Other Events:

• Name: Sarah Woolner
• Eby ID Number: 000136-8353.1
• Epidemic: 1832, Bridgeport (Kitchener), Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada; Cholera

Notes:

North of the village of Bridgeport, on the corner of two adjoining farms, lie, the bodies of cholera victims. Mr. Wilfred Roedding of Bridgeport in 1966, can remember seeing at least 2 large crosses and 4 or 5 small crosses. The people buried here are: Mrs. Isaac Woolner (Sara Hembling) born Jul 11 1797 died July 8, 1832. One Woolner child June 29, 1832, Noah Hembling (brother of Sarah), Noah Hembling's wife Hannah, their daughter Mary Hembling 1825-1832.

These people are buried in the corner lots ot two farms, the Dilman Moyer farm and the farm of John Brubacher, later Roedding and 1965 Angus Snyder farmer, now sold for development and the property of the present Brubaker farm. The house of the Dilman Moyer was across the road, and the barn where the Oswald Mink Farm is. Mr. Wilfred Roedding remembers (1966) seeing wooden crosses in 1905, and the date on the crosses was nearly faded, but could make out he the date of 1832. Dilman Moyer sold the farm to Pomeroy, J. B. In 1906 and moved Disbury, Alberta. He remembers 2 larges crosses and possibly 4 or 5 small crosses. The mounds of the graves could still be seen in -1940 and possibly there are still a few mounds today (1966)

Breslau (Cressman) Mennonite Church

Services were begun in Breslau in 1815. In 1834, Benjamin Eby's log meeting house, which had been built in Berlin in 1813, was moved to Breslau to the Cressman farm. Preaching services which were held every four weeks began in the reconstructed meeting house in 1837. A new brick church was built in 1856, at which time the old log meeting house was moved to Frederick Schaefer's brickyard. The old building may have been used for storage or an office until approximately 1880 when it was clad with white "Breslau Brick" from the brickyard, and used as a home by Frederick Schaefer and his family. The address of the house is reported to have been 18 Woolwich Street; it was still standing in 1985, according to Alder 1985, with the original log walls possibly preserved within the brick ones.

A summer Sunday School was begun in June of 1872. It was held in the Breslau schoolhouse until 1877 when it was moved to the church. Sunday School continued on in the summers only until 1889 when Sunday School classes began to be held all year.

The 1856 white brick church was taken down in March 1908, and was replaced with a new white brick church. In 1968 the name of the church was changed from Cressman Mennonite Church to Breslau Mennonite Church. Major renovations were made to the church in the same year. It is of interest to know that land amounting to approximately three acres was deeded to the congregation by Christian C. Snyder in three parcels, in 1837, 1859, and 1870.

Joseph Hagey, the first minister at Cressman's, was ordained on February 10, 1839. He was ordained bishop in 1851. Ministers who followed him in serving the church at Breslau were Jacob Woolner Sr., Elias Weber, Isaac A. Wambold, Jacob S. Woolner, and Oscar Burkholder. Services were held every four weeks from 1837-1867, and bi-weekly from 1867-1894 when weekly services were begun

WARD WOOLNER MD

Ward Woolner, born in Waterloo Township, practiced medicine in Ayr and surrounding townships for more than sixty years, serving three generations of many families. He graduated in medicine from the University of Toronto in 1903, and started his practice in 1904.

He promoted the Public Health Nurse service for Ayr and North and South Dumfries schools, one of the first of such services in rural areas.

He was a school trustee in Ayr, an elder in Knox United Church, an office holder in the Masonic Order, and served on many citizens' projects.

DOCTOR WARD WOOLNER

By F. E. Page
First Vice-President, Waterloo Historical Society

Doctor Ward Woolner of Ayr was born near the City of Kitchener seventy-five years ago. One is inclined to say that he is seventy-five years young rather than seventy-five years old. He is still a practicing physician, keen, active with many interests both in and outside his profession.
In February, 1954, he was honoured at a banquet at the Iroquois Hotel in Galt, when he was the guest of the Councils of North Dumfries Township and of the Village of Ayr. The occasion marked the retirement of the doctor as Medical Health Officer, a position he held in the township for thirty years and in Ayr for twenty-five years. A presentation was made at this time.

Dr. Woolner has been honoured by the Medical Profession by having been elected to high offices in the Province of Ontario: President of the Ontario Medical Association, (1930-31), President of Ontario Public Health Officers Association, (1932-33), and President of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, (1950- 51). He is the only doctor in Ontario who has held all three of these offices.

After graduating in medicine at the University of Toronto, Dr. Woolner spent some time in his practice on the Indian Reserve, Brantford, and in the Town of Collingwood. Fifty years ago he commenced his practice in Ayr and has continued ever since.

Dr. Woolner has been a member of the Waterloo Historical Society since 1925 and was elected vice-president of that body in 1946. At present he is a local representative for the Village of Ayr. The Historical Society joins with the doctor's many friends in the county in congratulations and sincere good wishes for Dr. and Mrs. Woolner. "Lang May Their Lum Reek."

Dr. Woolner is justly proud of his English, Irish and Scottish ancestory and those who know him best are aware that he possesses many of the best qualities of the three races.

On December 8 he was honoured at a "Doctor Woolner Night" at the Ayr Arena Auditorium when fellow physicians gathered from various parts of the province. The auditorium was filled with friends from all over the district and many parts of the county. The Rev. W. D. Goodger of the United Church was chairman. After the leaders of various organizations with which the doctor had been associated and a number of visiting physicians had spoken, Dr. Clarence Routley of Toronto, President of the Canadian Medical Association, gave the main address of the evening.

The guest was then presented with an illuminated scroll by Dr. Duff Wilson of Ayr. Mrs. Woolner was presented with a bouquet of roses by Miss Patsy Reid. Dr. Woolner made a suitable reply.

GEORGE ALVIN WOOLNER

The death took place at the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday a. m, of Mr. Geo. Alvin Woolner, second son of Solomon and Pauline Woolner of Kitchener. He suffered an affection of the kidneys, for which he underwent several operations, but finally succumbed to the disease.

The late Mr. Woolner was born in a Kossuth, Waterloo Tp., on Dec. 10th, 1890, being in his 27th year. The family removed to Kitchener when he was about four years old and in his 18th year he united with the Trinity Methodist Church under the pastorate of Rev. S. E. Marshall. About four years ago he went to Prince Albert, Sask., but returned owing to ill-health. The deceased was a fine type of Canadian manhood, a great favorite and a patient, cheerful sufferer. The bereaved family have the sympathy of a wide circle of relatives and friends in their great loss. He is survived by his parents and two brothers in the war, John E. Woolner being "Some where in France," and Ephraim, at Militia Headquarters at Ottawa. It was a great grief to George that he was not able to go himself and take his place by their side.

The funeral took place on Fri day, Aug. 10th, at 2 o'clock p.m. from the home. 145 Elgin street, and at 2.30 p.m. at the East End Mennonite church and was conducted by his pastor, Rev. Charles A. Sykes, B.D., assisted by Rev. W.K. Weber, pastor of the Mennonite church.
