Husband of Henrietta Neeb married 29 Nov 1876

On the 12th of September, 1906, the whole Country was horrified as the news came over the wires of a most disastrous collision on the Canadian Pacific Railway, near a place called Azilda, on the north shore of Lake Huron, between a heavily loaded tourist train, speeding west, and a freight. Of a long death list the largest number from any one place was furnished by New Hamburg and vicinity, four of our best known families being drawn upon. The victims were Thomas B. Puddicombe, of Haysville, Wm. B. Puddicombe, of New Hamburg, Louis Pfaff, of New Hamburg, and Henry Herman of North Easthope. The funerals and memorial services of these unfortunate men were the occasions of the largest gatherings of recent years.
