Shantz.-Noah S., youngest son of Joseph Y. and Elizabeth (Stauffer) Shantz, was born in Wilmot Twp., on May 16, 1859; died at his home in Baden, Ont., May 7, 1936. He was in his 77th year. He had been in failing health for some time, and while he was able to be around, his death came suddenly, due to a heart attack. On March 6, 1883, he was united in marriage to Susannah B. Cassel, also of Wilmot Twp. After their marriage they moved to their homestead farm where they resided until thirteen years ago when they took up their residence in the village of Baden, Ont. This union was blessed with 11 children, 6 of whom have predeceased him. Those surviving are his wife, 3 sons and 2 daughters (Laura, wife of Tobias Shantz of Waterloo; Marian, wife of Reuben Steiner of Lima, Ohio; Lincoln C. of Kitchener; Walter C. on the old homestead; Dr. Stauffer C., also of Kitchener), 10 grandchildren, 1 brother, 4 sisters, and a host of friends. In the winter of 1886 he with his companion confessed Christ as their personal Savior and united with the Mennonite Church to which faith he remained true to the end. He was a member of the Blenheim congregation and served as an officer of the Sunday school for a number of years and was at the time of his death a member of the board of trustees. The funeral was held May 10, with services at his home and also at the Blenheim Mennonite Church, conducted by M. H. Shantz, assisted by M. Hallman. Text, I Pet. 1: 3-5. Burial in adjoining cemetery.

Cassel.-Susannah, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry B. Cassel, was born in Waterloo Co., Ont., March 3, 1860: died March 13 1937, at the home of her daughter in Waterloo. She was in her 78th year. On March 6, 1883, she was united in matrimony to the late Noah S. Shantz, also of Wilmot, who predeceased her 10 months ago. Two daughters (Mrs. Tobias Shantz of Waterloo and Mrs. Marian Steiner of Lima, Ohio) and 3 sons (Lincoln C. of Kitchener, Walter C. of Wilmot, and Dr. Stauffer C. of Kitchener), 10 grandchildren and 2 brothers (Samuel of Kitchener, and Ephraim of New Hamburg) survive. She accepted Christ as her personal Savior and united with the Mennonite church a few years after her marriage and has been a consistent member of Blenheim congregation ever since. Her constant testimony was to serve her Lord and she had a longing desire to depart and be with her Master, especially since the passing of her late husband. Her desire has been granted and though her lips may be silent and her hands cease to minister, yet her labors will still go on for "she being dead yet speaketh." "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; Yea saith the Spirit that they may rest from their labours and their works do follow them." Funeral services were held on March 16 with Bro. J. B. Martin at the home and at the Blenheim Mennonite Church with M. H. Shantz in charge. Text, Job 14 : 14, 15. Burial in adjoining cemetery.

Golden Wedding Celebrated

On Monday, March 6th, Mr. and Mrs. Noah Shantz, of Baden, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at their old homestead near New Dundee, where their son, Mr. Walter Shantz, now resides. The bridesmaid and best man of fifty years ago were present for the occasion, namely, Mrs. Ezra Cressman, of Plattsville, and Mr. Samuel Cassel, of Kitchener. A sumptuous dinner was served from a table prettily arranged with gold tapers and centered with the wedding cake decorated in gold and white. A unique feature of the dinner was that the set of dishes used had been brought to this country from Pennsylvania by Mrs. Shantz's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Bricker, almost 100 years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Shantz received lovely gifts and congratulations from their many friends. During the afternoon a program was given consisting of songs of yester-year and short addresses. Mr. and Mrs. Shantz's children and grandchildren were all present.

"Many Ontario Mennonite women were known for their hospitality, but few Indians were found among their recipients. What Susannah Shantz may have done to merit the gift which she received from two Indian women has been lost to memory - only the memory of the gift remains.

'FOR YOUR LITTLE PAPOOSE'

Susanna Bricker Cassel was born in Wilmot Township, Waterloo County. Her home was on the Huron Road, west of Haysville. Her father, Henry B.Cassel, her grandfather, Peter Bricker, and her great grandfather Sam Bricker had pioneered their respective farms in the Waterloo District.

When Susannah married Noah S. Shantz they took up residence on a farm south of the Huron Road, two miles east of Haysville, and became active members of the Blenheim Mennonite church. (This church has since merged with the Biehn congregation to form the Nith Valley Mennonite Church).The Shantz home was known for its warm hospitality to strangers as well as friends. Immigrant labourers from Europe found both employment and a home with Noah and Susannah.

On the Shantz farm there remained a heavy stand of hardwood and pine forest. Each year several Indian families came and camped in an old lumber shack on the edge of the forest while they harvested ginseng, the root of which was used for medicinal purposes.

One day, several months after the birth of her oldest child, Susannah responded to a knock on her kitchen door and found two Indian women standing there. The one had a small child with her. The older woman held a beautiful, hand-woven doll cradle fashioned from black ash which she shyly handed to Susannah, saying 'for your little papoose'.

