    Notes:

    Shantz. - Mary Ann, daughter of the late Noah and Nancy (Weber) Dettweiler, was born near Bloomingdale, Ont., Oct. 5, 1881; died Sept. 20, 1942. She accepted the Lord Jesus Christ and united with the Mennonite Church at Breslau in her sixteenth year. She was united in marriage to Bro. Titus Shantz of Kitchener, Dec. 30, 1908. To this union were born 4 children (Ward, who died in infancy, and Melvin, Clair, and Anna). These three children survive and are at home with their, father. Sister Shantz is also survived by 2 sisters (Abbie Dettweiler, of Breslau; and Mrs. Ephraim Kinzie, of Preston, Ont.), 2 brothers (Isaiah and Norman, both of Breslau), as well as by 16 nieces and nephews. One brother pre-ceded her in death. Her death took place very unexpectedly, and came as a great shock to both her family and the brotherhood at Kitchener where she was a member in good standing. Although a woman of quiet disposition, she manifested an exemplary character characterized by many sterling Christian qualities. Her simple faith in God, her trust in the merits of His Son as Saviour, and her communion with Him by prayer were steadfast even though she suffered much through physical infirmities during her whole life. She was a true mother in Israel and manifested a conscientious concern for the present and future needs of her family, both temporally and spiritually. Funeral services were held Sept. 23 at the home, and at the First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, with Bros. Oscar Burkholder, Jonas Snider, and Merle Shantz in charge. Interment in the adjoining cemetery.
