FATAL ACCIDENT

On Friday last (April 14, 1893), Bro. Manasseh Weber, of the township of Wilmot, and his hired men were in the woods cutting wood. A tree they were felling struck another tree in its descent and a branch flew back and struck Br. Weber on his head breaking his skull. With difficulty, the hired men partly led and partly carried him home. He died at one o'clock the next morning at the comparatively early age of 34 years, 3 months and 14 days, leaving a sorrowing widow and five small children to mourn their loss. He was a faithful member of the Mennonite church for the last two years. He was buried on the 17th in Weber's cemetery near Strasburg where a large number of people assembled to pay their last tribute of respect. Funeral services were conducted by Moses S. Bowman in German from Matt. 24: 44, and by Noah Stauffer in English from Isa. 28: 29.

Pioneer Park (Weber/Strasburg) Christian Fellowship Mennonite Church

Early services were held in the homes of the first settlers, perhaps as early as 1833. Services often were held at the home of David Weber who lived across from where the church would be located. David Sherk was ordained deacon to serve the group in 1837, and in the next year, 1838, he was ordained minister. He was followed in 1840 by John Steckle (Stoeckle).

In 1842, David Weber donated one acre of land for a meeting house and burial ground. The deed was dated March 23, 1854, although the meeting house had been built in 1843. A new yellow brick church was built in 1894 on the same site. Noah Stauffer, who had been ordained in 1876 to assist John Steckle, was minister at the time. A Sunday School was organized in the 1890s; Sunday School records date from 1898. In 1899 the first Bible Conference to be held in an Ontario Mennonite church was held in the Weber church.

In 1971-1972 the church was enlarged and completely renovated. During that time - from October 17, 1971 to January 23, 1972 - the congregation met in the Herbert Feick home on Doon Village Road. On September 24, 1872 the congregation celebrated the 130th Anniversary of the building of the first meeting house. The name of the church was changed to Pioneer Park Christian Fellowship Mennonite Church in 1972.

In 1951 the congregation had purchased from Clifford Snider an additional acre of land located behind the church. In 1976, for the sum of $1, the congregation acquired a sixty-five foot strip of land along the south edge of the church property from Major Holdings & Development Co. A new church was built within several feet of the old yellow brick one which was removed; the date on the cornerstone is 1980. The 150th Anniversary of the construction of the first meeting house is to be celebrated in 1993.
