Weber. - Ephraim H., son of Daniel and Elizabeth Weber, was born June 29, 1875; died June 22, 1934; aged 58 y. 11 m. 23 d. He was born and resided near Kitchener all his life. He is survived by his wife (Maria Steckel), 4 sons (Clayton, Ion, Eldon, Mervin), 1 daughter (Mrs. Laura Hamsher, Berlin, Ohio). and 2 brothers (Josiah H. and George A., of Kitchener). He was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church and well esteemed in the community at large. He was known as a man of integrity and dependability and possessed of a quiet dignity and modesty. He was the incarnation of the common virtues of life, so often undervalued, nevertheless they are what make men and nations great. His self-controlled speech was a desirable quality that all Christians might well covet. His sudden passing in the night while asleep is a loud call to all to prepare to meet their God in peace. His passing will leave a vacant place, and memory will treasure his personality "till we meet again." The services were conducted at the First Mennonite Church, in charge of Bros. C. F. Derstine and 0. Burkholder. Sermon, "The Ministry of Hard Knocks and Affliction." II Cor. 4 : 16,17.

MANNHEIM

Pioneer Passes. - One by one the old pioneers of Waterloo County are constantly moving from realms of usefulness to higher kingdoms of bliss. Death claimed a highly esteemed pioneer in our immediate vicinity in the person of Henry Baer. On Saturday morning, Jan. 22, he passed peacefully away. He 'was born Oct. 21st, 1842, in the township of Wilmot, about 3 miles west of Mannheim. Like many of the early settlers in this county he began in humble circumstances but by hard, honest toil and frugality he forged ahead to own a splendid homestead. possessing all the latest improvements on his farm. His early education was obtained at Hamacher's school. Having early chosen carpentering as a trade he erected his first barn at the age of 14. At the age of 18. Henry with his parents where they engaged in clearing the forest to provide land for crops moved to Blandford township At the age of 21 he began carpentering for himself. He made shingles near German Mills to earn enough to provide for board and clothing. Becoming a skilled framer he erected many barns and houses. Mr. Baer in those early days endured and overcame many hardships. While following his trade he had to walk on poor roads with a heavy kit of tools on his back, 7 miles before breakfast and often after a day's work 14 miles to a home. He married Miss Leah Bowman, daughter of Rev. M. Bowman at the age of 26. Two years later he united with the Mennonite Church of which he has been a consistent and valued member. Moving to Hay Township, Huron Co., in 1872 he became a deacon of that church and continued faithful to his ordination these 55 years. Remaining in Huron for ten wears, he returned to Waterloo In 1882 and purchased the farm on which he and his estimable wife have lived since. The union was blessed with 14 children, three sons and one daughter having predeceased him. The six sons and four daughters surviving are Angeline (Mrs. Dan Eby) of Petersburg: Elvina (Mrs. Wm. Bachert) of Kitchener; Louisa (Mrs. Irvin Shantz) of Freeport; Eva (Mrs. John Francis) of Kitchener; Moses. of New Dundee: Ephraim, of Haysville; Simon, of Breslau; Josiah, of Alberta, and Norman and Ezra of Mannheim, the latter residing on the homestead.

Mr. and Mrs. Baer lived happily in the bonds of matrimonial life for full 60 years. The deceased was in the best of health until last March. He was not confined to the house. however, until about two months before his death. He bore his sickness with Christian courage and patience.

The funeral was held on January 25th, services being conducted at the residence by Rev. J. W. Witmer and at Latchar Mennonite Church. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. Witmer, prayer was offered by Bishop Derstine and Bishop Manasseh Hallman preached the sermon from the words of Gen. 5:24 - Enoch walked with God; and he was not; for God took him. It was an eloquent sermon for the living with some reference to his old friend and Sunday School teacher, and one from whom he (the preacher) had received excellent counsel. The pallbearers were six grandchildren Edwin and Gordon Eby, Clayton Bacher, Clarence Shants, Manasseh and Arthur Baer. His age was 84 years, 3 mos. and 1 day. He leaves to mourn his sorrowing companion who is also past the four score years, ten children, fifty grandchildren and four great grandchildren. "Truly a father in Israel has fallen at the very hush of night when life's heat and ordor are over, to inherit a well earned rest.

Shantz. To this union were born eight children, four (Sarah, Herman, Viney, and Laura) preceding her in death and four (Edwin, Luanna, Mary and Edith), with her husband and ten grandchildren, are left to mourn her departure. Sister Shantz united with the Mennonite Church in her girlhood days and remained a consistent member until death claimed her. The last few weeks of her life were spent in intense suffering, but through it all her continual desire was to bear it faithfully and uncomplainingly until she could go home. The funeral services were held at the Breslau Mennonite Church on Dec. 23, 1921, and were conducted by Brethren Jonas Snider and U. K. Weber.
