JOHN H. WESTFALL

John H. Westfall, 63, victim of accident on Monday Evening

A collision in which a car was crushed between two transport trucks at 6: 00 o'clock Monday evening at the main intersection of Petersburg, on Nos. 7 and 8 Highway resulted in the death of John Henry Westfall, 63, of Petersburg, driver of the car. The truck drivers were uninjured. Mr. Westfall is said to have driven his car, an old, light model, out onto the highway directly in the path of a W&G Hutton trailer transport driven by Hugh Munro, Uniondale, with a 10-ton load of grain in the trailer. The truck was driving west. The impact drove the car into a truck owned by E. Meyers, Shakespeare, which was parked at the side of the road about 100 feet from the intersection, and then thre both the car and the parked truck about 15 feet off the road. Mr. Meyer's was across the road at the time of the accident. The first transport landed on top of the car and smashed it into the ground.

Mr. Westfall was taken from the car in an unconscious condition and died an hour later at the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital. The car was completely wrecked and extensive damage was done to the truck driven by Mr. Munro. The other vehicle was driven out of the field under its own power with only superficial damage. Mr. Munro said that he had no idea what had happened. He stated that he was driving along with a clear road in front of him until suddenly the small car appeared directly in his path. The next thing I knew," he said. "There was a crash and I found myself in the ditch on top of the car, with the other truck a few feet in front." William Kelly, St. Marys, who was in the truck with Munro, bore out that statement.

Mr. Westfall is survived by his wife, Anna,; one son, Emerson, Merryhill; one daughter, Mr. H Demmerling, Waterloo; and a step-daughter, Mrs. R. Mousso, St. Catharines. He was born in Woolwich township and moved to the Petersburg district eight years ago.

His mind was clear to the end, and he made particular mention of many of his friends. After bidding farewell to his parents, a light appeared before him. A little later he said that the light was getting brighter and that he would soon pass on. He leaves his sorrowing parents and a sister, Katie, as well as many friends. Funeral services were held by Bro. Daniel B. M. Martin and Bro. Abram Bearinger. He was laid to rest in Martin's Mennonite Cemetery.

LIFETIMES: From Old Order Mennonite to nursing instructor, Cindy Bolger broke a lot of moulds
Lucinda (Cindy) Bolger of Waterloo, born: Sept. 25, 1921, in Yatton, Ont., died: Dec. 6, 2017, of age-related illness

Cindy Martin was only 12 years old when she left home to work as a mother's helper, where the jobs usually entailed assisting a pregnant mother around the time of birth. These were all temporary positions and it would soon be time to move on, a total of 40 different households before something stirred in Cindy, something that made her decide to make more of her life.

Born the eldest of six into an Old Order Mennonite family in Yatton, in rural Waterloo near Elmira, expectations for the child were limited by her upbringing.

Cindy wrote in her memoir how her parents thought she might possibly complete Grade 8 but they knew with certainly she would end up being a "submissive wife" with a whole passel of kids.

Cindy had seen her fair share of Mennonite women on the farm, working hard, raising families. She was having none of it and surprisingly, her parents supported their head strong, determined daughter. Cindy would eventually become a nurse and nursing instructor as well as a bit of a mother hen to dozens of student nurses at what was then called Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital School of Nursing.

Cindy's rise to this position came after years of struggle.

In his eulogy, oldest son Jim Bolger recalled how his mother's early days were shadowed by extreme poverty.

"Many would describe her family as 'poor Nelson Martin's family' often dependent on others for food and money," he said.....

Obituary
Woolner, Elvina - July 15, 1925 - January 16, 2021

Elvina Woolner (nee Martin) completed her earthly journey after a short battle with COVID-19 at the age of 95. She was predeceased by her husband Leonard, son Jerry, and siblings Cindy, Urias, Maryann, Nelson, and Abner. She will be deeply missed by her three daughters Sharon (Larry), Marlene (Dave), and Gloria (Steve); 7 grandchildren Laura, Kathryn, Jackie, Joanna, Adam, Jessica, and Becky; and 12 great-grandchildren Caleb, Brenna, Halle, Clayton, Yuna, Elora, Ara, Isaiah, Jia, Jadon, Alex, and Jessica's soon-to-be born baby. She is also survived by her sisters-in-law, Vera and Ann, and many beloved nieces and nephews. Elvina cherished her relationships with her many dear friends and neighbours who appreciated her spirited wit, caring heart, generous hospitality, and memorable meals. Many hours were spent reminiscing about life on the farm and sharing her joy of gardening. Elvina was an avid scrabble player and jumble scrambler and was rarely seen without a book in her hand. Every evening at 7:30 you could find her watching Jeopardy. She enjoyed music and singing and always loved when her grandchildren and great-grandchildren sang her favourite songs like Suppertime, I Come to the Garden Alone, and Sleep My Child. Elvina was an active member at First Mennonite Church in Kitchener and later attended Bethany Community Church in St. Catharines. Her enduring faith in God sustained her through challenging times. She leaves a legacy of faith for us to carry on.
The family would like to express their gratitude to all the staff at Tabor Manor in St. Catharines who loved and cared for Elvina. Thank you for your exceptional care, compassion, and expert knowledge.

