Notes:

GEORGE D SMITH

Tailoring is as essential to the general business interests of a community […calling,], and Heidelberg [ ] represented in this particular. Mr. Smith opened his shop here in February, 1895, but he was not a stranger to the citizens for it was here that he learned his trade with Mr. Jacob Forler in 1887. Like many others who have served the required apprenticeship, he went forth among strangers to gain further experience. He first worked as a 'jour" in Waterloo and finally in Tavistock, and subsequently spent some time in New York State, working at his trade in several of the leading cities, where he acquired an experience which has proved beneficial to him as a fashionable tailor. Previous to coming here Mr. Smith had a shop at Carthage, but not being satisfied with the locality he concluded to remove to Heidelberg. Since coming here he has built up a fine patronage where others have failed. Many of the best families of the neighborhood are his customers. Mr. Smith is a native of St Jacobs, where he was born in 1872, his father, Mr. Henry Smith, being a well known citizen of that village, who was an employee in the old Cannery there for over twenty-two years. The subject of this sketch was married in May, 1897, to Miss Clara, daughter of Mr. Henry Doering, of Erbsville. Mr. Smith ferquently employes as high as four or five hands. He takes a deep interest in the welfare of the village and undoubtedly contributes as much toward its support as does any other citizen in similar circumstances. He is a member of the band - a musical organization that has earned quite an enviable reputation for Heidelberg, and in which he takes a deep interest.

Death of Mr. Jacob Forler

Mr. Jacob Forler passed away shortly after 8 o'clock Tuesday morning, at his home on Queen Street, after an illness of almost three months, at the age of 37 years. The exact nature of the disease is hard to define, as it had baffled several doctors. There seemed to be a gradual wasting away, towards the end the arms becoming perfectly helpless. He suffered great pain, and during all the long days of sickness, he was unable to lie down, having to be propped up in bed. He bore his sufferings with Christian fortitude and the end was peaceful. He leaves a mourning widow, having married Sophia Reichert, who is a sister of Mrs. Peter Hymmen, about 16 years ago. There are no children. The deceased was a tailor and had been employed as head coatmaker by Mr. Geo. Bergman ever since he started in business. Prior to that time he was with the Boehmer Co. and was known as a thorough and obliging workman. He was insured for $1000 in the London & Lancashire Co. The funeral will be held on Friday afternoon from the residence to the German Baptist Church, of which he was a member, and thence to Mount Hope Cemetery.
