CLEMMER - On the 9th of January, 1893, near Berlin, Waterloo Co., Ont., Bro. Abram C. Clemmer, aged 77 years, 3 months and 17 days. He was buried on the 12th in Eby's graveyard. Funeral services by Bish. D. Wismer at the home, at the meeting house by Bish. E. Weber in the German language from John 5: 24, 25 and Noah Stauffer in English from Rom. 6: 26. Bro. Clemmer was born in Montgomery Co., Pa., Sept. 17, 1815; in 1825 he came to Canada with his parents. He united with the Mennonite church in his youth and was ever a faithful member, serving for a long time as chorister of Eby's congregation. He also took a deep interest in Sunday school work, and as long as health permitted took an active part in the work. About six years ago he was affected by an epileptic stroke from the effects of which he continued to fail in health until about a year ago, when a second stroke brought on fostering of the brain, since which he has failed more or less rapidly until the Lord called him up higher. His constant trust in all his affliction, was in God and he waited patiently for the call that should free him from all that is mortal. He leaves a sorrowing wife, 5 sons and 3 daughters and many relatives and friends to mourn the loss of a devoted husband, a beloved father and an esteemed brother and friend^.

Notes:

Clemmer. Caroline, (twin) daughter of Morgan L. and Harriet (Babcock) Hermance, was born near Paris, Brant Co., Ont., July 2, 1828. She was married in 1845 to Abraham C. Clemmer, who was born in Bedminster, Bucks Co., Pa., Sept. 17, 1815, and came to Canada with his parents in early childhood. They settled on his fathers farm two miles east of Berlin, Ont., where they lived until Bro. Clemmers death, Jan. 9, 1893. They united with the Mennonite Church in their youth. Some years after the husbands death, Sister Clemmer made her home in Berlin with her eldest daughter, Marianne, widow of the late Ezra E. Eby. Sister Clemmer was blessed with a spirit of good will toward all, and she "scatered(sic) smiles and sunshine all along her way," cheering, blessing and brightening those around her. The evening of her life was peaceful, and she was surrounded with loving friends who were happy to minister to her wants. A few weeks ago she had an attack of bowel trouble, followed by a severe case of hernia, from which she gradually sank until the end came Oct. 15, 1908, she having reached the ripe old age of 80 years, 3 months and 13 days. Her five sons and three daughters survive to mourn the loss of a loving mother. Beside these and her grandchildren she leaves a host of friends, young and old, who, while they mourn, have the consolation of knowing that after a well-spent life she has entered into eternal rest. She was buried on the 17th in the East End Mennonite Cemetery, Berlin. Funeral services by Noah Stauffer, of Strasburg, Ont. Text, John 14:1-4.
