Berlin has lost another of its older generations in the decease of Rudolph George Mylius, M.D. who passed into the Great Beyond at ten o'clock on Saturday evening, Oct. 4th, in his 66th year.
The end came quietly and peacefully the bedside being surrounded by the members of the family. His death was due to diabetes with which disease he had battled for some years. Ten weeks ago he took to his bed, and had been compelled to remain there ever since. During the long days of illness he was patient and bore the affliction with fortitude.
The funeral will be held on Tuesday at 2 p.m. from the family residence on Frederick Street to Mount Hope Cemetery. A memorial sermon will be preached at St Peter's Lutheran Church next Sunday at 10.30 a.m.
The late Dr. Mylius was born in Lauterbach, Ober-Hessen, Germany, on April 30th, 1837 where he was brought up and received his earlier education. He took up Chemistry as a special study and later on Medicine at University at Glessen. When he was 23 years of age he came to Berlin, in 1860 here he had resided ever since. He was one of the town's oldest and most successful practitioners having built up a very large practice. He was skilled beyond his day and hundreds of our towns people and district have to thank him for routing disease and assisting Nature to assert itself in restored health.
His was a genial disposition; a hospitable nature and a kind, big heart. He was exceptionally well read and was able to converse and give advice and information on almost any subject. He was an enthusiastic student of plant lore and was possessed of a great knowledge of botany, in which subject he was an authority. His conservatory always contained the rarest specimens. He was a valued member of the Alpha-Mycological Society of Canada, in which his knowledge was always at the service of his fellow members.
He was possessed of great inventive intuition. He knew the sugar producing qualities of the sugar beet and in 1866 he experimented in the manufacture of beet sugar, but owing to there being no machinery to prosecute the work the venture was not successful from a practical commercial standpoint.
He was deeply interested in the advancement of Berlin, being more especially indentified (sic) with educational institutions. For many years he was a member of the School Board and at the time of his death occupied a chair on the Free Library Board, as a representative of the Town Council. He was also a member of the Canadian Order of Foresters.
On Oct. 9th 1861 he was married to Miss Dorothea Klotz of Preston, who with two daughters and three grandchildren survive. The daughters are Mrs D. .Forsyth and Miss Mylius. His only son, Otto, predeceased him in 1901, leaving a widow and one child.
In his demise Berlin mourns the loss of a useful and respected citizen and an honorable man.
