Michael Wagler, 98, was born on a farm (owned in 1960 by David Wagler) on the fifth line of Wellesley Township. When the Wagler family of the Amish-Mennonite faith came to Canada from Alsace, they brought Bibles which had been printed in their mother tongue, German, at the time of Dr. Martin Luther. The late Mr. Michael Wagler and his brother David, became the possessors of the Bibles. One, owned by the late Michael Wagler, contained an early exposition written by Martin Luther. Each time one visited the late Mr. Wagler and enjoyed seeing his treasured volume under his direction, it was the owner's graciousness and humility which gave the visit its greatest value.C.
