(Filed with the North Dumfries registrar on June 9, 1900.) Records of St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Preston, Waterloo County See images 498 and 499 These records are available for view, but not for download, via a subscription to the Ontario Genealogical Society and a small extra charge to view the available Waterloo branch's records. The handwriting on the images is faded and perhaps on a point or two arguable. Image 498 shows William Edward Mueller's baptism in North Dumfries, Waterloo County. It appears to date his birth to 23 Mai 1900. The baptism appears to be on 30 September, 1900. Image 499, the other half of the record, shows his parents as Joseph Mueller and Elizabeth Mueller. The sponsors are shown as Heinrich Rhode and Minnie Price (Preiss). The clergyman was C. C. J. Maass, who was located at St. Peter's in Preston at the time. A funeral record for this child has been sought in St. Peter's pages, but not found. Death reg. 027023-00 North Dumfries Twp., Waterloo County Wm. Edward Mueller died Oct. 24, 1900, age 5 months. Residence lot 30, concession 12. Born Dumfries North. Cause of death cholera infantum 1 day. Lutheran. Physician and informant H. F. MacKendrick. (The death registration was filed b Dr. MacKendrick with the North Dumfries clerk on Oct. 25, 1900.) Edward is buried in Detweiler Mennonite Cemetery. This is just outside of the village of Roseville. It is a community cemetery for the burial of all denominations and is perhaps now rather more referred to as Roseville Cemetery. The Waterloo branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society transcribed this cemetery (date of transcription not given). Edward's cousin, Mabel Rhodey, was buried beside him some 12 years later. The transcription of his gravestone simply reads: Wm. E. son of J. & E. Mueller died Sept 30, 1900 aged 5 months. This conflicts with the date of death on the registration as filed above. The death registration is probably correct. As mentioned above, the available transcription for this cemetery is not dated. Looking over Find-a-Grave and CanGenWeb, it may be that Edward and Mabel's gravestones are now subsoil for photographs of these gravestones cannot be found. |
