• Notes

  Anna Brubacher, "was born September 19th, 1832. On December 6th, 1853, she was married to Jacob Y. Shantz. They resided on the old 'Shantz Farm' about a mile south-east of Berlin. She died at Pottstown, Pennsylvania, October 1st, 1870,(Mr. and Mrs. Shantz went to Pennsylvania on a visit and while there she contracted typhoid fever and died. Her body was brought home and interred in the Eby Burial Ground, a little east of Berlin) leaving a family of seven 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ________________________________ Shantz On the 1st of October, in Chester county, Pa., in the house of widow Wenger, of Typhoid fever, Anna, wife of Jacob Y. Schantz, of Waterloo Co., Ont., Canada, aged 38 years and 12 days. (Her maiden name was Brubaker). On the 13th of September she, and husband and daughter left home with the intention of making a visit to Pennsylvania. In the evening of the 14th she complained of headache and weariness, from which time she gradually grew weaker until the 20th, after which she was confined to bed. Her disease still growing more severe. She departed from this world with a strong hope of meeting God and the Lamb in peace, and to love and praise them through all the ages of eternity with all the blood washed saints. Upon being asked in regard to her departure, she said, "I would fain die, for I could go in peace." These were her last words. She did not complain because she was not at home, but was quiet and patient. On the 4th her husband and daughter, accompanied by their friend, George Wenger, brought her remains home to Canada, where children, parents, brothers and sisters, and friends assembled to mourn her sorrowful fate. On the 5th her mortal remains were consigned to the grave in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends. Funeral discourses were delivered by George Schmidt and Enoch Detweiler. Herald of Truth, November, 1870
