• Notes

  Heckendorn.- Moses Heckendorn was born in Waterloo Twp., Ont., April 4, 1863; died after a lingering illness, in Breslau, Ont., Jan. 5, 1944; aged 80 y. 9 m. 1 d. On March 25, 1891, he was married to Amanda Otterbein, who survives him, together with 5 sons (Ian, Burford, Clarence, and Nelson, Kitchener; Wilmer, West Montrose), 4 daughters (Luella, Breslau; Seleda, wife of Jacob Cressman, Breslau; Pearl, wife of Gordon Eby, Breslau; Alta, wife of Orval Clemens, Hespeler) 2 brothers (Noah and Israel, U.S.A.), and 3 sisters (Mrs. George Hallman, New Dundee; Mrs. Ezra Geiger, Preston; and Mrs. John Brubacher, Sunbury, Pa.). One daughter, Arclista, predeceased him. Bro. Heckendorn was converted in 1893 and united with the Mennonite Church. On Nov. 10, 1912, he was ordained to the office of deacon in the Cressman Mennonite Church, where he served for many years. A number of years ago he was severely injured in a storm when a large garage door fell on him. From this injury to his neck and shoulders he never recovered, and seemed to be more affected by it as he grew older. His last testimony was one of faith in God, an assurance of his sins forgiven, and a strong desire that his loved ones might all meet him in heaven. Funeral services were held on Jan. 7, at his late residence in Breslau and at the Cressmam Mennonite Church. Burial in adjoining cemetery. Minister, Oscar Burkholder. Text, I Tim. 1: 15.
