RAILWAY CROSSING A DEATH- TRAP.

Benjamin Bricker, of Roseville, and his grand-daughter, Miss Maud Bricker, narrowly escaped an awful death Wednesday morning, driving across the C.P.R. tracks on the Roseville Road, west of the Galt cemetery by being struck by the 10.23 express, going east. As it was, the rear end of the waggon was struck, and Mr. Bricker was violently hurled to the road, the wagon smashed into kindling wood, and the horse ran away. Miss Bricker escaped injury by jumping, but the extent of Mr. Bricker's injuries are not known. Immediately after the accident the train was brought to a standstill, and Mr. and Miss Bricker were taken to the station in the train, and Dr. Hawk was summoned. The doctor ordered Mr. Bricker removed to the hospital, but before he had an opportunity to examine him. a message was received from Roseville, asking that he be taken home. The ambulance conveyed him thence.

The Galt Reformer says that the crossing where the accident occurred is a veritable death trap, and that It was nothing short of a miracle that Mr. and Miss Bricker were not killed.

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

King Street , North Side

Pandora Street

Pandora Street and next to it the site of Bishop Benjamin Eby's buildings and farm. A fine lawn surrounded a large frame house with spacious veranda between the house and King Street. There was a large barn and east of it a cider mill operated by Ely Eby, son of the Bishop. In later years the place was occupied by Rev. Moses Erb and his son Menno Erb, the cider mill long continuing. There was a large orchard between the farm buildings and the Mennonite Meeting House and cemetery. The Mennonites had at first no shed adjoining their church. Posts joined by a chain led along the King Street front, for tying horses. The sheds came later. In 1834 a frame building was erected for this Church. It was moved to Cedar Street in 1902 when the present brick Church was erected and is still used as a woodenware factory.

Eby school house was located at the easterly corner of the cemetery. A frame building, painted red, before 1830. In the rear and to the east of the cemetery was William Moyer's farm with his brick house still standing at the top of the slope from King Street.

BRIDGEPORT MAN COMMITS SUICIDE

Suffering From Mental Trouble Aged Patient Leaves Hospital; Found Hanging From Tree

A search for Levi Snider, aged about 70, of Bridgeport, who escaped from the K-W hospital about five o'clock yesterday afternoon, ended at eight o'clock this morning, when his body was found hanging from a tree in front of the farm of William Shantz, Glasgow road, just outside the city limits. The man had committed suicide by hanging himself with a heavy scarf. When found by a resident of the Shantz farm, Snider had been dead for some hours. Coroner F. H. Kalbfleisch was of the opinion the man had been strangled. There will be no inquest.

The late Mr. Snider had been a patient at the K-W hospital for less than a week . He was undergoing mental treatment and was not confined to his bed as many of the other patients were. Shortly after five o'clock, his absence was notified and the city police were notified. The officers were given a description of the man, but no trace of him was found.

A large number of Bridgeport residents formed a search party and scoured the district. Several came to Kitchener and at eight o'-clock notified the provincial police of the disappearance of the man. Immediately, two cars were sent out in search of Snider. Inspector McCaffrey and Sergeant Gardner were --- one car which drove thru parts of the city, at one time were within 400 feet of the place where the body was found this morning. A heavy mist made it difficult for the officers to see clearly.

This morning Irvin C. Hallman notified the provincial police that the body had been found. The remains were removed to the Bechtel and Dreisinger undertaking parlors.

THE LATE JOSIAH STAUFFER

The widespread expressions of regret occasioned by the passing of the late Josiah Stauffer and the unusually large number who gathered from all parts of the county to pay a final tribute of respect at the obsequies of the deceased, indicated the high degree in which he commanded the regard of the community.

Those who enjoyed the privilege of his acquaintance, and he had an especially large. circle of friends, came to recognize his sterling qualities of character and such was their confidence in his integrity and business ability that he was elected to positions of responsibility and honor in business and municipal life as well as in the political field.

For years the late Mr. Stauffer conducted a large and successful farm, also associating himself with other activities. When the position of manager of the North Waterloo. Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company became vacant owing to the death of his father. In 1909 he succeeded to that office and during his occupancy of the position the company continued to grow and expand until to-day it is one of the leading Farmers Mutuals of the province. His high standing in the insurance. field was recently further evidenced in his election to the presidency of the Ontario Fire Underwriters' Association.

The late Mr. Stauffer was also prominently identified with the municipal affairs of the County, serving with characteristic efficiency and zeal. For nine years Mr. Stauffer was a member of the Waterloo Township Council, the last two years of which he filled the position of Reeve.

A staunch Liberal in polities he for many years actively associated himself with the Liberal party of the riding, being for a number of years the president of the North Waterloo Reform Association.

The late Mr. Stauffer had the happy faculty of making and retaining friends. He was not only broadminded in his views but genial and approachable and his passing at the comparatively early age of sixty-one years after a short illness was a matter of keen sorrow to his associates in the various organizations with which he was identified. In the family circle especially, where his kindliness and largeness of heart found frequent expression, will his loss be deeply mourned,

His splendid record of service to the community in which he was a leading figure and in the positions of trust which he filled with such acceptance will remain as an enduring monument to his endeavors and his name will be revered as one who exemplified most worthily the qualities of good citizenship.

