Shantz.--Barbara Shantz, beloved wife of David Y. Shantz, died Sept. 11, 1913; aged 90 y. 10 m. 25 d. The funeral was held on Sunday, Sept. 14, from her late residence to Stantz's Cemetery for interment. Her husband preceded her 19 years. She leaves to mourn 5 children, (2 daughters and 3 sons), 32 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild, and an only brother, Noah Stauffer, and a host of friends. She was a loving mother, a kind neighbor and a friend in need. The funeral was one of the largest over held at the place. Funeral services were conducted by Bishop Jonas Snyder and Manasseh Hallman. A very impressive sermon was preached from Isa. 38: 1, "Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live" (John 16: 33). "Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." She was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church for many years, as long as she was able to go to church her seat was seldom vacant. The last few years of her life were spent mostly at home, her body and mind being somewhat weak, but she was always able to be up and around within one week previous to her death. She was confined to her bed just one week. The last few days she lay unconscious of her surroundings with all the loving friends around the bedside. With her life ends the last of the pioneers of the community. She was one of the first settlers, had the privilege of seeing the community build up and saw her companions laid away one by one. She was the last to be laid to rest. May we ever cherish her memory.

SNYDER. - Veronica Shantz was born Jan. 5, 1843. She was married to John K. Snyder March 26, 1861. To this union were born 11 children (Ephraim, Ervin, Barbara, Emmanuel, Annie, Mary Ann, David, Veronica, Dilman, Herman, and Olivia). Emmanuel and David predeceased her. She died at her home in Wilmot Tp., Waterloo Co., Ont., Nov. 22, 1935; aged 92 y. 10 m. 17 d. She leaves 9 children, 26 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, 3 brothers (David, Stauffer, and Herman Shantz), and a host of relatives and friends. She was one of the pioneers in the community in which she lived. They started their home in the woods, doubtless with many hardships, but as the years rolled by they were able to build up a nice comfortable home. In this same home she lived 74 years amid all the changes that come in life. Oct. 23, 1900, she was bereft of her husband and she lived a widow's life with her family for 35 years. She was a good mother, "a mother in Israel," always willing to do for others. She was wonderfully blessed with health and strength until the last few years of her life. Her thinking capacity, and finally her bodily strength began to fail, and for only two weeks she was confined to her bed-without sickness or pain, just faded away until she peacefully fell asleep in Jesus. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." Funeral services were conducted at the home of Dilman Snyder on Nov. 26 by Bro. Orphen Wismer, and at the Shantz Church near Baden, Ont., by Bro. Jonas Snyder (Text, Prov. 22: 28) and Bro. Manasseh Hallman (Text, Jno. 17: 24), where a large number of people gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed. She was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery.

"Beautiful toiler, thy work all done,
Beautiful soul, into glory gone;
Beautiful life, with its crown now won,
God giveth thee rest.
Beautiful spirit, free from all stain,
Ours is the heartache, the sorrow and pain;
Thine is the glory, the infinite gain,
Thy slumber is sweet."

_________________________

"Florence and Salina Shantz ran a model household on Stirling Avenue in Kitchener and operated a dress and bonnet-making business to maintain themselves. Their home was a place of warmth for family and friends. They generously shared their gifts to clothe the needy, but with a flare of independence.

Salina, the older of the two sisters, was born on April 11, 1886 to Wendel and Mary Ann (Shantz) Shantz. The family lived on a farm on Erb Street, east of Philipsburg and attended the Shantz Mennonite Church.

Salina's health was rather delicate; so she stayed at home while her sisters were employed in homes in the neighbourhood.

In the early 1920s Mother Shantz suffered a stroke. Salina and Florence cared for her during the fourteen months in which she was bedfast. The doctor praised them for their excellent care, telling them they could qualify for nurses' degrees. When their father died in 1927, Salina and Florence moved to Kitchener.

IN BUSINESS

During the first ten years in the city, the Shantz sisters lived in various three-room apartments, engaging in sewing as best they could in such small space. Those were also the depression years, and work and resources were hard to find. Finally, in 1937, they built their own house on 11 Stirling Avenue North, their back yard adjoining First Mennonite Church's parking lot. They planned a large hall with sitting room for clients who were waiting to be served. There was a sewing room besides their own living quarters.....

Notes:

"Two sisters, Florence and Salina Shantz, also saw entrepreneurial opportunities in Berlin. Florence's specialty was bonnet making, a difficult skill to master. Bonnets were not easily mass produced, and making them by hand provided Mennonite women with a cottage industry opportunity of they were adept. The sisters had first moved to Kitchener from a farm near Philipsburg after their parents died. While renting an apartment, they slowly built up their dressmakers' business. In 1937, they were able to build their own house at 11 Stirling Avenue North, and ran the business from there. Salina and Florence might be making bonnets one day, and fancy wedding dresses for non-Mennonites the next. Younger relatives describe the sisters' home: 'They kept an immaculate house. No time was wasted chatting on the telephone. The newspaper was not opened until the day's work was completed and the house set in order. In spite of this, the nieces and nephews loved to go totheir aunts' house. It gave them a warm feeling'."
