• Notes

  Schaaf.-Ephraim, son of the late Andrew and Minnie (Stockfisch) Schaaf, was born at Kitchener, Ont., March 1, 1884; passed away at his home in Imlay City, Mich., Oct. 22, 1948; aged 64 y. 7 m. 21 d. In 1905 he moved with his parents to the United States and settled on a farm near Pigeon, Mich. On April 29, 1908, he was married to Lora Weidman, who survives. Also surviving are 5 sons (Elmer, Lapeer, Mich.; Clayton, Limerich, Ireland; Leonard, Ralph, and Nelson, all of Imlay City), 2 daughters (Edna-Mrs. Clifford Newhams, Cleveland, Ohio; and Estella Mae-Mrs. Charles Turell, Imlay City), 3 brothers (Norman, Pigeon, Mich.; Allen, Flint, Mich.; and Edward, Montrose, Mich.), 2 sisters (Mrs. Anna Wilson, Snover, Mich.; and Mrs. Emma Walton, Attica, Mich.), 12 grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, and cousins, and other relatives and friends. In 1916 he moved with his family to Imlay City. In his youth he accepted Christ as his Saviour. He helped to organize the Bethany Mennonite Church near Imlay City in 1918 and was a member at the time of his death. He took an active part in church affairs as long as his health permitted, having served as church trustee, church treasurer, Sunday-school superintendent and teacher. He had not enjoyed good health for the greater part of the last seven years, having been bedfast most of the last three years. Death was caused by a heart condition. Funeral services were held Oct. 25 at the funeral home, in charge of Paul A. Wittrig and Wayne J. Wenger. Burial was made in the Imlay Township Cemetery.