AMOS BRICKER

Here is another enterprising and hard working young farmer. Despite the fact that his home was entirely destroyed by fire seven years ago his family is comfortably situated beneath the roof of a neat and spacious brick house. The cause which resulted in the destruction of the old house was lightning. His place is well supplied with wind-mill power, which is utilized in pumping and forcing water conveniently to the house and barnyard and grinding and cutting feed for his cattle. He has fattened twenty head of cattle this season, and has several fine animals about ready for the market now, and has twelve cows of the Durham and Holstein cross and Holstein and Jersey also. He keeps six horses. Last year be produced 1,730 bushels of wheat, 1,100 bushels of oats and 250 bushels of peas. He is the father of five children, two of them being fine twin boys. It is not likely that they will ever want for the necessities of life while under the parental roof, as the father and mother seem to be amply capable of producing everything in that line in abundance.

ELIJAH B. BRICKER.

This young and prosperous agriculturist, residing in section 4, Greenwood township, was born on a farm in Waterloo county, Ontario, Canada, January 22, 1858, a son of Benjamin and Esther (Bechtel ) Bricker, residents of the same county and the parents of thirteen children. Elijah B. Bricker was reared to farming on the Canadian homestead, and was educated in the common schools. November 26, 1878, he married, in Waterloo, Ontario, Miss Louisa Burkholder, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Erb) Burkholder, both of whom died in Waterloo county. Of the nine children born to these parents, Mrs. Bricker is the youngest, and was born October 19, 1861. The young couple came to St. Clair county, Michigan, in April, 1879, and settled on the farm which they still occupy, and which Mr. Bricker has improved with all the modern conveniences that go to make the farmer's life congenial and profitable. His dwelling is one of the best in the township, his outbuildings are commodious and substantial, and his one hundred and sixty acres are under a fine state of cultivation. Mr. Bricker gives a great deal of attention to the breeding, fattening and shipping of choice grades of live stock, as well as to buying and selling. For eight years he shipped stock quite extensively to Buffalo markets. His breeding has been of the grade shorthorn, his herd of about forty head being one of the choicest line of grade animals in the state. One of the modern improvements is a one -hundred-ton silo, which is filled with the corn crop, and furnishes the best food for all stock.

The three children born to Mr. and Mrs. Bricker on this farm were named as follows; Ira, who graduated from the Yale high school with the class of 1901, and is now the cashier of the State Savings Bank at Feck, Michigan, a position voluntarily offered him when he was attending the Detroit University; Ora, who died when but six months old, and Roy, a student in the Yale high school.

In politics Mr. Bricker is a Republican, and has served his party and his fellow citizens as delegate to convetitions and in the offices of school director and highway commissioner. He is public spirited, is a friend to public improvements, and a strong advocate of public instruction, and is ready at all times to aid financially such undertakings as will conduce to the prosperity and well doing of the public at large.

Fraternally Mr. Bricker Is a member of the Ancient Order of Gleaners, Modern Woodmen of America, and Star Grange, and has held all the principal offices in those societies. In social circles Mr. and Mrs. Bricker hold a very high station, being classed with the best people. As a business man Mr. Bricker's every transaction has been honest and straight forward, and his good faith has never been o'ercast by the shadow of a doubt. By his hard work and strict frugality he has become one of the most substantial citizens of Greenwood township, and the credit is dtie to himself alone, aided by the willing assistance of his amiable helpmate, who is entitled to a share of the credit.

GEORGE BRICKER.

One of the youngest of the rising farmers ol Greenwood township is George Bricker, who was born in Waterloo county, Ontario, September 24, 1866, and is a son of Benjamin and Esther (Bechtel) Bricker, of whom mention is made in the biography of Elijah B. Bricker, an elder brother, to be found on another page of this work, and who are still residents of Ontario. George Bricker, a younger member of the large family, thirteen in number, reared by his parents, was brought up to farming on the home place, oh which he lived until he reached twenty-two years of age, when, in the spring of 1889, he came to Greenwood township with his wife and settled on the farm of one hundred and sixty acres, in section 9, where he still resides, engaged in farming and stock raising.

The marriage of George Bricker took place in Waterloo county, Ontario, March 13. 1889, to Miss Mary Ann Good, a daughter of Jonathan and Maria (Rosenberger) Good, also natives of Ontario, and late residents of Alberta, where he died in 1902. Mr. and Mrs. Good are the parents of eleven children, and of these Mrs. Bricker is the fourth in order of birth, her nativity having taken place in Waterloo county, Ontario, June 6. 1867. To Mr. and Mrs. Bricker have been born three children, named, in order of birth, Eden, Ruth and Harvey.

In politics Mr. Bricker is a Republican, and has the full confidence of his party, whom he has served with ability and faithfulness as school inspector and as a member of school board for several years. He prefers, however, to devote his time and attention to the cultivation of his farm, but is ever ready to work in the political field w"hen called upon. He is no office seeker, and serves his party and his fellow citizens rather from feelings of duty than from a desire of profit or emolument. As a farmer, he has been successful, and as a citizen he holds a high position in the esteem of his neighbors, who respect him for his integrity as well as his industry and many personal good qualities. He and Mrs. Bricker mingle with the best social circles of Greenwood township, and the children are growing in favor each day, and promise to become, in the near future, useful and valuable members of society.
