Notes:

Bauman. - Mary Ann (Frey) Bauman, wife of Emanuel Bauman, died Mar. 6, 1921, at her home near Floradale, Ont., aged 33 y. 1 m. 14 d. She underwent an operation, about two weeks previous to her death. Human hands did all they could do, to save her life, but God saw fit to take her home. She was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church, and was a kind and loving mother, with a cheery disposition. However we need not mourn, as those that have no hope, as she gave a bright evidence that she was waiting for Jesus to take her home. She leaves a sorrowing husband, and three children (Florence, Orvie, and Howard), also her parents and one sister. Funeral services were conducted at the Elmira Mennonite Church, by Bros. Abram Gingrich and Oliver Snider. Text, Phil. 1: 21-23. Buried in adjoining cemetery.

"However painful it may be,
To know that she is gone,
The thought is sweet that we may see
Her in that Heavenly Home."1a

Snider.-Jonas Snider was born near Waterloo, Ont., Oct. 2, 1858; died after a lengthy illness, at his home, Waterloo, Sept. 6, 1944; aged 85 y. 11 m. 4 d. On April 1, 1875, he was married to Lucy Ann Snyder, who predeceased him in 1886. On July 5, 1887, he was united in marriage to Susanna Horst, who passed away in 1933. He is survived by 8 sons (Edgar, Clayton, and Delton, Waterloo; Addison and Walter, Bridgeport; Omar, New Dundee; Benjamin, Woodstock; and Gilbert, near Waterloo), 2 daughters (Clara and Hannah, at home), 30 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, and one brother (Amos, of Iowa).

Many incidents and experiences of interest were connected with Bro. Snider's life. His grandfather, Jacob C. Snider, was a pioneer of Waterloo County. He came from Pennsylvania and engaged in the sawmill and flour mill business at Waterloo. His father, Elias Snider, was a minister in the Mennonite Church.

In 1885 a wonderful revival was experiences in Waterloo County. It was not the custom of the church to have evangelistic services in the churches. A number of brethren, among them Noah Stauffer and Solomon Gehman, preached the Gospel in private homes, and many were converted. Among these converts was our departed Bro. Snider. At that time Sunday schools were not held in the church houses. In 1887, in a private dwelling owned by Levi Groff (at present the home of Bro. Snider's son, (Clayton), a Sunday school was organized, and the brethren Levi Groff and Jonas Snider were chosen as superintendents. The workers in this Sunday school labored faithfully in spite of opposition, and under the blessing of God the school outgrew its quarters. It was then held in Martins Schoolhouse, and finally in the David Eby Church.

On June 24, 1892, Bro. Snider was ordained a minister in the David Eby Church, now the Erb St. Mennonite Church, Waterloo. On Nov. 17, 1895, he was ordained bishop. In his church record book he wrote: "Nov. 17, 1895 at the Cressman Church ordination services were held to ordain a bishop to assist Bishop Elias Weber in his field of labor, when it again pleased God to let the lot fall on me." He held this office until the Lord saw fit to call him home. At his request the conference released him form his major responsibilities as bishop in 1935. During his ministry he filled many preaching appointments, and two or three days with horse and buggy were often required to make the round trip. Among these appointments were : Mosa (Bothwell), Glen Allen, Port Elgin, Hanover, Rainham and South Cayuga, Wallace, Zurich, Clarence Center, N.Y., and Berne, Mich. The congregations in his bishop district were: Waterloo, Kitchener, Snyder, Cressman, Wanner, Hagey, and Weber's. Bro. Snider officiated at many ordination services. He preformed two hundred and forty-two wedding ceremonies. His baptismal records are not complete, but up to 1919 he had baptized over six hundred people. In the conference district his name will long be remembered. At the close of his ministry we can say in the words of Scripture: "After he had served his own generation by the will of God, [he] fell on sleep." (Acts 13: 36). "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing" (11 Tim. 4: 6-8). The family will miss him as a loving father. The congregation at Waterloo will remember him as a faithful minister and bishop. In the conference he rests from his labors, but his works do follow him. Funeral services were held at the First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, in charge of the following brethren: Merle Shantz, B. B. Shantz, M. Hallman, C. F. Derstine, S. F. Coffman, M. H. Roth, and J. B. Martin.

