THE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE

An interesting meeting took place the Saturday before last in the old log cabin in Waterloo Park.

This house was, of course, the first schoolhouse in this area and stood originally on the school-house square at the corner of King and Church Streets in Waterloo. It was built in 1820 and served its purpose until 1842, when it was torn down and a 1-storey stone house was constructed on the site. The dismantled log house was erected again in Greenbush and served as a residence for a long time for the coloured man, Mr. Carroll and his family. In the course of this year, the Waterloo Park Commissioners purchased the house, moved it to their park and furnished it again as it was when it was a school-house.

At this gathering, in addition to many other ladies and gentlemen, the following (male and female) former pupils attended, took their places on the benches, and were called to order by the 82-year-old teacher, Benjamin Burkholder, who held the scepter, or rather, the switch, from 1831 to 1842 in the old log-house: Joel Guth, 80 years old; Abraham Scherk, Blair, 79; Jakob Bricker, Waterloo, 77; Sarah Burkholder, nee Erb, Bridgeport, 75; Amos Weber, Berlin, 73; John C, Bricker, Hawksville, 71; Maria Erb, nee Quickfall, Norwich 69; David B. Eby, Waterloo, 69; Wendel Baumann, Woolwich, 68; Henry Stauffer, Erbsville, 67; Simon Beatty, Elmira, 67; Jakob Ratz, New Hamburg, 67; Israel Baumann, Berlin, 65; George Elbert, Moorefield, 63; George H. Baumann, Elmira, 63; John Devitt, Waterloo, 62; Richard Quickfall, Bridgeport, 62; Isaak Hoffmann, Waterloo, 61; Robert Barkwell, Peel, 60; Diana McMahon, nee Dekay, Berlin, 60; Thomas Quickfall, Floradale, 60; Benjamin Devitt, Waterloo, 60; Isaak Devitt, Floradale, 58; John Longmann, Peel, 57. In addition, to these, the teacher read the names of 25 pupils from the roll; they were, however, absent.

Mr. Burkholder gave an interesting talk about the history of the old school-house, and after him, Rev. J.A. MacLachlan, Rev. J. McNair, Mr. J.E. Baumann, M.P., and Mr. Jakob Ratz spoke about the old days which brought many things out of the past to mind again. School was, as a rule, only in session in winter and the costs were borne by the parents of the children. There were few subjects taught, namely: Reading, Writing and Sums. The children heard little about language, and geography; no child had more than 2 or 3 books. The predominant language was German. The pupils learned to read and write English, but didn't understand a word of it. Among the teachers in the old school-house from 1820-1842, with the exception of Mr. Burkholder, were the following whose names are still recognized: Jephtha DeKay, Joseph Guth, John Herringer, Peter Otto, John Dobbin, Elias Eby, Robert Barber, & Joseph Eby.

After those present, on hearing the various speeches felt themselves transported back to the past, the school was closed at four o'clock and the pupils were gathered together in front of the school and photographed as a group. On their return into the school, they found it had been transformed into a dining room with heavily-laden tables, which the old-timers thoroughly enjoyed. After everyone had chatted cordially for a while longer, the gathering broke up. The company will not meet again in complete numbers, nor in such a way.

JOHN BRICKER SNIDER

The Sniders are a numerous and important family in Waterloo County. The ancestor of many of them was Christian Schneider, who was born in Pennsylvania 1758 and died in Waterloo County 1850. He came from Pennsylvania in 1806, settled, and built the fine timber house still standing near the village of Doon. One generation further back we find the progenitor Jacob Schneider, born in the Palatinate, who came to Pennsylvania as a boy. With Christian Schneider from Pennsylvania came his son Jacob C. Snider, born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, 1791, who married in 1812 and shortly after took a farm a little west of what became the town of Waterloo, later acquired the Waterloo grist mill, had also a sawmill and a distillery, and lived in the village, his house being on the site of the present Waterloo town hall. One of his younger sons, Jacob C. Snider, Jr., was born in 1822, married Nancy Bricker, resided later in St. Jacobs where he had the mill, and lost his life in the Desjardins canal disaster, near Hamilton, March 12th., 1857.

