Notes:

MRS. CHAS. KLINCK, SR. DIED ON TUESDAY
WAS ONE OF ELMIRA'S OLDEST AND MOST RESPECTED CITIZENS

A resident of Elmira for upward of sixty years, and an honored wife and mother departed this life on Tuesday, January 4, inst., in the person of Mrs. Charles Klinck, Sr. The deceased lady had reached the ripe age of 80 years 3 months and 13 days.

Mrs. Klinck's maiden name was Elizabeth Hollinger. She and Mr. Klinck were married on January 3, 1860, at the then town of Berlin by the Rev. Mr. Bindemann. Her home was in Heidelberg and there the young couple resided for three months before removing to Elmira in April of 1860. On January 3, 1920, they had the rare good fortune of celebrating their diamond wedding, representing sixty years of happy married life. Their children number nine and all of these were able to attend the diamond wedding celebration.

Mr. Klinck, her husband is still in fairly good health, though he has passed his 85^th birthday. The names of their surviving children are: Miss Catherine Klinck, who lives at home, Mr. George Klinck, Mrs. John B. Lein, Mr. Charles N. Klinck, Misses Carolline and Lizzie Klinck, living at home, Mr. August Klinck, Mrs. William Heckendorn and Miss Ida, living at home.

All the children and grandchildren with the exception of one granddaughter (Mrs. W.D. Schmidt, of Kitchener) reside in Elmira.
Mr. and Mrs. Klinck's grandchildren number twenty and their great-grandchildren four. Of her father's family, only Mrs. Margaret Wahl of Elmira survives her.

During the first 43 years of their married life, Mr. and Mrs. Klinck lived on the farm opposite the C.P.R. station, adjacent to Elmira, on north Arthur street. When her husband purchased the farm it was in a primitive state. Mrs. Klinck proved a valuable helpmate to him in their task of meeting and overcoming the vicissitudes which beset pioneers in Northern Waterloo. She was a woman of sound Christian principles, possessed considerable strength of character and was a pattern of industry.

In 1903 Mr. and Mrs. Klinck retired to a fine residence on North Arthur street. During those sixty years, Mr. and Mrs. Klinck had lived in only two houses. The one on the farm and the other a quarter of a mile from it on the ?? street.

Mrs. Klinck had for thirty-seen years been a sufferer from rheumatism, and for about seven years she had been unable to leave her home. Shortly before Christmas, she became ill, but it was not until Sunday morning that her condition became serious. She grew gradually weaker and death ended her sufferings on Tuesday.

Her funeral will be held on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, from her late residence, proceeding to St. Paul's Lutheran Church for services, after which interment will take place in the Elmira Union Cemetery.

In her death Elmira loses a highly esteemed woman and her husband and family a beloved mother and wife. Hers has been a signally useful, fruitful life. Her departure will be sincerely mourned by all who enjoyed her friendship or acquaintance. The sympathy of the community will go out to the bereaved family. [Comment: Question marks (??) have been placed where the information was illegible in the obituary.]

"The Red House On The Hill"

Century-Old Home Reveals How Pioneers Lived

One of the most fascinating homes in Elmira is "The Red House On The Hill" where the Misses Laurina and Flora Klinck live. This lovely red brick home, situated on high ground near the eastern edge of town, is more than 100 years old - and has been occupied by the Klinck family for 73 of those years. One doesn't even have to enter to sense the character of this home. As you walk up the winding drive, through the rolling 10-acre grounds fronting on Church street east, you suddenly come on some small cement steps. These are where lady and gentlemen visitors, in their high button boots, used to step out of their carriages a century or so ago. The next thing noticed is that the cellar opens to the outdoors. "So you see it may be 100 years old - but it's still split level," says Miss Laurina who has a neat sense of humour.

It is the cellar that reveals the historic background of the house, because that was where the entire family of the original owner lived - and the evidence of how they lived and worked are still there. In one room is a huge fireplace with cranes to swing the cooking pots - and from where boiling water was carried to the trough outside for scalding pigs at butchering time. [I'm sure they scalded the pigs after they were dead, to remove the hair !] At the bottom of the great chimney is a small heater - this was used for "schnitzing bees"' that is, drying quantities of apples laid out on iron rods above known as "schnitz trays." Two more rooms recall how mother and father worked. In one room, known as the "back kitchen," is a cement stand for the wash tub, with a place for the water to run away - and next to that a built-in tub where the clothes were rinsed.

