    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.

    Pioneering spirit

    Alene Jewitt

    Born: Dec. 17, 1919 in Waterloo
    Died: Aug.17, 2009 of stroke

    October 09, 2009 By Valerie Hill Record Staff

    Alene Jewitt was born of a pioneering Mennonite spirit so when she packed up the last suitcase at her family homestead in 1986, the sturdy little grey haired woman was saying goodbye to 180 years of Erb family history.

    "The farm was owned by her great grandfather since 1832," said son, Don Jewitt. "Her grandfather built the house."

    The Waterloo farm was one of the last of the original working farms in the German Company Tract, an area now filled with subdivisions though the original farmhouse received a last minute reprieve from the wrecking ball. Alene must have been delighted the old place would not be lost, a place that had been home to generations of Erbs.

    An only child, Alene's father died when she was only four years old forcing her mother to take charge of the prosperous 167 acre farm and as she matured, Alene would assist.

    Don explained "they were really unique, they weren't typical Mennonite women. They were very strong willed."
    The women contracted local hired men to do the heavy work and it wasn't until the war years that a more permanent solution arrived on the scene.

    Don said his mother often reminisced about the day she peaked out the window and spotted Howard Jewitt strolling toward the barn. There was something about the young man that caught her eye and her heart and she knew immediately, he would never leave the farm.

    Howard had been assigned to the farm as a conscientious objector, one of many young men who refused war duty because of their faith and were instead put to work often on farms.

    The couple married Aug. 30, 1947, raising four kids on the farm even as urbanization crept closer every year. Howard ran the farm while Alene engaged in countless volunteer activities, including historical research and membership in the Waterloo Historical Society.
    Armed with little more than a Grade 8 education - her grandmother's decision based on Mennonite tradition - Alene was always an avid learner and exhibited a real gift for writing. Over the years she crafted stories, created puppet shows, penned long letters and even wrote a play for the Pennsylvania German Historical Society.

    "She read a tremendous amount, she loved to read," said Don. As a child, Alene would squirrel away in her closet with a good book, hiding her light long after bedtime. "Her education became what she'd read," Don explained.

    Don and his sister Mary Weber, describe their mother as immensely talented, a woman who could do anything, from making puppets to sewing her own clothes and she taught home economics courses at the Women's Institute.
    "She did everything well," said Mary.

    Though she was not above criticizing a minister's sermon, Alene's church was important to her. "She had a very prominent voice in the church," said Don, noting his mother was the person everyone turned to for leadership. If she saw a problem, Alene would roll up her sleeves and fix it, even if it meant yet one more volunteer job.

    As a mother she was practical, always busy, kept a clean house and food on the table and according to Don "she was not your typical homemaker."
    Mary said "She didn't show her feelings, there was not a lot of hugging." Don added "she cared about what we did and was always involved." Alene also had an open door policy for neighourhood kids and was a patient, albeit critical listener.

    "If you had an opinion opposite of Mom's you had to have it well researched," said Don. If she couldn't support her side of the argument, Alene would ponder it a few days then offer a rebuttal.

    In 1967, during Canada's centennial year Alene put all her well honed debating skills to good use. In that year heritage farms across the country were being honoured with a centennial plaque but only if the farm was in the same family name. Alene was furious, challenging what she saw was a sexist attitude. She fought back and won, celebrating by hosting a farm fair at the old homestead. Less than 20 years later, life changed again.

    New subdivisions were gobbling up neighouring lands and it was finally time to sell, leaving behind a lifetime of memories.
    In a 1985 Record article, Alene explained how her sense of family and history sprang from the hours spent curled beside her bedridden grandmother listening to stories of the early days, when Aboriginal families lived in the nearby bush and the Grand Truck Railway first steamed through the county.

    If she was sad to leave this homestead, Alene kept those emotions to herself. She told the reporter she was "a country woman at heart" not comfortable with the city life springing up around her. "I'm ready to go," she said.

    Alene and Howard purchased a country property near Arthur. Howard died in 2001 and Alene lived on her own until February, when failing health forced her to move into a nursing home where she died, ending a unique era in Waterloo history.
