How They Farmed Sixty Years Ago

…I can well remember when Noah Bechtel, uncle of John B. Bricker our genial corn borer inspector for Waterloo county, shot a large black grizzly bear in October, 1863. They had seen the bear eight miles north where there was a large bush and swamp, called Queen's Bush, where the farmers had their pigs to get acorns and beechnuts, which were plentiful. Mr. Bear came out sometimes to help them to butcher. We had no selects, a pig was a pig. One day a squad went after him but did not get him. Later in October he came trotting along through Wilmot township. Moses Bechtel and Christian Hallman were ploughing beside Noah Bechtel's cedar swamp when he came walking right up to them. They went in and Bechtel brought his rifle with him. They followed the bear's tracks for a mile from the swamp, through John Forler's swamp, then across the road into another 400 acre bush. John Forler hitched his carriage team into the democrat, drove to Petersburg, and brought a man up with a hound, and John Ernst Jr. came along with his bulldog. Wm. Miller put his hound on the trail and in a short time found Mr. Bruin sound asleep. Miller fired a shot and the bear came trotting through the swamp with the dogs after him. When he saw that he was surrounded it did not take him long to climb a tree. Noah Bechtel, with a well aimed shot, brought the bear down. …

John B. Histand

Shortly after returning home from Zion Evangelical church, about nine o'clock on Sunday evening, Mr. John B. Histand, a respected resident of this town, passed away, while seated on a chair. Death was due to heart failure and was shockingly sudden, as the deceased was apparently in the best of health during the day. The late Mr. Histand was in his 72nd year and has lived in Berlin for many years, residing on Spetz street. He is survived by his wife and son and daughter, John, who left for Star City, Saskatchewan, a few days ago and Mrs. John F. Mastern, of New Dundee. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, to the Zion Evangelical Church, for service and from thence to the East End cemetery, for interment.

Bechtel.-Bro. Jacob S. Bechtel was born in Bloomingdale, Ont., July 2, 1914; aged 74 y. 4 m. 19 d. On Feb. 28, 1865, he was married to Salome (Roos) Devitt. This union was blessed with 8 children, 2 dying in infancy, leaving to mourn their loss a wife, 5 daughters, and 1 son. He had been ailing for about 2 years with cancer of the stomach. All his life was spent without God and no hope for the future until about 2 months before the death summons came he desired a minister to visit him, being deeply concerned about his soul's salvation. About two weeks later he sent for a bishop and wanted to be baptized and received into the church, which was done. He mourned his misspent life, but rejoiced in the saving power in the blood of Jesus. Funeral services were held July 4 at the home by Noah Hunsberger and at the Berlin Church by Jonas Snider in German, and by Pastor Burns of the Evangelical Church, Waterloo, in English.

OLD TIMER STILL ACTIVE

92-Year-Old Man Husks Corn, Shovels Snow, Mows The Hay

When most men of his age sit by the fireside smoking a pipe and probably reminiscing old times, Noah Bechtel of Mannheim, who will celebrate his 92nd birthday on Saturday, spends most of his time actively engaged in outdoor physical labor.

When interviewed by a Chronicle reporter on Friday, he was out in the field husking corn. But that isn't all. Last year he was responsible for cutting sixty loads of hay with horses and mower on his daughter's farm, Mrs. Sarah Snyder, where he now resides. Two years ago when snow was four feet deep. he shovelled out his long lane. At that time he was a "mere" 90.

Likes Outside Work

While he enjoys remarkable health for a man of his age, the nonegenarian admits he is a bit hard of hearing. Another outstanding feature about Mr. Bechtel is that he reads without the use of glasses. He has "an appetite like a horse" and says he "feels much better when I am working outside in the fresh air."

Mr. Bechtel attributes his longevity and good health to the fact that he has always been active. He was a trustee on the Elmdale school board for a number of years. Outside of being a trustee, his main interest has been farming as it is to this day. He is a man of moderation and claims he has never smoked.

Butter 10-12c Pound

Mr. Bechtel recalls the days half a century ago when he brought his produce to the Kitchener market, then known as Berlin. Eggs sold for three dozen for 25c and butter brought 10 to 12c a pound.

