    _____________________

    Gingrich - the 22d of November in Woolwich Twp., Waterloo Co., Ontario, after a long illness of cancer, Sister Susanna Brubacher, wife of Moses Gingrich, entered peacefully into rest. She was buried at North Woolwich meeting house, near Elmira. Services by Paul Martin and Joseph Gingrich. Text, John 5: 29 and Psalm 39: 4-11. A very large number of friends and relatives assembled to show their respects for the departed sister and to sympathize with the bereft husband and family. She leaves a husband and four children, two sons and two daughters to mourn the loss of a dear one, but not without hope. She was a devoted wife and mother, a shining light in the Church. She bore her suffering with Christian patience and was fully resigned to the will of God and desired to go home and be at rest.

    Moses Reist Sr.

    Moses was a real character and a real Christian of the Mennonite faith. I walked up one time and got a feeling about his Schreitz [?] factory which really was something to see. Also the old story about Moses going to the Waterloo Park for a stroll, when he came to the terraces at the top, a bunch of girls were below and when they seen him they said Holy Moses and Moses took that to heart and wrote a book claiming he was the second Moses. Now there must be some truth in this because my mother bought a book from him. It was printed in German and named Die Goldene Bible. Where the book got too I don't know but there are some around. Also he had ideas about the Maple Syrup and [was] the first one to collect sap instead of walking tree to tree. He purchased some eavetrough to run the sap to one location. I believe this was the forerunner of what they are doing now with plastic pipes. Dad and Moses had many a chat in the old tinshop.
