• Notes

  David Betzber "the eldest, was born November 14th, 1833. He is married to Catharine Brubacher. They used to follow farming but now live retired and reside in Berlin. Their family consists of six sons" 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. __________________ Aged Country Resident Dead The death occurred at Kitchener on Monday of David Betzner, one of the oldest residents of that place. Had Mr. Betzner lived another three weeks he would have been 89 years old. He was born at Doon on Nov. 14, 1833. He is survived by two sons, David and Elias, both of Kitchener. The late Mr. Betzner's father, John Betzner, was one of the early pioneers of Waterloo County, and the latter's father. Samuel Betzner was the first settler in Waterloo County, leading the Mennonite trek to this part of the country. New Hamburg Independent, October 27, 1922 ________________ Betzner - David Betzner, Sr., was born Nov. 14, 1833; near Doon, Ont., died Oct. 24th at the home of his son, E. B. Betzner, Kitchener, Ont., aged 88 y. 11 m. 10 d. On April 3, 1855, he was married to Catherine Brubacher, who predeceased him eleven years. Besides his two brothers, Noah and Moses and one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Snyder, Kitchener; one half-sister, Mrs. Levi Snyder of Didsbury, Alta., he is survived by four sons, Josiah, Henry, David and Eliab. Eighteen grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren also survive him. Funeral services were held Oct. 27 at the First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, Pre. U. B. Weber of Kitchener, and Bishop S. F. Coffman of Vineland, Ont., officiating. Brother Betzner united with the Mennonite Church in early manhood. In his demise the Church at Kitchener loses one of its old members and the community an early pioneer, who was a grandson of the original settler of Waterloo County. E. B. Betzner.
