    Notes:

    Isaac Groh, "the second youngest son of John and Susannah (Wanner) Groh, was born on the farm on which he now resides, situated a little more than a mile south-west of Hespeler, March 14th, 1829. He is the possessor of over 200 acres of land. Upwards of nearly half a century Mr. Groh's name has been connected with those whose object is to elevate and advance the cause of their fellow citizens. During the years 1877-78 he served the municipality of Waterloo Township as councilor. In 1879 he was first deputy reeve, and for the years 1880-83 he was reeve for the township. At the close of the year 1883 he, not wishing to be re-elected, retired from taking any interest in municipal matters. By the request and urging of his numerous friends, he again allowed himself to be elected as reeve for the township for the year 1889, at the close of which he again retired. He is still quite healthy and active, and could, if required, give a strong helping hand in managing municipal matters pertaining to the township. In politics he advocates the principles of the Reform party. On May 9th, 1848, he was married to Mary, daughter of Tobias and Catharine (Stryker) Wanner. She was born November 10th, 1828. They have had a family of eleven children"

    Isaac Groh, Reeve of the Township of Waterloo, was born on the farm where he now resides, in the south-eastern portion of the township, fifty-two years ago. His ancestors were among the pioneers of the township, the family first coming hither from Pennsylvania in 1804, since which date they have been closely identified with the material affairs of this part of Waterloo, and of the community in general. Mr. Isaac Groh's entire life has been spent amid the scenes which now surround him, where, since attaining to man's estate, he has held a place of prominence among those whose efforts have been directed to the furtherance of local interests. He has served five years in the township Council, during the past two of which he has occupied the Reeve's chair.

    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..

    Groh.-Anson Groh was born April 17, 1859; died May 9, 1944, at his home near Preston, Ont., in which community he was born and had farmed till near the close of his life. He suffered a slight stroke about three and one-half years ago, and was in failing health since that time, though usually able to be up and about the home till the past January. He grew gradually weaker and passed quietly away without severe suffering. Although his mental powers faded as strength declined, he remained calm and conscious to the end. On March 7, 1882, he was united in marriage to Lovina Bechtel, who departed this life in August 1932. Eleven children were born to this union. One daughter died in 1914 at the age of eighteen. Surviving are 4 daughters (Mabel, and Esther at home; Ida, Mrs. Menno Snyder, near Kitchener; Bertha, Mrs. D. W. Lehman, Orrville, Ohio), 6 sons (Herbert, Ottawa; Melvin, Preston; Norman, Beamsville; Oscar, Detroit, Mich.; Ivan, St. Catharines; Harold, Toronto), 31 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, and 4 brothers. He and his wife were interested in spiritual things. Before his conversion he was instrumental in helping to organize a Sunday school at the Hagey Church in order that his growing family might have Sunday-school privileges. Soon after J. S. Coffman came to Waterloo County, he and his wife gladly accepted salvation and united with the Wanner Mennonite Church, in which fellowship he remained till death. After helping at the Hagey Sunday School for a number of years, he turned his attention to the establishing of a Sunday school at the weaker Wanner church, where he served as superintendent and later as teacher for many years. He was a well-known speaker at Sunday-school conferences in the early days, and was a speaker at the first Sunday convention in Indiana. He served on the Mission Board of Ontario, and it was largely through his efforts that the Ontario Board of Mennonite Finance was organized. He was also largely used as a lecturer on agriculture and forestry by the Ontario Department of Agriculture. For some years he gave himself to the development of Farmer's Co-operation, while his last major task was the building and management of a Municipal telephone system. These responsibilities were relinquished one by one as age crept on, but he was devoted to his farm as long as he was able to get around. Funeral services were conducted by Bros. J. W. Witmer and B. B. Shantz at the Wanner Church, and the body was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery to await the resurrection.

    Run Over By Street Car

    Berlin, Ont., March 28 - After having crossed the Preston & Berlin Street Railway bridge at Freeport a young woman was knocked down and fatally injured by a P. & B. car leaving this city at 10.05 last night. The crew stopped the car, and the injured girl was conveyed to the home of Herman Hertel, jun., where she succumbed an hour later without regaining consciousness. Dr. A. Ochs, Preston, was attending the victim when death took place. It was not until this afternoon that the remains were recognized as those of Miss Loretta Shantz, the daughter of Daniel Shantz, a farmer on the Preston road, near Berlin. She had been engaged as a domestic at the farm of Lincoln Hagey, a farmer on the Breslau and Preston road, and had left Berlin in the evening. After doing some shopping she had walked to within a few yards of the road leading to her home when run over by the car. Deceased was twenty-two years of age.

    Notes:

    Snyder.-Clifford Anson, son of Menno and Ida (Groh) Snyder, Kitchener, Ont., was born Oct. 24, 1914; passed away April 10, 1947; aged 32 y. 4 m. 17 d. His death, caused by a cerebral hemorrhage, occurred aboard ship en route to Argentine, where he and his family were going to serve on the mission field. Early in life he became a Christian, was baptized on Dec. 20, 1925, and soon prepared for Christian work. He served as a Sunday-school teacher and later as superintendent of the intermediate department, and was active in young people's activities. After his regular school course he graduated from the Ontario Mennonite Bible School; took post-graduate work; graduated from Toronto Bible College; took two years' work at Goshen College, and graduated from there in 1946. On June 26, 1943 he was married to Doris Swartzentruber, who survives. Also surviving are 2 children (Margaret Anne and Arnold), his parents, 4 sisters, and 2 brothers. On Aug. 20, 1944 he was ordained to the ministry, and from February to October, 1946 he served at the Mexican Mission in Chicago. While waiting to sail, he assisted at the First Mennonite Church in Kitchener. He was a consistent Christian, thoughtful, and deeply spiritual with a fine co-operative spirit. He worked well with both old and young. His early passing does not stop the onward march of his works, for "their works shall follow them." The example and witness that he gave remain; his enthusiasm still kindles other fires. Memorial services were held at the Kitchener Church, April 27, with Roy Koch, J. B. Martin, J. D. Graber, John Kehl, Merle Shantz, and C. F. Derstine taking part. The sermon, "Divinely Directed Life Is Not Abbreviated!" was based on John 11: 8-11. His body was buried at sea, near the equator.