Erb Street (David Eby) Mennonite Church

Early services which began around 1837 were held in private homes. Land at the corner of Erb Street and Hallman Road, where the present-day cemetery is located, was donated by David Eby Sr. on July 14, 1851; a red brick church known as David Eby's Church was built in the same year. The first minister in the new church was Jacob M. Oberholtzer who served from 1852 to 1874. He was followed by Elias Schneider (1874-1889), Jonas Snider (1892-1900), Newton Weber (1921-1923), and Noah Hunsberger (1923-1929).

Due to a difference of opinion in the David Eby congregation, Sunday School classes were held at first in a private home, that of Levi Groff, beginning in 1887. The dissension which resulted culminated in a division in the church in 1889; the minister, Elias Schneider, and the deacon, Menno S. Shantz, left the church and joined with the Old Order Mennonites of Woolwich Township. The following year, 1890, saw the commencement of "Edification Meetings", which were held in the homes of members of the David Eby congregation. These meetings later became the Young People's Bible Meetings.

By the beginning of the twentieth century, it was recognized that the church building was either in need of repair or in need of complete replacement. Consideration was given to building a new church on the same site or on a site on King Street North. A decision was made to accept from Samuel S. Snider the donation of a parcel of land which was also on Erb Street, but nearer town. Excavation of the foundation for the new church began in the Spring of 1902. A dedication service was held on August 17, 1902. A parsonage was built in 1929 on land donated by Herbert Snider, the son of Samuel Snider. The church building was renovated and enlarged in 1949-1950; a dedication service was held on April 9, 1950. Further renovations were made in 1974.

Ida Stauffer Snider
1868 - 1966

Ida Stauffer Snider's life spanned almost a century. She was born a year after Confederation (1867), the birth of the Canadian nation, and died a year before its centennial. She had leadership and organizational abilities, but few women in the Mennonite Church were given the opportunity to use such gifts in her day. When the Mennonite women in Waterloo saw a need and responded creatively to it, Ida was there to lead the way.

The Waterloo Charity Circle

Ida Stauffer was born in Strasburg, south of the village of Berlin (now Kitchener) on August 8, 1868. Her parents were Noah and Barbara (Betzner) Stauffer. In 1887 Ida was married to Jacob Snider, and they began to farm just west of the village of Waterloo. They were members of the Waterloo Mennonite Church, which became known as Erb Street Mennonite Church after building a new meetinghouse at the edge of town in 1902.

In 1907 two young women from the Waterloo area had joined the staff of the newly established Mennonite Mission in Toronto - Lena Weber and Bernice Devitt. Through the Mission, the Waterloo Mennonites hosted a number of "Fresh Air" children in their homes. This was a program whereby children from the inner city were hosted by rural or farm families for a week or two in the summer. Noting the poor clothing which some of these children were wearing, some of the women from Erb Street met to sew new clothes for them. They decided this was such a good cause that they should do it on a regular basis, for which they should have a more formal organization. The women, aware of the expected procedure, first approached Bishop Jonas Snider for approval, which was granted.

The first organizational meeting took place in June and was held at the Berlin Orphanage. The women worked for the orphanage that day and made a few items for the Toronto Mission as well. They elected Mrs. Jacob Snider (Ida) as President, Mrs. M.S. Weber (Lena Weber's mother) as vice president and Lena Weber (who by this time was back from Toronto) as secretary-treasurer, and also appointed a buying committee. They drew up the list of rules and regulations and chose the name "Charity Circle."

Ida served as president for the first two years. The next four years she was vice-president. Then she was on the buying committee for a few years, and for at least a year had no office. In 1917 Ida was again elected president, which office she held until the annual meeting in 1929. From then on she still served on the buying or quilt-patch cutting committees for another decade. The work of the Charity Circle was always a very important part of her life.

Ida retired from the Ontario Sewing Circle Executive and from the presidency of the Charity Circle when she was 61. People remember her as a good organizer. A granddaughter recalls her grandmother's straight and upright figure. She reminded her of Queen Mary. Ida died on May 2, 1966 at the age of 98. She had witnessed many changes, and incorporated them into a life of usefulness.