In what was the "woodshed" are tools which reveal what a versatile man the pioneering home-owner had to be - they include a scythe, bucksaw, mitre box, wooden plane, chopping block, cooper's tools, including a cooper's plane. Still another is the "milk room" - and even the water supply which ran through the cooling troughs is interesting. Miss Laurina can remember that the household water came out of the pipe "thick as a man's thumb" - yet this water from a single spring ran first to the barn, through the barn to the house, to the kitchen into a big tank, downstairs to cool the milk, and out of the house to a goldfish pond, and on to a trough to water the cattle in the fields.

The builder of this unique home was an English carpenter named Mr. Grey who lived outside of Elmira. Not too much is known of the first owners except that their name was Kenning and the property was once known as the "Kenning place." They were the family that lived in the cellar, and four rooms above. The next owner was a grandfather of the Klinck family, George Hollinger. He added the four rooms and kitchen which comprise the present attractive home. The number of rooms, as the house now stands is, however, rather indefinite. Depending on how many basement rooms are counted, as well as two small sunrooms since added, the total could be 12 or 14.

The next owner was George Klinck, who moved in, in 1890. All of Mr. and Mrs. Klinck's nine children were born in the house. The four members of this distinguished family still living are the Misses Klinck; George of Toronto, teacher, writer and editor of the Modern Language Review, and Harold of Oldcastle, near Windsor, Ontario, former teacher who is now a scientific fruit-farmer as well as president of the Ontario Educational Association.

A pleasing feature is the manner in which the master bedroom has been maintained. The original bed, washstand, child's chair and other furniture are kept right where they were when Mr. and Mrs. George Klinck occupied the room. Around the corner is the desk where the illustrious Mr. Klinck - schoolboard chairman, library founder, feed merchant, jeweller and watchmaker, historian and publisher - did his work. The family has vivid memories of their father and a deep appreciation of the impact he had on his community. "He was always on the go," recalls Miss Laurina. To illustrate the point, Miss Flora produced a copy of the first issue of Elmira's weekly newspaper which Mr. Klinck published.

At that time, 70 years ago, this many-sided man included a furniture business among his many interests. In the first issue of his newspaper, he advertised a "bedroom suite - bed, bureau and washstand" - at $12. "That $12 bedroom suite is still in use - and still solid," reports Miss Laurina. Of the historic basement, Miss Laurina said: "When you've tidied it up, you know you've done some work." She notes that the coal supply is now kept in what was the dining room of the original family. One of the most picturesque memories the sisters have is of a Klinck grandmother who used to sit at the back kitchen fireplace making apple butter. "But with four boys in the family there were always lots of pants to mend," recalls Miss Laurina. "So she'd sit there, stirring the apple butter - and mending pants."

ELMIRA

SHOE, FELT AND WOOLEN WORKS

Among the manufacturing industries of Elmira the above concern must be reckoned one of the most important, as it gives employment to the largest number of wage-earners and many of them expert and skilled mechanics. It is a part of the old Winger & Weaver Woolen factory. The latter, the first indusdry of note in this town, was established in 1856, by Peter Winger and Samuel Weaver who were prominent among the early settlers in this vicinity. They commenced operations in 1856 and continued to run it until 1873, when Mr. Henry Winger, son of the well known member of the firm, took charge and operated it until 1883, and after that in company with his brother, J. B. Winger, until 1895, at which time they added the felt manufactory. It was then operated by J. B. Winger and Amasa Winger for short one year, when in the spring of 1896, a joint stock company was formed and the plant improved and placed on a more extensive scale. The company is made up of some of the leading and most responsible citzens of the town, viz: Henry Winger, J. B. Winger, Amasa Winger, J. P. Lackhardt, Weber & Erb, M. Weichel, J. S. Weichel, Daniel Ratz, Casper Ziegler, David Snider, Chas. Klinck and son George, Henry Mogk and Isaac Hilborn. Board of Directors: A. H Erb, President; Henry Winger, Daniel Ratz, Casper Ziegler and J. P. Luckhardt, John Peel, Treasurer and general manager.

They manufacture both leather and felt goods, and the class of work turned out is equal in style, workmanship, finish and material to that of any other establishment of the kind in Ontario. There is a steady demand for about all the company can manufacture with their present facilities, most of their goods going to the Northwest and the Maritime Provinces. From twenty-five to thirty hands are employed. The factory is equipped with the latest and best improved machinery, and a walk through the building when all hands are at work will convince any person that experienced workmen are employed and that great care is exercised in putting the material together in a way that must produce a popular and durable article. The very latest styles of footwear are turned out. The company still continues the woolen factory and manufactures fine tweeds, flannels blankets and other woolen goods, and are always prepared for custom work.

GEORGE KLINCK.

