Wanner Mennonite Church
Begun: 1829

A small wooden meeting house was built in 1829 on a corner of the farm belonging to Samuel Bechtel which was located in the vicinity of the present-day regional headquarters of the Ministry of Natural Resources near the intersection of Highways 24 and 401. The site for this community meeting house, as well as a school and a burial ground, had been chosen on August 8, 1829. The land was donated by Samuel Bechtel and his wife Barbara (Baumann) on March 15, 1830. A new meeting house, of white brick, was built in 1837 on the east side of Henry Wanner's farm, somewhat north of the first meeting house. Meetings at first were held every eight weeks. The deed of land for the meeting house known as Wanner's was dated October 15, 1837. Early preachers were David Sherk, who had been ordained by Benjamin Eby in July 1837, Jacob Bretz, Jr., and Joseph Hagey.
Joseph Hagey was ordained bishop in 1851. During his time divisions occurred in the church by a surge of enthusiasm for a Methodist form of revivalism. Solomon Eby of Port Elgin, who announced his own conversion in December 1869, was leader of a group which believed that members could be converted through participation in revival meetings. John Baer of Wanner's became associated with Solomon Eby, and was compelled to leave the church in the spring of 1874, as were Eby and his other followers. The new church movement resulted in organization conferences which culminated in the conference on March 23, 1875 at Bloomingdale where New Mennonites and Reforming (or Reformed) Mennonites joined together as United Mennonites. The United Mennonites favored revival meetings, Sunday Schools and prayer meetings, and were opposed to the use of alcohol and tobacco.
The date of construction of the meeting house which replaced the one built in 1837 is somewhat in doubt. It is possible that a new building was erected in the early 1870s; it is also possible that the 1837 building only underwent extensive renovations at that time. There is no doubt, however, that a new brown brick church was built in 1938. An education wing was added in 1969.
The earliest Mennonite Sunday School in North America was begun in 1842 and was held jointly by the Wanner and Hagey Meeting Houses. It was discontinued after a short time because of a division of opinion within the congregations. An attempt was made later, in the mid-1860s, to begin another Sunday School, but this, too, did not last long. Many years later, on June 10, 1896, a meeting was held to organize a Sunday School. Anson Groh was appointed superintendent..

Biographical History of Waterloo Township

_____________________________

REV. AMOS BECHTEL, in addition to looking after the spiritual welfare of his fellows, is devoting much of his attention to tilling the soil in Harrison township, of which section he has been a resident for thirty years. He was born in Waterloo county, Canada, September 28, 1836, a son of Abraham and Elizabeth (Warner) Bechtel, the former of whom owes his nativity to Lancaster county, Penn., being a son of Jacob Bechtel, who was a native of that State also, but who became one of the early settlers of Canada. He reared eleven children: John, Henry, Jacob, Abraham, Isaac, Nancy, Elizabeth, Mary, Hannah, Catherine and Magdalana. Abraham was two years of age when taken to Canada, grew up, married and lived there, but in 1863 came to Elkhart county, Ind., and died in 1884, at which time he was eighty-seven years of age. He was a member of the German Baptist Church. His wife died in Canada in 1863.

Of the large family of sixteen children born to this worthy couple, twelve are still living: Mary, Nancy, Abraham, William, John, Jacob, Magdaline, Noah, Amos, Lydia, Isaac and David. They all grew up in Canada, but a number moved to the States. Rev. Amos Bechtel received his education in the district schools of Canada, and in his youth became inured to pioneer life, but his early struggles taught him self-reliance, energy and thrift.

On September 27, 1859, he was married to Miss Mary A. Funk, who was born in that section August 24, 1836, a daughter of Henry and Sarah (Sedcrist) Funk, the former of whom was of Buck's county, Penn. He was a son of John Funk, who removed from that State to Canada in an early day, but died in Michigan some years since. He was married twice, and his first wife was the mother of Mrs. Bechtel, whom she left an orphan at the age of nine years. She was one of five children: Mary A., John, Samuel, Hannah, and Sarah who died young. The second marriage resulted in the birth of five children also: Libbie, Henry, Margaret, Dennis and Stella. Mrs. Bechtel was reared in the woods of Canada, but about thirty years ago came to this country with her husband, and with this section they have been identified ever since. They are earnest members of the Brethren in Christ Church, in which he has been a minister for the past fourteen years. He is a zealous worker for the cause of Christianity and has been since he was thirty years of age. He worked by the day in Harrison Center upon first coming to this township, but in a few years succeeded in purchasing eighty acres of land, but since 1885 has owned his farm of ninety-three acres where he is now living. He is a successful farmer and stockraiser, and is one of the most prominent of the county's many worthy citizens.

