The people of the town were shocked last Sunday to learn that our esteemed townsman, Mr. Jonathan Kropf, died very suddenly at four o'clock that morning. Mr. Kropf had been to Berlin on Saturday, and arriving home in the evening retired apparently in the best of health. About four o'clock he awoke and complained of feeling unwell, passing away a few minutes afterwards. The late Mr. Kropf was in his 64th year and a life long resident of this township, residing for many years on a farm at Pinehill, and was also a well known contractor, making a specialty of moving large buildings, in which he had in late years made himself prominent in this locality. A few years ago he left his farm to a son, and moved to this village. Deceased was of a genial and kindly disposition and beloved by all who knew him. He was twice married; his first wife, (nee Mathilda Hostetler) predeceased him about ten years ago. He is survived by his second wife, one daughter and four sons. The children are: Norman, of Michepecoten; Edwin, of Earl Grey, Sask.; Herbert on the old homestead; Jacob, at home, and Lavina, of Guelph. The funeral took place from his late residence on Wednesday morning to Geiger's Cemetery, Bleam's Road, and was very largely attended.
