    Sudden Death of Aged St. Jacobs Woman - The many friends and relatives of the late Susannah Gingrich, wife of Mr. David Ernst, of St. Jacobs were shocked to hear of her sudden death on Monday evening. On Monday morning the deceased accompanied by her husband, left on the 10 o'clock train to visit friends in Elmira and vicinity. Spending the day with her stepsons in Elmira, they drove out in the evening to the home of Mr. Jonas Martin, above Elmira. Soon after their arrival, Mrs. Ernst was taken suddenly ill and passed peacefully away about nine o'clock. Having suffered a few years ago from a stroke, the deceased had never been very strong since. Previous to their coming to St. Jacobs, they resided for a number of years in Glenallan and neighborhood. About two years ago, when their son-in-law, Mr. Eli Brubacher, purchased the Brubacher home on King St., the aged couple came to live with their daughter. The deceased was a very intelligent person, who with her kind and pleasing disposition won many friends throughout this county, where she was born and brought up, and was blessed by five children - Noah Martin, near St. Jacobs, Rev. Jesse Martin, near Breslau (children with the first husband, Peter Martin), David Ernst, Glenallan, Lovina (Mrs. Eli Brubacher), and Barbara in Michigan. There were also 8 brothers and sisters, Bishop Gingrich, Upper Woolwich; Rev. Jacob Gingrich, near Preston; John, Grand Rapids; Israel, St. Jacobs; Menno, near St. Jacobs, Isaac, near Floradale; Lydia (Mrs. Mose Weber) and Miss Nancy Gingrich, near Conestogo. Mr. N.W. Gingrich of this place is a first cousin. The aged husband and children who are left to mourn the loss of a kind helpmate and living mother, have the heartfelt sympathy of their friends in their sad and sudden bereavement. The funeral will take place today, from the residence of Mr. Eli Brubacher to the Conestogo Riker Road Mennonite Church for service and burial.

    Martin Meeting House

    According to Isaac Horst, "Martins meeting house was the first of the Old Order places of worship to be built. A meeting house is reported to have been built in 1830; burial was begun in the adjoining cemetery in 1831. Martins was aptly named. The first three bishops of the area were Martins, all descended from the pioneer, Peter Martin. The land on which the house stands was formerly owned by Martins (1979: 376)." Peter Martin, Jr. purchased 220 acres of land from his brother, Henry Martin, on May 8, 1824. Apparently he set aside four acres for a meeting house and burying ground at that time. The first burial is reported to have been that of Peter Martin, Sr., who died March 2, 1831. The meeting house was enlarged in 1900.

    John Weber was the first minister, followed by Abraham W. Martin, Samuel Weber, Paul Martin, Tobias Martin and Urias Martin. At one time surrounded by countryside, the meeting house and cemetery are now completely encircled by the commercial development brought about by the rapid expansion northward of the city of Waterloo.

    * While in the town of Waterloo he met with an accident which caused his death. He met with a friend on the street and while engaged in conversation with him a tool of one of the party who was engaged in tinning the roof of Mr. Doersam's hotel, slipped over the edge of the building and struck him on the head. He was carried into the house unconscious and remained in that state until his death next day.

    Deplorable Accident in Waterloo

    A very sad and ultimately fatal accident occurred in the town of Waterloo on Saturday afternoon last, the victim being a very old and respected resident of the Township, named Samuel Weaver. It appears that at the time of the accident he, in company with a companion was standing examining the new patent iron shingles which workmen were at the time engaged in laying on the roof to the building at which they were standing. These workmen had with them an iron bar which they were using for some purpose, and which when not in use was placed with its end between the boards of the roof. By some means this bar worked lose and just as Mr. Weaver was looking at one of the shingles it slipped from its fastening and fell with crushing effect directly upon his head. As the bar weighted upwards of twenty pounds the consequences can be easily imagined. When picked up, it was found he was entirely unconscious, and examination showed that his injuries were such as to leave no hope whatever for his recovery. He lingered on in an unconscious state, however, until Tuesday morning, when he breathed his last. As we have said Mr. Weaver was universally respected wherever known, and his sad death has thrown quite a gloom over Waterloo and its neighborhood.

    Historic Building:
    The Wissler-Cascaden house, a two-storey red brick Georgian home was built in 1842 by John Wissler, a Waterloo Township pioneer who arrived from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1834. One year after his arrival Wissler established the Eagle Tannery. A shoemaking, harness making and mercantile business soon sprang up in conjunction with the tannery. This industry, including the workers homes on nearby Bridge Street, formed the nucleus of the settlement of Lexington.
    Wissler spared no expense in the construction of his home, elaborate window and door surrounds were included along with a plaster cornice in the drawing room. The most striking feature of the interior, however, is the two-storey front entrance hall which rises a full twenty feet to a magnificent plaster medallion on the ceiling. Access is gained through two arches which rest on moulded plaster shells and frame a cherry stairway which climbs to the attic level.
    A number of additions have been made to the home. The first, a two-storey addition to the west side was completed around 1858. The second, which contained a bake oven, schnitz oven, ash oven and smoke house, was added behind the first between 1859 and 1875. The last addition, this time on the south side, provided a one and a half storey salt box kitchen which was designated to serve as the doddy wing at the turn of the century.
    The property was sold to Samuel Weber in 1873. It remained in the Weber and Shantz families for over one hundred years until the late 1970s when it was converted into apartments and fell into disrepair. The present owners, Ron and Wendy Cascaden, have made a commitment to restoring the house.
    All of the exterior elevations of the Wissler-Cascaden House and the front hill are deemed to be of both architectural and historical significance.1a
