Notes:

McNally, "In 1795 a Mr. McNally with his wife and two sons left their paternal home in Britain and emigrated to America. They landed at Philadelphia and soon wended their way to Lancaster County where they had intended to settle, but immediately after their arrival in their new home the parents died, leaving two sons named William and Henry. William was born in 1791 and was married to a Miss Hefflefinger. They resided in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he was engaged in blacksmithing. To them were born several children who settled in different parts of Pennsylvania. Henry, the younger son, was born April 21st, 1794. In 1821 he was married to Sarah Kinzel who was born August 19th, 1800, and died April 4th, 1885. In spring 1824, Henry with wife and family bid adieu to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and moved to Canada. They settled at Binkley's (Mr. Binkley was uncle to Sarah Kinzel [Mrs. McNally].) below Dundas, Ontario, where he was working at his trade, wagon building. Here they resided temporarily until October of the same year, then moved north to Waterloo County, and settled within the vicinity of Preston where he carried on his business for a number of years. When well advanced in years he and his aged partner made their home with their son, Harry, where died July 11th 1864, leaving two sons"

Notes:

Rev. John McNally, "was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, March 7th, 1822. When he was two years of age his parents moved near Preston, Ontario, where he was raised. In 1844 he was married to Mary Ann Shoemaker. Soon after their marriage they moved a little north of Preston, on the farm now possessed by Noah Moyer. In spring, 1854, Mr. McNally purchased the old "Wendel Baumann Farm" about one mile south of Blair where he was engaged in farming for many years but now lives retired. When a young man he was converted unto the Lord and soon thereafter joined the New Mennonites (the Hoch party). In October 1852, he was ordained to the ministry of that body. Mr. McNally has so far faithfully served the church of his choice in the capacity of the ministry for more than forty years and very rarely was he absent (during these years) from the public duties of the Sabbath unless to assist a brother in preaching a funeral sermon or through sickness. His sermons, characterized by ability and well seasoned with the true spirit (love), are always well received and appreciated by his congregation which is strongly attached to him. May he be spared to continue his work for many years in the ingathering of souls for the Lord's kingdom. His family consisted of eleven children"

Bethany Missionary Church

A congregation of Reforming (or Reformed) Mennonites was organized at a meeting on May 15, 1874 by a group of church members who had been excommunicated from their former church. A conference at Bloomingdale on March 23, 1875 resulted in the union of Reforming (or Reformed) Mennonites and New Mennonites into a new group known as United Mennonites. In 1883, the congregation became a Mennonite Brethren in Christ Church and was to remain as such for the next sixty-four years. In November 1947 the General Conference held in Potsdam, Ohio approved a change of name to United Missionary Church. During meetings held from March 12 to 16, 1969 the former United Missionary Church and the former Missionary Church Association joined together to form The Missionary Church.

Early meetings of what would become known as Bethany Mennonite Church were held in homes until the summer of 1877 when a church was built on the present site on Lancaster Street East, at the future corner of that street and Chapel Street. The church was the twelfth one to be built in Berlin. Completion and dedication of the new church was in late December, 1877. Services were held in German in the beginning with English-language services being introduced in the 1880s. In 1900 a decision was made to have German-language services every other Sunday morning. A vestibule, new platform, and altar rail were added to the 1877 building in 1900, but it wasn't many years later that the need for a new and larger church became pressing. The old church was torn down in 1908 to make way for construction of a new one on the same site. Dedication Sunday was September 20, 1908. Of interest is the fact that a large tent, pitched at the back of the church property, was used for church services in the interim. The new church was known as the Berlin Congregation of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ. About this same time occasional references were made to the name of Bethany. A violent storm and high winds on the evening of November 29, 1919 caused the front part of the church roof to be lifted off. Major renovations to finish the basement and add a new heating system were made to the church in 1940, and in 1964 an Educational Wing was added.

The first pastor was Moses Weber. He was followed by Peter Geiger, John McNally and John Steckley. Pastor C.F. Krauth was minister in 1908 when the new red brick church was built. He was followed by Cyrus N. Good, Silas Cressman and Ephraim Sievenpiper.

Of interest: annual Camp Meetings were held by the congregation in Samuel Schneider's woods through the years 1887-1910.

REV. J. MCNALLY PASSED AWAY

One of Waterloo County's Pioneer Ministers Died in his 92nd Year

One of Waterloo County's oldest residents, and a pioneer minister. passed away Friday morning at his home in Berlin in the person of Rev. John McNally, sr., who had always been in good health, he suffered a general breakdown about three months ago and has been gradually sinking until the Grim Reaper summoned him this morning.

The deceased was in his 92nd year, having been born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, on March 7th, 1822. When he was two years of age his parents moved near Preston, where he was raised. In 1844 he was married to Mary Ann Shoemaker, daughter of Jacob S. Shoemaker, then of Bridgeport. Soon after their marriage they moved a little north of Preston, on the farm later owned by Noah Moyer. In the spring of 1854 Mr. MeNally purchased the old "Wendell Bauman Farm" about one mile south of Blair, where he was engaged in farming for many years, and resided there until about six years ago, when he moved to Berlin, taking up his residence on Krug street.

When a young man he became identified with the New Mennonite Brethren in Christ and was ordained as a minister in 1844. He preached on various circuits in Waterloo Townsitip for upwards of forty years and was probably the oldest ordained minister in the county. He had charge of the Bethany M. B. church for two different terms. He was an earnest preacher aul an ideal type of Christian manhood.

His family consisted of eleven children, seven of whom survive, four sons and three daughters, Jacob, at home, Isaac, Berlin; William, Brown City, Mich.; Sarah, at home; Mrs. Hiram Bowman, Berlin; Priscilla, at home. Three daughters and one son predeceased their father. Mrs McNally died about two years ago.

The burial of the late Rev. John McNally, the veteran Mennonite minister, who passed away last Thursday at the advanced age of 93 years, took place on Sunday afternoon from his residence, 17 Krug street, to the Bethany Mennonite Church. A very large crowd of sympathizing friends was in attendance. The pastor Rev. C. N. Good was in charge of the services at the house and the church and an impressive sermon was delivered by Rev. S. Goudie, P. E., who referred in feeling terms to the useful and successful career of the deceased. The remains were interred in the family plot at the Blair cemetery.

Business:
In the year 1859 the grist mill was sold to Henry Aaron Bechtel who in the year 1875 sold it to Henry McNally, Angus McNally, Oliver Clemens and Moses Eschelman. This group converted the building into a woollen mill, and operated it for many years. A number of years later the machinery was sold to a North Bay concern. This building is at present utilized as an ice house, owned by F. I. Willson.

Waterloo Historical Society 1941, 29th Annual Report

_____________________

The first milling venture included a saw mill and grist mill,* built on the Blair-Galt Road by Daniel and Jacob Erb. Erected in 1808, it is now used as an ice house by Ford Willson of Preston. In 1859 the property was sold to Henry Aaron Bechtel who lived on the farm now owned by Jim Johannes. Here stands one of the oldest houses in the district. According to a record in the masonry it was built by the Bechtels in 1817. In 1875 the mill was transferred to Henry McNally, Angus McNally, Oliver Clemens and Moses Eschelman. This group converted the building into a woollen mill and continued in business until the manager, Angus McNally, died in April, 1903. Following that, a North Bay concern bought the establishment, then' moved all the machinery away. As a boy the writer had the pleasure of working in that woollen mill. I shall never forget the water wheel which ran all the machinery. It had timbers like those in a barn, and the steel axle upon which it was built weighed one and one-half tons. Farmers brought their w'ool to the mill and bought blankets, cloth, yarn and batting.
