North Easthope Man Fatally Injured In Car Accident

Joseph Wilhem Almost Instantly Killed When Car Overturns

A fatal automobile accident occurred in North Easthope near Ratzburg on Sunday afternoon in which Mr. Joseph Wilhem, an esteemed pioneer resident of the Township, lost his life. The car in which he was a passenger skidded in loose gravel and turned over. Others in the car were his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Moses Rupp and Miss Gladys Fink, all of Kitchener. They escaped with minor injuries. Mr. Wilhelm suffered a fractured spine and died almost immediately from shock. The car is said to have been driven by Mr. Rupp.

The aged man, who was in his 89^th year, had spent the winter with his daughter in Kitchener and they were on their way to his own home in North Easthope when the accident occurred.

The late Mr. Wilhelm was born in Wilmot Township on May 30, 1852, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Peter Wilhelm. Following his marriage in 1875, to Mattie Roth of North Easthope, he settled in that township, purchasing the farm now occupied by his son, Hardie near Amulree.

The deceased was well known and highly esteemed in the district. He farmed for many years and was also a minister of the Reformed Mennonite church, having served the congregation at Amulree, Kingwood and Hostetler's, near New Hamburg. He had lived retired for some years owing to failing health.

His wife predeceased him in 1928.
