• Notes

  Amos G. Cressman," born May 6th, 1893." 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ________________ Cressman.- Amos Cressman, son of the late Osias and Anna (Gingerich) Cressman, was born near New Hamburg, Ont., May 6, 1893; died at his home near Haysville, Ont., Jan. 20, 1944, in his fiftyfirst year. He became a Christian in his youth and united with the Mennonite Church and enjoyed his Christian life. On Feb. 16, 1921, he was married to Clarcie Stager, the union being blest with 3 children. In his passing he leaves his sorrowing companion and 2 sons, Lester and Irvin, and one daughter, Vera, all at home. He is also survived by his aged mother, 3 brothers, and 2 sisters. They are: Mrs. Simeon Shantz, New Hamburg; Omar, Plattsville; Joseph, New Hamburg; Simeon, Preston; and Mrs. Willis Wideman, Stouffville. Bro. Cressman was of a quiet retiring disposition, a man of few words, kindly and sympathetic in his attitudes. Although the Lord has called him home and we shall miss him our loss is his eternal gain. Funeral services were held at his late home on Jan. 22, 1944, followed by a service at the Biehn Church where interment was made. The brethren Moses Roth and Curtis C. Cressman had charge of the services. Gospel Herald - Vol. XXXVI, No . 48 - February 24, 1944, page 1023