The subject of our sketch, the second son of Jacob C. Snider, Jr., was born in Waterloo, August 22nd., 1840, and died there October 5th., 1917. At the time of his father's tragic death he was at the Rockwood Academy, then a school of wide and deserved reputation. His grandfather took charge of the mill in St. Jacobs, but young John left school and for a few years was employed in the store of Bemis and Chalmers in St. Jacobs. On removal of the family to Waterloo he became accountant in the mill, formerly owned by his grandfather but then by Moyer, Ralph and Company, where he remained for a number of years.

About 1864 he became the partner of the late John Shuh in a general store and was in this business for over thirty years. He sold his interest in the store about twenty years ago and purchased the manufacturing plant of the Graybill Manufacturing Company, which he carried on successfully till 1916 when he disposed of his interest to the Snyder Desk Co. His retirement marked the completion of over fifty years of trading and manufacturing activity, during the latter part of which he carried on 'the manufacturing of office, school and church furniture, which business developed to large proportions under his direction.

Mr. Snider was a member of the Methodist church in Waterloo. In politics he was a Liberal. He never took prominent part in public affairs. While of a retiring disposition he was a man of energy and enterprise, and of integrity of character.

John B. Snider married Susannah E. Moyer, August 7th., 1860. Mrs. Snider and four daughters survive.

Bricker.--Elias W. Bricker was born April 28, 1853, at Hawksville, Ont.; moved to Aldersyde, Alta., in 1891; died in his home in East Calgary, Alta.; aged 85 y. 8 m. 16 d. He spent the last 20 years in Calgary. He gave his heart to God early in life and was faithful to the end, living a consistent and useful life. He spent the last few years of his life distributing tracts and religious literature. He always enjoyed conversing on things of God, ready always to lend a helping hand whenever opportunity afforded it. He was one of the charter members of the Mount View Mennonite congregation near Aldersyde. The last year of his life being mostly confined to his home, he expressed himself ready and anxious to go. Three daughters and 1 son preceded him in death (Martha, Mary, Clara, and Aaron). He leaves his beloved wife and daughter (Esther), 4 sons (Harvey and Archibald of Calgary, Edgar of Aldersyde, and John Henry of Arizona), 1 brother (Menno of Blackie, Alta.), 1 brother and sister of Elmira, Ont., and a large number of relatives and friends to mourn his departure.

Bricker: Mennonite pioneer and church builder of the Mount View Mennonite Church near High River, was born 28 April 1853 at Hawksville, Ontario, and died in Calgary on 13 January 1939. He married Catharina Snyder (3 October 1854-19 February 1944) in 1874. They were the parents of five sons and four daughters.

The Brickers were among the first Mennonite settlers in what became the province of Alberta. Elias and his father first came west from Ontario on a homesteader's excursion sponsored by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1889. The family moved in 1891, establishing their farmstead near the line of a new railway being built from Calgary south to Fort MacLeod, between Okotoks and High River. Other prospective Mennonite pioneers soon followed.

The Brickers were eager to see new Mennonite congregations organized among the new settlers. With Elias Bricker's encouragement, the Mennonite Conference of Ontario sent S. F. Coffman west in 1901. Coffman lived with the Brickers when meeting with the settlers in the High River area, and the Brickers became charter members and wholehearted supporters of the Mount View Mennonite Church when it was organized late in 1901.

Elias Bricker also served as one of the early local postmasters, but moved to Calgary in 1918. There he became active in distributing tracts and religious literature to the homes of Calgary residents, trying to contact every household in the city at least once.

During the last years of his life Elias Bricker suffered much as a result of ill health, and was mostly confined to his home. He died at the age of 85 years and is remembered as a pioneer homesteader/farmer and as a church builder and supporter.

