Notes:

Rev. Noah Stauffer, "was born February 13th, 1842. He is married to Barbara Betzner and resides on the farm formerly owned by his grandfather, near Strasburg. On November 9th, 1876, he was ordained to the ministry of the Mennonite church for the Weber field of labor. The bishops that were present on day of ordination were Joseph Hagey, Amos Cressman and Abraham Martin. As a minister he is faithful to the dictates of his conscience and preaches the Word of God and not the laws and regulations of the church of the past, but the needs and requirements of the church of the present. His preaching is plain, practical and impressive, and in the delivery of his sermons he is earnest and brief. His style of preaching is clear and his sermons are so worded that the audience cannot help but be deeply impressed by the same. His family consists of three children"

Stauffer, Noah (1842-1928)

Noah Stauffer (1842-1928) was a prominent minister in the Ontario Mennonite Conference (Mennonite Church). He served in the Weber congregation (now Pioneer Park Christian Fellowship) near Strasburg (now part of Kitchener, ON). He was one of the first to advocate evangelism and missions, was a leading promoter of the Mennonite General Conference, and was probably the first to use English regularly in his preaching over the course of half a century

Pioneer Park (Weber/Strasburg) Christian Fellowship Mennonite Church

Early services were held in the homes of the first settlers, perhaps as early as 1833. Services often were held at the home of David Weber who lived across from where the church would be located. David Sherk was ordained deacon to serve the group in 1837, and in the next year, 1838, he was ordained minister. He was followed in 1840 by John Steckle (Stoeckle).

In 1842, David Weber donated one acre of land for a meeting house and burial ground. The deed was dated March 23, 1854, although the meeting house had been built in 1843. A new yellow brick church was built in 1894 on the same site. Noah Stauffer, who had been ordained in 1876 to assist John Steckle, was minister at the time. A Sunday School was organized in the 1890s; Sunday School records date from 1898. In 1899 the first Bible Conference to be held in an Ontario Mennonite church was held in the Weber church.

In 1971-1972 the church was enlarged and completely renovated. During that time - from October 17, 1971 to January 23, 1972 - the congregation met in the Herbert Feick home on Doon Village Road. On September 24, 1872 the congregation celebrated the 130th Anniversary of the building of the first meeting house. The name of the church was changed to Pioneer Park Christian Fellowship Mennonite Church in 1972.

In 1951 the congregation had purchased from Clifford Snider an additional acre of land located behind the church. In 1976, for the sum of $1, the congregation acquired a sixty-five foot strip of land along the south edge of the church property from Major Holdings & Development Co. A new church was built within several feet of the old yellow brick one which was removed; the date on the cornerstone is 1980. The 150th Anniversary of the construction of the first meeting house is to be celebrated in 1993.

