Canadian Goudies

One of the first Goudies to remove to Canada was Hugh, a farmer, who was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, in 1792. He was a direct descendant of the ancient family that for four hundred years was settled at Craigie Mill, Parish of Galston. In 1815 he married Jane Aird, came to Canada in 1828, and settled near the village of Guelph, one year after the first tree had been cut in that city. There he resided until about 1850 when he went to live with his son David near Breslau in Waterloo County. He died in 1874, aged 82 years. His wife died in 1855. They had a family of seven children, two of whom were boys, David and John. The daughters were Margaret (Mrs. Wm. McConnell), Martha (Mrs. James Dickson), Jane (Mrs. Frank Diggins), and Agnes (Mrs. Thomas Tucker).

David (II), eldest son of Hugh and Jane Aird Goudie, was born in 1816. He was twice married, first to Sarah Fathers, who died in 1842, leaving one daughter, Emily (Mrs. Sam. Warner). His second wife was Nancy Warner. They first lived near Hespeler, then near Breslau. They had a family of ten children, viz., Benjamin, who died aged two years; John (Margaret Cober), David, (see below); Rev. Henry, who married Sarah Wildfong and lived at Didsbury, Alta.; Isaac (see below); Abraham (Lydia Snyder); Tobias; James (Caroline Snyder); Jacob (Rebecca Hambling), and Rev. Samuel (Miss E. J. Smith).

David (III), 1848-1918, third son of David and Jane Aird Goudie, was twice married, first to Miss Mary Holm, who bore him nine children, and later to Mrs. Martha Reesor. The children of David are as follows: Mary (Mrs. Oliver Pannabecker,, who had a daughter Matilda (Rev. J. N. Hitching), a missionary in Africa; William and Alfred, both of whom died young; Minnie (Rev. W. O. Mendell), now residing at Elora, Ont.; George (Miss Adams); Ida (Chas. Hutchins); Orlando (Miss Evelyn); Stanley Irvin (Miss Brittain).

Isaac Goudie (IV), fifth son of David and Nancy Warner Goudie was born in 1853. He married Susannah Witmer. They resided in Hespeler where he engaged in the mercantile business until 1904 when he removed to Kitchener where he operated a grocery business until 1913 when he joined the firm of Wese- loh-Goudie Limited, now known as Goudies Limited. He is at present residing in Kitchener, having reached the age of 85. In 1883 he married Susannah Witmer, daughter of Joseph and Catharine Sherk Witmer. To them were born five children: Arthur (see below); Robert J. (see below); Alice L.; Janet, who married Rev. James Semple, and Estelle..

Arthur Russell Goudie (IV), eldest son of Isaac and Susannah Witmer Goudie, was born near Preston in 1884. At present he is one of Kitchener's leading business men. By dint of hard work, perseverance and an unflinching devotion to high ideals he rose from factory employee in the firm of R. Forbes Company, Woollen Mills at Hespeler, to the position of President and Managing Director of Goudies Limited. During his business career he has found time to serve local and municipal interests with credit to himself and the general satisfaction of his associates. In 1909 he married Alice M. Weseloh which union was blessed with two children, Hope Millicent and Stuart Russel.

Robert James Goudie (IV) (1885-1927), second son of Isaac and Nancy Warner Goudie, was at the time of his death Secretary and Assistant-Manager of Goudies Limited. He served in France with the First Battalion, C.E.F., during the Great War and was in the army of occupation at Cologne. He was married to Julia Irene Stockfish in 1921 and left one daughter, Ruth Evelyn.

Notes:

Hugh Goudie, "All the Goudies of this county are descendants of Hugh Goudie who was born near Edinburgh, Scotland, January 12th, 1792. He was married to Jane Ayer about the year 1815. On May 28th, 1816 was born their eldest son, David, who came to Canada with his parents in 1828. They settled where now is situated the city of Guelph. Soon after Mr. and Mrs. Goudie's arrival in Canada, young David had to make use of the "axe" and "plow" instead of the "books" and "slates" as boys now-a-days do. He was engaged with Jacob Schneider of Bloomingdale for three and a half years. From here he went to Henry Sniders, thence to old Peter Erb. From here he went to Mr. Vance's, near Hespeler, thence to Groh's. After leaving Waterloo County he went to Cayuga where he resided for a short time, then again returned to Waterloo County where he has since resided. At present they reside about two miles south of Breslau, on the west side of the Preston Road. Mr. Goudie is quite an active and intelligent man yet, considering his age and great amount of labor he has performed since his boyhood days. He possesses all those sterling qualities which have made the name of "Scotchman" synonymous with business integrity, sterling honesty, successful in all undertakings, lovers of law and order, and, best of all, worshippers of the true and living God. On June 17th, 1841, he was married to Sarah Fathers who was born October 16th, 1822, and died at Cayuga, Ontario, August 28th, 1842, leaving one daughter named Emily who was born May 18th, 1842. She is married to Samuel Wanner, a farmer. They reside in Colbourne Township, Huron County, and have a family of two sons named David and George. After the decease of Mrs. Goudie he was again married, December 18th, 1843, to Nancy, daughter of Tobias and Catharine (Stricker) Wanner. She was born February 27th, 1825. To Mr. Goudie and his second wife was born a family of ten children"

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..
