  • Notes 
    • Rev. Samuel S. Stauffer, "the seventh son of David Stauffer, was born near the town of Waterloo, May 19th, 1857. He is married to Lucy Lackner and resides at Breslau, Ontario, where he has been stationed as a minister of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ Church and is doing a noble work for the Lord in His vineyard. He is a good speaker and his sermons are both instructive and convincing. May he yet be spared for many years to work for his Master. His family consists of six children".
