WENGER - On the 5th of January 1896, at the home of her oldest son, Deacon J.Z. Kolb, near Berlin, Ont., of the infirmities of old age, Sister Elizabeth, wife of Bro. Jonas Wenger, aged 84 years, 5 days. Sister Wenger was born in the 31st of December 1811 near Skippack, Montgomery Co., Pa., and in the year 1816 she emigrated with her parents, Bro. and Sister Dilman and Kate (Schwartz) Ziegler to the then wilds of Upper Canada. On the 2nd of Nov. 1829 she was united in matrimony to Bro. Abraham Kolb who died in 1874. This union was blessed with four sons and three daughters, all of whom except one son are still living. In 1881 she was married to Bro. Jonas Wenger, who now survives her. She also leaves 44 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren. Sister Wenger was a devoted Christian and a faithful, zealous worker in the Mennonite church since her youth. She saw our congregations in Canada grow from their organization to the present time and always took deep interest in religious work. In homes where sickness and sorrow prevailed she was ever ready to render substantial aid and administer comfort, and when death came to her at last, after a long and busy life, she passed away peacefully and quietly, gathered as the shock of grain, fully ripened, into the heavenly Master's garner. Her remains were laid to rest on the 8th in the C. Eby cemetery, Berlin. Funeral services by Elias Weber at the house and by Noah Stauffer and Isaac Wambold at the meeting house.

Jacob Kolb, "was born April 17th, 1781. When he was a young boy his father died and then he was adopted by his uncle, Henry Kolb, who raised him, and after leaving school he served his apprenticeship as a gunsmith, which trade he followed even to the last years of his life. (Many of the old guns and rifles in this county are the make of old Mr. Kolb) In 1803 he was married to Catharine, daughter of Abraham and Mary (Steiner) Clemens. She was born May 21st, 1782, and died January 25th, 1869. After their marriage they resided in Hilltown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, for quite a number of years where he carried on a well-paying business at his trade. In 1819 or maybe a year or so later, they moved to Canada and settled in Waterloo County, Ontario, about a mile below Preston, towards Galt. Here they resided until 1826 when they settled on the west bank of the Grand River, opposite Breslau, on the farm now owned by their grandson, Joseph Kolb. When a comparatively young man he was ordained as a deacon of the Mennonite Church for the Cressman field of labor. He died January 3rd, 1869. To them was born a family of three sons and three daughters"
