  • Notes 
    • Shantz. - Esther Marie, daughter of Wayne and Susie (Wanner) Shantz, was born near New Hamburg, Ont., July 23, 1941. After a short stay on earth of nearly 17 months she passed away at her home Dec. 12, 1942. She had been ill only a short time. She leaves her par-ents and grandparents (Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Wanner and Mrs. Joseph Shantz), her great-grandparents (Mr. and Mrs. Neil Wanner, and Mrs. Allen Freid), and other relatives and friends to whom she had endeared herself. Although we would have loved to keep her with us, we humbly submit to the Lord who had need of her in His home above. She budded on earth; she has gone to bloom in heaven. Funeral services were held Dec. 14 from the home to the Geiger Mennonite Church, in charge of Moses H. Roth assisted by N. E. Dahms. Text, Matt. 19: 14. Interment in the adjoining cemetery.
