Notes:

"believe that Moses B Brubacher was the child of Susannah Brubacher and an unknown father (presumably named Jacob). In 1857 Susannah was 20 years old and unmarried. Unfortunately no other record seems to exist to prove this connection (likely because of the illegitimacy of Moses' birth) although in 1851 a Jacob Simon was living close to the Brubachers and was 3 years younger than Susannah."

Sudden Death of Aged St. Jacobs Woman - The many friends and relatives of the late Susannah Gingrich, wife of Mr. David Ernst, of St. Jacobs were shocked to hear of her sudden death on Monday evening. On Monday morning the deceased accompanied by her husband, left on the 10 o'clock train to visit friends in Elmira and vicinity. Spending the day with her stepsons in Elmira, they drove out in the evening to the home of Mr. Jonas Martin, above Elmira. Soon after their arrival, Mrs. Ernst was taken suddenly ill and passed peacefully away about nine o'clock. Having suffered a few years ago from a stroke, the deceased had never been very strong since. Previous to their coming to St. Jacobs, they resided for a number of years in Glenallan and neighborhood. About two years ago, when their son-in-law, Mr. Eli Brubacher, purchased the Brubacher home on King St., the aged couple came to live with their daughter. The deceased was a very intelligent person, who with her kind and pleasing disposition won many friends throughout this county, where she was born and brought up, and was blessed by five children - Noah Martin, near St. Jacobs, Rev. Jesse Martin, near Breslau (children with the first husband, Peter Martin), David Ernst, Glenallan, Lovina (Mrs. Eli Brubacher), and Barbara in Michigan. There were also 8 brothers and sisters, Bishop Gingrich, Upper Woolwich; Rev. Jacob Gingrich, near Preston; John, Grand Rapids; Israel, St. Jacobs; Menno, near St. Jacobs, Isaac, near Floradale; Lydia (Mrs. Mose Weber) and Miss Nancy Gingrich, near Conestogo. Mr. N.W. Gingrich of this place is a first cousin. The aged husband and children who are left to mourn the loss of a kind helpmate and living mother, have the heartfelt sympathy of their friends in their sad and sudden bereavement. The funeral will take place today, from the residence of Mr. Eli Brubacher to the Conestogo Riker Road Mennonite Church for service and burial.

Preston (Bechtel or Hagey) Mennonite Church

The second meeting house in Waterloo County was built, probably in 1814, by John Erb, a wealthy miller of Preston. This brick meeting house served as a community church and was located "near Jacob Hagey's", which was on the road running from the top of the Kress Hill west and "adjoining the Kitchener Highway" (Witmer 1967: 26). Another meeting house, known as the Union Meeting House, was built in the area around 1824. A meeting was held in the Union church on November 20, 1824 to commence recording the accounts of the congregation in Hagey's Deacon Book. The deed of land for the Union Meeting House and burial ground, which was for one acre of part Lot 22, Beasley's Broken Front, was transacted in 1835.

Hagey Meeting House was buiilt of red brick in 1842 on part Lot 23, just north of Preston on the west side of the Breslau Road, and slightly north of the Union Meeting House site. The deed, dated February 2, 1842, recorded the purchase of the land from John Hilborn and stressed that the property was to be for "the purpose of public worship by the Mennonist Society" (Witmer 1967: 28). Joseph Bechtel was the first minister in the area, from 1804-1837; he was followed by David Sherk (1838-1843). Next came Joseph Hagey (1844-1877), who was ordained bishop in 1851, and then Jacob B. Gingrich from 1878 to 1901. Services were held every four weeks until 1890 when bi-weekly services were begun. A Sunday School was established in 1842 with the congregation of Wanner Meeting House near Hespeler, but it was discontinued because of a difference of opinion regarding the need for Sunday Schools. On April 26, 1891 a Sunday School was organized at Hagey's, with deacon Abraham Oberholtzer as superintendent. Five years later, on June 10, 1896, a Sunday School was organized at the Wanner church.

Major changes were made to the church building in 1927-1928 when the basement was excavated, new windows were installed and the roof was raised two feet. Fire on January 15, 1950 caused extensive damage to the interior and furnishings of the church. The building was completely renovated and also enlarged at the same time; dedication was on July 2, 1950. Another fire, on Feburary 19, 1953, completely destroyed the church. A congregational decision was made to build a new church, on Concession Road in Preston, and the cornerstone was laid on Thanksgiving Day, October 12, 1953. Official dedication services in the new Preston Mennonite Church were held on May 16, 1954. The building was enlarged in the summer of 1989.

