Notes:

Martin.-John, son of Menno and Nancy Martin, was born near Elmira, Ont., Jan. 6, 1896; died Sept. 18, 1926; aged 30 y. 8 m. 12 d. On Dec. 14, 1921, he was united in marriage to Ida Bauman who survives him. Thus he leaves a loving companion, 2 brothers, 5 sisters, and a wide circle of relatives and friends to mourn his early departure. He was an employee of the Elmira Public Utilities Commission since Oct. 1922, and it was while engaged at this work, that he accidently came in contact with a live wire, which caused his immediate death. Little did he think that perhaps when he climbed the pole to make a few adjustments that in a few moments he would be let down by a rope, as one who made the change in the twinkling of an eye. One hand was severely burned and also three fingers of the other hand. The sad news came as a heartfelt shock to those who knew him best. He was well known throughout the whole community, and was possessed with a cheery disposition, always ready with a kind word and a smile. He was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church and was very much interested in the work of the Lord. It was his earnest desire to be a bright and shining light in this world. Funeral services were held on Sept. 22 at the Elmira Mennonite Church, and at the Old Order Mennonite Church which was nearby. Both houses being filled to their capacity. Services were conducted by Bro. A. B. Gingerinch and Bro. O. D. Snider at the one church, while at the same time Bro. Moses Brubaker and Bro. Jess B. Martin conducted the services at the other church. Texts, Amos 4: 12; Jno. 11: 28; Jas. 4: 4.

Dynamite Fumes Kill Brothers At Well Bottom

Fumes from a dynamite blast set off during the morning took the lives of Enos and Israel M. Weber on Tuesday afternoon when they descended to work at the bottom of a 21-foot well on a cottage property at the Three Bridges.

Dr. Le Roy Wagner of Elmira, coroner who was called to the scene of the tragedy, said Wednesday morning that blood tests showed that....... poisoning.

The men, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Israel G. Weber of R.R. 2, Waterloo. were staying at the home of a brother. Amzy, while digging a well for a nearby summer cottage. They had set off a charge of dynamite during the morning and returned to the job about 1:00 p.m.

When they failed to show up for supper at 6:00 p.m.. a hired girl was sent to ask them to return. She discovered the bodies at the bottom of the well

Dr. Wagner said he was told the men had tried to clear the shaft of fumes by using an umbrella as an air scoop. The brother, Amzy had gone down to the bottom but had not stayed there long enough to be affected by the deadly gas.

Dr. Wagner pointed out that monoxide is invisible, odorless and tasteless and that great care must be taken whenever its presence is suspected.
