Eight years later they moved to another farm in Wilmot Township, and six years later to her last home, two miles southwest of New Dundee. She was lifelong member of the Mennonite Church, in which service she took a keen interest. Her life has been a source of inspiration to us. Even in later years she took an interest in home duties and served her Lord with joy. We miss her, but heaven needs her.

Notes:

Habermehl. - Anna Shantz Habermehl was born in Waterloo Co., Ont., July 25, 1871; died July 29, 1917; aged 46 y. 4 d. She accepted Christ as her Savior early in life, joined the Mennonite Church and was an example of industry, sincerity, and humility that many would do well to follow. During the last few months of her life she suffered much from a complication of diseases, and here also as well as in health, she proved what a wonderful measure of grace the Savior can give, by bearing it all in perfect patience and resignation to the will of God. For a little over fourteen years she had lived in matrimony with Albert Habermehl, which union was blessed with 1 son and 5 daughters, who, with the sorrowing husband, 3 brothers, 3 sisters, an aged father, and the entire congregation with whom she worshiped for fourteen years, mourn the departure of one we all loved.

Yes, she has left this vale of tears,
To be with Christ who for her died,
With Him to spend the eternal years,
And praise Him with the glorified.

Funeral services July 31 at the house and St. Jacobs Mennonite Church by E. S. Bauman in German, followed by Bishop Jonas Snider in English. Interment at Conestoga Cemetery.

Notes:

Susannah (Shantz) Snyder was born Aug. 14, 1874. She united in holy matrimony with Urias Snyder of Waterloo, Ont., in 1898. This union was blest with one son. In 1904 she with her husband were converted and united with the Mennonite Church at Waterloo. She was of a quiet and unassuming disposition, and was always faithful to her Lord, till He called her home. Her departure was a shock to the community, as she was in ordinary health till the evening of Jan. 6, when she complained a little but not seriously, went to sleep, and next morning was found lifeless in bed, seemingly without a struggle. She died at her home near Waterloo, Jan. 7, in her 54th year; thus proving the frailty of man and the importance to be ready. She leaves her sorrowing husband, 1 son (Lorne) her aged father (Levi Shantz), 2 sisters, 2 brothers, and a host of friends. Funeral services were held at the Waterloo Church by Bro. Jonas Snider (Text, Amos 4: 12), assisted by Brethren Noah Hunsberger and Howard Stevanus. May the abiding Comforter be with the bereaved family.

_________________________

"Florence and Salina Shantz ran a model household on Stirling Avenue in Kitchener and operated a dress and bonnet-making business to maintain themselves. Their home was a place of warmth for family and friends. They generously shared their gifts to clothe the needy, but with a flare of independence.

Salina, the older of the two sisters, was born on April 11, 1886 to Wendel and Mary Ann (Shantz) Shantz. The family lived on a farm on Erb Street, east of Philipsburg and attended the Shantz Mennonite Church.

Salina's health was rather delicate; so she stayed at home while her sisters were employed in homes in the neighbourhood.

In the early 1920s Mother Shantz suffered a stroke. Salina and Florence cared for her during the fourteen months in which she was bedfast. The doctor praised them for their excellent care, telling them they could qualify for nurses' degrees. When their father died in 1927, Salina and Florence moved to Kitchener.

IN BUSINESS

During the first ten years in the city, the Shantz sisters lived in various three-room apartments, engaging in sewing as best they could in such small space. Those were also the depression years, and work and resources were hard to find. Finally, in 1937, they built their own house on 11 Stirling Avenue North, their back yard adjoining First Mennonite Church's parking lot. They planned a large hall with sitting room for clients who were waiting to be served. There was a sewing room besides their own living quarters.....

Notes:

"Two sisters, Florence and Salina Shantz, also saw entrepreneurial opportunities in Berlin. Florence's specialty was bonnet making, a difficult skill to master. Bonnets were not easily mass produced, and making them by hand provided Mennonite women with a cottage industry opportunity of they were adept. The sisters had first moved to Kitchener from a farm near Philipsburg after their parents died. While renting an apartment, they slowly built up their dressmakers' business. In 1937, they were able to build their own house at 11 Stirling Avenue North, and ran the business from there. Salina and Florence might be making bonnets one day, and fancy wedding dresses for non-Mennonites the next. Younger relatives describe the sisters' home: 'They kept an immaculate house. No time was wasted chatting on the telephone. The newspaper was not opened until the day's work was completed and the house set in order. In spite of this, the nieces and nephews loved to go totheir aunts' house. It gave them a warm feeling'."