The John B. Gingrich Account Book By Jim de Waal Malefyt

The John B. Gingrich "Account Book" was started in March of 1883 by John B. Gingrich when he lived in Floradale in Woolwich Township, Waterloo County, Ontario. John was a blacksmith and was married to Mary Ann Hembling, daughter of deacon William Hembling. The account book has been handed down in this Gingrich family for several generations and was copied by the author in 1996. The book (20 cm x 32 cm) contains numbered pages of his business accounts with about 110 of his clients written in script at the top of each page. Names of his clients are listed below for reference to those interested in what their ancestors may have bought or had repaired at the blacksmith shop of John Gingrich in the late 1800s. A copy of the John B. Gingrich Account Book is on file at the Kitchener Public Library.

The business entries in this account book span a ten-year period from 1883 to 1893. Dates are located on the left side of the page. The middle contains the item John worked on or made or the barter item received. The last two columns on the left of each page contain the amount of credit, "Cr," or the cost of his service drawn, "Dr," from the account. Blacksmith items John worked on commonly included making, sharpening or repairing farm implements and attachments to horses such as shoes, "waggon tyres," harness rings, "wiffletrees,"1 harrow, sleigh, buggy, neckyoke, chains, and clevises2. Home and farm implements he made or repaired included sugar pan, hinges, meat hooks, chimney irons, shoe scraper, fork handle, thistle cutter and stove lids. In exchange for his services, John often accepted or bought wood, butter, apples, eggs, beef, oats, wheat, barley, pigs, or he accepted labor for threshing, digging potatoes, butchering or hauling manure.

Interspersed in the account book are some pages of interest to the genealogist. Page 155 contains John Gingrich's time-line from his birth on July 24, 1847 until 1883. Somewhat overlapping is another time-line on page 77 from his marriage on January 19, 1869, until his stroke in 1908. The births and marriages of John's and Mary's children are listed on pages 156 and 158 respectively. The family register of John's father-in-law, deacon William Hembling, is given on pages 112-113 and a short biography about how William Hembling was orphaned by the 1831 cholera epidemic and adopted by Isaac C. Shantz near Berlin.

John B. Gingrich was born on July 24, 1847 near Waterloo, Ontario, most likely in Woolwich Township, Waterloo County, to John H. Gingrich and Anna Burkhart. John became a blacksmith and kept a business ledger in which he also wrote family events and dates. John wrote that he went to school at age four in 1851 and finished school in 1863 at age 15. Starting in April of 1864 he worked on the farm and then was bound out as a blacksmith apprentice in November. In 1865 he read the entire Bible and joined the Mennonite Church on August 5 at age 18. In 1866 he was baptized in the Mennonite Church, probably by bishop Joseph Hagey. In 1867 he was a blacksmith in Preston and in November he worked in North Woolwich. In 1868 he worked on deacon William Hembling's sleigh and made an acquaintance with the deacon's daughter, Mary Hembling. Mary Ann Hembling was born July 17, 1851 near Waterloo, Ontario, the daughter of deacon William Hembling and Mary Dirstein. Mary was the eighth of twelve children. She was baptized in 1868 by bishop Abraham W. Martin. On January 19, 1869, John B. Gingrich married Mary Ann Hembling. After John and Mary were married they moved into David Brubacher's house on February 2, 1869 and John worked for David that year. On January 6, 1870 John moved to Floradale near the Grand River. In 1871 John was recorded in the Waterloo County Census of Ontario as being a 23 year-old blacksmith, a Mennonite and of German origin. Ten years later in 1881, he built a new blacksmith's shop. In 1883 John joined the Temperance People and the Mennonite Brethren Church (MBC). This was the year he recorded his blacksmith accounts in the subject account book. The following year in 1884 he moved to Sand Hills. Nine years later, on January 19, 1893, John moved to Berlin, now Kitchener. During this time, John and Mary had ten children: Isaiah, Noah, William, John, Josiah, Jesse, David, Mary Ann, Edwin (died in infancy), and Anna (died in infancy). Many of the sons used the middle initial of "H," possibly for the "H" in Hembling, their mother's last name.

On August 1, 1899, John B. Gingrich moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan where his oldest son, Isaiah, had moved in 1891. Evidently, John moved to Grand Rapids and rented a house at 89 North Pine Street, not too far from his son Isaiah's house at 326 First Street. Mary stayed behind and had to be persuaded by an interesting letter from John that he cared deeply for her and wanted her to come and take the train to Grand Rapids.

From page 77 of the account book, we learn that John continued working at various factories in Grand Rapids until his "stroke of paralysis" at age 60 in January of 1908. On June 29, 1904 John Gingrich had gone back to Canada to bury the former deacon William Hembling. William Hembling had moved to Grand Rapids to be with his daughter and son-in-law and died there of paralysis and old age on June 27, 1904 at age 85. His remains were taken by train and he was buried in the Elmira Mennonite Cemetery, Woolwich Township. The costs of his funeral were listed on page 152 of the account book.

After his stroke, John Gingrich continued to earn income by becoming a "soap dealer." Pages 161 through 182 for the years 1909 through 1918 list the companies John bought supplies from for the business he operated out of his home on North Pine Street. He sold such items as Bonney Fleur perfume, laxative tabules, healing salve, vanishing cream, Red Rose toilet water, witch hazel cream and S.V. Soap.