______________________________

The sad intelligence of the death of Miss Clara Bricker on Monday last of typhoid pneumonia cast a pall over the town and among the people of Norma, where the young lady was well known, the news came as a shock. About a fortnight ago the deceased was stricken with typhoid pneumonia and from the outset the case was considered serious but it was fondly hoped that she would rally. She suffered greatly and on Monday at 1 o'clock her spirit passed beyond the shadows. The deceased was a bright young lady and had a large circle of admiring friends who sincerely mourn the departure of a good friend and companion. A sad circumstance in connection with her untimely and is the fact that arrangements had been made complete for her marriage in June next to Mr. Luther Hicks of this town, who is grief stricken at the loss of his affianced. She was the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Bricker of Norma, and was in her 26^th year. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, from the home of Mr. Dewey to Mount Pleasant Cemetery and was followed to the grave by a large concourse of people, who paid the last respects to the dead. The sympathy of the people generally is extended to the bereaved parents and relatives in their sore bereavement

Notes:

The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. John Bricker, near Elmira, will be grieved to hear that their only son, Jonathan Roy, a child of about four years of age, died last Thursday night. The little lad had been suffering from an abscess on the throat and had been treated by a doctor who lanced the abscess from the outside and left the patient apparently recovering rapidly. During the night, however, the parents were aroused by a struggle the child made for breath. He was apparently choking. Mr. Bricker hastened for the doctor, but before the latter arrived life had flown. It is thought that the abscess burst internally and filled the windpipe so that suffocation ensued. The sudden demise was the more shocking since it was thought all danger was over.

CALLED AFTER SHORT ILLNESS

ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE PREVALENT DISEASE, PNUEMONIA

There passed away last Friday at the home of her parents on Centre street, Clara B. Weber, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Weber. The deceased was born at the former home of the family on the 4^th concession of Peel township, where she lived with her parents until their removal to Elmira about two years ago. Though she was of a quiet retiring disposition, she took an active part in the work of the Presbyterian church at Hollen, serving as secretary-treasurer of the Ladies' Aid and of the Mission Band, also a Sunday School teacher for a number of years. When she came to Elmira, she also identified herself with the work of the Presbyterian church and taught a Sunday school class. In all her work, she won the love and respect of those with whom she came in contact and will be greatly missed by all, especially by her parents, who are now left childless, she and a brother who died in infancy having been the only children. Though Miss Weber had not been feeling well for almost a month, she took seriously ill only about a week before her death. Pneumonia is a particularly severe form was the cause of her death. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon and was attended by a large number of relatives and friends among whom were some from Galt, Kitchener, Milverton, Waterloo, St. Jacobs, Conestogo, Listowel, Glennallan, Hawkesville, Hollen and Guelph. Rev. W. H. Bartlett conducted the services. The pallbearers were Menno Miller, Art Bricker, Allan Weber, Ion Weber, Clarence Shuh and Wellington Weber.

Gingrich. - Moses M., son of Elias and Annie (Martin) Gingrich, was born in Iowa, Dec. 30, 1889; died near Elmira, Ont., Oct. 29, 1934; aged 44 y. 9.m. 29 d. When 22 years of age, he left Iowa and came to Ontario, where he joined the Mennonite Church. June 30, 1914, he was married to Lovina, daughter of Samuel K. and Magdalena Brubaker. To this union were born six children. Two died in infancy. There remain, his beloved companion, 4 daughters (Elvina, Magdalena, Salena, and Edna), his aged parents who live in Pennsylvania, 4 brothers and 2 sisters -- Sidney, Leah (Mrs. Jacob Brubaker), Lovina (Mrs. Elam Martin), Elias, and John of Pennsylvania; and Menno of Alberta, also an uncle, 2 aunts, and many cousins and other relatives. He was a kind husband and father, well liked in the community. He was ailing for over a year, so that he could not do much work. He consulted several doctors, but it seemed they could not do much for him. Later they took X-ray pictures and found he had enlargement of the heart, Bright's disease, and cancer of the stomach. He grew weaker as time passed. About the first of October he took his bed, and the last four weeks failed rapidly. He bore his affliction patiently, never complaining. His desire was to go to Jesus. It was hard to part, but God's ways are not our ways. The funeral was held Nov. 1 -- brief services at the house conducted by Jesse Bauman, with further services at the Mennonite Church near Elmira by Jesse Bauman and Urias Martin. Texts, Phil. 1 and I Cor. 1: 18. Burial in adjoining cemetery.
