Registrar. The style of entry for the registrations of Michael Myers was such that he seemed at pains to sufficiently cover the form with his own handwriting so as to prevent anyone else from entering something else after-the-fact. The first postmaster at the village of Baden was Jacob Beck from 1854 to 1879 and then William Beck from 1879 to 1881. |
| Death | She died on 6 July 1927 at London, Middlesex Co., Ontario, at age 79. |
| Burial | She was buried on 8 July 1927 at Sec. K, Preston Cemetery. |
| Note | See the Marriage Registers of Upper Canada / Canada West, Wellington District, Vol. 9, Pt. 2, Walker and Stratford-Devai, Global Heritage Press, page 97. This shows baptisms of Rev. Frederick W. Bindemann of Greenbush (Berlin, later Kitchener). This does not date the baptism, but does show the baptism, probably on the same day of a daughter and son of Jacob Beck and Charlotte Hespeler. The female was said to be born on 4 December, 1847. Since all the other children baptized are said to be born in 1849, including the brother of who we must believe to be Louise, the baptisms will have been performed in 1849.
