• Notes

  BAUMAN, Salome, daughter of Silas and Lydia Ann (Groff) Bauman, was born in Woolwich Twp., Ont., Mar. 27, 1909; died at Fairview Mennonite Home, Cambridge, Ont., Apr. 16, 1986; aged 77 y. She was the last surviving member of her family, having been preceded in death by 9 brothers and 3 sisters. She was a member of First Mennonite Church, where funeral services were held on Apr. 18, in charge of Glenn Brubacher; interment in First Mennonite Cemetery. Gospel Herald - Volume 79, Number 19 - May 13, 1986, Page 338 ________________________________ Salome Bauman: teacher and role model, was born 27 March 1909 on the family farm north of Floradale, Ontario to Silas Bauman (27 August 1861-21 January 1913) and Lydia Ann Groff Bauman (27 November 1862-8 May 1949). She was the youngest in a family of 13 -- nine boys and four girls. The family was one of the few in the Floradale community that did not go with the Old Order Mennonites in the division of 1889. Silas and Lydia Ann became charter members of the Floradale Mennonite Church, and Silas was ordained as a deacon in 1896. Both Silas and Lydia Ann were regular contributors of articles to the Herald of Truth and the Gospel Herald. The early death of Salome's father from cancer in 1913 (as well as the deaths in 1907 and 1908 of the two oldest sons) meant the family was poor. Despite her difficult early years, the family encouraged Salome to further her education, and she boarded for a time in Elmira in order to attend "Middle School." After Lydia Ann moved to Kitchener with the youngest children in the mid-1920s, Salome finished her high school at Kitchener Collegiate Institute, and graduated with the highest marks in Waterloo County. After a year of normal school she taught first grade in the public school system for 12 years.... Steiner, Sam. "Bauman, Salome (1909-1986)." Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online.
