  Mary Ann Shantz, "was born August 24th, 1834. She is married to Joseph Nahrgang." 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ___________________________________________ Nahrgang. - Mary Shantz was born Aug. 24, 1834; died at the home of her son-in-law, Ervin Snider, near Baden, Ont., Mar. 1, 1917; aged 82 y. 6 m. 5 d. She was married to the late Pre. Joseph Nahrgang Dec. 22, 1857. To them was born a family of 9 children, 5 sons and 4 daughters, of whom 3 sons (Josiah, Menno, and Henry) and 2 daughters (Mrs. M. C. Cressman and Mrs. Ervin Snider) survive, besides 12 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren - Sister Nahrgang died after a short illness. Her strength gradually failed until she passed peacefully away after saying good-bye to the members of the family in attendance. She endured her last suffering patiently, trusting in her Savior. Her desire was to go to her heavenly home.Funeral services were held at the Geiger Church on Sunday, March 4, conducted at the house by Osias Cressman and at the church by Noah Stauffer in German and Norman Stauffer in English.