It is enterprising young men like the above that give an air of busy life to a community. Mr. Klinck was born in Elmira in 1862. For seventeen years he has been engaged in the watchmaking and jewelry business. He has taken a course of training in the Horological School of Geneva, Switzerland, and has been for several years president of the Canadian Watchmakers' Association with headquarters at Toronto. It will thus be seen that he is as well equipped and qualified for this branch of his business interests as that of any dealer in the country. Mr. Klinck does not stop at the jewelry business, but he is one of Elmira's prominent grain dealers and buyers of farm produce generally and ships a large number of carloads of grain annually, and constantly caters to the demands of farmers for all kinds of feed He has lately added power that will enable him to furnish, on short notice, chopped grain, etc, which will be a great convenience to the farmers in this section. He is also adding machinery for bicycle repairing, a feature that will be welcomed by patrons of the bike. While Mr. Klinck is engaged in all these branches of his business, he still finds time to edit the "Signet," a bright little newspaper, which, I understand, is being well patronized. It was established in 1893. It is the newspapers that give prominence to a town, and in this particular the publisher of the "Signet" justly deserves extra encouragement.

Former Signet Editor George Klinck Passes

BORN HERE AND WAS SIXTY TWO YEARS IN
BUSINESS IN THIS COMMUNITY


Elmira mourns the loss of one of its most prominent citizens in the passing of George Klinek, who passed peacefully away at his residence
on Tuesday morning at the age of 82 years. Mr. Klinek had been ill for six months and of recent weeks his held no hope. Finally a long and useful life was closed.

George Klinck, the eldest son of the late Karl Klinck and Elizabeth. Hollinger, was born on his father's farm within the town limits of Elmira. part of which farm is at present owned by Earl Jackson, on July. 7th, 1862.

He attended the Elmira Public School, and at the age of 16 years, was apprenticed to the late Arthur Pequegnat of Berlin (now Kitchener) to learn the watchmaking trade.. After completing three years' apprenticeship, he returned to Elmira in 1881, and opened a Watch Repair Shop in the block now occupied by Dreisinger's Furniture Store, later. adding a stock of Watches and Jewelery, and moving the store to the block now occupied by Klinck Co., Ltd., and the Elmira Signet.

In 1887 he journeyed to Switzerland, where he took a post-graduate course in Watchmaking at the Geneva Watchmaking School. Returning to Elmira, he again took charge of his business, and assisted by his brother, the late Charles N. Klinck, as optician, he carried on this business until 15 years ago, when he sold out the stock. He was the first examiner at the Canadian Horological Institute, Toronto, and the first President of the Canadian Jewellers' Association.

...ness and interest in the progress of the farming community and did much to enable the farmers to secure good seed and feed, which enabled them to carry on their work with greater success.

Being endowed with a brilliant and versatile mind, an energetic and public-spirited disposition and a sound body, he gave much of his talents and time to the welfare of the community. As a young man, he was interested in securing the best to be had in literature and the arts, and along with the late David Bean, A. Werner, J. A. Harper, Henry Delion and others was successful in organizing; in 1887, the Elmira Mechanics' institute, which later became the Elmira Public Library.

As a member of the Elmira Board of Trade and of the Town Council, he was actively interested in securing new industries, the C.N.R. and C.P.R. railways, hydro and other public utilities and improvements for the town.

He also served as Elmira's representative on the County Council for several years: was an active member of the Children's Aid Society and the Elmira Horticultural Society, and, until his last illness, a member of the Red Cross Society. He was a life member of the Upper Canada Bible Society, and a member of the Waterloo County Historical Society.

With the welfare of children always at heart, he was instrumental in furthering the opportunities for education in Elmira. At the annual meeting of the ratepayers of the Elmira Public School held Dec. 31, 1918, a motion, moved by Geo. Klinck, seconded by Israel Groff, "that this meeting urge the trustees of this section to start a Continuation School," was carried. In Sept. 1915, the Elmira Continuation School was opened, and in 1922, it was changed to a High School. In 1923, a Night School, which was continued every winter until 1931, was established. Mr. Klinek acted as a member of the Elmira Continuation School and the Elmira High School for 15 years, and was ever on the lookout for improvements of teachers and equipment.

A staunch Lutheran in religion, he was a member of St. Paul's Ev. Lutheran Church, where he served for a long time as a Sunday School teacher, member of the School Board, and for over 25 years was secretary of the congregation. Up to the time of his death, he was a member of the...

Organization:
On January 24, 1888, a meeting was held to organize a Mechanics' Institute in Elmira. Membership cost $1 a year. The first board members were: David Bean, George Klinck, A. Werner, John Ratz, A. H. Erb, A. Blatz, Wm. Behrens, Sol Laschinger, Dr. Ullyot, and M. Weber. The librarian/caretaker, C. K. Jansen was paid $30 a year.

George married Mary Ella Devitt 30 Sep 1891, Elmira, Woolwich Twp., Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada.

