George Diebel, unknown - 1922
Little is known about George Diebel’s early life including when and where he was born. In 1876 he became a partner with Cyrus Bricker in the “Great Corner Store” in Unit #1 of the Commercial Block at King and Erb Street. In 1905, upon the death of former mayor Christian Kumpf, Diebel became Waterloo’s new postmaster, a position he held until his death in 1922. Diebel sat on town council as an alderman from 1889-1891 and again in 1893. His two-year mayoral term began in 1899. In that year, the new Municipal Act reduced the representation on Council to the mayor and six instead of twelve councillors. With Diebel as mayor, Waterloo established its own Water Commission in 1899 to supply the town with water that had previously been supplied by Berlin (Kitchener). In that year council also petitioned the Governor-General “praying for the erection of suitable public buildings in the Town of Waterloo” also striking an agreement with Berlin to purchase land for extending Moore Avenue and Waterloo Street. The following year council aided the Goderich Railway Company by approving the extension of rail lines through the town. From the City of Waterloo Website 2005

Notes:

Death of Wm. Ratz

"It never rains but it pours," is an adage that may be applied to the happenings affecting a prominent family of Elmira. Last week while the corpse of the only son of Mr. Daniel Ratz was being brought home from Toronto for burial, the latter's brother, Mr. Simon H. Ratz, received a telegram from Ottawa stating that his son William was lying at the hospital with a severe attack of Typhoid fever. MR. Ratz departed immediately for Ottawa found matters ? ? and was obliged to send a message home Saturday morning to the effect that the young man had died.

Wm. F. Ratz, was born in Elmira on the 22nd of September, 1883. He attended the public school here and proved a bright scholar, passing the Entrance examination when twelve years old. At 14 he passed the junior matriculation examination at the Guelph Collegiate Institute, after which he took a civil engineering course at the School of Practical Science passing his examination for civil engineer at 18 years of age. At this examination he obtained the highest honors in his class. In 1902 he entered his apprenticeship as Dominion Land Surveyor serving under J. F. Johnston, of New Westminster, B. C. and worked for a year in southern British Columbia. Til 1904 he was employed in the Surveyor General's office, Department of the Interior. He then obtained his commission as Dominion Land Surveyor, again with the highest honors. From that time until his death he worked on the Alaska boundary Survey in the Department of the Interior, under Dr. W. F. King, Chief Astronomer and His Majesty's Boundary Commissioner. Few men of his age have attained so high a position in the civil service of our country, and his chances of promotion were very bright, but it was not to be.

Deceased was held in high esteem by his associates, one of whom was Mr. Joshua Umbach son of our townsman, Mr. J. L. Umbach, at whose home he went in and out as though they were brothers. Dr. King also thought very highly of him. Mr. H. S. Mussell, who for four years had been the desk mate of deceased in the office, as well as his associate in field work, accompanied Mr. Ratz to Elmira with the remains.

The young man was sick in the hospital only five days though the insidious typhoid had probably been working in his system for some time.

He was a young man of pleasing and general disposition and of exceptional ability before whom stood, as far as man could see, a promising career. However, death intervened and cut short this young life, leaving his relatives and friends to mourn their great loss, in which the whole community sympathizes.

The funeral took place this (Wednesday) afternoon.

Notes:

Abram Lincoln Ratz
The community was shocked at the news of the sudden death of Mr. A. Lincoln Ratz in Belleville hospital on the night of April 2^nd. Although in apparent good health, he suffered a severe stroke at Trenton on Tuesday afternoon and died shortly after being admitted to the hospital.
Born on Sept. 13, 1885, he obtained his primary education in the Elmira Public School, and later continued in the Kitchener Business College. He then entered the employ of the Traders' Bank serving first at Elmira and then at Tavistock. During this time he was keenly interested in sport, particularly hockey in which game he was the goal-keeper for the local seven. In 1904 he moved to Estevan, Sask., remaining there until 1908 when on the death of his father he returned to Elmira and within a few years, he, with Messrs Rahn and Wittich, formed a partnership to continue the former Ratz Bros.' flour mill. Shortly after the advent of Hydro in Elmira he joined the local staff, being variously employed in line work, house installation and cashier of the local office. He served as a sapper in the expeditionary forces with service in France during the great war. Since 1933 he had been at the R.C.A.F. camp at Trenton.
Familiarly known as "Link" to all in his home town, he had endeared himself to young and old alike and many will mourn his sudden passing.
He was unmarried and is survived by two sisters, Salome of London and Aileen of Drumheller, Alta.; also two brothers, Earl of Ottawa and Lorne of Oshawa.
The remains were brought to Elmira from Belleville on Saturday and the funeral took place from the Dreisinger Funeral Chapel here on Monday afternoon. The services were conducted here by Rev. C. H. Cornwell, pastor of the local Evangelical church, assisted by Rev. W. J. Zimmerman of Bridgeport. The pallbearers were Messrs. E. Daum, W. Martin, T. Koeber, R. Cleghorn, D. Keller and H.O. Weichel. Interment took place in the Elmira cemetery.
Among those from a distance attending the funeral were Miss Salome Ratz of London, Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Ratz and son of Oshawa, Mr. Earl Ratz of Ottawa and Mr. Doerbecker and daughters of Kitchener.
