    Ida Frey Martin Bauman 1900 - 1952

    As president of the Floradale sewing circle during World War II, Ida watched for sales of suitable material to make clothing for relief. She also began buying in bulk, because that was cheaper. She then sold this material to other women in the area. Thus the idea of the "Cutting Room" was born, and Ida nurtured it through its early years.

    Change and Tragedy

    Ida was born on November 21, 1900, the first child of Jacob and Christian (Bauman) Frey. Since Jacob was not a robust man, the family moved to Elmira at a time when few Mennonites lived in town. Illness and death stalked the family at every turn. Ida was a sickly child and, as a result, attended school very little. Several children did not survive infancy. More difficult, however, were the deaths of 16-year-old Lydia, a boy by drowning, and another child and their father who both died of tuberculosis within a week of each other. The Frey family was Old Order Mennonite. In 1921 Ida married John Martin, also from the Old Order community. In 1924 the conference congregation built a new meetinghouse in Elmira, and regularly held revival meetings. In the spring of 1926 John and Ida attended the revival meetings held by C. F. Derstine, experienced conversion, and subsequently joined the Elmira Mennonite Church. In the fall of the same year, John was fatally electrocuted. Ida did not receive much consolation from their families who considered the accident as punishment for their apostacy. Ida suffered a great deal of insomnia after the death of her husband. She began writing poetry during the sleepless hours of the night. In later years, people frequently came to talk to her in times of grief. Having passed through the valley of the shadow of death herself, they knew she would understand their loneliness and grief. In 1929 Ida married Emanuel Bauman, a widower with three teenage children. They lived on the western outskirts of Floradale, and eventually transferred their membership from the Elmira Mennonite congregation to Floradale. After her marriage to Emanuel, Ida gave birth to two daughters.

    Service in the Church and Community

    The church and her activities were very special to Ida. Although she did not have much formal schooling, she read and wrote well. Her daughters remember that she spent much time preparing her lessons. In Sunday school she taught the older women, but she also taught children at summer Bible school. She was often asked to write obituaries and essays. The essays were the women's contribution to the Sunday evening services. The sewing circle was a very important avenue of service for Ida. During the war years she was president of the group at Floradale. Carol and Gladys remember that during the busiest time, their parents would put the sewing machine in the back of the car and take it to church - sometimes twice a week. Ida purchased suitable material at sales in Elmira, Waterloo and Kitchener. She would buy two or three thousand dollars worth and resell it to neighbouring circles. Buying in quantity was cheaper as well. Ida was also involved in large-scale relief canning. Ida was on the Ontario District executive at this time, and her efforts finally resulted in the opening of the cutting room. As a member of the cutting room committee, she placed orders through a store in Floradale and continued to do this until her illness no longer permitted her to leave the house. The Ontario Sewing Circles purchased a cutting machine in 1942 so they could supply the women with pre-cut garments. At that time Mrs. Amos Gingerich made a room available in her house to serve as a cutting room, and Barbara Eby operated the cutting machine. This gave the women more time to sew rather than spending it on cutting, and also helped to regulate the styles and types of garments. Ida's work on the sewing circle committee at Floradale was not only a means of getting a great deal of work done at the time of much need, but served as a model for the younger women. Leah Brubacher recalls Ida's encouragement when Leah was a young mother and not always able to attend sewing circle. Ida assured her that the day would come when the children were no longer at home and then there would be plenty of time to devote to sewing circle, and so it was! To Leah, Ida was a good example, and she followed in her footsteps. Carol described her mother as "not a well person but very strong." She had several major illnesses, but they seemed to leave her strengthened. Her last one was cancer, which caused her premature death on May 26, 1952. With the work of the cutting room so dear to her heart, she instructed her daughters to give a sizeable portion of her estate to that fledgling institution; She had also told her daughters not to mourn too long as she felt she had done after the death of her first husband. Life goes on, and Ida's life goes on in the lives of those she touched.

    Richard James Cressman

    Richard Cressman died on Monday November 23rd in New Hamburg, Ontario at the age of 67. He struggled with mental health for half his life and that struggle became too great. He died by suicide.

    Loving husband of Susan (Bearinger). Father of Sara Cressman (David Martin), Amanda Cressman (Bryan Peters), and Karrie Cornies (Dan). Adored Papa to Addison, Maisie, Elaina and Caleb. He was predeceased by his parents Gladys and Clayton Cressman and parents-in-law Jessie and Howard Bearinger. He is mourned by his siblings and siblings-in-law Ralph Cressman (Lois), Kevin Cressman (Janet), Chris Cressman (Dale Scott), Karen Martin (Willard), Dave Bearinger (Debbi), Jim Bearinger (Barb), Judy Osborne (Pete), Larry Bearinger (Karen), and Kevin Bearinger (Dory) and many nieces and a few nephews.

    Richard wore many hats during his life - farmer, public speaker, counsellor, advice giver, thinker, designer/builder/tinkerer of many interesting machines and contraptions, shoe modifier, boat navigator, and collector of wooden roosters. He loved selling Pioneer Seeds and the opportunity it provided for him to connect with farmers. He was involved in the New Hamburg Lions Club, Waterloo Federation of Agriculture and Nith Valley Mennonite Church.

    He was a good listener and really enjoyed getting to know people. He valued every friend, neighbour, and farmer in his life. He cared for all of you.

    Richard was a son, husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, neighbour and friend. He will be missed by so many. To those of you who knew and loved Richard, take your time to mourn and grieve your loss knowing that he is at peace.

    There are two ways to mourn with the family. Video visitation messages can be made to the family and a drive-by visitation will take place on Sunday November 29th from 2:00pm-4:00pm and 6:00pm-8:00pm at Nith Valley Mennonite Church at 1355 Bean Rd, New Hamburg.
