• Notes

  Amos S. Hallman, "died January 26th, 1891. Death was caused by falling backwards off of a sleigh on his head, causing death in twenty-four hours. He was not married." 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ______________ HALLMAN. - On the 26th of Jan., 1891, in Blenheim Twp., Oxford Co., Ont., Amos Hallman, aged 21 years, 2 days. On the 25th, he attended services in the Blenheim church and on the way home, Amos with 4 of his comrades stood in the rear end of the sled. The team, having gone over a piece of bare ground, and being suddenly relieved on the heavy load on striking a piece of good road, caused the sled to lurch forward, and several of the boys fell out. Amos fell on his head, causing concussion of the brain. He was conscious only a few moments and in a short time a corpse. "What is man that thou art mindful of him." What a lesson of warning to his neighbors, comrades, brothers, and sisters. May all take it to heart and prepare to meet their God in peace. Bro. And Sister Hallman have the warm sympathies of the friends and neighbors. This was the largest funeral ever held in the Blenheim church. Services by Joseph Nahrgang and J. S. Coffman, from Matt. 20: 19, and 1 Peter 1: 24 Herald of Truth , Vol. XXVIII, No. 5, March 1, 1891, page 76, 77
