  • Notes 
    • Mrs. Frank Bialkowski

      The death occurred very suddenly yesterday afternoon of Mrs. Frank Bialkowski in her 71st year. The late Mrs. Bialkowski had apparently been as well as usual during the day, having spent several hours in the garden. She visited her daughter's home at five o'clock and when her husband returned to the house at six o'clock he found her on the floor. Medical aid was summoned but life was extinct, the doctor pronounced death due to heart failure. The late Mrs. Bialkowski was born in Germany but had been a resident of this city for 58 years. She is survived by her husband, two sons, Leo and Albert of this city and six daughters, Mrs. Chris Karges, Mrs. R. Dyer and Mrs. A. Solomon of Waterloo and Mrs. Frank Hoch, Mrs. John Shoemaker and Mrs. Otto Solomon of this city. Two brothers John and Jacob Wintermeyer of this city, and two sisters, Mrs. John Weber of Calgary and Mrs. Joseph Mosburger of St. Agatha also survive in addition to 30 grandchildren. The funeral will take place Monday morning at nine o'clock from her late residence, 77 Strange street, to St. Mary's church. Burial will be made in Mount Hope R.C. cemetery.
