A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. _______________ Witmer--Mary G. Cober, relict of late Levi Witmer, was born May 29, 1849; died April 22, 1926; aged 76 y. 10 m. 24 d. On May 14, 1878 she was married to Levi Witmer and lived on the Witmer homestead near Preston, Ont., until after the death of her husband (May 7, 1916) following which she resided in Kitchener. Two sons predeceased (Albert E. and Jesse A.). One son (Leslie D.) and one daughter (Minnie A.) survive; also four grandchildren, three brothers, and two sisters, six sisters having predeceased her. Grandma Witmer as she was favorably called was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church for many years. She lived a devout Christian life. Her deep anxiety was to leave no stone unturned in her preparation to meet God in peace. She not only trusted the Lord for pardon, she sought to live a life pleasing to God. She had an intense longing to be more holy and better in her daily life and conduct. A large gathering of relatives and friends attended the funeral held at the Mennonite Church, Kitchener, Ont. Burial at the Wanner Church Cemetery, Hespeler, Ont., Bro. C.F. Derstine preached, assisted by Oscar Burkholder, Theme, Immortality."
