  Leah Rudy, "was born August 8th, 1855. She is married to Henry P. Martin and has a family of eleven children, viz:...Josiah and Jeremiah of the triplets are dead, Menno is living yet." 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ____________________________ Martin.-Leah Rudy was born Aug. 8, 1855, in Waterloo Co., Ont.; died Oct. 31, 1931; aged 76 y. 2 m. 23 d. On Jan. 31, 1875, she was united in marriage to Henry P. Martin who predeceased her about seven years ago. To this union were born 14 children, 8 of whom are still living. They are as follows: Lydia (Mrs. Noah Sittler near Hawksville with whom she resided), Menno, Christian, Jonathan, Susanna (Mrs. Samuel O. Stauffer), Maryann (Mrs. Joseph Gingrich), Nancy, Leah (Mrs. Norman Gingrich). There also survive 1 brother (Daniel Rudy), 31 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. On Apr. 22, 1929, she suffered from a stroke, from which time on she was confined to her bed. Although she was blind and almost helpless she never complained. The last few months she suffered much pain but bore it patiently till the end. She was a member of the Mennonite Church, having accepted Christ in her youth, and remained faithful, having a desire to go and be with those already gone before. Funeral services conducted at the home by Henry Bauman and at Conestoga Riverside Church by Henry Bauman and Jesse Bauman. Texts, II Cor. 4: 17, 18; I Cor. 3: 11-15. Burial in adjoining cemetery.
