Notes:

Bleam. - Lilly Elizabeth, daughter of William and Lilly Spaetzel, was born in Waterloo Co., Ont., April 9, 1852. She was united in marriage to Dilman Bleam in Waterloo Co., Ont., and came with him to his parent's home in Bowne, Mich., where they lived for a time. They then went back to Canada where they lived for four years after which they came again to Bowne and she has since lived on the Bleam homestead, where she reared her family of four children and devotedly cared for her husband's parents and invalid sister while they lived. Her eldest daughter, Mrs. Adeline Overholt, passed away in Feb. 1914 and her husband Dilman Bleam passed away Dec. 26, 1926. Mrs. Bleam united with the Mennonite Church in her early married life and her daily life in the home and elsewhere gave plenty of evidence of the fruits of a true devoted Christian life. She was very meek and humble in her manners, kind and gentle to all, and devoted to her home and loved ones. Hers was a life filled with hard work, much sorrow and many cares, but she never wavered in doing her duty and sacrificed health, mentally and bodily in her efforts to be faithful. She had been in very poor health for several years during which time she was tenderly cared for by her son, Albert and wife with whom she lived. She passed away at her home July 28, 1928; aged 76 y. 3 m. 19 d. She is survived by her three children: Albert, at the home; Arthur, of Grand Rapids; Mrs. Angeline Skedgill of Hastings; also ten grandchildren; two brothers, Davis Spaetzel of Saniac Co. Mich., Samuel Spaetzel of Buffalo, N. Y., and a host of other relatives and friends.

Sweetly rest, our dearest mother,
In the arms of Him who knows,
All the heartaches, cares, and sorrows,
That have been your lot here below.
Funeral services conducted by D. A. Yoder and Aldus Brackbill. Text, Psa. 23.

PHOTO SERIES: CELEBRATING WR MAKERS IN NEW DUNDEE

ERIN APPLEBEE·NOVEMBER 6, 2020

The Dundee Arts Collective gallery and makers market officially opened to the public in early October 2020.

When a dream opportunity presented itself to Jenny Miller and Kate Cox, co-founders of The Dundee Arts Collective, a global pandemic was not going to stand in their way.

The origins of this opportunity began while Miller and Cox were taking pottery classes two years ago with Rosemary Jenkins at Dundee Pottery in the historic Fiederlein building in New Dundee. They built a relationship with Jenkins, who suggested they open a gallery and shop in the space.

"Jenny and I both independently have always dreamed about opening a business like this, with the added piece that it's a multi-purpose arts space where we run classes and lessons. When Rosemary presented us with this opportunity, we were really excited to see our dream coming to life in this amazing historic building," Cox said.

Nestled in a growing artistic community in New Dundee, this historic building can trace its history back to 1906 when the building was bought by William Spaetzel.

Spaetzel operated a harness shop and was known for his "pneumatic horse collar" invention. An employee of Spaetzel's, Albert Fiederlein, married into the family and took over the harness business until 1946. Fiederlein and his son Robert transitioned the building into cold storage and operated the Red and White Grocery Store there until 1991.

For Miller and Cox, both practicing artists with strong business management backgrounds, opening a business during a pandemic has not been easy. In a time when a lot of other businesses were scaling back and feeling unsure about the future, Miller and Cox saw a need for a business like The Dundee Arts Collective.

"Both Jenny and I were listening to people, and hearing that a lot of people were really digging into their creativity … people were becoming really passionate about finding ways to expand their skills, outside of being at home," Cox said.

"People have picked up something that they thought was just a hobby, and then they have realized that it is actually a real passion. I think this space is giving them a place to show and share their work and also encouraging them to take it seriously."

As a gallery, The Dundee Arts Collective supports the sale of work by local artists with an appreciation of the natural landscape.

"We live in such a beautiful, beautiful part of Canada, and that is really reflected in a lot of artists' work around here, and that is something that is really important to Jenny and I. You can look around and see that all of the conversation is around nature, the natural world and how we fit in," Cox said.

As a truly multi-purpose space, The Dundee Arts Collective operates as more than just a gallery, it is a place for exchanging knowledge. Offering an emerging artist corner in the gallery was something Cox was excited to share.

"With the experiences that Jenny and I have, we are able to coach them, in terms of presentation or how they should be thinking about pricing," Cox said.

