Notes:

Betzner - On the 5th of November 1894, at her home near Breslau, Waterloo Co., Ont., after long suffering of cancerous affections of breast and liver, Sister Lydia, beloved wife of Jacob S. Betzner, aged 52 y., 18 d. She was a patient sufferer, and although everything that human skill could devise or affection could suggest was done, she sank gradually until at last death came and the tired body, so long racked with pain, sank to its long rest, while the soul, freed from its earthly thralldom, soared to the home for which it so much longed. She will be sadly missed in the church in which she was a devoted member, in the neighborhood, in which she was universally esteemed, and in the home, where she was a loving helpmeet, a faithful companion and an affectionate mother. She leaves a sorrowing husband and two grown daughters, beside many relatives and friends to mourn her death. Her remains were laid to rest on the 7th in the Cressman cemetery, followed by a large concourse of sympathizing friends. Funeral services were conducted by Noah Stauffer in German and David Sherk in English. The Lord comfort and sustain our dear brother and family in their deep affliction.

______________________

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.

Notes:

Schweitzer.- Gordon, oldest son of Samuel and Barbara Schweitzer, Waterloo, Ont., died March 22, 1912; aged 23 y 6 m. 17 d. He was a noble and promising young man, and his death was caused by an accident at a sawmill. While he was loading sawdust, from a pile, which was frozen at the top, probably got underneath a little too far, when all at once the lump came down, catching him and covering him up to the shoulders, and quite likely striking his head against the sleigh, fracturing his skull, making him unconscious till his death, about half an hour later.

A number of years ago Gordon united with the Mennonite Church, but on account of not watching and praying as he ought to got cold and indifferent. Later, however, he realized the necessity of renewing his covenant, which he did, and we believe has been true to his God since. As an evidence of this, they had a farm, adjoining their own, but nobody lived there, so it became Gordon's lot to go over and do the chores, and on very stormy days would stay all day, spending the time between chores reading the Bible, which was found in the stable since his death.
Funeral services were held on March 26 at the Waterloo Mennonite Church by Bro. Noah Hunsberger from Matt. 25: 13, and by Jonas Snider from Mark 13;33 preaching impressive sermons to a large audience. We believe this is a loud call to us all, warning us to be ready as death may meet us at an hour when we least expect it. May God comfort the bereaved family.

Since their marriage they had resided in Elmira and vicinity. She was converted in her youth, joined the Mennonite Church, and remained a faithful member until death. She was never blest with a family of her own but she possessed a motherly disposition which endeared her to all children. This was especially manifested in her work as a teacher of the beginners in the primary department of the Sunday school. Her benevolent qualities and gracious hospitality won for her the esteem and respect of all with whom she came in contact. The joy of her life was in her service for others. Short funeral services were held Feb. 16, 1944, at the Elmira Mennonite Church in charge of Bro. O. D. Snider, and at the First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, in charge of Bros. U. K. Weber and S. F.

Notes:

JOSEPH WAYNE SNYDER 1909 - 1996

Wayne was born June 19, 1909, a son of Jacob B. Snyder and Angeline (Groff) Snyder. He grew up on the family farm (present site of St. Daniel's Church, Ottawa and Franklin Sts., Kitchener) along with five sisters, Beulah Olive, Seleda, Cora and Eileen.

On June 27, 1934, he married Olive Martin. They raised five children, Jean (husband-Ronald Gimbel; Carol Anne (husband - Ronald Hunt); Marion, Bruce (wife Helen); and Marjorie. Wayne will be missed by all, including his grandchildren, Joyce, Lois, Sandra, Susan, Wendy, Carolyn, Laurie, Jon-Paul, Tim, Beth, Johnathan, Daniel, and great-grandchildren, Jennifer, Kimberley Melanie, Christopher, Jonathan, Rebecca, Kieran, James Sean, Meaghan, Sarah and Chloe.

Wayne operated the family farm for many years. The mixed farming operation included a herd of Jersey dairy cattle. He was a hard worker and took pride in running a successful farm operation. He was active in various agricultural associations.After retiring from active farming he attended the Thursday auction at the Stockyards in North Waterloo and this continued to be part of his weekly routine until about five years ago.

Wayne and Olive sold the farm and moved to Rosemount Drive in Kitchener in 1968. He drove a delivery truck for an auto supply company and worked at Canadian Tire. Then, in 1986, when Olive's health was failing, they moved to an apartment at Fairview. They celebrated 55 years of happy married life together before Olive died in 1990.

Wayne was a lifelong member of the Stirling Ave. Mennonite Church and faithfully attended and participated in many church activities. Together with Olive, they did a lot of visiting shut-ins, and volunteering at the M.C.C. Relief Sale. Wayne was also involved in the work of the House of Friendship and Waters Mennonite Church at Sudbury.

Music was important in the home and Wayne's bass voice added to many sing-songs around the piano at family gatherings. In later years, he sang in the Festival of Male Voice Praise choir of Hamilton and he choir at Fairview Mennonite Home. He really enjoyed attending the Scottish Festival at Fergus and listening to the bagpipes playing.

He took up the hobby of rug-hooking in his retirement years and created many colourful mats and wall hangings. Wayne and Olive enjoyed the beauty of God's creation and took many trips across Canada and the U.S. A trip through the Muskoka area of Ontario during the fall colour season was an annual event for them.

We are thankful for Wayne's long life and for his devotion to God and family.
