Sister Snyder was a faithful and active member of the Mennonite Church at Breslau, the greater part of her life. She was well known for her kindness to those in need, and was intensely interested in the spiritual welfare of those that she befriended. But her interest in the Lord's cause was not confined to her home community alone. Many are the testimonies that might be given by those who came from other parts of the United States and Canada, who not only enjoyed her hospitality, but were also encouraged to be faithful in the Master's work. Funeral services were conducted at the house by Bro. J. S. Woolner, and at the church by Bros. Jonas Snyder and Oscar Burkholder.

Notes:

The funeral of the late Jonathan Cressman, who died at Trout Brook, N. Y., was to have taken place from his father's residence on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, but owing to the train being blocked by the snow storm on Friday his father, Mr. Menno Cressman, did not arrive at Paris station until half past three on Sunday morning and had to hire a livery to drive to Wilmot, so that the funeral did not take place until Monday morning at Geiger's churchyard near Wilmot Centre. We sympathize with the relations of the young man who has been taken off in his prime far away from home and friends.

Lovina Cressman

Lovina Snyder, daughter of Bro. Absalom and Sister Elizabeth (Cressman) Snyder of Breslau, Ont., was born June 8, 1864; was married to Bro. Moses S. Cressman, Sept. 20, 1882. To this union were born three sons and two daughters. The surviving children, her husband, parents, brother and large circle of relatives and friends mourn not as those who have no hope, for Sister Cressman united with the church in her early youth and was a faithful member until she was called home, on the 1st of October, 1906, at the age of 42 Y., 3 M., 23 D. Her remains were laid to rest on the 3d in the graveyard adjoining the Cressman M. H., Breslau, where services were conducted by Bish. Jonas Snider of Waterloo from Rev. 14: 13 and by Pre. I. A. Wambold from Phil. 1: 21. The esteem in which Sister Cressman was held was shown by the unusually large concourse that gathered at her burial, not nearly all of the people being able to get into the meeting-house. Sister Cressman suffered for some time of dropsical affection, but seemed to be improving until suddenly she became worse and soon passed away. May God bless our bereaved brother and his children, as well as the parents, brother and the other relatives.

Snyder.-Ozias, son of Absalom C. and Elizabeth (Cressman) Snyder, was born at Breslau, Ont., Nov. 13, 1866; died at his home in Breslau July 8, 1930; aged 63 y. 7 m. 25 d. Jan. 29, 1890, he was married to Anna Betzner of Breslau, who died in 1893. This union was blessed with two daughters, Elenora and a child who died in infancy. Sept. 15, 1897, he was married to Barbara S. Burkholder of Markham, who died in 1908. To this union were born a son (Elvin) and 3 daughters (Ada, Edith, and Katie Florence who died in infancy). Feb. 19, 1911, he was married to Matilda Snyder of New Dundee, who died in 1925. He is survived by a son (Elvin, missionary in Argentina), 3 daughters (Mrs. Enoch Bauman, Mrs. Abner Rudy, and Ada at home), 2 grandchildren, and many relatives and friends. He united with the Church in May, 1891. His quiet, consistent example, as a brother and Sunday school teacher, was appreciated by the loved ones and many friends. While the family felt keenly the absence at the funeral of Bro. Elvin and his wife in South America, they were somewhat comforted to know he had received the message announcing his father's death and were able to have word again from Elvin on the day of the funeral, the cablegram reading as follows: "Deeply grieved to hear the sad news. Accept sincere sympathy. We condole with you in our mutual and great loss. See word of comfort in II Tim. 1: 10. We continually remember you in our prayers." Funeral services were conducted at the home by Bro. Newton S. Weber, followed by Bro. S. F. Coffman. Bro. Weber spoke briefly at the church on Dan. 12: 3, after which Bro. Jonas Snider preached the funeral sermon. Text, I Cor. 15: 54. Remains laid to rest in cemetery adjoining Breslau Church, where the services were held.

"Another sheaf of gold the angels garnered in,
Another soul with Christ doth rest fore'er from grief and sin,
Another beckoning hand to call His loved ones home,
Another life in memory lies-through deeds of love well done."

Cressman.--Howard Cressman was born near New Hamburg, Ont., April 10, 1897; died where he was born on March 12, 1927; aged 29 y 11 m. 2 d. In Dec., 1924, he was united in marriage with Sister Ida Snyder, Hespeler, Ont., to which union was born one son. Just one week previous to his death he was taken seriously ill with pleuro-pneumonia and God saw best to take him home. During his illness he suffered severely and continuously, but he bore it all much patience and Christian fortitude. At the age of 14 he accepted Christ as his personal Savior, united with the Mennonite Church, and remained a faithful member to the end. In his untimely departure he leaves a sorrowing companion, one son (Keith), father, mother, two brothers (Leander and Curtis), besides a host of relatives and friends. In the home he will be greatly missed as an affectionate companion and a loving father. In the Church his service and counsel can no longer be personally given, but we bow to our heavenly Father, and from our heart's desire to say, "Thy will be done." Funeral services were held Mar. 14, from his late home to the Bean Church, and burial in the adjoining cemetery. Brethren Ozias Cressman, Manasseh Hallman, Moses Shantz, and Oscar Burkholder conducted the services. Text, Rev. 13: 14.

