    SHANTZ.--On the 28th of January, 1892, near Berlin, Waterloo Co., Ont., of paralytic stroke, Hannah Shantz, widow of Noah C. Shantz, aged 72 years and 11 months. Her remains were laid to rest on the 31st in the Mennonite Cemetery, Berlin. Funeral services were preached by Moses Bowman, Sr., in German, and Bro. David Hostetler, Wayne Co., Ohio, in English. Sister Shantz was a consistent member for over 50 years. She had a desire which the writer feels to add, that is, that her dear children who have not made their peace with God might turn to Jesus who is waiting to give them this new life, and oh, that they may with the rest of the family live christian lives, so that we may all meet as a dear family in the City of God."For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 Cor. 5: 1. E. H.

    Notes:

    George Shoemaker, "the third son of George Shoemaker, was born on the homestead of his grandfather, Jacob Shoemaker, in Frederick Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, October 5th, 1803. From 1822 to 1824 he served his apprenticeship as weaver with one William Gratz who resided in Upper Salford Township. After having served his apprenticeship he made his home with Jacob Clemens. In 1825 he, in company with Jacob Clemens and family, Abraham Clemens and family, and others, came to Canada. During the first summer of his sojourn here he followed his trade, weaving. He had his shop at Deacon Abraham Clemens' place a little north of Preston. In the fall of the same year he engaged himself to Jacob Clemens who had selected as his home the farm situated on the west side of the Grand River, opposite Breslau, now occupied by Joseph Cressman. Here he was one year. The next five years he spent in "chopping and logging" (clearing land) for various parties within this township. In 1828 he purchased his farm, being part of lot No. 119, German Company's Tract, from old Samuel Bricker (formerly owned by old Hannes Eby), at the following rates, one hundred acres at $3 per acre and thirty-one acres at at $2 per acre. On June 8th, 1830, he was married to Anna Shuh who was born December 31st, 1808, and died August 20th, 1895. Soon after their marriage they moved on their farm where he still resides. He is now past 94 years of age. His family consisted of ten children"