They have reared eight children and lost two: Leah was born in Canada, March 9, 1860, and is the wife of John Stump, living in Union township, by whom she has six children: Clara, Charles, Harvey, Vernie, Oscar and Milton; Rachel was born in Canada, November 27, 1861, is the wife of Jacob Fulmer, of Concord township, and has four children: Maude, Walter, Saloma and Truman; Harriet was born in Canada, May 13, 1863, and died in Elkhart county, October 2, 1870; Lavina was born in this township, April 16, 1866, is the wife of John Kehr, of Harrison township, and has three children: Roscoe, Ray and Dora; Daniel was born April 15, 1869, and died August 29, 1875; Mary A., was born March 10, 1872, and is the wife of Samuel Troup, of Jackson township, and has one child: Ralph; Amos F. was born December 22, 1873; Dora was born March 12, 1876; Rufus was born April 20, 1878, and Alpha was born September 22, 1880.

Mr. and Mrs. Bechtel occupy a leading position among the citizens of their township, and are among the foremost in all good works. They are kind and charitable, generous in the use of their means in worthy causes, have been faithful and considerate in their family, and their children rise up and call them blessed. About fifteen years ago Mr. Bechtel met with quite a serious accident while felling timber in the woods, by the tree falling on his right leg, and since then he has been slightly crippled. He and his wife have cheerfully borne the burden and heat of the day, and are still ready to put their heart in the work that is found for them to do. They are a worthy couple in every respect, and possess numerous friends.

WHO BUILT THE GOVERNOR'S HOUSE
By Patricia Wagner

After the creation of Waterloo County on May 3, 1852, the province required construction of a court house and gaol (jail) to administer justice. Dr John Scott, the new county warden, advertised for submissions for the project. On June 4, county bylaw no. 2 awarded the jail contract to Mellish and Russell, architects in Brantford; the cost was not to exceed 4,875. The building reached completion by December 21, 1852. Apparently the firm designed no other localbuildings.

By the early 1860s, the wooden walls around the jail yard had given way to a stone wall 14 feet high. The stone came from farmers' fields.
Crowded quarters and the need for repairs led the county property committee to advertise in January 1878 for tenders for alterations to the jail. By June, the county accepted a tender from Henry Braun, a local builder, for $5,225 and named David W. Gingerich to supervise the work in return for five percent of the fee. Alterations were complete by December. This addition was the jailer's residence, or Governor's House.

David Gingerich was the great-grandson of Abraham Gingerich and Barbara Hunsicker (or Huntsicker), who came from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1801 and settled on Beasley's Lower Block 5W, Waterloo Township. David married Catherine Hoffman, and they had four children: Allan, Richard, Phoebe, and Albert. He had an office in Waterloo. There has been no research on his life, but his architectural legacy is impressive.

David Gingerich signed a petition in 1888 to erect a new Waterloo Township Hall. He designed the old Waterloo City Hall; the former Dominion Life building on Erb Street, Waterloo; the New Hamburg Public School (1874--1958); and Castle Kilbride in Baden in 1877--78. In Elmira, the building committee of Gale Presbyterian Church in 1885 accepted Hiram Walker's tender to construct the place of worship. Gingerich appeared before the committee at the last moment and presented new plans and specifications, which represented minor changes, and the committee adopted them. The structure opened on October 18, 1868.

Gingerich had a close relationship with the tanner Louis Breithaupt in neighbouring Berlin (Kitchener). When fire destroyed the Breithaupt Tannery on Adam Street in December 1870, the two men sat down at Breithaupt's kitchen table to make plans for its replacement. Gingerich designed two houses in Berlin where Louis and his eldest child lived: Louis Breithaupt and Catharine Hailer's Waldeck (c. 1870 - now demolished), at 166 Adam Street, and Louis Jacob Breithaupt and Emma Devitt's Sonneck (1874), at 108 Queen Street North.

The County Court House was demolished in 1964, and the jail (the oldest county building still standing in the Region of Waterloo) and Governor's House closed formally in 1978. In May 1981, Kitchener designated the buildings' exteriors under the Ontario Heritage Act. The structures stood empty until the Region of Waterloo in 1999 approved redevelopment of them as a millennium project.
More historical research might uncover Gingerich's contributions to the region's built heritage. The author and her colleagues in the Friends of the Governor's House and Gaol would be happy to receive additional information about Gingerich, especially about the buildings that he designed and built.