He has seen a great transition in farm equipment throughout the years. Mechanical contrivances have replaced the "good horse" in many instances. But that part isn't worrying him one bit because he has never learned to drive a tractor. "Almost any boy can handle a tractor nowadays," he chuckled, "but I'll stick to the horse."

Mannheim's Grand Old Man" was born 92 years ago on a farm near Baden. His wife, the former Mary Anne Snyder, died 17 years ago. She too, was born in the Baden district. He has lived and worked in Waterloo County all his life.

He is the last of a family of six girls and boys.

Mr. Bechtel is definitely a family man. He has 10 children, 46 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.

The last few months of her life she was a patient sufferer of complicated disease, but slipped peacefully away May 20 to her eternal rest. May God comfort the bereaved family, interment in the adjoining cemetery.

"'Tis hard to part with Mother dear,
No more to see, no more to hear;
But yet we're glad if God thought best
To end her troubles and give her rest."

Death of Mrs. A. Doerr

The death took place on Tuesday at her home, 139 Wellington street, of Mrs. Adam Doerr. She had been a sufferer for the past 25 years with a complication of diseases. Three years ago she underwent an operation at the B. & W. Hospital, which proved beneficial for a time, but for the past three months she had been confined to her bed. For five weeks she had not been able to take any nourishment, and her strength gradually failed. She was conscious until the last. During the long hours of suffering Mrs. Doerr never complained, but bore her illness with patience and Christian fortitude. The deceased, whose maiden name was Lovina Bechtel, was born in Wilmot Tp., and has resided in Berlin for the past 14 years. She was 52 years, 4 months and 6 days of age. Exactly 34 years ago to the day of her death, she was married to Mr. Adam Doerr, who, with a family of 5 sons and 4 daughters, survive her. The funeral will be held on Friday, Jan. 1st, at 2 p.m., from her late residence, 139 Wellington street, to Trinity Methodist Church for service, and thence to the East End cemetery for burial. The services at the church will be in both English and German.

Roseville Mennonite Church (Detweiler Meeting House)

Services began in homes in the area with the arrival of the first settlers around 1822. A first meeting house was built about 1830 approximately a half-mile west of Roseville, on the south side of the road. One acre of land on the northeast corner of Lot 37, Concession 11, North Dumfries Township, was transferred from Samuel C. Snyder. The deed for the property was dated 1830, but it was not registered until August 1842. A stone meeting house was built in 1855 just slightly east of the old log meeting house; the church was dedicated on November 25, 1855 by the congregation's first minister, Jacob F. Detweiler. Henry Shantz, Enoch Detweiler and Solomon Gehman were the ministers who followed Jacob F. Detweiler.

Sunday School began in 1924 and in 1933 Young People's Bible Meetings were organized. The latter meetings were held in conjunction with those of the Blenheim Mennonite Church. A Sunday School classroom was added to the Detweiler church in 1956.

Moses Bowman, a layman from First Mennonite Church in Kitchener, was ordained minister to Detweiler Mennonite Church in 1938 where he continued to serve until the time of his death in 1964. The small congregation was served by visiting ministers until it disbanded in January 1966. Some of the remaining families are reported to have joined with Blenheim Mennonite Church at that time.

"Retired Cleric Passes at 95 - Rev. J. B. Detweiler Went West at Age of 50

Rev. J. B. Detweiler, prominent Kitchener Mennonite Brethren pastor, who aided in hewing a home for a group of Waterloo county Mennonite settlers in the wilderness of Western Canada as their spiritual adviser, died at his home, 71 Ahrens Street, today. He was 95 years of age.

A brother of D. B. Detweiler of Hydro fame, the deceased entered the ministry of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ in 1879, holding pastorates in Nottawasaga, Kitchener, Blair, Elmwood, and New Dundee. At the age of 50, when many people were entertaining thoughts of retirement, Rev. Mr.Detweiler accompanied a party of Mennonite pioneers to Didsbury, Alta. His duties of pastor there included those of postmaster, letter carrier, land guide and grocer.

Born in North Dumfries township on Oct. 6, 1844, near Roseville, Mr.Detwiller was a s/o Rev. Enoch R. Detweiler and Abigail Bechtel. He was first married to Miss Harriet Shantz of Roseville and following her death at Didsbury in 1909 he married Margaret Williams of Winnipeg in 1911.

