• Notes

  Elias Pannebecker, "was born in February, 1838. He is married to Sallie Cober and resides on his father's old homestead, near Hespeler where he is engaged in farming. To them were born five 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a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.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.]. ____________________ PANABAKER, ELIAS Mr. Panabaker was born on the farm now owned by Mr. O. B. Ellis, formerly the property of the late William Ellis, now known as the lime kiln property, when Hespeler was known as Bergeytown and afterwards as New Hope, 71 years ago and resided there for many years before removing to Puslinch Township, where he lived until he removed to Hespeler some eighteen (or sixteen - differing reports) months ago to enjoy the fruits of a well-spent, well-ordered life. He was an untiring worker, always of an even temper and thus, a general favourite with whom to do business. Mr. Panabaker was always reckoned as one of the most trustworthy and thrifty citizens in this part of the country. He was one of the most successful farmers in this district and was greatly esteemed by a large circle of friends. He had amassed a comfortable competence and before removing to town, had built for himself a handsome brick residence on Walker St. , in which to enjoy the evening of his days. Providence deemed to rule that he would not be long a resident and he was submissive, as he always was, to the Divine will. The loss to so many of his friends, who would hope to have him remain, becomes his heavenly gain and so they do not murmur, as those without hope. The reward of all the faithful will surely be his, according to the promise. He was a son of the late Cornelius Panabaker, who was born in these parts. His grandfather was one of the Pennsylvania Dutch who immigrated to Canada many years ago. He was a life-long and consistent member of the Mennonite Church. He was a member of the board of the Adam Street Mission and in his life, did a great deal to foster and forward the work of this congregation. Always connected with every noble effort to lift mankind and a promoter of every good work, he lived the high ideal Christ-like life, as laid down in the oracles of that denomination. He was one of its chief supporters and the church suffers, perhaps, its greatest possible loss in his demise. He had been ailing for the past few months but his illness was not considered especially serious and the sudden call at 11 o'clock in the forenoon on Thursday, July 29, 1909 to the home of the Father was a shock. Even those who were attending him so carefully and patiently had not looked for the end so soon. Not until a more acute stage took place two or three days ago was the end considered near, his trouble being that of the heart. He leaves his widow, Sarah Cober, who is a sister of J. N. Cober; three daughters, Mrs. Ephriam Panabaker of Indian Head, SK; Mrs. Charles Hutchings of Toronto; Miss Anna "Nancy", at home; a son, Alfred, who resides on the homestead. A daughter, Minerva died some years ago. The funeral was held from his residence to the Hespeler Cemetery on Saturday at half past two and was very largely attended, services being conducted by Rev. Amos Eby of Berlin, assisted by Rev. D. Eby and J. Wilson of Hespeler. Pallbearers: Gilbert and Arthur Panabaker, Elias and Archie Holm, Cyrus and Oliver Gingrich, all nephews.
