• Notes

  Susannah Eby, "was born September 22nd, 1858. She is unmarried and resides with her father." 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ______________________________ Miss Susannah Eby One of the County's oldest citizens Susannah Eby, aged 80, descendant of Samuel Eby, passed away on Tuesday afternoon at her home, 178 Frederick St., Kitchener. The late Miss Eby was the youngest and only surviving member of the John and Rebecca Eby family and was born at the Eby homestead, built in 1837, now 362 Frederick Street. In her youth the farm included what is now the House of Refuge property. When stricken with blindness, her father sold his farm to the county for the House of Refuge, reserving the house and five acres of land. This was sold later to his son-in-law, Martin Dunham. Her grandparents were pioneers who came to Waterloo County from Pennsylvania in the early years of the 19th century. Her grandfather, Samuel Eby, was one of the six original settlers of this community. Her mother's father was Samuel Bricker, who played a dramatic role in the mortgage episode of 1802-1805. Deceased was a member of the Trinity United Church and for many years taught a young women's Bible class and for 36 years acted as treasurer of the Sunday School. A private funeral service is being held at the Ratz-Bechtel Funeral Home today (Friday) at 2 p.m., followed by public service at 2.30 in Trinity United Church. Rev. W. E. Pescott of Toronto, a former pastor, will be in charge. Interment in First Mennonite Cemetery. The Waterloo Chronicle Jul 14 1939 pg 3