Surviving are his widow, two adopted daughters, Mrs. Louisa Shantz of Calgary, and Mrs. Mary Traub of Vancouver, B.C., and one sister, Mrs. D. S. Huber of Kitchener...."

Detwiler, George Bechtel (1847-1931).

George Bechtel Detwiler was born near Roseville in Waterloo Co., ON. A Mennonite, he married Harriet Tyson, a Brethren in Christ from Pennsylvania, in 1870. Four years later he joined her denomination. After teaching school for several years, he moved in 1885 with his family to a farm near Fort Erie, where he became a minister in the Bertie congregation and helped organize the first Sunday school in at least two Ontario Brethren in Christ congregations.

In 1899 the Detwilers moved to Abilene, KS where he became first associate editor and a few months later editor of his denomination's paper, Evangelical Visitor. In 1902 the editorial offices and the Detwilers moved to Harrisburg, PA. Although he did not accept the doctrine of sanctification that was being increasingly favored in the Brethren in Christ Church, he endeavored in his editing to maintain a balance between opposing positions on the doctrine. This editorial policy, however, led in 1918 to his replacement as editor by Vernon Stump, a strong holiness advocate. Thereafter, under Stump, Evangelical Visitor became a holiness paper. From 1917 to 1925 he taught Bible at Messiah Bible College (later Messiah College). Throughout his life he was a respected Bible commentator and Bible conference speaker.

DANIEL B. DETWEILER 1860-1919

Daniel B. Detweiler was one of the three "fathers of hydro" in Ontario. After years of hard effort, in association with others, his dream of hydro electric power as a provincial undertaking became a reality. He travelled dusty county roads on his bicycle seeking the support of councils in the project.

A cairn erected in 1935 in his native Roseville is a monument to his participation in the enterprise. In 1963, Ontario Hydro named the transformer station at Petersburg after him. In 1918 he developed water power near Michipicoten on Lake Superior and organized the Algoma factory and in 1901 joined a shoe company.

Detweiler was a leading member and President of the Board of Trade and a member of the Kitchener Light Commission

Dr. Detwiler Was World Officer

In Her Death Kitchener Loses Only Woman Member Of World Executive

With the passing of Dr. Sara H. Detwiler, whose funeral took place yesterday. Kitchener lost its only woman realdent with the distinction of being on the world executive of an organization. Dr. Det wiler was on the executive committee of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union as superintendent of the Travellers' Aid department for the world.

In addition to holding office on the world executive of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union Dr. Detweller held the same office in the Dominion W.CTU and also in the Ontario provincial organization. And although Dr. Detwiler had the honor of being chosen to head a department in the world executive of her chosen organization she did not hold the first link in the chain, the local union - beneath her interest. For a number of years she served as treasurer of the Kitchener Union the members of which credit her with the Kitchener Union's success in meeting its financial obligations year by year.

To her activity as world superintendent of travellers' aid Dr. Detwiler gave unstintingly and unselfishly of her time, energy and devotion often declaring. "there is no other organization better fitted to develop this work than the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and there is no other phase of social service effort which produces better results for the amount of energy expended."

AMOS BRICKER

Here is another enterprising and hard working young farmer. Despite the fact that his home was entirely destroyed by fire seven years ago his family is comfortably situated beneath the roof of a neat and spacious brick house. The cause which resulted in the destruction of the old house was lightning. His place is well supplied with wind-mill power, which is utilized in pumping and forcing water conveniently to the house and barnyard and grinding and cutting feed for his cattle. He has fattened twenty head of cattle this season, and has several fine animals about ready for the market now, and has twelve cows of the Durham and Holstein cross and Holstein and Jersey also. He keeps six horses. Last year be produced 1,730 bushels of wheat, 1,100 bushels of oats and 250 bushels of peas. He is the father of five children, two of them being fine twin boys. It is not likely that they will ever want for the necessities of life while under the parental roof, as the father and mother seem to be amply capable of producing everything in that line in abundance.

ELIJAH B. BRICKER.

