______________________

Ida Frey Martin Bauman 1900 - 1952

As president of the Floradale sewing circle during World War II, Ida watched for sales of suitable material to make clothing for relief. She also began buying in bulk, because that was cheaper. She then sold this material to other women in the area. Thus the idea of the "Cutting Room" was born, and Ida nurtured it through its early years.

Change and Tragedy

Ida was born on November 21, 1900, the first child of Jacob and Christian (Bauman) Frey. Since Jacob was not a robust man, the family moved to Elmira at a time when few Mennonites lived in town. Illness and death stalked the family at every turn. Ida was a sickly child and, as a result, attended school very little. Several children did not survive infancy. More difficult, however, were the deaths of 16-year-old Lydia, a boy by drowning, and another child and their father who both died of tuberculosis within a week of each other. The Frey family was Old Order Mennonite. In 1921 Ida married John Martin, also from the Old Order community. In 1924 the conference congregation built a new meetinghouse in Elmira, and regularly held revival meetings. In the spring of 1926 John and Ida attended the revival meetings held by C. F. Derstine, experienced conversion, and subsequently joined the Elmira Mennonite Church. In the fall of the same year, John was fatally electrocuted. Ida did not receive much consolation from their families who considered the accident as punishment for their apostacy. Ida suffered a great deal of insomnia after the death of her husband. She began writing poetry during the sleepless hours of the night. In later years, people frequently came to talk to her in times of grief. Having passed through the valley of the shadow of death herself, they knew she would understand their loneliness and grief. In 1929 Ida married Emanuel Bauman, a widower with three teenage children. They lived on the western outskirts of Floradale, and eventually transferred their membership from the Elmira Mennonite congregation to Floradale. After her marriage to Emanuel, Ida gave birth to two daughters.

Service in the Church and Community

The church and her activities were very special to Ida. Although she did not have much formal schooling, she read and wrote well. Her daughters remember that she spent much time preparing her lessons. In Sunday school she taught the older women, but she also taught children at summer Bible school. She was often asked to write obituaries and essays. The essays were the women's contribution to the Sunday evening services. The sewing circle was a very important avenue of service for Ida. During the war years she was president of the group at Floradale. Carol and Gladys remember that during the busiest time, their parents would put the sewing machine in the back of the car and take it to church - sometimes twice a week. Ida purchased suitable material at sales in Elmira, Waterloo and Kitchener. She would buy two or three thousand dollars worth and resell it to neighbouring circles. Buying in quantity was cheaper as well. Ida was also involved in large-scale relief canning. Ida was on the Ontario District executive at this time, and her efforts finally resulted in the opening of the cutting room. As a member of the cutting room committee, she placed orders through a store in Floradale and continued to do this until her illness no longer permitted her to leave the house. The Ontario Sewing Circles purchased a cutting machine in 1942 so they could supply the women with pre-cut garments. At that time Mrs. Amos Gingerich made a room available in her house to serve as a cutting room, and Barbara Eby operated the cutting machine. This gave the women more time to sew rather than spending it on cutting, and also helped to regulate the styles and types of garments. Ida's work on the sewing circle committee at Floradale was not only a means of getting a great deal of work done at the time of much need, but served as a model for the younger women. Leah Brubacher recalls Ida's encouragement when Leah was a young mother and not always able to attend sewing circle. Ida assured her that the day would come when the children were no longer at home and then there would be plenty of time to devote to sewing circle, and so it was! To Leah, Ida was a good example, and she followed in her footsteps. Carol described her mother as "not a well person but very strong." She had several major illnesses, but they seemed to leave her strengthened. Her last one was cancer, which caused her premature death on May 26, 1952. With the work of the cutting room so dear to her heart, she instructed her daughters to give a sizeable portion of her estate to that fledgling institution; She had also told her daughters not to mourn too long as she felt she had done after the death of her first husband. Life goes on, and Ida's life goes on in the lives of those she touched.

