• Notes

  Benjamin Shupe, "was born July 27th, 1823. He was married to Anna Wismer who was born April 6th, 1829, and died January 11th, 1872. They resided near New Dundee, Ontario, where he was engaged in farming, but now lives retired and has his home with his son, George. Many years ago he was called into the ministry of the River Brethren denomination for which body he has been a diligent laborer up to the present time. His preaching is plain and practical and his sermons are always so worded that even the most unlearned can not fail but grasp the idea he wishes to convey unto his hearers. To them were born four 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.].