Fifty Years In Business Chas. N. Klinck Passes

IN FAILING HEALTH FOR PAST YEAR PROMINENT CITIZEN PASSES ON FRIDAY LAST

Charles N. Klinck, Elmira Optometrist and Jeweller, was laid to rest on Monday and a large attendance at the funeral of relatives, friends and business associates from the business section, attested to the high esteem in which he was held. The funeral took place from Dreisinger's Funeral Chapel, thence to St. Paul's Lutheran Church, where services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. F. Malinsky.

Taken to the hospital the first week in June, the late Charles N. Klinck was seriously ill, and while hopes were held for his recovery, a poor heart condition saw him fail until the end and death occurred shortly after midnight on Friday, June 23^rd. For the past year he had been in poor health and while attending to business on a shortened hour basis, his friends noticed his decline in health quite noticeably in recent months. He was 67 years of age.

Generally well liked and highly respected throughout the community, Mr. Klinck spent all his life in the community, in which he was born. He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Klinck, Sr., and was born in Elmira on April 19^th, 1877.

For 49 years he practiced optometry in Elmira and enjoyed an enterprising business throughout the long term. He was also a jeweller for a like term. Being of a brilliant mechanical mind, the late Mr. Klinck had the reputation of being able to figure out most mechanical problems which came his way.

In his earlier years he was an electrician for a time, also a car mechanic and sold and serviced some of the first cars in Elmira. He won his greatest recognition in the mechanical windows designed and exhibited each year in the window of his store. The children of the present and of the past will long remember the thrills Mr. Klinck's Christmas scenes gave them over a long period of years. The windows were a marvel of mechanical ingenuity and Santa Claus was the star performer. All characters were endowed with life under the skillful touch of the master mechanic. The late Mr. Klinck spent many long hours planning and executing his mechanical displays but was always well rewarded with the joy brought to children throughout the years each time at Christmas.

A staunch supporter and devout member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, he served for many years on the board of the church and the school. Through his long connection with the church he took an active part in all its activities. He was president of the Fellowship Society and for many years taught in the Sunday School. His devotion to his church and its welfare were paramount considerations at all times, and as he served, he also lived a Christian life.

The late Charles Klinck was a member of the Elmira Board of Trade, the Elmira Community Service Club, president of the Elmira Musical Society for many years, and was organizer and secretary of two Elmira Old Boys' reunions in 1909 and 1923.
He was married on October 16^th 1901, to Nettie Ruppel, and from this union were born two sons, Otto of Elmira and Edward C. of Kitchener; two daughters, Miss Laura of Kitchener and (Esther), Mrs. A. H. Borchardt, Fisherville, all of whom survive. Brothers and sisters surviving are George of Elmira, August of Galt, Mrs. J. B. Lein of Kitchener, Mrs. William Heckendorn and Miss Ida Klinck of Elmira. Four brothers and one sister predeceased him.

The remains were laid to rest in Elmira Cemetery on Monday afternoon and the following were pallbearers: Aaron Hoffer, Oscar Weismiller, Oscar Ruppel, Henry Geisel, H.L. Weichel, Ed. Campbell.

Notes:

Catherine Klinck Hastings, August's daughter, talked with me a few years before she died, about growing up in Elmira. She remembered that her father August, who was a carpenter, had carved the ornate sides Christian Dreisinger's first motor hearse. In those early 1900s days, funeral home owners sometimes made their own hearses; perhaps because some were also carpenters. Christian Dreisinger wasn't a carpenter but family history about Dreisinger Funeral Home was that Christian had done the woodwork on his first hearse. Catherine expressed annoyance that her dad didn't receive the credit he was due for his fine work.

Notes:

EDWARD PFAFF.

Though Mr. Edward Pfaff may not as he puts it "do so much of it" the patrons of his barber shop can get anything in the tonsorial line that they can get anywhere else. This means that he has a thoroughly up-to-date barber shop in every respect and that it has all the facilities afforded by larger shops in larger towns. It is a three-chair shop and the leader in New Hamburg. Mr. Pfaff has been over seven years in business and is largely patronized, he and an assistant being kept busy. He keeps his shop scrupulously neat and gives close attention to business. He is well liked personally, a factor which draws trade no less than his good work. He carries a good line of tobaccos and cigars.

They manufactured frames for the upholstering industry and a lot of their goods were sent to Waterloo to the Snider Firm. Also at one time we had our own upholstering factory in town where the furniture factory office is now. It was run at that time by Martin Schendler. Ed Schierholtz and they used to employ Walter Hollinger, Norman Hollinger and Fodder Lein, Pete Weinstein, John Thomas, Henry Schmidt & myself & Milton Klinck.
