She cared for 35 foster children and still continued to keep her arms open for any child who needed help. She had a great love of music. Besides singing and playing the accordion and guitar, her main love was playing the piano which she continued to do until present. She enjoyed entertaining the residents of Winston Park every evening. Myrtle also had a great love for travel which included several trips to Europe, Central America, the Rockies, Texas and lately loved to spend her summers at Grand Bend. For the last 50 years, a special mission for Myrtle was to raise funds for the M.C.C. Relief Sale by crafting quilts, afghans, and needle point. She also made over 80 needle point and many quilts to make sure all her grandchildren and friends were blessed with one. She never met a person she didn't like, always seeking out new friendships. She was a member of St. Jacobs Mennonite Church and also enjoyed years of worship at Wilmot Mennonite Church. A very special thank you to Tamara Schroeder who spent countless hours at her side tending to her every need, Pauline Donovon who was like a daughter to her, the staff at Winston Park who she treasured very much, and all her special friends at Winston Park who put a smile on her face every day.

Bauman - Mary (Martin) Bauman was born in Waterloo Co., March 15, 1856; died at her home near St. Jacobs, Ont., April 14, 1935; aged 79 y. 30 d. She was married to Seth Bauman, who predeceased her 19 years ago. She was a loving and faithful mother, always deeply concerned for the spiritual welfare of her children and grandchildren, that they may all, without the loss of one, be gathered in the happy home above. She was sick a very short time, but suffered intensely for one week with abdominal flu. Her desire was to be with the Lord and leave this body of suffering. Often she would repeat, "Ach Gott ich bin durch Christi Blut, Maches nur mitt meine ende Gute." Our loss is her gain. She leaves 1 son (Menno of Hawkesville) and 4 daughters: Elizabeth (Mrs. Suenus Martin of Stanton, Mich.); Lovina (Mrs. Menno Horst of St. Jacobs); Mary (Mrs. Allen Knorr of Waterloo); Lydia (Mrs. Simon Martin of Kitchener). One daughter (Anna) and one son (Joseph) predeceased her. Funeral services were conducted at Martin's Mennonite Church, by Urias Martin and Jesse Bauman. Texts, Rev. 21: 4,; II Tim. 4: 6-8; Heb. 9: 27, 18.

"'Tis hard to part with Mother dear,
No more to see her here,
But yet we're glad if God saw best
To end her trouble and give her rest.
In heaven to reign with angels fair,
May our names too be written there;
Then we again may each other meet,
And walk with her the golden street."
