PANABAKER, ELIAS

Mr. Panabaker was born on the farm now owned by Mr. O. B. Ellis, formerly the property of the late William Ellis, now known as the lime kiln property, when Hespeler was known as Bergeytown and afterwards as New Hope, 71 years ago and resided there for many years before removing to Puslinch Township, where he lived until he removed to Hespeler some eighteen (or sixteen - differing reports) months ago to enjoy the fruits of a well-spent, well-ordered life. He was an untiring worker, always of an even temper and thus, a general favourite with whom to do business. Mr. Panabaker was always reckoned as one of the most trustworthy and thrifty citizens in this part of the country. He was one of the most successful farmers in this district and was greatly esteemed by a large circle of friends. He had amassed a comfortable competence and before removing to town, had built for himself a handsome brick residence on Walker St. , in which to enjoy the evening of his days. Providence deemed to rule that he would not be long a resident and he was submissive, as he always was, to the Divine will. The loss to so many of his friends, who would hope to have him remain, becomes his heavenly gain and so they do not murmur, as those without hope. The reward of all the faithful will surely be his, according to the promise. He was a son of the late Cornelius Panabaker, who was born in these parts. His grandfather was one of the Pennsylvania Dutch who immigrated to Canada many years ago. He was a life-long and consistent member of the Mennonite Church. He was a member of the board of the Adam Street Mission and in his life, did a great deal to foster and forward the work of this congregation. Always connected with every noble effort to lift mankind and a promoter of every good work, he lived the high ideal Christ-like life, as laid down in the oracles of that denomination. He was one of its chief supporters and the church suffers, perhaps, its greatest possible loss in his demise. He had been ailing for the past few months but his illness was not considered especially serious and the sudden call at 11 o'clock in the forenoon on Thursday, July 29, 1909 to the home of the Father was a shock. Even those who were attending him so carefully and patiently had not looked for the end so soon. Not until a more acute stage took place two or three days ago was the end considered near, his trouble being that of the heart. He leaves his widow, Sarah Cober, who is a sister of J. N. Cober; three daughters, Mrs. Ephriam Panabaker of Indian Head, SK; Mrs. Charles Hutchings of Toronto; Miss Anna "Nancy", at home; a son, Alfred, who resides on the homestead. A daughter, Minerva died some years ago. The funeral was held from his residence to the Hespeler Cemetery on Saturday at half past two and was very largely attended, services being conducted by Rev. Amos Eby of Berlin, assisted by Rev. D. Eby and J. Wilson of Hespeler. Pallbearers: Gilbert and Arthur Panabaker, Elias and Archie Holm, Cyrus and Oliver Gingrich, all nephews.

____________________

The Blacksmithing needs of the first Mennonite settlers in this district appear to have been attended by Cornelius Pannabecker who came from Pennsylvania in 1810 and some time thereafter set up his forge on the farm at Beaverdale, now owned by Mr. Fred. Lindhorst. David Baer learned the smithing trade with this Cornelius Pennabecker who was his uncle and in 1855 he built the little shop on the Elias Pannabecker farm and started to ply his trade there. Both Samuel Pannabecker and Bernhardt Goebel learned their trades in that shop, and the former succeeded Baer as its proprietor. It is quite probable that David Baer ironed some of the waggons built by John Cober, the waggon maker. Although it is known that Samuel Pannabecker did some ironing for J. N. Cober after he bought his brother John out, and moved to the Tabbert place, it is not likely that this amounted to much because Mr. Cober had his own shop and employed a blacksmith permanently; at first, Thomas Hefferman and later, Barney Goebel. After J. N. Cober moved his carriage business to Hespeler, Mr. Sam. Pannabecker bought that place and continued blacksmithing there along with his farming operations.

Notes:

Wanner.-Mary Ann Witmer, wife of the late John Wanner, passed peacefully away at her home in Waterloo Twp., early Tuesday morning, Oct. 19, 1943; aged 87 years. She had been in fair health until the time of her decease. Al-though the Master's summons came suddenly, we rest assured that she has passed happily on to her eternal reward. She united with the Mennonite Church in her early womanhood and remained a faithful member until death. She is survived by 2 sons (Nelson, Alberta; Roy, at home), 3 daughters (Mrs. Jacob Mueller, Preston; Mrs. Henry Rhodey, Glennmorris; Mrs. William Seftel, Doon), 22 grandchildren, 52 great-grandchildren, and a brother (Abram Witmer, Kitchener).

Witmer. - Jesse Andrew Witmer was born in Waterloo Tp., Waterloo Co., Ont. On July 9, 1882; died Sept. 15, 1916; aged 34 y. 2 m. 6 d. On Jan 10, 1910, he was united in marriage to Sophia Snyder, who with a young daughter and son, his mother, a sister, and a brother survive to mourn his untimely departure. His father predeceased him only last May. Eight days previous to his death he had the misfortune to fall into the cylinder of a threshing machine which necessitated the amputation of 3 toes. Later tetanus or lockjaw developed, which was the cause of his death. Early in life he united with the Mennonite Church and has been an ardent worker in the Sunday school, being superintendent for three years past. He will indeed be missed much in the home, the church, and the community; but we trust in Him who doeth all things well. Funeral services were conducted at the Wanner Church on Sept. 18 by Oscar Burkholder and Benjamin Schantz. Text, Psa. 39: 4.
