  • Notes 
    • Schmitt.-Samuel E., son of the late David and Leah (Eschleman) Schmitt, was born Aug. 19, 1875, near Baden, Ont.; died at his home near Kitchener on Sept. 15, 1939; aged 64 y. 28 d. On March 13, 1901, he was united in marriage to Sarah, daughter of the late Isaac and Leah (Baer) Witmer of Rosebank. To this union were born 5 sons and 5 daughters: Vinetta (Mrs. Herbert Feick) of Blair; Edith (Mrs. Lester Bachert) of Kitchener; Pre. Lorne of Nine Pines; Delton, at home on his father's farm; Edna (Mrs. Harold Schiedel) of Kitchener; Harold of Waterloo; Edward of New Dundee; Wilfred of Petersburg; Reta (Mrs. Clifford Knechtel) of Bridgeport and Ethel, at home. These all remain to mourn his passing, along with 4 brothers (Josiah of Niles, Mich.; David of Williamsburg, Ont.; George of Kitchener and Simon of Louisiana). Seventeen grandchildren also survive. At the age of 16, under J. S. Coffman's ministry, he confessed Christ as his personal Saviour and united with the Latschar Mennonite Church of which he was a faithful member until his death. For many years he served as a member of the Ontario Mennonite Rural Mission Board and later on the Rural Mission Committee, until a few years ago when, because of poor health, he ceased to serve. For about 3 1/2 years he suffered a great deal from a heart condition from he was finally relieved by death and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus.

      "Peacefully sleeping, resting at last,
      The world's weary troubles and trials are past;
      In silence he suffered, in patience he bore,
      Till God called him home to suffer no more."
