• Notes

  Eby, Oliver, son of Henry B. and Sarah (Honsburger) Eby, was born Oct. 22, 1889, in Wellesley Twp., Waterloo Co., Ont.; died at his daughter's home, Kelowna, B. C., May 9, 1957; aged 67 y. 6 m. 17 d. On Dec. 10, 1915, he married Amelia Ulmer, who preceded him Oct. 7, 1934. Two children also preceded him. Surviving are 2 daughters (Edna-Mrs. Larry Green, Kelowna; Gladys, Regina, Sask), and 2 sons (Leo, Morse, Sask. And William, Guernsey, Sask.), 9 grandchildren, one great-grandchild, 4 sisters, and 2 brothers (Mrs. Edwin Bowman, a full sister, the following half sisters and brothers, Mrs. Gordon Weber, Florence Eby, both of Kitchener; Ella Eby, St. Catharines; Irvin and Edwin, kitcheners). In 1911 he went to the Guernsey district in Saskatchewan, in 1943 to Saskatoon, and in 1950 to British Columbia. For a number of years he held membership at the Sharon Mennonite Church, and although that fellowship was broken, we are glad to say that toward the close of his life, his attention was again drawn to the Word of God. Funeral services were held at the Sharon Church in charge of Stanley D. Shantz. Gospel Herald - Volume L, Number 28 - July 9, 1957-page 646, 647