Obituary of Allen Martin

Having finished his work here on earth, Allen was called to his eternal home on Wednesday, January 9, 2019. At the age of 75 he had fulfilled his role as a mentor, teacher and helper. Born on February 13, 1943 he pursued his dream of being an educator, a position which he held for 33 years in Waterloo Region, with most of his career at Linwood Public School. Allen served as a volunteer firefighter with the Floradale Fire Department for over 27 years. Having a deep love for music, Allen led church choirs, taught music, and sang in several gospel music groups. His other interests included photography, woodworking, fishing, as well as church and community involvement. Allen brought a smile and a laugh to everyone he knew and anyone he came in contact with. He lived life to the fullest every day.

When a diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease at age 50 forever changed his course, Allen found a great joy in writing a column, "My Side of the Dam", for the Woolwich Observer. He also appreciated going with Pauline on many bus trips during his early retirement years. While Parkinson's progressively and irrevocably changed his life, Allen took these changes and disappointments in stride, showing acceptance, gratitude, and grace.

Allen will be lovingly missed by his dear wife of 52 years, Pauline (Gingrich) Martin, whom he married on July 2, 1966. He will be forever remembered by his children, Sherri and James Martin-Carman, and Tammy and Calvin Shantz, all of Elmira. Allen will always be cherished by his grandchildren, Erika (Marty) Metzger, Amber Shantz and her friend Jacob Vos, Justin Frayne and Caleb Martin-Carman. Survived by his siblings Leo (Elsie), Menno (Laurel), Ernie (Carol), Raymond, Phares (Marlene), and sister-in-law Betty Martin. Also missed by the Gingrich family: Florence (Darrell) Jantzi, Cliff (Yvonne), Carol (Dalton) Jantzi, Bonnie, and Darlene (Eric) Frede. Allen is predeceased by his parents Henry and Magdalena (Diefenbacher) Martin, his siblings Marion (Gord) Longmire and Lloyd; Pauline's parents Ivan and Matilda Gingrich, and her brothers Jim Gingrich and Larry Gingrich.

The family will receive relatives and friends at the Floradale Mennonite Church, 22 Florapine Road, Floradale, on Thursday, January 10, 2019 from 7-9 p.m., and Friday, January 11, 2019 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A memorial service will take place at 2 pm on Monday, January 14, 2019 at Floradale Mennonite Church. A private interment will take place in Floradale Mennonite Cemetery prior to the service.

We cannot express enough gratitude to all the staff at Barnswallow Place Care Community for the exemplary care and love shown to Allen and our family. The dignity and respect given was second to none. You are angels here on earth.

As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Rockway Mennonite Collegiate, or Community Care Concepts would be appreciated.

Auto mechanic, missionary, Murray Brubacher's life was one of service

Murray Brubacher of Gibsons, B.C.; Born: June 12, 1951, in St. Jacobs; Died: Dec. 12, 2017, of Lou Gehrig Disease (ALS)

NEWS Feb 04, 2018 by Valerie Hill Waterloo Region Record


After he retired, Murray Brubacher was diagnosed with a form of ALS. The illness released his good humour in ways no one expected.


Murray Brubacher's life was supported by four cornerstones: his faith, his family, gospel singing and really cool cars.

The St. Jacobs-born former entrepreneur and long time Baptist missionary in Columbia, South America, died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in December but he left a legacy of devotion to duty that was so deeply rooted in his faith that even a bomb blast near his family's apartment in the late 1980s couldn't shake it.

"God had asked us to be there and our Columbian brothers and sisters didn't have an option to leave," said his wife, Beth Brubacher.

Murray and Beth were in Columbia with their children, Jonathan and Holly from 1986 to 1993, with one return to Kitchener during the height of the violence, when drug lord Pablo Escobar declared war on the government.

The couple, fearing the violence would increase returned to Kitchener in September 1989. In an interview with the Record at the time, Murray explained how the drug cartels viewed any North American as a possible enforcement agent. Even missionaries were not safe though this did not deter him.

"The drug lords aren't a good picture of the basic Columbian," he had said. "The common people are the friendliest and most beautiful people I've ever met."

Murray's early life could hardly have predicted that he would end up in such as a place as Columbia during a terrifying time in the country's history.

