    Salome Buehler Martin 1909 - 1973

    Whether working as a maid in a bank manager's home or serving as the wife of a pastor in a rural, emerging congregation on the fringes of the Mennonite Community, Salome modeled the virtues of a Christian woman.

    Reaching out to the Neighbourhood

    Salome Buehler was born near St. Jacobs, into the Old Order Mennonite family of Abraham and Nancy (Moyer) Buehler. When Salome was nine years old the family lost their father and provider, so the children had to work to help with the family finances. Among Salome's jobs were working in a canning factory in Vineland and as a live-in maid for a bank manager in Waterloo - complete with a maid's uniform and cap. In 1932 Salome was married to Amos B. Martin. In 1936, however, they left the Old Order community and moved to Preston where Amos became a foreman for a steel products company. Times were hard and Salome helped to supplement their scanty income by baking coffee cakes and chelsea buns and peddling them in Preston. She took in boarders, made craft items from driftwood, made artificial flowers, did sewing for other people and raised strawberries and raspberries as part of her efforts to help make ends meet. Amos and Salome joined the Preston Mennonite Church, where Salome became active in the women's sewing circle. In the days when there were few organized girls' clubs, Salome felt called to start a club in her home for friends of her daughters, Mary and Martha, including neighbourhood girls who did not attend church. Amos remodelled a chicken coop for their club house. The girls financed their club by bringing five or ten cents to each meeting and wore blue ribbons to their meetings, calling themselves the "Blue Ribbon Club." On one occasion, they even had their picture in the Kitchener-Waterloo Record. Salome told Bible stories, taught songs, and planned their craft projects, which included stuffing teddy bears and making scrapbooks for hospitals and nursing homes. Salome related to and witnessed to her neighbours no matter what their financial status, colour, religion or mental stability. One of their neighbours had emotional problems and when he committed suicide, Salome was there to help the family in their time of grief. In 1950 Amos and Salome moved to Moorefield, Ontario to help with an emerging congregation, and Amos was chosen to serve as pastor.

    In the early 1960s Amos and Salome left Moorefield for Doon, and it was not long until Salome was diagnosed as having leukemia. When she passed away at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto on January 13, 1973 many of the nurses and sisters at the hospital told Amos and the family how her life and cheerful witness had affected their lives.

    ____________________________

    It was a Pennsylvania Dutch custom to build a new house in front of the former one, and evidence of an old foundation substantiates the fact that this was done here in 1882. The house was built by Jacob Mohr, a carpenter who lived across the road. - Ben Moyer's diary. The necessary washhouse and woodshed, smoke house and other small buildings that were deemed necessary were added. April 18th, 1883, 3/100 of an acre on the west side of the road was sold to Jacob Mohr, Magdalena was born in the new house and the eldest daughter Anna (Nancy) was married to Isaac Martin in 1884. Mrs. Isaac Moyer died April 7, 1896 and on October 3rd of the same year Isaac Moyer married Sarah Schneider. There was a small building situated in front of the house near the road which was used in the painting business, and also as a broom factory, operated by son Benjamin. A grandson of Isaac Moyer recalls how Mr. Moyer walked to Hawkesville with a bucket of paint, and that he always left his name and the date on the belfry of the houses which he painted. He also painted signs for business firms and had a host of satisfied customers in Waterloo township. He was an artist in more ways than one, as is proven by a self portrait, presently hanging in the living room of Norman Buehler, of St. Jacobs, Ontario, who is also a sign painter. In former days the Mennonite church frowned upon certain forms of art and the commandment - "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth" was taken literally . Mr. Moyer was not encouraged and his considerable talent in this line was not developed. The children of the neighborhood adored white haired, gentle Mr. Moyer and loved to visit the pleasant home that always had special treats such as ice cream and candy. The barn was renovated in 1895 as shown by an inscription of the date on the building. This was a busy household indeed, market gardening entailed a great deal of work the apnle orchard planted in 1876 was in its prime. In 1899 Mr. Moyer deeded this prooperty to his wife Sarah Moyer. Son, Simeon, contracted tuberculosis and died May 1899. Isaac Moyer died July 26, 1902. This farm was sold to Abbie Selina Neber, wife of Allan S. Ifober, on March 29th, 1902. The Moyer family then removed to the village of Bloomingdale
