• Notes

  Benjamin Shuh, "was born in Wallace Township, March 14th, 1880." Eby, Ezra E. (1895). 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ___________________ Shuh - Benjamin Bowman Shuh was born March 14, 1880, in Perth Co., Ont., near Listowel; passed away July 4, 1949; aged 69 y. 3 m. 20 d. In 1890 he moved with his parents to Kitchener, Ont. (then Berlin, Ont.). In 1898 he accepted the Lord and was a faithful member of the church until death. In the pioneer days of 1905 he homesteaded in Guernsey, Sask., on the land on which he still lived at the time of his passing. On Feb. 26, 1908, he was married to Elizabeth Betzner, who survives. Also surviving are 3 daughters (Mrs. Fred Bowman, Mrs. Merle Baker, both of Guernsey, Sask.; and Mrs. Jules Verbeck, Toronto, Ont.), one brother (Melvin, Kitchener, Ont.), and one sister (Mrs. Jean Lang, Preston, Ont.). Two children predeceased him in childhood. His passing was unexpected, occurring while he was attending conference sessions at Tofield, Alta., after a severe heart attack and a few hours' illness, at the home of J. B. Stauffer. He was a faithful worker in Sunday-school and church activities, having taught a young men's class in the early days and later an old men's class. Funeral services were held at the Sharon Mennonite church, Guernsey, Sask., on July 8 by Dan Schlabach and Stanley Shantz. Text: Jno. 11: 28b, Ps. 23. Interment was trade in the adjoining cemetery.
