Notes:

Queen Street South, West Side.

A frame building used as a tavern by Phineas Varnum and later the kitchen of the Gaukel Hotel.

A frame building erected by Frederick Gaukel about 1833 as shelter for the considerable number of immigrants coming to Berlin at that time. In 1837 it was made into a dwelling for John Stroh, uncle of Jacob Stroh. Two children were born in this building, Katie, in 1838, (she married Jacob Oswald, still living, now 93 years of age), and Henry Stroh, born in 1840.

Hall's Lane.

A brick building erected about 1850. John Klein, father of John Klein of Buffalo, was the first occupant. Later the building was used as a printing office, first by the "Berlin Chronicle", William Jaffray editor and proprietor, and later by the "Berliner Journal", Rittinger & Motz. The site is now occupied by the Lockhart garage.

The Franklin Hotel, a handsome, good-sized frame building, erected by Philip Roth about 1856. Successive hotel-keepers were John Klein, Levi Gaukel, Frederick Riegelman, who later moved to Buffalo, and Jacob Weber. Weber was occupant in 1874 when the hotel was burned down. The fire started in the barn at the rear of the hotel. The hotel shed, next south, extended, at right angles, from Queen Street to the barn.

A garden.

A one and one-half story frame building lengthwise with the street occupied by Christopher K. Nahrgang whose parents came from Hessen, Germany, about 1835. He was married to a Miss Zinkann of New Hamburg.

A stone building used as a tailor shop by Mr. Nahrgang who was deaf and dumb. His wife helped him in the business. She lived to be 87. It was in this building that John Motz of the "Journal" and eventually County Sheriff, learned the tailoring trade.

A one and one-half story dwelling, erected about 1857, occupied by George Fischer, barber, who had his shop on King Street. A later occupant was George Lutz, a cabinet maker in Hoffman's factory and after him Henry Schaefer's mother.

A frame building lengthwise with the street, the church of the Evangelical denomination, erected in 1841. In 1866 it was replaced by the brick building still standing, now used as stores and upstairs dwellings.

A one and one-half story frame building with kitchen at the rear erected by William Becking, wagonmaker, about 1848. Becking was noted as a hunter. White hare and passenger pigeons, practically extinct long ago, were abundant at that time.

Becking's wagon-shop and lumber yard at the corner of John Street with the customary incline and stair to the second story of the shop. Up this incline the wagons were drawn to the paint shop. Valentine Gildner, at the corner of King and Benton Streets, did the blacksmith work for Becking's wagons.

John Street.

A one and one-half story house occupied by H. Baedecker in 1860 and later by Adam Doering.

Rev. F. W. Tuerk's residence erected about 1860 by Henry Rothaermel, a carpenter. The matching and planing was all done by hand, slow but thorough work. Window sashes, panel doors and all other requirements were made in the same manner. A skilled workman at that time was expected to he able to do painting as well as carpenter work. A single room in the shape of a square turret on the ridge of the building was Rev. Tuerk's study. The house was up-hill about twenty feet above the street level so that the study on top gave a good outlook. The site is now occupied by the York Apartments.

A frame building one and one-half story high.

Nothing but a building used as an ashery between that and Joseph E. Schneider's house and farm buildings.

Notes:

Passing of Edward Soehner - by the death on Thursday, May 16, of Edward Soehner, the community loses an esteemed citizen and the family a kind husband and loving father. The deceased, who was in his 34th year, had been ill for some time, and despite all efforts to regain his health was cut off in the prime of life. He came to Ayr just after attaining his manhood and was employed for a number of years as a moulder in the foundry. Later he engaged in business as a butcher, but was obliged to give up on account of continued ill-health. About ten years ago he married Miss Euphemia Grigg, who, together with a son and daughter - Earl and Marion - survive to mourn their loss. Mr. Soehner was a member of Court Forest of Lebranch, C.O.F., No. 75, Ayr, the members of which order, to the number of about 35, attended the funeral on Sunday in a body, interment being made in the Ayr Cemetery. The pallbearers were also foresters, those acting in that capacity being Bros. H. Griffin, A. Melvin, Chisholm Scott, Chris. Leiska, Robert Taylor and J. Urquhart. The services at both house and grave were conducted by Bro. Rev. W. E. S. James, pastor of the Methodist church. Mr. Soehner's mother and several brothers and sisters were among the mourners. The relatives from a distance who attended the obsequies included Mr. Walter Willison, sr., Mr. and Mrs. Walter Willison, jr., Wm. Willison, James Willison, B. Brown, Miss Jean Willison and Charles Soehner, Hamilton; Mrs. A. A. Reid and son, Guelph; Mrs. Soehner, sr., Mr. and Mrs. Alf Soehner, and Mr. and Mrs. Graff, Waterloo; Mr. John Grigg, Chicago, and Mrs. Geo. Evans, London. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful.

Beaupres Soon Back In New Location

Dunker Construction Company, Ltd., is now in the process of rebuilding the Wettlaufer block, 112 King St., South, Waterloo which was destroyed in a $100,000 fire July 5th.

Beaupre's Decorating Centre was originally housed in the bottom portion of the building and the top floor had four apartments.

The Beaupre, store will return after the work is finished. Apartments will also be built above the store. It is expected the block will be finished in about a month.

The building is owned by Mrs. William Wettlaufer, who received burns on the arm and chest as she fled from a rear exit of the upstairs apartment in the fire.

Eleven persons were left homeless and the Beaupre store which had just recently been remodeled, was completely destroyed. The loss was only partially covered by insurance.

Harold and Louis Beaupre who operate the Beaupre Store, are conducting business from a smaller adjacent store

WATERLOO'S WORST FIRE DESTROYS BEAUPRE'S STORE [112 King St., South, Waterloo]

Wettlaufer Block Tenants Flee $100,000 Blaze

One of the most disastrous fires in the modern history of Waterloo gutted the City's newest business last Friday night, when the newly remodelled Beaupre's Paint and Wallpaper store was almost totally destroyed.

The building which housed the store and four apartments, was owned by Mrs. William Wettlaufer. Mrs. Wettlaufer received severe burns on the arms and chest as she fled from a rear exit, of the upstairs apartment.

It was on May 16th, that Harold and Louis Beaupre opened their new store, after months of preparation and re-modelling. The most modern design and fixtures were incorporated into the store, and all who visited it considered it the showplace of Waterloo. In a matter of minutes, the results of months of planning and preparation went up in smoke, as the high wind fanned the flames in all directions. Damage is tentatively set at $100,000.

The Waterloo Fire Department received the fire alarm at 6.32 p.m., and were on the scene two minutes later, but the fire had gained too much headway. Their efforts were directed at confining it, and preventing it from spreading to nearby buildings.

Eight firemen, including Deputy fire Chief Charles Waurechen, received minor injuries.

All apartment tenants except Mrs. Walter Schnarr managed to get out of the building without help. Mrs. Schnarr was brought down a ladder from a front window.

She insisted that a bird cage with a budgie be rescued before she would leave the building. It was reported another bird perished in the fire.

The area for blocks around was enveloped by dense smoke from burning paint which could be seen for miles.

Both Waterloo and Kitchener fire departments fought the fire for two hours before it was considered under control.

Twenty off-duty Kitchener firemen and 20 from the Waterloo department worked under Chief Pagel and Fire Chef Kenneth Putnam of Kitchener.