John B. Gingrich died at the age of 72 on October 29, 1919 of kidney failure and was buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mary (Hembling) Gingrich died November 1, 1928 in Grand Rapids from a fractured hip and hardening of the arteries, at the age of 77. She also was buried by Rauschenberger in Greenwood Cemetery.

The John B. Gingrich "Account Book" provides us with a decade of information about the economic interactions which took place between a Mennonite blacksmith and many others who lived in Waterloo County in the late 1800s. These interactions between a blacksmith and his community of relatives and neighbours tell us of the tools, implements and services he provided, and the ways in which debts were settled. It provides us and their descendants with a rare glimpse of how they conducted business in the last century with the "village blacksmith

Gingrich.-Bishop Abraham B. Gingrich passed away peacefully at the home of his son near Baden, Ont., after a few days' illness due to a paralytic stroke; aged 81 y. 10 m. 27 d. On Sept. 9, 1877, he was married to Lydia Shantz. This union was blessed with 10 children, his wife and 2 children having predeceased him (Israel who died in infancy, and Lucinda, Mrs. Addison Snider, Elmira). These children survive: Cyrus, Ira, Addison, Irwin, and Mrs. Abram Snider, all of Guernsey, Sask.; Abram, Bridgeport; Angus, near Baden; Ida (Mrs. Henry Knoll), Elmira. Bro. Gingrich was ordained to the ministry at Floradale, Ont., Nov. 15, 1896, serving in that capacity for about ten years, when the call came for a bishop. He was ordained and served faithfully as long as he was mentally able. He left many landmarks and especially the German sermons which we all enjoyed so much. The funeral was held from the Drisinger funeral home, Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 23, with further services at the Elmira Mennonite Church. Bro. O. D. Snider preached from a prayerfully chosen text, Matt. 25: 21, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." Bro. Jonas Snider of Waterloo also took part in the service. Burial in the adjoining cemetery.

"The days were hard, for he was feeble and old,
And longed to rest in the Shepherd's fold;
So God in mercy extended His hand,
To welcome this traveler to a better land."

FLORADALE
Another of the old residents of this neighborhood passed away last Saturday in the person of Daniel B Bowman. Deceased had several paralytic strokes, the last of which, about a year and a half ago, left him helpless and his mind practically a blank, so that he had to be tended like an infant. He was of the old Mennonite stock, plain, honest, upright, and industrious. He leaves, to mourn his departure, his widow, one daughter (Mrs. Samuel Horst residing near West Montrose) and four sons. These are: - Noah, living in Preston; Levi, on the old homestead; Enos, of Ayton: and Addison, of Niagara Falls, N.Y. Besides these several brothers and sisters and a large number of relatives survive him. The funeral on Tuesday was one of the largest ever witnessed in the neighborhood. We extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy.

__________________

Peter B. Bowman

Last week death removed, from this district, one of the best known and most highly respected personages in our rural life, Mr. Peter Bowman, who lived at Floradale.

Mr. Bowman was raised on a farm between St. Jacobs and Heidelberg, and when yet a young man he removed to a farm a short distance north of Floradale where he lived until several years ago when he retired to a smaller place just south of that village. Mr. Bowman was a model type of that sturdy, honourable and well-meaning class of people to whom this district owes much of its progress and stability. As a friend and neighbor he was steadfast and obliging. As a citizen, his character was unimpeachable. As a husband and father, he was kind and affectionate, and as a Christian, he endeavored to live up to his professions. He was straightforward, modest, honourable and trustworthy. As a consequence, he was respected by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. For many years he was elder of the Old Mennonite Church. He was noted for his liberal views and tolerant disposition.

His death leaves a vacancy in his sphere of action difficult to fill. Deceased has, for several years, been failing in health and suffered a slight paralytic stroke a considerable time before his death. Though generally able to be about, he could perform his duties only with difficulty being subject to weakness mentally and bodily. It was, therefore, not surprising to his friends to hear that he had been suddenly taken away by heart failure. Deceased had reached the age of 71 years, 4 months and 13 days.

He leaves to mourn their loss an aged widow, three sons and four daughters, namely: Joshua, of Alberta; Mrs. Norman F. Martin, of Wallenstein; Jonas, of Alberta; Mrs. David F. Martin, of Wallenstein; Miss Esther, at home; Mrs. Aaron Martin, of Woolwich, and Peter, at home.

Notes:

"believe that Moses B Brubacher was the child of Susannah Brubacher and an unknown father (presumably named Jacob). In 1857 Susannah was 20 years old and unmarried. Unfortunately no other record seems to exist to prove this connection (likely because of the illegitimacy of Moses' birth) although in 1851 a Jacob Simon was living close to the Brubachers and was 3 years younger than Susannah."