The Friends' major project has been the Waterloo County Gaol Garden (a millennium project), which landscape architect Wendy Shearer designed. Visitors are welcome. The Governor's House and Gaol has been a feature of Doors Open since that annual event began. Be sure to visit it on September 15.

OLD WATERLOO COUNTY PIONEER PASSES AWAY

An old pioneer of Waterloo County passed away on June 18th at the home of his son-in-law, Isaigh S. Eby of near Stevensville, in the person of Solomon Gingrich at the advanced age of 90 years, three months and one day. On July 4, 1926, he had a slight stroke from which he soon recovered. On May 29th of this year he had a second stroke and was confined to his bed although able to sit up, his mind remaining very clear. On Sunday, June 17th, however, he suffered a third stroke when he lapsed into unconsciousness which continued to the end.

The funeral was held from his late home on Wednesday, June 20th, and was conducted by Eld. Jesse D. Winger, Ridgeway, assisted by Eld. Warren Winger, Ridgeway, and Bishop John Sider, Wainfleet. Then at 6.10 a.m. Thursday, after a short prayer by Bishop Bert Sherk, Stevensville, his remains were taken to the home of his son, Oliver, in Hespeler, where a short service was held at 2 p.m. of the same day, conducted by Rev. Mr. Merner, pastor of the United Church, Hespeler, thence to the Union Church, Puslinch Township, which he had always attended, the funeral there being conducted by Bishop Bert Sherk of Stevensville, assisted by Eld. Simeon Çober, Kitchener, and Eld. Nathaniel Wildfong. Hespeler. His remains were laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery by the side of his wife and parents.

All his children except one were in attendance at the funeral; also four grandchildren and one great grandchild. His daughter, Mrs. Winger, and her granddaughter, Miss Muriel Zoreb of Saskatchewan, arrived just a few hours before the funeral. He was carried to rest by five nephews and one grand nephew, Oliver, Arthur and Alfred Panabaker of Hespeler, Vernon Cober, Kitchener, Amos Hunsberger, Hanover, and Rev. Charles Hommuth, Elm- wood.

The late Mr. Gingrich was a son of Michael Gingrich and Mary Warnner, long deceased. He was born March 17th, 1838, on the Gingrich homestead, near Preston, which his grandfather, David Gingrich, received from the Crown. The farm is now owned by Orville Groh.

On March 1st, 1864, he was married to Anna Cober of near Hespeler. To this union were born three sons and six daughters, Cyrus of Stevensville, Oliver, Hespeler, and Aaron, died young, Mrs. Isaiah S. Eby, Mrs. Andrew Sider, Misses Mary Ann and Nancy of Stevensville, Mrs. Levi B. Winger, Ridgeway, Ont., and Mrs. Abraham Winger, Deisle, Sask. He also leaves fifteen grandchildren and nine great grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Magdelina Hunsberger, Hanover. Ont.. and a host of nephews, nieces, relatives and friends. The grandchildren reside at widely separated points, six living in Ontario, two in New York, two in California, two are missionaries in Rhodesia, one in Pennsylvania, one in Saskatchewan, and one lies 'neath the sod in Saskatchewan.

In 1867 he was converted and united with the Tunker church, of which he remained a faithful member to the end. In 1881 he was elected to the office of deacon.

In 1911 his wife passed away. In 1916 he sold the old homestead and on his seventy-ninth birthday moved to Stevensville to the home
of his daughter, with whom he spent the remainder of his life. He at all times had a remarkable memory and a clear mind and was highly regarded by a large acquaintanceship.

Rudy.-Lydia Horst, wife of Christian Rudy, was born Mar. 17, 1838; died Sept. 19, 1917; aged 72 y. 6 m. 2 d. Early in life she united with the Mennonite Church and remained faithful to the end. She lived in Waterloo Co., Ont., up to about 7 years ago, when she went to visit her daughter, Mrs. Moses Sauder in Pennsylvania. While there she took sick and spent nearly all of the seven years in bed, but death has at last relieved her of all earth's cares and pains. The remains were brought back home where very impressive sermons were preached Sept. 22, at St. Jacob's Mennonite Church, Waterloo Co., Ont., by Noah Hunsberger in English, from Psa. 115.16, and Jonas Snider in German from Psa. 39.4.
