• Notes

  Brenneman, Moses E., was born Sept. 26, 1881, to Daniel and Marie (Boshart) Brenneman, in Wellesley, Ont.; passed away May 18, 1957, after being confined two and a half weeks as a result of a heart attack; aged 75 y. 7m. 23 d. He accepted Christ as his Saviour and was baptized into the Maple View Mennonite Church near Wellesley, Ont., in 1896 by Bishop Jacob Wagler. In 1900 the Brenneman family moved to Nebraska, and four years later took an extended trip to the West. It was on this trip that Bro. Brenneman met Orpha Mae Mishler with whom he was united in marriage at Roseland, Nebr., on Feb. 23, 1906. They moved to Albany, Oreg., on Oct. 19, 1909, and he was ordained to the office of deacon in the Twelfth Street Church, Albany, Oreg., on March 18, 1912, by the brethren David Hilty and J. D. Misher. Three years later, on Nov. 7, 1915, he was ordained to the office of minister by the brethren J. S. Shoemaker, S. G. Shetler, and J. P. Bontrager. In the years that followed, up to the time of his death, he took an active interest in the church-wide activities and developments as well as assisting in the ministerial responsibilities of the Twelfth Street Church, now named the Albany Mennonite Church. His continual concern, his faithful counsel, and his devoted fellowship and ministry will be greatly missed by the Albany Church and the Pacific Coast Conference. He was preceded in death by 4 children, one of whom, Francis, preceded him by 3 weeks, on April 30, 1957. Surviving are his wife, 4 sons (Paul, Santa Barbara, Calif.; John, Calvin, and Edward, Albany), 14 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, one brother (Dan), and one sister (Mary Kanagy) both of Albany. Funeral services at the Albany Church on May 21 were in charge of David W. Mann, assisted by C. J. Ramer, N. A. Lind, and Allen H. Erb, with burial in the Riverside Cemetery.