Stauffer. - Pre. Noah Stauffer was born in Waterloo Co., Ont., Feb. 13, 1842; died in his late home in Waterloo Co., Ont., May 20, 1928; aged 86 y 3 m. 7 d., of the infirmities of age and pneumonia. Barbara Betzner, wife of Pre. Noah Stauffer, was born near Breslau, Ont., Dec. 19, 1844; died in Waterloo, Ont., May 22, 1928 (twenty-nine hours after the departure of her husband) of the infirmities of her age, aged 83 y. 5 m. 3 d. Brother Stauffer was the only survivor of a family of four brothers and four sisters. There remain of sister Stauffer's family, of half-brother and sisters; Moses, Aaron, and Samuel Betzner. Mrs. Aaron Cressman and Mrs. Ephraim Cressman. Of the immediate family of their children, all survive: Mrs. Ida Snyder (who resided with and cared for her parents for the past seven years) Obal Stauffer, and Jacob Stauffer. After a union of sixty years and six months, in which they shared the sorrows and joys in the labors of life, and engaged in the service of the Lord for nearly fifty-two years, blessed with joy of Christian labor and fellowship they laid down their life together to enter the long expected, and earnestly looked for, rest of the servants of the Lord. Brother Stauffer was ordained to the ministry if the Mennonite Church for the Strassburg congregation, near the place of his birth, Nov. 9 1876, by bishops Joseph Hagey, Amos Cressman, and Abram Martin. Early in his ministry he was active in building up the Church, in strengthening the spiritual life of the membership. In company with the ministering brethren - Solomon Gehman, Jacob Gingerich, and Joseph Nahrgang - evangelistic services were conducted in the homes of the brotherhood in Christ, in evening services at which the unsaved were admonished to repentance and faith in Christ, and many were led to Christ in these first evening evangelistic efforts. Brother Stauffer is said to have preached the first English sermon in the Waterloo Mennonite congregation, at the Hagey Church, near Preston, Ont. His services were much in demand on account of his ability in this language. He was nominated for the office of bishop at least on three different occasions - at the ordination of Elias Weber, Jonas Snider, and Abram Gingerich. His labors and influence in the conference work were invaluable, and his counsels were deliberate and wholesome. In his duties and service for the Church in general his efforts were appreciated in the organization of the first evangelizing Board, organized at Elkhart, Indiana. He with Bro. Jonas Snider, were the Canadian representatives at the preliminary meeting leading to the organization of the General Conference. His heart was in the growth and progress of the Church. He labored constantly and faithfully for the young and the old in the kingdom of Christ as long as the Lord gave him strength. His labors are ended. His co-laborers will miss him, the Church will honor his memory, the Lord alone will reward His servant. Funeral services were conducted May 25, from the home, where brief services were conducted by Bro. C. F. Derstine, and thence to the Waterloo Mennonite Church, services were conducted by the brethren, Jonas Snider, S. F. Coffman, and C. F. Derstine. An assembly which filled all the available space in the audience room, lobbies and basement, and some waiting outside the building, gave silent and impressive testimony to the esteem in which Brother and Sister Stauffer were held by the many who knew them. The remains were laid to rest side by side in the Mennonite cemetery. They wait the day of their resurrection, when they shall be like Him who redeemed them and for whose love they served their Lord and coming King.

Ida Stauffer Snider
1868 - 1966

Ida Stauffer Snider's life spanned almost a century. She was born a year after Confederation (1867), the birth of the Canadian nation, and died a year before its centennial. She had leadership and organizational abilities, but few women in the Mennonite Church were given the opportunity to use such gifts in her day. When the Mennonite women in Waterloo saw a need and responded creatively to it, Ida was there to lead the way.

The Waterloo Charity Circle

Ida Stauffer was born in Strasburg, south of the village of Berlin (now Kitchener) on August 8, 1868. Her parents were Noah and Barbara (Betzner) Stauffer. In 1887 Ida was married to Jacob Snider, and they began to farm just west of the village of Waterloo. They were members of the Waterloo Mennonite Church, which became known as Erb Street Mennonite Church after building a new meetinghouse at the edge of town in 1902.

In 1907 two young women from the Waterloo area had joined the staff of the newly established Mennonite Mission in Toronto - Lena Weber and Bernice Devitt. Through the Mission, the Waterloo Mennonites hosted a number of "Fresh Air" children in their homes. This was a program whereby children from the inner city were hosted by rural or farm families for a week or two in the summer. Noting the poor clothing which some of these children were wearing, some of the women from Erb Street met to sew new clothes for them. They decided this was such a good cause that they should do it on a regular basis, for which they should have a more formal organization. The women, aware of the expected procedure, first approached Bishop Jonas Snider for approval, which was granted.

The first organizational meeting took place in June and was held at the Berlin Orphanage. The women worked for the orphanage that day and made a few items for the Toronto Mission as well. They elected Mrs. Jacob Snider (Ida) as President, Mrs. M.S. Weber (Lena Weber's mother) as vice president and Lena Weber (who by this time was back from Toronto) as secretary-treasurer, and also appointed a buying committee. They drew up the list of rules and regulations and chose the name "Charity Circle."

