Death Comes as Shock
The following clipping was taken
from the Dundas Paper. "Dundas
was plunged into gloom yesterday
when word was received of the
tragic death of Milton Finkbeiner
in an automobile accident near
Caledonia early in the morning.
The late Mr. Finkbeiner, who for
tht past four years had been a resi
dent of Dundas, was employed as a
teller in the local Canadian Bank
of Commerce. The deceased was
one of the most popular younger
businessmen of the town and ris
death proved a severe shock to his
host of friends. Just before the
young man left Dundas on his last
automobile trip a friend said good
bye to him. ‘Don’t say good-bye;
just wish me a happy New Year,’ he
replied, it was related yesterday.”

Death of Airs. Jacob Kellennajm
Tht sympathy of the community
was touched on Monday morning
when it was learned that Mrs. Jacob
Kellerman had passed peacefully
away. The late Mrs. Kellerman
had been in her usual health up to
a couple of days before her demise
when pneumonia set in and the end
came very swiftly. Her maiden name
was Hannah Maria r'ried, daughter
of the late Mr. A, Fried, of Dash
wood. She -was born August 28th,-
1868; was united in holy wedlock
to Jacob Kellerman in the year 1S88
and died on January Stli, 1934 and
reached the age of b5 years, four
months and eleven says. All that
good nursing could do was done but
to no avail, and we have every reason
to believe that when the summons,
came to her to leave this earthly ta
bernacle and join the ransomed hosts
above it found her ready and only
waiting her Master’s call. Her ill
ness she had borne with patience and
resignation. She is survived by her
sorrowing husband and four children
(Ethel) Mrs. Dr. E. Broughton and
Grace, of Toronto; Czar and Harold
i at home, two grandchildren, one sis
ter Mrs. C. Fritz, of Zurich and one
brother Emmanuel of -Cashmere,
Wash, and many other relatives and
friends. The deceased was an ac
tive member of the Evangelican
church and the Ladies’ Aid and was.
beloved by all who knew her. The
floral tributes were many and beau
tiful showing the esteem in which
the deceased was held. The funeral
was held on Wednesday afternoon
from the home and to the Evangel

Obituary
Victor Frederick Ehlers,Heinrich
familiarly known as Henry Ehlers,
of Dashwood, Ont., died Sunday af
ternoon December 31st, 1933, at the
home of his daughter Mrs. Edgar R.
Siebert in Detroit, Mich. He was
born in Suebaw Mecklenberg Sch
werin Germany, August 7th
thus attaining the age of St
4 months and 24 days at the time
of his death. In 1878 he was mar
ried to Augusta Weber who prede
ceased him in death October 6, 1927
Four children were born to this< un
ion. They are: Jacob H., of Indian
apolis, Ind.; John Emmanuel, Atlan
tic, Io.; Wilbur W., of Emporia, Kan
and Minnie Adline Siebert, of Detroit
Mich. These together with four
grandchildren, one sister, numerous
nephews and nieces= and many neigh
bors' add friends mourn the passing
over yonder of a loving father, a
cherished friend and a respected
citizen. Mr, Ehlers believed in the
Christian religion and practiced his
faith in a practical way. He frequent
ly was found going on errands of
mercy to both young and old. Un
selfishness was an abiding character
istic. Much as he believed in prac-
1S48
years,
tical service he also had a sincere
appreciation of worship and of the
• church of which he was a devoted
. member. Therefore he was one of
the early leaders establishing
phases of worship and prayer in a
small chapel in Blacfcbush and in
■ Dashwood. People generally in
both of these committees bear testi
mony of his leadership In "scripture
reading, prayer and song. Mr. Eh
lers enjoyed the blessing of except
ionally good health throughout his
long life, never knowing a day of
sickness. Even on the day of his
death he listened happily in the
morning to a churcn service over
the radio in the living room of his
daughter’s home. In the arternoon
he retired to his room and while
peacefully reclining on ills bed he
quietly answered the "Call” as he
breathed a loving farewell benedic
tion upon his children. So his life un
folded from earliest childhood going
according to scripture "from
strength to strength.” Surely his
works do follow after nim. As we
bid his bodily presence good-bye we
are impressed that lie lias applied
the meaningful words of the poet
to his life. These words are:
"Build thee more stately mansions,
O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll
Leave thy low-vaulted post,
Let each new temple, nobler
j the last
Shut thee from heaven with a
more vast,
Till thou at length are free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell,
life’s unresting sea!”
