  • Notes 
    • Roth-Rudolph Roth was born in Waterloo Co., Ont. Dec. 10, 1868; died at his home in New Hamburg, Ont., March 1, 1943; aged 74 y. 19d. Death came very suddenly, due to a heart attack. March 15, 1892, he was married to Lavina Hostetler who predeceased him 16 years ago. Nov. 12, 1931, he was married to Rebecca Shantz, who survives him. He also leaves 4 sons and 2 daughters (Arthur of New Hamburg, Harry and Mrs. Elmon Shantz of Kitchner; Moses, bishop in the Geiger congregation near Baden, Wilfrid of Radville, Sask., and Mrs. Ervin Shantz of Haysville), 11 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren and one brother (John of Elkton, Mich.). In his young manhood he accepted Christ as his Savior and united with the Mennonite Church in which faith he continued to the end. For many years he served as a teacher in the Sunday school and took a keen interest in the study of God's Word. He endeavored to the best of his knowledge to maintain his home on Biblical standards. His hope was in Christ, the author of our salvation. The funeral was held on March 3, with services at the Biehn Church and interment in the near-by cemetery. The Brethren M Hallman and C.C. Cressman had charge of the services