"We work a fair bit with artists helping them to understand their worth. We often think [as artists] this just comes so naturally, and we tend to underprice what we're doing."

At The Dundee Arts Collective, there will always be a section for emerging artists. Part of the larger vision of founders will be to engage the artists in the community.

"We have some exciting projects coming up that we would like to invite our artists to participate in. One of them is [a collection of] take-out projects …each one is designed by a local artist, so you can come by, grab a take-out project to go," Cox said.

The Dundee Arts Collective currently has full safety precautions in place, including one-way doors, sanitization procedures and small class sizes.

They are currently opened Thursday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for visitors. They are also offering evening workshops, children's birthdays and bridal party options. Private evening experiences in the gallery happen on Thursdays and Fridays in November and December.

"We are finding ways to help people feel confident and comfortable coming in here … We're just very excited to share this space with people."

ERBSVILLE.

(Too late for last week.) Death of Mrs. John Bierman. - It becomes our sad duty to report this week the death of Mrs. Jno. Bierman which took place on Monday of last week. The news comes as a sudden and unexpected shock to the many friends of the family, as it had not been generally known that the deceased had been ailing, much less that she was so near death's door. The cause of her death is given as premature childbirth, accompanied by convulsions. That her death was most unexpected will be understood when it is known that the deceased milked a cow on the morning of the day of her death, and attended to her, other various household duties as usual. Dr. Armitage was sent for at noon, and he expressed his opinion on leaving the house that Mrs. Bierman would recover. But internal cramps seized her in the afternoon, and she was soon beyond all human aid, breathing her last about 8 o'clock in the evening. Her end was peaceful. Thus are we snatched suddenly from life unto death. The late Mrs. Bierman (whose maidea name was Trussler), was 33 years, 11 months, of age, and had been married to Mr. Bierman for 17 years. She was the, mother of six children, only three of whom survive her. One of these is the prematurely born infant, which is said to be thriving well. The others. are little girls of 9 and 4 years of age. The bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of sorrowing friends, who respected and admired the departed for her many gentle and Christian qualities..

Servant of God, well done
Thy glorious warfare's past;
The battle's fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.

In condescending love,
Thy ceaseless prayer He heard,
And bade thee suddenly remove
They they complete reward.

In ecstasies of praise,
O, happy, happy, soul,
Long as eternal ages roll,
Thu see'st they Saviour's face.

Gordon Rohr, 38, Killed When Automobile Leaps to Sidewalk

Wilfred Schmitt, 21, Conestogo, Faces Criminal Negligence Charge.

HAPPENED ON SCHOOL HILL

Gordon Rohr, 38, died early Sunday morning at the K.-W. Hospital, following an automobile accident Saturday night, and Wilfred Schmitt, 21, Conestogo, is in the county jail at Kitchener charged with criminal negligence.

Provincial police say Rohr was walking along the sidewalk at Bridgeport, when Schmitt's car skidded off the road, ran between a pole and a tree and struck Rohr. According to Schmitt he was blinded by the headlights of an approaching car, put on his brakes, and swerved out of the pathway of the car.

Rohr was rushed to the hospital and attended by Dr. N. A. Morrison, who said death was caused by a fracture of the base of the skull and laceration of the brain. An inquest will be held.

Rohr was single, and employed on the Jacob Jacobi farm near Bridgeport. He was born in Baden, and is survived by four brothers, Maurice of Kitchener, Ira of Linwood, Sam of Roseville, and Harvey of Drum- bo, and one sister, Mrs. J. Tschirhart, Kitchener. The funeral was held yesterday from the Ratz- Bechtel Funeral Home to Mannheim Lutheran Church for service, followed by interment in the adjoining cemetery.

Acquit Youth Of Manslaughter

Wilfred Schmitt, 21, Baden, Not to Blame in Bridgeport Death.

Wilfred Schmitt, 21, Baden, appearing in Kitchener police court on Tuesday morning, was acquitted on a charge of manslaughter which has been facing him for almost a month.

Schmitt was charged after his car struck Gordon Rohr as the latter was walking up the hill near the school at Bridgeport. Rohr received a fractured skull, succumbing later in the hospital.

On motion of Crown Attorney W. P. Clement, the charge was dismissed by Magistrate Col. Winter of Simcoe. Mr. Clement pointed out that evidence produced at the inquest showed that Schmitt was in no way negligent. His car skidded while making a turn, striking Rohr who was walking on the sidewalk.
