• Notes

  Cressman.-Josiah S. Cressman passed away at the home of his sisters, 778 King St. East, Kitchener, Ont., on Sunday evening Dec. 29, 1935, following a brief illness, at the age of 74 y. 2 m. The deceased was a son of the late Isaac and Elizabeth Cressman. He was born on the Cressman homestead at Strasburg Oct. 29, 1861, and farmed on what is now the well known Cressman Woods Farm for a period of 18 years, retiring from that place 22 years ago and residing at Sunnyside since 1915, until making his home with his sisters a little more than a year ago. On Jan. 23, 1895, he was united in holy marriage to Mary Brubacher who predeceased him April 25, 1898. On Sept. 15, 1916, he was again united in marriage to Charlotte Moyer who predeceased him June 26, 1934. He is survived by 1 brother (Isaiah of Strasburg) and 5 sisters (Mrs. Daniel Culp, Sarah, Minerva and Malissa of Kitchener, Mrs. Uzziah Shantz of Strasburg). He was predeceased by 5 brothers (Ephraim, Jacob, Nelson, Allen and Adam) and 2 sisters (Mrs. A. Biehn of Guernsey, Sask., and Mrs. Samuel Schweitzer of Kitchener). Brother Cressman was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church and he had a vital interest in all the activities of the Church. His practical participation in the activities of the Church was commendable and appreciated. This all was the result of a personal experience with God which he manifested in his life constantly. Funeral services were held at the First Mennonite Church in charge of the Brethren C. F. Derstine and S. F. Coffman. Message, "A Christian Churchman." Burial at Strasburg Cemetery.