Born into a progressive Mennonite family his father had been raised Old Order '97 Murray and his two brothers were raised in St Jacobs. During his high school years, teachers realized the young man didn't fit into the regular academic stream though he was always interested in the way things worked and was forever taking apart anything mechanical, much to the annoyance of his parents. Those tendencies were, in fact, a window into the mind of someone with an innate curiosity.

"He had a different way of learning," said Beth. "He was told 'you'll never amount to anything.'"

How wrong they were.

Fed up with high school, Murray quit after Grade 10 and entered a four-year auto mechanics apprenticeship program. After receiving his licence, he was determined to strike out on his own.

"When he was 25, he started his own business," said Beth.

Murray's Auto Service was opened in 1976 in Waterloo and while the business fed his love of cars, there was a niggling doubt that this was the right path.

Beth had met Murray when he was still apprenticing and he had shown up one Sunday at her Baptist church with his fellow Spokesman Trio singers. The other boys were church members and invited him along. Beth was only 15 and Murray a whole year older. She admits, the age difference was intriguing and he later told her, he liked her because she was so welcoming. They started dating and married in 1972.

After running his auto repair business for seven years, the couple decided to follow their hearts. Murray, who at one time might have thought a good life included owning a lot of stuff, chose a life of service.

Despite his negative experience in high school where he swore off ever going to school again, Murray and Beth applied at Briercrest Bible College in Saskatchewan. In less than one week they sold the business and their house and this was before receiving admission confirmation.

"We had two kids at the time," she said. "We were homeless, jobless."

The couple did receive an acceptance and though they planned to study for one year, choosing subjects that would best prepare them for the life of a missionary in Columbia, their plans were thwarted when the country stopped issuing visitors visas.

Beth and Murray stayed in school an extra year, graduating with a diploma before moving onto a Texas college where they studied Spanish for a year. Beth admits, Murray was the one with a gift for language and he had a great deal of fun playing with words.

Once they were ready the couple joined the Fellowship Baptist Churches Missions which posted them to a community in Columbia where Murray's mechanical skills were appreciated. As Beth said, anything that needed fixing, Murray was called in though he also worked with the coffee planters and youth groups, particularly volunteers from Canada.

Daughter Holly Robinson said her dad's warmth always made people feel comfortable.

"He had this ability to really open his home to people," said Holly. "He was very sensitive to the needs of others."

The idea behind the mission had been to establish a church and Christian community that would eventually be supported by Columbians not missionaries. Once this was achieved the Brubachers returned to Canada.

Beth said their next assignment was with a Baptist housing ministry, Shannon Oaks Seniors Residence in Vancouver where they "lived with and loved the seniors."

The couple retired in 2015 and the following year, Murray was diagnosed with a form of ALS that first attacks the throat. They knew there was little that could be done and decided that rather than focusing on chasing after medical intervention, they would enjoy what time was left. Murray also had to prepare his wife for a life of independence.

"His first concern was 'what do you want do?''" she recalled. "He'd always wanted to take care of me."

Murray spent his remaining days making sure their cottage where Beth decided she wanted to live was in good repair and he taught her everything from how to use the lawn mower to how to put gas in the car.

The illness also released his good humour in ways no one expected. Beth said her husband was always funny but now he became downright goofy, even during an ambulance ride.

"The ambulance attendants said they'd never had such fun driving someone home from the hospital," she said.

In his eulogy, son Jonathan Brubacher wrote "In the two years of his diagnosis Dad became somewhat of a comedian. OK let's be extremely clear here, he became a comedic genius. His sense of timing and delivery despite having no ability to speak the words himself were simply astounding."

Holly said her father was so open about his decreasing mobility, showing the grandchildren every new piece of equipment, hopefully alleviating any fear.

"He was so generous about it," said Holly. "He didn't draw away from people in his illness, he appreciated having them around."

And on that final day in hospital, Beth said it was a celebration.

"The room was packed," she said. "It was a true party."

Jonathan recalled "I am immensely proud of his character in the face of his terminal disease. His attitude and faithfulness a testament to the true character of the man."
