Notes:

The report that Rev. D. Dippel, an aged minister of the Evangelical Association who had been superannuated a member of years and who had made his house here where he was occasionally called to service, had died, was not altogether unexpected, since it was well known that his health had been rapidly failing of late. The deceased was born in Germany and emigrated to Canada in his early manhood. While engaged in farm and other labor he made one of his spare time in fitting himself for the ministry and in due time he was ordained into the regular service of the Evangelical Association in which field he worked close to 40 years, being removed as is customary in the ministry of this denomination, from one circuit to another until his work had brought him in contact with the greater portion of German speaking adherents of the Evangelical denominations in Canada, amongst, whom he was greatly esteemed for his warmest Christian and manly qualities.

EDITH C. EDLER PASSED AWAY
CALLED RATHER SUDDENLY FROM THE VALE OF TEARS TO THE HOME ABOVE
The people of Elmira last Thursday received a great surprise and shock when they heard that Miss Edith C. Edler had passed away, for few had heard of her illness at least of any serious condition. On the previous Tuesday evening, while on her way to attend the school concert, she suddenly collapsed. She was taken home and a doctor was called. He, however, could do nothing for her as she lapsed into a coma and never regained consciousness. Kidney trouble caused her death.
The deceased was born near Elmira, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Edler. She attended Elmira public school and Kitchener high school. Later she got a good position in Detroit, where she remained for a number of years. Here, also, she was active in church and Sunday Schoolwork. About a year ago ill health compelled her to come home for a rest. She was able to go back for a time, but again had to cease work, the insidious disease having undermined her system.
She is survived by one brother, Albert of Seaforth, and six sisters, namely, Carrie, Luella an Marie at home, Ethel (Mrs. R. Haueh) of Moncton, N. B., Vina of Detroit and Violetta of Kitchener.
The funeral took place on Monday afternoon. Rev. E. H. Bean, of the Evangelical church, preached the funeral sermon, taking from Jer. 15:9 the words: "Her sun went down while it was still day." The pallbearers were: Aaron Miller, Wm. G. Brox, Sylvester Bowman, O. H. Schmidt, Addison Shoemaker and Menno Snider.
