  • Notes 
    • Martin - Robert Nyle, beloved son of Oscar and Edna Martin, died suddenly April 6, 1938; aged 3 y. 3 m. 14 d. Robert was sick only a day. Surviving are his parents and 2 brothers (Roy and Morris). Funeral services were conducted at the Erb St. Mennonite Church, Waterloo, Ont., by Bros. Jonas Snider and J.B. Martin. The body was laid to rest in the David Eby Cemetery.
      "The call was sudden, the shock severe,
      We little thought Robert's death so near;
      And only those who have lost can tell,
      The loss of a loved one without farewell."
