• Notes

  Amos Eby, "the only son of Benjamin E. Eby, was born April 13th, 1842. He was married, February 9th, 1864, to Hettie Moyer. He commenced farming at home on his father's farm, but in the year 1870 he moved on his own in Maryborough, Wellington County, Ontario, where he resided for a number of years. Since entering the ministry of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ he has disposed of his farm, and at present he is stationed on the Stayner field of labor where he is doing a noble work for our Lord. As a minister he has proved successful on every field on which he has been stationed by the conference. Like his cousin, Bishop Elias Weber, the winter months of his youthful days were spent at school, while during the summer months he was engaged in tilling the soil, hence his education is also limited, yet he is a good speaker in both languages, is well read in Bible literature, and is filled with that Spirit which comes from on high. May his efforts be crowned with glorious success. He has a family of six children, namely: Allan who was married to Clara Snider and resided on the old "Stafford Farm", near the toll bridge, where he and his brother-in-law, Mr. Moyer, were killed by lightning, August 9th, 1892, leaving a wife and family; Louisa, Matilda, Norman (dead), Josiah (dead), Ida." Eby, Ezra E. (1895).
