Obituaries and Death Notices from the Wellesley Maple Leaf - E

Eckart, Laura
The death occurred in Bamberg on Wednesday afternoon of this week, of Laura, adopted daughter Mr. Wm. Arnold. She was about eleven years of age and had been sick a week with pyueinia [?]. [blood poisoning] Wellesley Maple Leaf, January 11, 1906

Eidt, Idella
Philipsburg - An extraordinary and very sudden fatality occurred on Saturday afternoon, April 4th, when Idella, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Eidt, was on her any home from the village store. She was accompanied by one of her cousins, and had in her mouth a small wooden tube with a rubber attachment which accidently lodged in her larynx, and before assistance arrived, life was extinct. Idella was of a cheerful disposition  and will be greatly missed by her school mates and  friends. She was eleven years old, less ten days, and a gloom is cast over the whole community by such an untimely death. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock p.m. from her late residence to Oelzel's [?]cemetery.

Eidt, Rosetta Alice
MRS. (REV.) L. K. EIDT.
The sympathy of the entire community goes out to Rev. L. K. Eidt, pastor of the North Easthope Evangelical Association, in the death of his young wife, which occurred last Friday morning, from heart trouble, after an illness of about a year and a half. The interment took place at New Hamburg on Monday afternoon in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends. Wellesley Maple Leaf, June 22, 1905

Eisenmenger, Philomene (nee Tschirhardt)
Linwood - The white winged messenger, death, last Thursday morning again visited our locality, and claimed as his own, Mrs. Jacob Eisenmenger [?]. The funeral on Saturday to St. Clements R. C. cemetery was largely attended by her friends and neighbors. Mrs. Eisanmenger was a loving mother and faithful wife and she will be much missed by her loved ones. One by one the pioneers are passing away, the township of Wellesley being a howling wilderness when she came in with her husband [illegible] little family of children. Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved family in their affliction. Only last Thursday her son, Jacob was buried. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family.