Ida served as president for the first two years. The next four years she was vice-president. Then she was on the buying committee for a few years, and for at least a year had no office. In 1917 Ida was again elected president, which office she held until the annual meeting in 1929. From then on she still served on the buying or quilt-patch cutting committees for another decade. The work of the Charity Circle was always a very important part of her life.

Ida retired from the Ontario Sewing Circle Executive and from the presidency of the Charity Circle when she was 61. People remember her as a good organizer. A granddaughter recalls her grandmother's straight and upright figure. She reminded her of Queen Mary. Ida died on May 2, 1966 at the age of 98. She had witnessed many changes, and incorporated them into a life of usefulness.

Notes:

"Bill" or "Buck" passed away at St.Mary's Hospital, Kitchener on Sunday, February 13th in his 86th year, with congestive heart failure.

Beloved husband of the late Erla Elaine (Lederman) after 54 years of marriage: dear father of Scott and his wife Janet, Elizabeth Wing and her husband Paul, Cathy Plomske and her husband Grant, all of Waterloo, son-in-law David Schwalm and his wife Lynda of Parry Sound.; loving grandfather of Luke (Tara) and Kristina Schwalm, Emily, Kate and James Uffelman, Elysse and Todd Wing, Adam, John and Heidi Plomske and Jon-David and Amy Schwalm. Special great-grandfather to Suzy Schwalm, and many dear nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents, Orley and Minota, wife Erla,( 2001), and his loving daughter Susan Schwalm (1986).

Buck was a gifted athlete playing ball for the Waterloo Tigers and hockey for the Siskins at age 15. He left both to join the RCAF at 17. He was proud to be in the service during the war and told many stories of his enlisted time. He later coached the Waterloo Midget Hockey team to their first ever Ontario final. He was a founding member and trustee of Parkminster United Church, Waterloo. While he was a member of the Waterloo Park Board he helped acquire Bechtel Park, Parkview Cemetery and the Canbar Lands for Waterloo Park. He also served as a PUC commissioner for more than 12 years, leading the polls in every election he ran in. During his tenure, Waterloo North Hydro was born and new headquarters were built on Northfield Dr. He was very proud to be from Waterloo and marveled at its tremendous growth.

He will be sadly missed by his entire extended family including his four dear sisters, Elinor Martin, Phyllis Turner, Barbara Joan Schutts (Al), and Peggy Biederman (Glenn) and his brother, friend and business partner, Jim (Denise). Also brother-in-law, Dick Meunier.He will be greatly missed by special friends, Jim Huck, Frederick Uffelmann, Bette Goman and Ron Berger. Bill loved his family and friends.

In younger years, Bill curled but in later years golf became his passion. He was a life long member of Westmount Golf & Country Club \endash claiming his first hole- in- one at the age of 75. He helped form the Rainbow Ridge Golf Course near his summer home in Manitowaning, Manitoulin Island. His grandsons were special to him whether they were playing golf together or talking about life. He loved them dearly and they valued their relationship with a very wise man.

After his service duty, he joined his father and brother, Jim, at the Ontario Seed Company. Following his father's death in 1963, Jim and Bill expanded and grew the company. Buck loved the seed company and everyone who worked there. It was a true joy for him to come to work and he continued to do so until his death. His son, Scott and daughters Elizabeth and Cathy are an integral part of the company and were fortunate to be able to spend every day with their father. OSC has continued to grow and it was with great joy for Buck that it has become a true family business as many of the grandchildren have worked at OSC during their summer vacations making it a 5th generation business. His granddaughters were very special to him. They were his pride and joy and he enjoyed every moment of their visits. "We love you Poppa."

We will miss this incredible force in all our lives both family and friends. He enjoyed life and shared his love and humour and words of wisdom with everyone.

Bill's family will receive friends at Erb & Good Funeral Home, 171 King St. S, Waterloo on Thursday, February 17th from 2-4 and 7-9 pm. A private family memorial service will be held on Friday, February 18th followed by a celebration of his life at Westmount Golf and Country Club at 3 pm. We invite friends and family to join us there and raise a toast to a wonderful man.
