Gingerich.-Aaron, son of the late Joseph and Magdalene (Lebold) Gingerich, was born near Baden, Ont., Feb. 16, 1874; died Feb. 1, 1942; aged 67 y. 11 m. 16 d. When a young man he gave his heart to God, and united with the Wilmot Amish Mennonite Church, in which faith he was steadfast to the end. His illness was of some two and one-half years duration of heart ailment. He was greatly concerned about the future welfare of the Church and knew his Bible from cover to cover. He was a true Christian father and a beloved neighbor, beloved without the Church as well as within. For him the sorrows of earth came to an end, and we believe he is sweetly resting, awaiting the resurrection morning when we with him shall meet our Lord in the air. Oh, how it ought to make us homesick for heaven, looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. He leaves his sorrowing wife (Susannah Wagler) to whom he was married in March, 1900; 2 sons, 4 daughters (Isaiah and Elmer of Wilmot Twp.; Mrs. C. O. Erb, of Wellesley; Lavina, at home; Mrs. Isaac Ruby, of Tavistock; Mrs. Henry Wagler, of Shakespeare, Ont.), 1 brother and 1 sister (Moses Gingerich and Nancy Gingerich of Baden, Ont.). Funeral services were held from his late home in Baden, Ont., Feb. 4, by Bro. Ben Gingerich at the house, with further services at the Steinman Church by Bros. Peter Nafziger, Daniel S. Jutzi, and Moses O. Jantzi. Interment in Steinman's Cemetery beside the church.
