Notes:

John R. Stauffer, "youngest son of Jacob and Fannie (Reesor) Stouffer, and grandson of John Stouffer, was born and raised near Markham Village, York County, Ontario. When a young man he followed farming until 1881. In fall of the same year he came to Berlin where he was engaged in the J. Y. Shantz & Son button factory for several years. After leaving the Shantz button factory, he, in partnership with Mr. Chas. K. Hagedon, commenced to manufacture covered and rim buttons. They were the only manufacturers of this class of buttons in Canada. They dissolved partnership, April 16th, 1895, Mr. Stouffer taking the button business alone. We have copied the following from the Daily Record of Berlin which gives the public an idea of Mr. Stouffer's business qualities and his popularity as a citizen of Berlin: 'For nearly eight years Mr. Stouffer's name has been before the Canadian trade as a manufacturer of covered and rim buttons. During that time he has built up a good trade for special buttons of this kind and has the distinction of being the only manufacturer of this class of buttons in Canada. Of these button lines he is especially proud and with good reason, for he makes covered and rim buttons, which for material, workmanship and finish cannot be excelled, and the goods find a market over the whole dominion, from Halifax to Vancouver. Mr. Stouffer manufactures for the wholesale trade only and from the strong and durable class of goods supplied he is enjoying a large and increasing trade. Personally Mr. Stouffer is popular as a business man and a citizen. He is well posted and has a fund of good common sense and sound business judgment. Being still a comparatively young man he is likely to witness a wide development of the business of which he is proprietor and to meet with good monetary success which the public will unite in wishing him'. On December 30th, 1886, he was married to Anna Maria, daughter of Samuel B. and Rebecca (Fried) Schneider. She was born June 23rd, 1866. They reside on Queen Street West, Berlin, and have a family of two childrenn, namely: Laura and Mabel."

Notes:

Samuel B. Schneider, "was born October 9th, 1842. On September 26th, 1865, he was married to Rebecca Fried who was born February 27th, 1846. Shortly after their marriage they moved to Berlin, on his father's old homestead, where he was engaged in farming for a number of years. Of late years Mr. Schneider has disposed of the greater part of his farm forming part of the town, besides the numerous lawns, grounds, and two parks cut off on the west, thus leaving him in possession of but small part of the once large "Schneider Farm.".."

__________________________

In 1938 two of the older citizens (August R. Lang and Aaron Bricker) still remember when Uncle Sam B. Schneider's barn on the old homestead was struck by lightnlng in June, 1873. At that time the Town had purchased a fire engine, and the fire company was anxious to demonstrate its ability in handling it. Previous to this, the Babcock Fire Extinguisher Go. had sent a large chemical engine with some expert firemen to the town for the purpose of selling it. The agent took his men and the engine to the fire and the two companies became engaged in a wrangle. They finally wound up by turning the hose on one another. Mayor Hoffman, rushed in between the contending parties and received the benefit of the cross streams. He came out a most bedraggled creature but succeeded in restoring peace and order. However, in the meantime the barn was burned down.

Notes:

Joseph E. Schneider, "was born at Berlin, Ontario, November 23rd, 1810. On January 28th, 1834, he was married to Sarah, daughter of Isaac and Esther (Bechtel) Shantz. She was born January 21st, 1816, and died October 18th, 1881. Soon after their marriage they moved on his father's old homestead, now in possession of Samuel B. Schneider. When Mr. Schneider was a young man he joined the church of his choice, the Mennonite, of which body he was ordained deacon, a position he held for many years. His old days were much beclouded with troubles in the church, and owing to the different views held by the two parties in regard to the teaching of the Bible a division was made and the one party organized themselves into a distinct body, now known as the Mennonite Brethren in Christ. Mr. Schneider joined himself with the new body. He died happy in the Lord, February 16th, 1880"

Church of the Good Shepherd

The congregation began meeting in various locations as early as 1833, with Christian Enslin as leader. A small frame church was built on Frederick Street in 1842, and was called The Free Church; the congregations of four denominations held services in it. The seating space in the Free Church became insufficient for the growing Swedenborgian congregation with the result that land on the northwest corner of Church and Benton Streets was purchased in 1847 from Joseph E. Schneider. A frame church with a seating capacity of 150 was built in the same year; the church was called the New Church (Uttley 1937: 64). Several decades later a larger church was again needed. Land was purchased on the northeast corner of King and Water Streets where a new stone church was built and completed in 1870. The old church was sold to the congregation of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Serious differences resulted in a formal split in the Berlin Swedenborgian congregation on September 18, 1891. One group, the predecessor of this congregation, whose pastor was Rev. F.W. Tuerk (June 1857-July 3, 1901), continued to worship in the stone church. The other group, eventually to be known as the Carmel Church of the New Jerusalem, built their church in 1892 at 820 King Street West; their pastor was Rev. F.E. Waelchli. In 1935 the congregation purchased land on the corner of Queen Street North and Margaret Avenue as the site for a new church. The Church of the Good Shepherd is a Convention Church of the New Jerusalem.
