• Notes

  Moses Eshleman, "the youngest son of Samuel and Nancy (Bechtel) Eshleman, was born near Blair, July 26th, 1824. He was first married to Susannah Stauffer who was born May 9th, 1828, and died April 2nd, 1862. On March 19th, 1866, he was married again to Annie Kay, widow of the late Samuel Erb. Mr. Eshleman resided on the old homestead near Blair for many years. At present he resides on Church Street, Berlin. To him and his first wife were born five children" 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. _____________________________ Stanley Park United Brethren in Christ Church A United Brethren in Christ missionary, Rev. Israel Sloan, is reported to have organized a class in Berlin in 1855. The Berlin congregation later, c.1875, bought a small frame church at the corner of Benton and Church Streets which had been built in 1841 by the Wesleyan Methodists for their own use. There was a split in the United Brethren in Christ Church in 1889 which resulted in two groups each calling themselves the United Brethren in Christ. One group joined the Congregationals in 1906. The other group remained United Brethren in Christ until November 16, 1946 when most congregations of the United Brethren in Christ organization joined with the Evangelical Church to form the Evangelical United Brethren Church, later to join with the United Church on January 1, 1968. The Stanley Park congregation is one of three United Brethren in Christ Churches in Waterloo County today. The others are New Dundee and Roseville. The headquarters of the church is in Huntington, Indiana. After the split in 1889 land on Church Street was donated to the congregation by one of their number, Moses Eschleman. The congregation held services in a frame house on the property until 1893 when a large brick church was built at 35 Alma Street. The church was named Alma Street Church of the United Brethren in Christ (Uttley 1937: 140). (Alma Street is now Charles Street.) A sod turning ceremony was held on March 15, 1970 for a new church on Dreger Avenue in Kitchener. The first service in the new church was held on August 9, 1970; dedication services were conducted on November 29, 1970 by Bishop Clyde Meadows from the Church headquarters in Huntington, Indiana. Rev. Keith Nicholson was pastor when the new Stanley Park United Brethren in Christ Church was built in 1970. The Alma Street church was sold in 1970 and is now the International Gospel Centre.
