• Notes

  Wideman, Leah D., daughter of Amos H. and Mary Ann Brubaker, was born near Brutus, Mich., Aug. 20, 1884; passed away at her home in Sheridan, Oreg., Sept. 8, 1956, after an illness of about 7 months; aged 72 y. 19 d. Near the turn of the century, she with her parents, was among the pioneers who moved to the prairies of Alberta, Can. During her girlhood she was converted in evangelistic services conducted by the late Bro. S. F. Coffman. In 1902 she was united in marriage with Edwin H. Wideman, who survives. They spent a number of years on a homestead near Mayton, Alta., and in 1924 moved to Sheridan, Oreg., where she resided until death. To this union were born 2 sons and 6 daughters (Rachel-Mrs. Wesley Ellis, Mary-Mrs. Dan Lauber, Oscar, Anne-Mrs. Willard Byers, Lena-Mrs. Amos Hostetler, Ethel, and Irene, all of Sheridan, Oreg., and Walter, of Grants Pass, Oreg.). Also surviving are 19 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, 4 sisters, one brother, and a host of other relatives and friends. Two sisters, one brother, and 3 grandchildren preceded her in death. On the death of her brother Joseph, she filled a mother's place in the life of his children. Funeral services were held at the Sheridan Mennonite Church, Sept.11, in charge of D. F. Shenk, Raymond Mishler, and G. D. Shenk, with interment in the Sheridan Mennonite Cemetery. Gospel Herald - Volume XLIX , Number 41 - October 9, 1956 - page 982, 983