Memorial celebrations will be held in the future when family and friends can gather. Donations in Elvina's memory can be made to a charity of your choice. Your memories of Elvina and expressions of condolence can be sent to: elvina.woolner@gmail.com

Notes:

Arthur Israel was born in Winterbourne on July 26, 1914 to Oscar Israel and Maude (Westfall) Israel. Arthur took his high school entrance examinations in 1928 at Elmira Public School and finished with honours, allowing him admission into a collegiate institute, high school or continuation school. Arthur attended high school but did not finish.

Finding it difficult to get a job without a high school education Arthur attended Euler Business College in 1930 for accounting. Upon graduation, Arthur got a job with the railroad in Preston for sixty dollars a month. Business was bad and Arthur was let go from the railroad a year later. For awhile, Arthur worked on a farm for $100 a year. Realising that this was not enough money to start a family, Arthur and his fiancée, Hilda Lavina Reist purchased a 25 hectare farm in 1934 for $3600. On the farm he grew wheat and made an extra $5 a week with his father slaughtering animals as a butcher. Arthur and Hilda also made money selling strawberries door-to-door in Kitchener. Arthur also took a second job as a construction director when they were building new roads in the county.

Arthur and Hilda continued to farm for 18 years. They owned the Bonnie Muir farm and Gordon Farm in Winterbourne until 1952 when they sold to G. F. Higgins and built a new house in Conestogo. The house was built on a lot purchased from Oscar Huehn.

Arthur and Hilda wed in June 1935 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Elmira where they were parishioners. The bride was attended by her sister, Flora Reist and Edward Israel, brother of the bridegroom was the best man. Rev. A. Orzen presided over the marriage. The newly weds spent their honeymoon in Niagara Falls. Arthur and Hilda had one child together, Arlene (Israel) Koch.

Arthur was appointed Clerk of the Township of Woolwich at a council meeting held on March 6, 1951. He was the only written application. The position carried a salary of $750. Arthur assumed the treasurer's duties the following year when no one applied for the open position. In 1953, he continued to take on extra duties and became the tax collector and welfare officer. As an experienced minute recorder, Arthur was secretary of the Township of Woolwich planning board and committee of adjustments. Arthur resigned from the position of Clerk-Treasurer on July 1, 1970 after 19 years of service. He was presented with a lawn umbrella, table and chairs, arm chair, rocking chair, coffee table, luggage and wrist watch. At this time, the St. Jacobs Lions Club also recognized Arthur with a plaque for his service to the community.

Arthur did not stay in retirement for long and was appointed census commissioner for Woolwich district in April 1971. The census district included 12 areas in Woolwich, 6 in Elmira and 1 in Peel. Each area had 200 households.

Arthur was awarded a Centennial medal by the government of Canada on July 1, 1967. He was recommended for the award by Township of Woolwich council. Around 20,000 medals were awarded as a commemoration of the centennial year. They were awarded for public services on the recommendation of municipal councils and other bodies. Arthur and Mabel Ziegler, a teacher of 38 years were the two nominees put forth by the Township of Woolwich who were awarded the Centennial medal.

Arthur died on February 16, 2009 at A. R. Goudie Eventide Nursing Home, Kitchener in his 95th year. His wife, Hilda passed away in 2001 after 65 years of marriage.

Beatty loved spending time with family, which often included making sure they were well fed. She gave of herself in the most practical ways and her generosity was abundant.

Her hobbies included quilting, rug hooking, reading and doing puzzles and in the summertime she was an avid gardener. She spent countless hours with her daughters and many grandchildren. She enjoyed playing cards, bingo and listening to bluegrass music, some of which she could turn into a destination to fulfill her love of travel (are we there yet?!); these destinations often included casinos and bluegrass events.

Loving Mother of Debbie Miller (Fox), and Sandy Shantz (Dale).
