___________________

Albert and Anna had wanted to marry sooner than they did but when they approached their minister (name unknown), he refused to marry them and suggested that they wait a while. When they approached him a second time, he again refused to marry them. This refusal was due to the fact that Anna's father did not want Anna to marry "a cripple" and had convinced the minister that he should not marry them. Anna had previously worked for Bishop Jonas Snider so they asked him to marry them. He not only conducted the marriage ceremony when Albert married Anna S Shantz, but also performed the marriage ceremony when Albert married Martha G Bauman.

BAUMAN - Ira S. Bauman was born July 14, 1865; died Oct. 14, 1935; aged 70 y. 3 m. he accepted Christ as his personal Savior in his twentieth year and was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church until his death. On Feb. 9, 1890, he was united in marriage to Matilda Groff who survives him, with 7 children: Martha (Mrs. Albert Habermehl) of Conestoga; Emma of West Liberty, Ohio; Leander of Kitchener, Ont.; Melvin of Windsor, Ont.; Fannie, Ilde, and Roy at home. One infant son predeceased him. A life of true devotion to God and self-denying service to his fellowmen has been brought to a close, but we are comforted in that we know, that which was sown in corruption shall be raised in incorruption, and that which was sown in weakness shall be raised in power. "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection, on such the second death hath no power but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with him forever." The funeral services were in charge of Bro. J. B. Martin, assisted by Noah Hunsberger, C. F. Derstine, and Jonas Snider. Texts, Rev. 22: 4 and John 13: 36.
