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."
- The Family.

Wanner Mennonite Church
Begun: 1829

A small wooden meeting house was built in 1829 on a corner of the farm belonging to Samuel Bechtel which was located in the vicinity of the present-day regional headquarters of the Ministry of Natural Resources near the intersection of Highways 24 and 401. The site for this community meeting house, as well as a school and a burial ground, had been chosen on August 8, 1829. The land was donated by Samuel Bechtel and his wife Barbara (Baumann) on March 15, 1830. A new meeting house, of white brick, was built in 1837 on the east side of Henry Wanner's farm, somewhat north of the first meeting house. Meetings at first were held every eight weeks. The deed of land for the meeting house known as Wanner's was dated October 15, 1837. Early preachers were David Sherk, who had been ordained by Benjamin Eby in July 1837, Jacob Bretz, Jr., and Joseph Hagey.
Joseph Hagey was ordained bishop in 1851. During his time divisions occurred in the church by a surge of enthusiasm for a Methodist form of revivalism. Solomon Eby of Port Elgin, who announced his own conversion in December 1869, was leader of a group which believed that members could be converted through participation in revival meetings. John Baer of Wanner's became associated with Solomon Eby, and was compelled to leave the church in the spring of 1874, as were Eby and his other followers. The new church movement resulted in organization conferences which culminated in the conference on March 23, 1875 at Bloomingdale where New Mennonites and Reforming (or Reformed) Mennonites joined together as United Mennonites. The United Mennonites favored revival meetings, Sunday Schools and prayer meetings, and were opposed to the use of alcohol and tobacco.
The date of construction of the meeting house which replaced the one built in 1837 is somewhat in doubt. It is possible that a new building was erected in the early 1870s; it is also possible that the 1837 building only underwent extensive renovations at that time. There is no doubt, however, that a new brown brick church was built in 1938. An education wing was added in 1969.
The earliest Mennonite Sunday School in North America was begun in 1842 and was held jointly by the Wanner and Hagey Meeting Houses. It was discontinued after a short time because of a division of opinion within the congregations. An attempt was made later, in the mid-1860s, to begin another Sunday School, but this, too, did not last long. Many years later, on June 10, 1896, a meeting was held to organize a Sunday School. Anson Groh was appointed superintendent..