This doll cradle and this intriguing tale of a Mennonite woman's interaction with native Indians was handed down to Susannah's daughters and grand daughters. Unfortunately the cradle has not been seen since the family moved from the old homestead, but the memory remains.

When this story was recounted to someone who was acquainted with the ways of Indian people, he responded that Indians presented gifts to persons whom they hold in high regard. Since that conversation the grand daughters have wondered about previous contacts their grandmother may have had with these two Indian women. Her hospitality, no doubt, had also been extended to them, prompting this generous gift."

JACOB LASCHINGER.

The subject of this sketch it may be said has grown up with the industrial interests of Hamburg. He was born here in 1850 and for the past eighteen years has successfully carried on a carriage and wagon manufacturing establishment and blacksmith shop His reputation for turning out first-class honest work is well known throughout Wilmot and adjoining townships. Mr. Laschinger is decidedly industrious, being a man who does not have many idle hours, as he can always be found busy early and late in either the paint shop, woodwork department or the blacksmith shop. In either department he is at home. There are none of Hamburg's citizens more popular, both in their personal and business relations. He has served three years in the village council where he also achieved popularity as an economical and careful municipal legislator. He is at present a valuable member of the Mechanic's Institute, and probably takes as deep an interest in its prosperity as does any other citizen in the community. Upon the death of the late postmaster, it devolved upon the government to appoint a successor to the deceased. Of course it was supposed that a true Grit would receive, the appointment; the supposition was not erroneous. There were a number of aspirants, but Mr. Laschinger seemed to be the favorite and was vigorously urged by his friends to push his case though there was much spirited opposition by some who merely opposed the appointment on the ground that it would be removed from its location opposite the Imperial Hotel. Personally they were not opposed to Mr. Laschinger. The appointment and removal was opposed mainly by the Tories, because if the change was not made a Conservative would still hold the office. They surely did not expect that after the removal by death of the former incumbent who was a staunch Conservative and held the office for many years, that the Reform government could appoint his successor from the ranks of the enemy. It is foolish to think that modern politics run that way. Petitions and counter petitions were in the wind; but in the meantime Mr. Laschinger sawed wood and said little. The result was he received his commission as post master of New Hamburg on July 19th last, and it was only a day prior to the removal, nearly four weeks afterwards that those opposed to the change discovered they had been cleverly outflanked and that the appointment had been made. Mr. Laschinger is a staunch Reformer, and a business man of considerable ability and push and a more fitting incumbent for this responsible office could not have been found in the community. The room occupied by the new postmaster is a few doors south of the Commercial Hotel in the handsome new building recently erected by Mr. Jacob Becker. The room in which the post office is located is admirably adapted for the purpose, having ample room. It is a gem of a post office, and for fixtures, boxes and the partition dividing that public from the official department, it is undoubtedly the neatest and most elegantly equipped post office between here and Toronto. The partition is made from quartered oak, highly polished and exquisitely carved, the panels of which are beautiful gribble glass. In front are the delivery and money order windows, so designated by handsome lettering above each in stained glass. There are 175 lock-boxes highly finished in brass, nickel and glass. The celebrated Yale lock is used. In addition to this there are all the other necessary boxes well made and nicely finished. The whole was made by the Yale and Towne Manufacturing Company of New York City, and sent over in sections from their branch manufactory, in Stamford, Conn. Those who call in will agree with me in saying that Hamburg has the finest post office for a town of its size in the Province. They will find an accommodating postmaster and gentleman in every way competent to hold the position. Mr. Laschinger purchased the fixtures from the above company through their representatives, Seymour & Co., Temple Building, Montreal.

Joseph Y. Shantz.

Under the hospitable roof of this pioneer citizen I spent a few pleasant hours. He is one of the specimens of noble manhood, through whose instrumentality vast sections of the wilds of Western Canada have been made to blossom as the rose. He was born July 10th, 1815. His wife, nee Elizabeth Stauffer, was born near Doon, in Waterloo township, January 10th, 1820. They were married on May 15th, 1838, and now live a quiet and retired life on the old homestead, which through years of hard toil and privations they accumulated that in after years they and their offspring might enjoy. That they have faithfully responded to the Divine injunction to replenish and multiply the earth, is proved by the fact that they are the parents of twelve children, seven sons and five daughters, and have fifty grand children to their credit. They have lived here for about sixty years Besides securing sufficient of this world's goods to enable them to live in ease and comfort during their declining years, their nine children now living have been amply provided for, their sons all having good farms and in well- to-do circumstances. The old saw-mill, some distance below the old homestead, was built about fifty years ago. In this pioneer industry Mr. Shantz expended countless drops of perspiration, and when sawing logs not entirely beyond his strength to handle he would operate it single-handed and alone. At that time there was a large amount of custom sawing and he did not waste time in taking advantage of it. Mr. Shantz was evidently a young man of extraordinary physical endurance and of strong mental capacity, for now in the eighty-third year of his age we find him still vigorous in mind and not what may be called infirm physically. Mrs. Shantz is yet hail and hearty in the seventy-eighth year of her age. They are both devout adherents of the Mennonite faith.
