• Notes

  Menno E. Cressman, "the eldest son of Daniel Cressman, was born April 13th, 1838. On November 8th, 1859, he was married to Lydia Martin who was born September 1st, 1840. They resided in Wilmot Township, about six miles south of New Hamburg where she died January 3rd, 1876. After her decease he married, November 7th, 1876, to Anna Good who was born December 18th, 1847. On January 3rd, 1869, he was ordained as deacon of the Mennonite body by Bishop Henry Shantz, and on October 2nd, 1870, he was called to the ministry. He was ordained at Blenheim by the same bishop. He is a good man and is a favorite among all who know him. As a minister he carries the best report. The writer heard him preach twice and both times he delivered both an impressive and spiritual sermon." 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. _______________________________________ Cressman. - Menno Cressman was born near New Hamburg, Ont., April 13, 1838; died May 6, 1919; aged 81 y. 23 d. Funeral at Biehn's church conducted by Jonas Snider in German and Manassah Hallman in English. Burial in Church cemetery. Nov. 8, 1859, he was united in marriage to Lydia Martin. To this union four children were born, of whom three survive. Jan. 3, 1869, he was ordained deacon of Biehn's congregation. Later, Oct. 2, 1870, he was ordained minister. He faithfully filled this place as long as health permitted. Jan. 3, 1876, his companion passed away. Afterward he was united in marriage with Anna Snyder. To this union one daughter was born. He leaves 2 sons, 2 daughters, 1 step-daughter, 14 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, and 3 brothers. His pain during a brief illness was not severe and he longed to depart. "Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in the grave so low; Thou no more wilt join our number, Thou no more our songs shalt know. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life is fled, Then in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tear is shed." Gospel Herald - Volume XII, Number 16 - July 17, 1919 - page 295
