  • Notes 
    • Cressman - Mary Ann (Snyder) was born June 6, 1872; passed away Dec. 4, 1934; aged 62 y. 5 m. 28 d. On March 12, 1895, she was married to Noah M. Cressman. To them were born five sons: Lloyd, Melvin, Zenas, Orlin, and Elam. In her passing she leaves a sorrowing husband, 4 sons, 3 daughters-in-law, 7 grandchildren, 2 brothers, 2 sisters, and a host of friends. One son (Orlin) preceded her in infancy. Always of a quiet retiring disposition, her influences for good went far beyond the community and her very sudden demise will make her sadly missed by all who knew her. While death came as a thief in the night, she being ill only a few hours due to a stroke, she yet left a testimony on her death-bed that she was resigned to the will of the Lord, and is now in His presence. She is "not dead, but sleepeth." Funeral services were held from her late residence near New Hamburg, Ont., Dec. 7, followed by services at the Biehn Mennonite Church, with interment in the adjoining cemetery. Brethren Moses H. Shantz, and Curtis C. Cressman had charge of the service.

      "Dearest Mother, thou has left us;
      Here thy loss we deeply feel;
      But 'tis God that hath bereft us,
      He can all our sorrows heal."