Notes:

Bauman.- Eleanor, daughter of Ozias and Lydia Ann Snyder, was born near Breslau, Ont., July 6, 1891; died on her 25th wedding anniversary, after a lingering illness, in the Turner Private Hospital, Elmire, Ont.; aged 51 y. 7 m. 14 d. She spent most of her life on the Snyder farm,, and only six months ago moved with her family to Elmira. In the year 1905 she confessed Christ as her Savior and united with the Cressman Mennonite Church. Feb. 20, 1918, she was united in marriage to Enoch Bauman, who, with 1 daughter (Erma Fern) , 1 son (Robert Lee), 2 sisters (Edith, Mrs. Abner Rady, New Hamburg, Ont.; Ada, Markham, Ont.), 1 brother (Elvin, missionary in the Argentine, S.A.) and many other relatives and friends mourn her untimely departure. Sister Bauman was a Christian of sterling character. She belonged to the rapidly declining group of Christians who not only kept steady and true in the faith, but make substantial progress in it as well. She was loyal to the doctrines of the Church, both by practice and testimony, and as far as she was able, never withheld her hand to help the work of the Church of her choice. She proved her worth as a Christian mother by her constant concern for the oncoming generation. We have every reason to believe she is at rest, with her loved ones gone on before, awaiting the glorious resurrection of the righteous, when our Lord comes back for his own. Funeral services Feb. 24 were conducted in the Elmira Funeral Home by Bro. Oliver D. Snider, and in the Cressman Mennonite Church by Bro. Oscar Burkholder. Text, II Tim. 2: 11 - 13, 19.

MISS LYDIA CRESSMAN

Elmira - April 8 An Elmira woman who served overseas as a war nurse with the United States Army was one of nine victims in last night's bus accident in Seattle, Wash., it was learned today.

Relatives of Miss Lydia Cressman, Reg. N., were informed by telephone early this morning that she had been killed. The bus in which Miss Cressman was riding collided with an oil truck and plunged into a shall river on the outskirts of Seattle. Born in Elmira in 1905, Miss Cressman was the daughter of David Cressman and the late Leah Martin. Her father and stepmother were informed of the tragedy about 3 a.m. by a roommate of their daughter. After graduating from the Elmira schools, Miss Cressman did some practical nursing in the district for some time. In 1927 she left for the United States and worked for a time in hospitals in Quakertown and Souderton, Pa. Five years later she went to Philadelphia where she completed her training as a nurse while jointly concluding studies which would graduate her from high school.

She attained both goals, being graduated from nursing school and high school studies in the same year. When the United States became involved in the war, Miss Cressman joined the nursing service, and was in the first convoy to leave the United States with assault troops for the North African invasion in the fall of 1942. During her overseas service she served for 18 months in Egypt. She had been taking a postgraduate course in Seattle when she was killed. Miss Cressman last visited her home here in September of 1945.

Besides her father she is survived by two brothers, Enos of Stratford and Elam of Elmira; and three sisters, Saloma of Montreal, Annie, who is a missionary in Liberia, and Mrs. Mahlon Shantz of Breslau. The body is being returned here for burial, but funeral arrangements have not yet been completed.

WITH CHRIST Annie Cressman

Annie Cressman, affectionately known as "Ma" to the Liberians she loved, went to be with the Lord Monday, December 2, 1991.

Annie was born February 22, 1913 in the Mennonite community of Elmira, Ontario. As a young girl she felt God's call to missions, and overcoming many difficulties, she sailed for Liberia in 1940 where she served seven four-year terms (1940-1978).

In the early days when there were no roads, she undertook many jungle treks to preach the gospel. Annioe was a great communicator and saw the need to get the scriptures in the language of the people. First she reduced the Tchien language to writing and produced a primer for the day school she began. Later she translated portions of the New Testament in the Tchien language. Another major project was the Simple English New Testament under the auspices of the United Bible Society. Annie, always practical, also wrote simple booklets on the doctrines of the church for use by national pastors. Liberians and missionaries of all denominations held Annie in highest esteem.

After returning to Canada, Annie was active in missions promotion, in her home church at Elmira and as chaplain to the Chateau Gardens Nursing Home.

Funeral services were held Thursday, December 5 in Elmira Pentecostal Church led by Pastor Ronald Baker. Following Mennonite tradition Annie was laid to rest at a private ceremony preceding the memorial service in the church. Rev. James MacKnight, General Superintendent of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada brought the message pointing out that Annie will be greeted by many of her Liberian friends who lost their lives in the recent civil unrest. Rev. Gerald Cressman, Annie's nephew, brought the eulogy. Tributes by Rev. William Cornelius, Rev. Carman Lynn, Rev. Larry Broughton, Rev. William Morrow and representatives of the Elmira Ministerial and the Chateau Garden Nursing Home all pointed to a life of dedication that began when a young girl from Elmira said, "God, if you will make me a missionary, I will go."
