Erb Street (David Eby) Mennonite Church

Early services which began around 1837 were held in private homes. Land at the corner of Erb Street and Hallman Road, where the present-day cemetery is located, was donated by David Eby Sr. on July 14, 1851; a red brick church known as David Eby's Church was built in the same year. The first minister in the new church was Jacob M. Oberholtzer who served from 1852 to 1874. He was followed by Elias Schneider (1874-1889), Jonas Snider (1892-1900), Newton Weber (1921-1923), and Noah Hunsberger (1923-1929).

Due to a difference of opinion in the David Eby congregation, Sunday School classes were held at first in a private home, that of Levi Groff, beginning in 1887. The dissension which resulted culminated in a division in the church in 1889; the minister, Elias Schneider, and the deacon, Menno S. Shantz, left the church and joined with the Old Order Mennonites of Woolwich Township. The following year, 1890, saw the commencement of "Edification Meetings", which were held in the homes of members of the David Eby congregation. These meetings later became the Young People's Bible Meetings.

By the beginning of the twentieth century, it was recognized that the church building was either in need of repair or in need of complete replacement. Consideration was given to building a new church on the same site or on a site on King Street North. A decision was made to accept from Samuel S. Snider the donation of a parcel of land which was also on Erb Street, but nearer town. Excavation of the foundation for the new church began in the Spring of 1902. A dedication service was held on August 17, 1902. A parsonage was built in 1929 on land donated by Herbert Snider, the son of Samuel Snider. The church building was renovated and enlarged in 1949-1950; a dedication service was held on April 9, 1950. Further renovations were made in 1974.

Century-Old County Barn To Fall Before Wreckers


In the far dim past, long before the, dreams which were to become realities in the Westmount Golf and in Country Club and residential Westmount, the rolling acreage they now comprise was part of a 500-acre farm. The farm in extent embraced land which is now the property of the Dominion Tire Company.

From its fields were hauled annually tons and tons of hay and grain to be stored in the largest barn in Waterloo County.

That was a century ago or more. The barn, believed to be the oldest in the county, stands today, but it may not stand tomorrow. It is to be razed this week or next.

ON OLD SNIDER FARM

The structure stands on the old Snider farm at the extreme end of John street west, Waterloo, at the termination of John boulevard.

The 500-acre farm, as years passed, was divided. The original farm was reduced to 300-acres. Later another section became part of the Westmount Golf Club property.

Two years ago the last remaining 60 acres with the original buildings passed from the Snider hands. The farm was purchased by J. D. C. For- syth and is now the Forsyth Fornsac Ranch.

The barns, the original structure and additions made during the years, one at least half a century ago, are to be removed and a new barn erected.
In the new structure are to be used some of the materials of the time-honored structure at least the four main beams, each 45 feet long and 15 inches square.

The original barn. 50 by 80 feet may have been built 126 years ago. A straw shed 40 by 45 feet was added about 55 years ago. It is thought to have been the largest barn in the county for many decades although other large barns have been erected in the last 30 or 40 years.

WAS BORN ON FARM

Samuel S. Snider, 183 Erb street west, Waterloo, 85 years of age, is authority for the fact that the barn has stood for 85 years and more. His parents owned the farm and Mr. Snider was born on the farm. His father's name was also Samuel S. Snider. Mr. Snider believed the barn built before he was born, would be the oldest in the county and probably the largest until more recent years.

Incidentally the house on the farm is probably as old or nearly so. The home has likely been altered at times and recently has undergone complete renovation.

Just when the barn was erected and by whom could not be definitely learned. Mr. Snider believed it had been built by his grandfather. Jacob C. Snider (his mother's father.)

Genealogical records contain the following: that Samuel S. Snider (father of Samuel S. Snider, residing on Erb street, Waterloo, and now 85 years of age) was born in 1821, On March 5, 1844, he was married to Anna, daughter of Jacob C. and Elizabeth (Cressman) Snider. After his marriage, he moved on a farm adjoining the town of Waterloo where he was engaged in farming for a number of years.

AT LEAST 94 YEARS OLD

Since his father had not erected the barn, Mr. Snider believed it was there when his father went to live on the farm after his marriage in 1844.

This would make the age of the barn at least 94 years.

The farm itself is one of the oldest In the county. It has been operated for nearly 126 years since about 1812. Just at what date the barn was built however by Jacob C. Snider cannot be determined.

The records of Jacob C. Snider, grandfather of the present Mr. Samuel S. Snider, show that he was born in Franklin County, Penn., Feb. 19, 1791. In 1812, he was married to Elizabeth, daughter of John and Anna Cressman. "Soon after his marriage (in 1812) he moved on his farm a little to the west of the town of Waterloo."

"Not many years after his arrival in Waterloo county, he purchased the mill property belonging to the estate of Abraham Erb. Here he was engaged besides farming in the milling and saw milling and later erected a distillery."

The farm, originally owned by Jacob C. Snider and operated by him (while the war of 1812-14 was in progress), and then by his son- in-law, Samuel S. Snider Sr., passed into the hands of Samuel S. Snider's son, Titus Snider (brother of the present Samuel S. Snider).

It left Snider hands for a time when it was operated by George Hahn but came back into the family when it was purchased by Jacob Snider (also a brother of the present Samuel S. Snider), Howard Snider, a son of Jacob Snider, took over the farm probably ten years ago. selling it to Mr. Forsyth two years ago.
