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.

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.

__________________

Elsie Cressman, a native of Wilmot Township, was a well-known pioneer in the development and practice of midwifery. Locally, she was a key person in the establishment of St. Jacob's Midwives.

Cressman's pioneering work in having midwifery accepted as a profession laid the groundwork for midwifery programs at several Canadian universities. In Ontario, McMaster, Ryerson and Laurentian Universities all now offer Bachelor of Science degrees in midwifery.

Internationally, Cressman was instrumental in establishing and running a number of heath clinics in East Africa. Elsie organized a leprosarium on the shore of Lake Victoria at Shirati, Tanzania where she is credited with integrating leprosy patients back into their communities. Later, she started what became known as the Tom Mboya Memorial Health Centre, Kenya.

Cressman was awarded the Order of Ontario in 1994 and Oktoberfest Woman of the Year - Lifetime Achievement in 2010.

Missionary Returns From Africa

Canada is the best place to live is the opinion of Miss Elsie Cressman, R.N., misionary-on-furlough from Tanzania, East Africa. Miss Cressman has arrived at the home of her father, Bishop Curtis C. Cressman after a five year stay in a Leporsariuim in Africa for a possible two year leave. She spent a month touring the countries of Egypt, Italy, France, The Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland, and was met at New York Port by her sister, Mrs. Gordon Bean and Mr. Bean.

While she finds her work interesting and worthwhile, as she has had most encouraging results, Miss Cressman also feels the need of a holiday rest. When in Africa she has contact with twenty dive tribes. With regard to climatic conditions it is only at mid-day that the heat is extreme where she was stationed, and she did not see any snow covered ground throughout her tour until she arrived in Canada. The only exception were the mountain tops in Switzerland.

Upon her arrival she was the guest of honor at a family gathering of approximately fifty people, Which was held at the Blenheim Mennonite Church. A Fellowship Turkey Dinner at which about 100 people attended was given for her at the Biehn Mennonite Church. She was also honored by a birthday supper at the home of her brother, Howard Cressman and Mrs. Cressman on Monday night.
