    • BRENNEMAN. - DANIEL Brenneman was born near Kitchener, Ont., Oct. 11, 1851; died Dec. 14, 1932; aged 81 y. 2 m. 3 d.

He accepted Christ in his youth, uniting with the Mennonite Church in which faith he was actively identified until his death. His Christian experience meant more to him than just Church membership, and his word of testimony was often heard expressing his joy in the service of the Lord. There remain his widow, 3 sons, and 5 daughters (Jacob, of Tofield, Alta.; M. E. and D. H. Brenneman, Mrs. Eph. Martin, Mrs. Irwin Kenagy, Mrs. Emma Widmer, Mrs. S.E. Eicher, and Mrs. Milton Martin, all of Albany); also 30 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Two sons (Christian K. and Emanuel) preceded him in death. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure, from which he was confined to his bed about ten days. He will be remembered in the home and in the community for his kindly, cheerful disposition, and in his passing the Albany Mennonite Church has lost its oldest member. Funeral Dec. 18 conducted by N. A. Lind, assisted by Allan Good and G. D. Shenk. Burial in Riverside Cemetery.
