  • Notes 
    • SHANTZ - On May 22nd, 1901, near Breslau, Ontario, Milton, son of Menno M. and Susanna Shantz, aged 22 years, 3 months and 17 days. He had been a sufferer for a number of years, and had lately been confined to his bed for several months, but he bore his sufferings with Christian fortitude. He was resigned to remain if needful or depart this world if it were the Lord's will. He was a member of the Mennonite Church about four years. His remains were laid to rest in the Cressman burying ground. At the house the services were conducted by Jacob S. Woolner, and at the church by Joseph Nahogang, text Rev. 14: 13, and E.S. Hallman, text Job. 14: 14. At the close of the services they hymn was sung "Parted hands shall clasp again."