This young and prosperous agriculturist, residing in section 4, Greenwood township, was born on a farm in Waterloo county, Ontario, Canada, January 22, 1858, a son of Benjamin and Esther (Bechtel ) Bricker, residents of the same county and the parents of thirteen children. Elijah B. Bricker was reared to farming on the Canadian homestead, and was educated in the common schools. November 26, 1878, he married, in Waterloo, Ontario, Miss Louisa Burkholder, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Erb) Burkholder, both of whom died in Waterloo county. Of the nine children born to these parents, Mrs. Bricker is the youngest, and was born October 19, 1861. The young couple came to St. Clair county, Michigan, in April, 1879, and settled on the farm which they still occupy, and which Mr. Bricker has improved with all the modern conveniences that go to make the farmer's life congenial and profitable. His dwelling is one of the best in the township, his outbuildings are commodious and substantial, and his one hundred and sixty acres are under a fine state of cultivation. Mr. Bricker gives a great deal of attention to the breeding, fattening and shipping of choice grades of live stock, as well as to buying and selling. For eight years he shipped stock quite extensively to Buffalo markets. His breeding has been of the grade shorthorn, his herd of about forty head being one of the choicest line of grade animals in the state. One of the modern improvements is a one -hundred-ton silo, which is filled with the corn crop, and furnishes the best food for all stock.

The three children born to Mr. and Mrs. Bricker on this farm were named as follows; Ira, who graduated from the Yale high school with the class of 1901, and is now the cashier of the State Savings Bank at Feck, Michigan, a position voluntarily offered him when he was attending the Detroit University; Ora, who died when but six months old, and Roy, a student in the Yale high school.

In politics Mr. Bricker is a Republican, and has served his party and his fellow citizens as delegate to convetitions and in the offices of school director and highway commissioner. He is public spirited, is a friend to public improvements, and a strong advocate of public instruction, and is ready at all times to aid financially such undertakings as will conduce to the prosperity and well doing of the public at large.

Fraternally Mr. Bricker Is a member of the Ancient Order of Gleaners, Modern Woodmen of America, and Star Grange, and has held all the principal offices in those societies. In social circles Mr. and Mrs. Bricker hold a very high station, being classed with the best people. As a business man Mr. Bricker's every transaction has been honest and straight forward, and his good faith has never been o'ercast by the shadow of a doubt. By his hard work and strict frugality he has become one of the most substantial citizens of Greenwood township, and the credit is dtie to himself alone, aided by the willing assistance of his amiable helpmate, who is entitled to a share of the credit.

GEORGE BRICKER.

One of the youngest of the rising farmers ol Greenwood township is George Bricker, who was born in Waterloo county, Ontario, September 24, 1866, and is a son of Benjamin and Esther (Bechtel) Bricker, of whom mention is made in the biography of Elijah B. Bricker, an elder brother, to be found on another page of this work, and who are still residents of Ontario. George Bricker, a younger member of the large family, thirteen in number, reared by his parents, was brought up to farming on the home place, oh which he lived until he reached twenty-two years of age, when, in the spring of 1889, he came to Greenwood township with his wife and settled on the farm of one hundred and sixty acres, in section 9, where he still resides, engaged in farming and stock raising.

The marriage of George Bricker took place in Waterloo county, Ontario, March 13. 1889, to Miss Mary Ann Good, a daughter of Jonathan and Maria (Rosenberger) Good, also natives of Ontario, and late residents of Alberta, where he died in 1902. Mr. and Mrs. Good are the parents of eleven children, and of these Mrs. Bricker is the fourth in order of birth, her nativity having taken place in Waterloo county, Ontario, June 6. 1867. To Mr. and Mrs. Bricker have been born three children, named, in order of birth, Eden, Ruth and Harvey.

In politics Mr. Bricker is a Republican, and has the full confidence of his party, whom he has served with ability and faithfulness as school inspector and as a member of school board for several years. He prefers, however, to devote his time and attention to the cultivation of his farm, but is ever ready to work in the political field w"hen called upon. He is no office seeker, and serves his party and his fellow citizens rather from feelings of duty than from a desire of profit or emolument. As a farmer, he has been successful, and as a citizen he holds a high position in the esteem of his neighbors, who respect him for his integrity as well as his industry and many personal good qualities. He and Mrs. Bricker mingle with the best social circles of Greenwood township, and the children are growing in favor each day, and promise to become, in the near future, useful and valuable members of society.
