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.

__________________________

Heritage Awards presented to diverse group: Honouring a time of memories-
Alice Koch has been involved in many and varied activities during herlife - education, family, church, community and literary.


She was born Feb. 1, 1913, the d/o Menno and Amelia (Bergey) Nahrgang, and recently celebrated her 92nd birthday at her home on the farm on Haysville Road where she was born.

She attended Haysville Public School, SS No. 6 Wilmot, and passed her Entrance examinations at the age of 12, having completed the eight grades in 6 yrs. Her mother thought she was too young to attend high school, so kept her home for a year. For 3 yrs, starting in 1926, she attended New Hamburg Continuation School. Her fourth and last year she attended KW Collegiate, Kitchener and completed the required form five upper schoolclasses (Gr. 13) and middle school physics. Getting to the Collegiate meant walking the two miles to the train station, commuting on the regular passenger train with students from Shakespeare, New Hamburg and Baden. To return in the afternoon, she had to meet the train at 4 o'clock and ride the freight train with an old style passenger car. This was often a time-consuming ride since freight cars often had to be left atstops along the way.

Alice began attending Stratford Normal School in Sept. 1930 to prepare for a teaching career, her long time dream. (Her mother and grandfather,David Bergey had been teachers). She started teaching in 1931, first at Rosebank, SS8 Wilmot, for one year, and then for 8 yrs at Clachan, SS No.3 North Easthope. Both schools were one-room classrooms with 8 grades,and large enrollments varying from 40-50 pupils - no small challenge for a beginning teacher.

Family responsibilities would occupy the next several decades. On Aug.14, 1940 she married Lester Koch of Conestoga, a partner in Koch Brothers Butchers, in St. Jacobs and later Kitchener. On Dec. 31, 1942 they moved from the city house to the farm of her father. Life on the farm was busier than in the city, with a whole house, garden, lawn, flower beds,field work and chores. By 1956 there were 10 children as well as her father to manage (he lived until 1962 and died at the age of 95).

The education of her family was always a priority. She saw to it that each child was keeping up in school, and encouraged them to go on. It is a tribute to her that all ten of her children graduated from Waterloo-Oxford District Secondary School. Most of them have pursued post-secondary education, and some graduate degrees. They are involved in education, nursing, ministry, publishing, silo-building and other agri-business.

By the fall of 1962, all the children were attending school in public, high and university. This gave Alice time to devote to church andcommunity interests. She now was able to teach an adult Sunday School class at Biehn Mennonite church, which she continued to do until she was almost 90 yrs old, help with Summer Bible School at Blenheim Church, and attend sewing circle. She served on the Women's Missionary and Service Commission Executive Committee, including several years as president.Along with Lester she attended Haysville Home and School meetings, and later became involved with the KW Home and School organization, serving several years as president. With changes in education, Haysville Public School was closed and the building purchased by the community.

In April 1976, she began working at 50 Kent Ave., Kitchener, two days a week as supervisor of the Mennonite Cutting Room. It stocked fabrics for quilts and crafts for the MCC Relief Sale held annually in New Hamburg,and various items needed for MCC projects. She was an employee until 1996 and then a volunteer doing the same work as before, until she retired in Oct. 2001.
Piecing tops from an assortment of patches and quilting is a source of challenge and satisfaction that she still enjoys. Many have been given to the Mennonite Relief Sale. She also donated items to Conrad GrebelArchives and to the Archives at Castle Kilbride.

Alice also assisted in assembling family trees for her family. Her familly and friends appreciate her contribution to their lives. In 2002 she published for their benefit, a 75 page book, 'A Time for Memories'."

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.

Notes:

Baer - Edith was born near Breslau, Ont., April 2, 1912, and went home to be with her Lord from her father's residence, Kitchener, Ont., on June 7, 1943; aged 31 y. 2 m. 5 d. She leaves to mourn her departure her father and mother (Mr. and Mrs. Simon Baer), 3 brothers (Arthur, Ipperwash; Menasseh, Orillia; and Raymond, Kitchener), 4 sisters (Mrs. Omar Rudy, West Montrose; Mrs. Vernice Schmitt, London; Mrs. Ronald Snider, Waterloo; and Mrs. Mervin Weber, Kitchener), and a large number of relatives and friends. On July 12, 1925 she was baptized and received into the Mennonite church at Breslau. She was a faithful Christian, loyal to her Lord and her church. Among her greatest earthly pleasures was attendance at the regular services in the house of the Lord. She was afflicted with an incurable malady for 21 years, but accepted her lot in a true Christian way. She frequently expressed her desire that her departure might come quickly, and this wish the Lord graciously granted. Physician despaired of her life a number of times, but a kind heavenly Father allowed her the extra years to witness for Him. She will be greatly missed because of her cheerful disposition, her patient acceptance of painful disappointments, and her fine spirit of Christian courage which grew as her life on earth was prolonged. We may all see more clearly for having seen such a shining spiritual light. Funeral services were conducted on June 9 at the home of her sister, Mrs. Mervin Weber and at the First Mennonite Church. Interment in adjoining cemetery. The ministers were S.F. Coffman, Merle Shantz, and Oscar Burkholder. Text, I Peter 5: 10.
