  • Notes 
    • Conrad was a very active man and said frequently that he wished to wear out not rust out. He suffered a paralytic stroke, but he kept on moving about when most other men would have thought it impossible. In his younger days he took active part in church, school and the general affairs of life. Burial was in the Baptist cemetery in Upper Woolwich (Sandhills side road) the church is no longer standing. Rev. John Meyers of New Hamburg conducted assisted by Rev. W. J. Zimmerman of Elmira. The Sandhills side road cemetery is now abandoned, but has been taken over by the township of Woolwich. It was cleared and all the stones were set in long cement trenches because the stones had all fallen or were knocked down so the actual places of the graves is not known. This was done by members of the family before the township took over.
