MANNHEIM

Pioneer Passes. - One by one the old pioneers of Waterloo County are constantly moving from realms of usefulness to higher kingdoms of bliss. Death claimed a highly esteemed pioneer in our immediate vicinity in the person of Henry Baer. On Saturday morning, Jan. 22, he passed peacefully away. He 'was born Oct. 21st, 1842, in the township of Wilmot, about 3 miles west of Mannheim. Like many of the early settlers in this county he began in humble circumstances but by hard, honest toil and frugality he forged ahead to own a splendid homestead. possessing all the latest improvements on his farm. His early education was obtained at Hamacher's school. Having early chosen carpentering as a trade he erected his first barn at the age of 14. At the age of 18. Henry with his parents where they engaged in clearing the forest to provide land for crops moved to Blandford township At the age of 21 he began carpentering for himself. He made shingles near German Mills to earn enough to provide for board and clothing. Becoming a skilled framer he erected many barns and houses. Mr. Baer in those early days endured and overcame many hardships. While following his trade he had to walk on poor roads with a heavy kit of tools on his back, 7 miles before breakfast and often after a day's work 14 miles to a home. He married Miss Leah Bowman, daughter of Rev. M. Bowman at the age of 26. Two years later he united with the Mennonite Church of which he has been a consistent and valued member. Moving to Hay Township, Huron Co., in 1872 he became a deacon of that church and continued faithful to his ordination these 55 years. Remaining in Huron for ten wears, he returned to Waterloo In 1882 and purchased the farm on which he and his estimable wife have lived since. The union was blessed with 14 children, three sons and one daughter having predeceased him. The six sons and four daughters surviving are Angeline (Mrs. Dan Eby) of Petersburg: Elvina (Mrs. Wm. Bachert) of Kitchener; Louisa (Mrs. Irvin Shantz) of Freeport; Eva (Mrs. John Francis) of Kitchener; Moses. of New Dundee: Ephraim, of Haysville; Simon, of Breslau; Josiah, of Alberta, and Norman and Ezra of Mannheim, the latter residing on the homestead.

Mr. and Mrs. Baer lived happily in the bonds of matrimonial life for full 60 years. The deceased was in the best of health until last March. He was not confined to the house. however, until about two months before his death. He bore his sickness with Christian courage and patience.

The funeral was held on January 25th, services being conducted at the residence by Rev. J. W. Witmer and at Latchar Mennonite Church. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. Witmer, prayer was offered by Bishop Derstine and Bishop Manasseh Hallman preached the sermon from the words of Gen. 5:24 - Enoch walked with God; and he was not; for God took him. It was an eloquent sermon for the living with some reference to his old friend and Sunday School teacher, and one from whom he (the preacher) had received excellent counsel. The pallbearers were six grandchildren Edwin and Gordon Eby, Clayton Bacher, Clarence Shants, Manasseh and Arthur Baer. His age was 84 years, 3 mos. and 1 day. He leaves to mourn his sorrowing companion who is also past the four score years, ten children, fifty grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

Pre. Moses S. Bowman.

Near Mannheim, Waterloo Co., Ontario, on January 4th, 1898, Pre. Moses S. Bowman, aged 78 years, 1 month and 26 days. He was married to Anna Cressman in 1844, and the union was blest with six sons and six daughters of whom all but one son survive him. He has left also, 53 surviving grandchildren. On May 1st, 1853, he was chosen as deacon, and on January 2d, 1859, he was ordained a minister of the Mennonite church. For upwards of thirty-five years he worked earnestly and faithfully for the Master who had blessed him with a clear intellect, a keen insight into human nature, fluent language, and great spiritual power, so that his sermons were always attentively listened to. His preaching was of the conversational order, and his words thus seemed to be directed to every individual rather than to the congregation as a body, and as he spoke directly to the heart, reason and conscience of his hearer, his words never failed to make a deep impression. He was greatly interested in the cause of temperance, and his efforts in this direction, especially in Sunday school work, have been productive of much good. In the capacity of husband, father, neighbor and friend, his conduct was such as to gain for him the respect and esteem of all who knew him. During the last four years of his life he did not take an active part in the ministry, owing to impaired mental and bodily power, but he looked forward serenely for the coming of his Lord, and when his physician, during his last visit, told him that he had not many hours to live, he expressed his pleasure that he was so soon to be summoned to be in the presence of the King, where we believe he now is, and is to remain forever more.
On Jan. 7, he was followed to his last resting place in the Latschar cemetery by a large concourse of people, on which occasion Bishop Amos Cressman spoke in German from John 11: 25, 26, and Noah Stauffer in English from Luke 2: 29-32, and Heb. 11: 14, 16.

"Father, thou art sweetly resting,
On the lovely Savior's breast,
Where the wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary are at rest."
