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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ________________________________ Nancy Bauman Sherk was born near Preston, Ont., May 15, 1851; died near Markham, Ont., in the home of her daughter, Mrs. Laura Burkholder; aged 93 y. 4 d. On Dec. 17, 1871, she was united in marriage with Benjamin B. Sherk, who predeceased her May 15, 1929. Bro. and Sister Sherk united with the Mennonite Church soon after they were married and both lived a faithful Christian life until the Lord called them home. Sister Sherk was given to hospitality and Christian witnessing. She was a teacher in the primary department in the Cressman Mennonite Church at Breslau, Ont. for many years. Her home was the home of a number of old people, relatives of the family, until they passed on to glory. The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon from her late home to the Wideman Church for services and the adjoining cemetery for burial. Ministers serving were A. D. Grove and Oscar Burkholder.
