Daniel Honsburger and Mrs. Emerson
[Welland Tribune, 18 February 1898]
We regret this week to announce the death of two of our earliest settlers, that of Daniel Honsburger and Mrs. John Emerson, both of Dilts Road. The former had been ill for a year or more and bore his illness to the last with great patience. He was a man very much admired and was in politics a Liberal, and we lose by his death a man that was not only a kind father, but a very friendly neighbor in every respect. All will join in sympathy with the bereaved. He leaves to mourn his loss four daughters, Mary and Harriet of Buffalo, and Mrs. Poland and Mrs. Smith of this vicinity, and two sons, Joseph, who is on the homestead, and John, who is situated on a farm near the homestead. The other death that of Mrs. Emerson, was caused by that dreadful disease consumption. Mrs. Emerson had been sick for a long time, and everything that could possibly be done was done to rid her of that dreadful disease. She not long ago made an extended visit to one of her sons in the far South, but on returning she found her visit to no avail, and when she was told that she had but a few days to live she said that if it were the Lord’s will to call her home that she was prepared to go. She was a person very much esteemed and was a member of the U. B. church for years. She leaves to mourn her seven sons and two daughters and a kind husband, also a number of grandchildren. The bereaved have the heartfelt sympathy of the community
