment took place in Hanover Cemetery. The pallbearers were Mayor A.J. Metzger, Messrs. Osborne Orr, William Diebel, William Henry, Albert Seim and Clarence Becker. The beautiful floral tributes, bearing mute tribute to the affection and esteem, in which Mrs. Wunnenberg was held throughout the community, were carried by Messrs. Harry Diebel, Robert Hocking, Charles Hocking, Robert Gruetzner, Alton Schaus, P. V. Schaus, George Booth, Jack Lang, Norman Knapp, William Smith, Oscar Becker, Walter Widmeyer and Harold Winkler.

Died in Young Manhood

The death of Mr. Norman J. Wunnenberg, a popular young Hanover man, on Thursday last at the early age of 26 years cast a shadow over the town. The grim reaper is always a sad visitor, but when, as in this case, its victim was a young man just on the threshold of life, it seems doubly sad, and hard to understand. Norman, who was the only son of Mr. Henry Wunnenberg, was born and raised in Hanover, and his friends were legion. A big fellow, good natured and large hearted, he will be missed around town, but it is in his own home where he will be mostly and sincerely missed, his own home where he leaves a young wife and two little children. If the sincerest sympathy of the community can at all mitigate the blow, the bereaved ones have the knowledge that a very wide circle of friends feel for them very, very deeply. Deceased was ill for several months, and the cause of death was perforation of the bowels and general peritonitis. Norman was a member of the I.O.O.F. and the members of that order were kindness itself to the poor young fellow during his weeks of suffering. The ??? Oddfellows lived up to the highest ideals of their order in their treatment of the late Norman Wunnenberg. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon to the Hanover cemetery, the Oddfellows marching in a body to the cemetery. The pall bearers were: Messrs. Ben Zum, R. H. Richardson, Dr. Stalker, Leslie Millar, Wm. Thedort and Bert Scarborough. The funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. H. Tweitmeyer, at the house, grave and at St. Matthew's Lutheran church after the interment. Among friends from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. F. Lichler of Mitchell, Mr. Noah Liedler of Baden, Mr. Charles Wunnenberg, wife and daughter of Southampton, Mrs. John Forler, Mr. Eldon Becker and Mr. Gordon Ottman, all of Kitchener, Mr. Edward Becker of West Toronto, Mr. Leslie Grabill of Toronto, Mr. Christian Forler and wife of Elmwood, Mrs. Herb Kaufman, Miss Ottman and Mrs. John Hohl, all of Wellesley, and Mr. Len. Schwartz of Wiarton and Mr. Fred Wunnenberg of Kitchener.
