  • Notes 
    • Binder - Rachel Dendels was born in Germany July 2, 1853; died in Breslau, Ontario, Jan. 1, 1935, in her 82nd year. When she was about a year and half of age she came to Canada with her parents, Christian and Mary Dedels. On March 8, 1870, she was united in marriage to Andrew Binder, who predeceased her 15 years. To this union were born 8 daughters, four having preceded her in death. There remain to mourn the departure of a loving mother, 4 daughters (Mina, Rose and Linda at home, and Nancy, Mrs. Ira Buschert, Kitchener, Ont.), two grandchildren, and a host of relatives and friends. Sister Binder was converted 34 years ago, united with the Mennonite Church, and kept the faith until her Lord took her home. The last 14 years of her life were spent as an invalid in much suffering. Her affliction was arthritis, and very seldom that she was free from pain. Yet she bore her sufferings patiently, wondering sometimes why she should be so afflicted, but always looking forward to the time when she would be released to enjoy her heavenly home where there is no pain. The funeral was held Jan. 3 from her late home in Breslau, to the Cressman Mennonite Church for services and the adjoining cemetery for interment. Text chosen by Sister Binder was Phil. 1: 21. Ministers, Bros. Jonas Snider and Oscar Burkholder.

      "God knew that she was suffering,
      That the hills were hard to climb,
      So He closed her weary eyelids
      And whispered 'Peace be thine.'
      Away in the beautiful hills of God,
      By the valley of peace so fair,
      Some time, some day, we know not when,
      We will meet our loved on there."
