Notes:

Levi Frey was a Mennonite blacksmith who received special training in Cleveland, Ohio. For some time he did blacksmithing for construction workers in Northern Ontario, later operating a shop of his own in Hawkesville.

History remembers him not as a blacksmith but for his unique lifestyle as an Old Order Mennonite, a group that has remained very conservative in its association with the changing life of the twentieth Century.

He had the courage to frequently leave the closely-knit church society to increase his personal knowledge in a wider world, but he always returned to his home group where he became a highly esteemed layman who, because of his knowledge and wisdom, was consulted on many subjects by his fellow churchmen.

Frey had the distinction of being visited by the Queen's representative in Canada, Sir Archibald Nye, and Lady Nye, who were very much impressed by the knowledge and personality of this distinguished member of the Old Order Mennonites.1a

________________________

Death's call came quite suddenly to Mr. David P. Martin on Wednesday morning at his home on Church Street. He was sitting on the verandah alone when Mrs. Martin hearing a noise went out to see what was the matter. He just gave a groan and fell over and passed away without regaining consciousness.

David P. Martin was born near St. Jacobs in 1850. In 1875 he was married to Rebecca Gingrich who now mourns the loss of a kind husband. Five children also survive, namely Bennevel, married and living near Elmira, William, unmarried, Peter, in Peel, Mary Ann, (Mrs. Solomon Lichty, Elmira) and David. Several brothers also survive.

The family came to Elmira from Lexington six years ago. About 5 years ago the deceased was seriously ill with dropsy of the heart, but recovered sufficiently to be able to work most of the time until seven weeks ago when the old trouble forced him to quit work. Last week he felt able to put in a few days' work at the factory. But this week he did not feel so well, and the end came sooner than expected.

The funeral will be held on Saturday morning, 9 o'clock, to the Mennonite cemetery for burial and service.
