    • Ephraim Bear, "born January 24th, 1877."

      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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.].

      _____________________

      Baer, Ephraim, son of the late Henry and Leah (Bowman) Baer, was born in Zurich, Ont., Jan. 24, 1877; passed away suddenly at his home Dec. 8, 1953; aged 76 y. 11 m. 15 d. In 1904 he married Lovina Nahrgang, who survives. Also surviving are 7 sons and 7 daughters (Oscar and Mervin, of New Dundee; Sylvester, of Manitoba; Moses, Jeremiah and Martin, of Bright; Allan, of North Dakota; Zelma, of Elmira; Leah and Mary, at home; Vinetta, of India; Barbara-Mrs. Gordon Bindernagle, of Kitchener; Martha, of Toronto; and Viola-Mrs. Roderick McKenzie, of Galt). From his youth he was a faithful member of the Biehn Mennonite Church. We praise God for calling him home without suffering, for he fell asleep to awaken with Jesus. Funeral services Dec. 11, were in charge of C. C. Cressman and M. H. Roth.
