Martin. - Henry M. Martin died at the home of his son-in-law, Ephraim Betzner, near Conestoga, Ont., Dec. 12, 1915. He enjoyed good health until last June, when he underwent a serious operation from which he fully recovered. About a month ago he took a cold and was failing since. A complication of diseases set in later which turned into Bright's disease, from which he died at the ripe old age of 72 y. and 25 d. He united with the Mennonite Church in his youth and has ever since been a faithful member. He left a bright example of blessed assurance and talked calmly of that change, anxious to meet his loved ones gone before and to be with Christ. He was married to Nancy Lichty who preceded him to the great beyond about a year and a half ago. To this union were born 3 daughters. Two died in infancy. Only one daughter, Selina, the wife of Ephraim Betzner, and one grandson (one grandson died in 1911) and one brother, David M. Martin, are left to mourn. Burial Dec. 14 at Snyder's Cemetery. Services by Enoch Bauman and Abraham Gingerich. However painful it may be to know that father is gone, the thought is sweet that we may see him in that heavenly home. His daughter.

HALLMAN. - Catharine (Shantz) Hallman died Dec. 1, 1905, aged 63y., 2m. She was the wife of Jacob Hallman, who still survives. Beside her husband she leaves three children and eight grandchildren. A week or two before death came she wished to have the family gathered back to the old home and remarked that she thought it was the last time they would be together here. She was a member of the Mennonite church for many years and a faithful Christian to the end. For years she was a patient sufferer and we now praise God for the good evidence and the bright hope that she is now free forever from all suffering. The children and one grandchild are in the service of Christ. Pray for the husband that he may heed the loud call to keep the commandments of the Lord. A large congregation assembled at the funeral services which were held Dec. 5 at the Latschar church, near Mannheim, Waterloo Co., Ont., where Noah Stauffer and A. D. Wenger spoke from II Cor. 4: 17-5: 1.

Shantz, Elven (1893-1984)

Elven Shantz (1893-1984) was the son of Menno and Susannah (Bowman) Shantz. He was born in Breslau, ON. In 1920 he married Mabel Weber, a sister of Urias K. Weber , then minister at Eby's Mennonite Church (later known as First Mennonite Church in Kitchener). Elven and Mabel Shantz returned from homesteading in Saskatchewan and joined the Stirling Avenue Mennonite Church , Kitchener, in 1929. Shantz became an active lay leader in that congregation. He was always considered a "liberal" Mennonite but had a great rapport with all Mennonites.

He served as secretary of the Military Problems Committee of the Conference of Historic Peace Churches , 1943-64. Shantz organized the Ontario unit of Mennonite Disaster Service in 1958 and was interim secretary of Mennonite Central Committee Ontario in the 1960s.
As a result of these activities, his farm background, his ability to speak the Pennsylvania German dialect and his fine rapport with the Old Order, Amish , and Conservative Mennonites, Shantz was asked to be their spokesman to government in their requests for exemption from government health insurance, Family Allowance, Old Age Security, Workmen's Compensation, and the Canada Pension Plan, and in gaining recognition of their right to establish private Christian schools. Shantz was active in the founding of Conrad Grebel College in 1961, the Mennonite Historical Society of Ontario, and the Ontario Mennonite relief sale in 1966. The members of many branches of Mennonites who attended and participated at his funeral attested to his commitment and service to Mennonite unity.

Roseville Mennonite Church (Detweiler Meeting House)

Services began in homes in the area with the arrival of the first settlers around 1822. A first meeting house was built about 1830 approximately a half-mile west of Roseville, on the south side of the road. One acre of land on the northeast corner of Lot 37, Concession 11, North Dumfries Township, was transferred from Samuel C. Snyder. The deed for the property was dated 1830, but it was not registered until August 1842. A stone meeting house was built in 1855 just slightly east of the old log meeting house; the church was dedicated on November 25, 1855 by the congregation's first minister, Jacob F. Detweiler. Henry Shantz, Enoch Detweiler and Solomon Gehman were the ministers who followed Jacob F. Detweiler.

Sunday School began in 1924 and in 1933 Young People's Bible Meetings were organized. The latter meetings were held in conjunction with those of the Blenheim Mennonite Church. A Sunday School classroom was added to the Detweiler church in 1956.

Moses Bowman, a layman from First Mennonite Church in Kitchener, was ordained minister to Detweiler Mennonite Church in 1938 where he continued to serve until the time of his death in 1964. The small congregation was served by visiting ministers until it disbanded in January 1966. Some of the remaining families are reported to have joined with Blenheim Mennonite Church at that time.
