Notes:

Mayer.-- John L. Mayer was born in Waterloo Co., Ont., Oct. 15, 1858; died at his home near Pigeon, Mich., Mar. 18 1931; aged 72 y. 5 m. 3 d. On Dec. 4, 1883, he was united in marriage to Mary Jutzi. He leaves his beloved companion, 2 daughters (Mrs. Benjamin Gingerich and Lydia), 2 sons (Ezra and Solomon), 1 brother, an aged aunt and a host of other relatives and friends. A daughter preceded him in death about thirteen years ago. He accepted Christ as his personal Savior in his youth and united with the Amish Mennonite Church of which he was a faithful member to his death. He had been ailing for a number of years. In the summer of 1930 he had a hard attack of influenza, at which time he expressed a great desire to go home and be with the Lord. He had a vision of the glorious crown, but was unable to express the wonderful beauty of it as he saw it. He was able to leave home only once since that time and since his sickness he often expressed himself as being homesick for heaven. Funeral services were held March 21 at the Pigeon River Church by Bros. M. S. Zehr in German ( text, Rom. 6:23) and Edwin Albrecht in English (text, Num. 23:10). The body was laid to rest in the cemetery nearby.

"God saw fit to take him from us,
To that home that knows no pain,
Where no sickness, care and sorrow
Nor distress shall come again."

Notes:

"In 1913, Baden area farmer Peter L. Moyer was 52 years old. He had been married since 1888 to Mary Anna Reeve and was a member of the Steinmann Amish Mennonite church. Moyer was dissatisfied, in fact, very dissatisfied with church arrangements. Sunday services alternated between Steinmann's and St. Agatha Amish Mennonite church (a.k.a. Lichti's church). Steinmann's was on Snyder's Road, well west of Baden, almost at Nafziger Road: Lichti's was on Erb's Road just west of St. Agatha. Today, it's hardly a five-minute drive. Put yourself at the Moyer farm in winter 1912. Many second Sundays he had to horse-and-buggy his family and friends for an hour over unplowed roads to Lichti's.

Moyer's solution? Build and pay for a simple frame church building on a small property in Baden and make it a fellowship hall, open to all denominations. Under various names and overseers, it served for almost nine decades. By the 1990s, Wilmot Mennonite Fellowship Hall was primarily a rental facility for community groups although a small congregation, West Hills Mennonite Fellowship, held Sunday services. On April 14, 2000, fire destroyed the building. Arson, whether accidental or purposeful, was the initial assumption but no one was ever charged."
