Notes:

No sketch of New Hamburg would be complete without the name of Mr. Louis Peine connected with it. He has been so long a resident of the place, and so closely identified with its life and progress, that his name seems almost as familiar as that of the town itself. Mr. Peine was born in New Hamburg and began life as a school teacher. He soon abandoned the school room, however, for the more congenial paths of commerce. He took up fire insurance and also established a Stationery Business and for 30 years has been one of New Hamburg's most highly respected business men. Painstaking and thorough in all that he undertakes, these qualities have made him an ideal insurance man. Risks are safe entrusted to Mr. Peine. No less thorough was he in public affairs so that one would natually expect his fellow citizens to place him in positions of public trust. And such they have done. He was a member of the Public School Board for 18 years. He sat in Council and was Reeve for 6 years in succession. At the earnest request of his fellow ratepayers, he returned again to the Reeve's chair after an interval of several years. Possessing a good grasp of public affairs and being of a progressive disposition Mr. Peine has done yeoman's service in building up New Hamburg and in making it the busy centre that it is today. He is connected with at least one of the important manufacturing concerns of New Hamburg in the capacity of an excutive officer. Mr. Peine devotes himself largely to his insurance interests, the stationery store and C. P. R. ticket and telegraph office being in charge of his son, Mr. F. L. Peine.

Notes:

Fred Peine Dies From Pneumonia - ILL ONLY A FEW DAYS - It was with deep regret that the news spread about town on Wednesday afternoon that Mr. Fred L. Peine, well known stationer and insurance man, passed away at his home on Jacob street. It had been known that he was seriously ill with pneumonia, but the best was hoped for. He took to his bed last Saturday and besides the local doctor, Dr. Glaister, of Wellesley, was called in consolation. A specialist from Toronto arrived on Wednesday morning, but nothing could be done and death claimed him shortly before one o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. The late Mr. Peine was born in New Hamburg on February 19th, 1878, and was a lifelong resident of this town. He was a son of the late Louis Peine and Mrs. Peine. After his public school education he attended the Galt Collegiate Institute and then entered his father's business here as stationer, insurance, C. P. R. telegrapher and ticket agent. This business he continued with his brother, Ted, after their father's death, five years ago. He was a faithful member of Trinity Lutheran Church and was superintendent of the Sunday School for the past five years. He was also a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and in politics a staunch Conservative. The deceased was married in 1902 to Miss Marian Schaaf, daughter of the late Wm. Schaaf and Mrs. Schaaf. He leaves his sorrowing widow, his mother, one brother, Theodore, and two sisters, Misses Charlotte and Henrietta, all of this town, to mourn his sudden demise. The funeral will take place from his late home at 1.30 o'clock on Saturday, December 20th, to Trinity Lutheran Church for se-vice, followed by interment in Riverside Cemetery. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of the whole community in their sad loss.
