Notes:
Cressman - Mary Ann (Snyder) was born June 6, 1872; passed away Dec. 4, 1934; aged 62 y. 5 m. 28 d. On March 12, 1895, she was married to Noah M. Cressman. To them were born five sons: Lloyd, Melvin, Zenas, Orlin, and Elam. In her passing she leaves a sorrowing husband, 4 sons, 3 daughters-in-law, 7 grandchildren, 2 brothers, 2 sisters, and a host of friends. One son (Orlin) preceded her in infancy. Always of a quiet retiring disposition, her influences for good went far beyond the community and her very sudden demise will make her sadly missed by all who knew her. While death came as a thief in the night, she being ill only a few hours due to a stroke, she yet left a testimony on her death-bed that she was resigned to the will of the Lord, and is now in His presence. She is "not dead, but sleepeth." Funeral services were held from her late residence near New Hamburg, Ont., Dec. 7, followed by services at the Biehn Mennonite Church, with interment in the adjoining cemetery. Brethren Moses H. Shantz, and Curtis C. Cressman had charge of the service.
"Dearest Mother, thou has left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal."

She was converted in her youth and united with the Bean congregation. When the family moved into the Breslau district in 1926 she united with the Cressman congregation. She was faithful in church attendance and, though her closing years were attended with much suffering, she unwaveringly retained her faith in her Lord and Saviour. Frequently she expressed her desire to go to her heavenly home. Her wish has now been graciously realized and we believe she is present with Christ, who gave her such an abiding hope and consolation. Funeral services were held at her late home and at the Cressman Church, Sept. 11, by the pastor, Oscar Burkholder. Text, Ps. 23: 4.

Flash from the Past: Busy feed mill was at Fisher Mills
Waterloo Region Record
For much of the 20th century the story of the Hespeler-area hamlet of Fisher Mills ran parallel to the story of its mill and the mill's longtime owner, A.J. Shantz.
Last week's "mystery" photo showing Hespeler Feed & Farm Supplies in the 1960s inspired dozens of calls and emails from readers with ties to the hamlet, named for Jacob Fisher, a Chilligo Creek mill operator in the early 1800s. Fisher Mills was also the birthplace in 1841 of Waterloo distiller Joseph Seagram. His parents owned a hotel there.
The old mill, just east of Beaverdale Road and two kilometres from the heart of Hespeler (now Cambridge), was a place of business until 1990. It's now a home, backing on Maple Grove Road.
In 1932, when he was 40, Ammon Junia (A.J.) Shantz became owner of the feed mill his father Joseph Shantz began there in 1890. Powered by water from a man-made pond, the Shantz mill was built on the foundation of an earlier flour mill that in 1888 was dismantled and moved to Birtle, Man. One of A.J. Shantz's first steps as owner was to add a diesel engine.
Shantz grew up working at the mill but also trained at the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph in the 1920s. He lived with his parents on a farm that is partly visible on the far left in the photo.
Shantz is remembered as an honest, kind and astute man who kept pace with changing business realities. A Shur-Gain franchisee, producing livestock feeds was his key focus. But his mill also did seed cleaning, grain chopping and saw milling. It made apple cider, fruit juice, molasses and apple butter (the latter venture was directed by his mother, Mattie), plus its own brand of dog food, promoted by a litter of 16 Irish setters, Shantz acquired.
A description in the 1957 volume of the Waterloo Historical Society noted: "Mr. Shantz also deals in fertilizers, fencing, twine and many other lines of farm supplies. An electrical appliance shop stocking deep freezers, TV sets etc. has recently been added to his establishment."
For 22 years Shantz also owned the Speed Mill north of Hespeler. It was both a flour and feed mill.
Lois Anne Snyder of Waterloo recognized the Shantz Mill photo. She grew up in Fisher Mills and her grandfather and father, both named Alf Tuletzki, worked for Shantz, as did her sister Betty, who had a job in the mill office.
"We used to go down there sometimes with my dad in the mornings," Snyder recalled. One of the first things her father would do was go to the basement and start an engine that would get all sorts of belts and pulleys moving throughout the building.
Don Baker of Kitchener phoned to say his father, Art, bought farm supplies at the mill and worked there in the 1960s and 1970s. He is certain the car in the photo is his father's 1962 Mercury.
Bill Bartels of Kitchener has a special reason to recall A.J. Shantz. In 1924, his grandfather Jacob J. Bartels, arrived in Waterloo with his wife and four children, along with other Russian Mennonites who had fled persecution in their homeland. When they stepped from the train, a man shouted "family of six" and A.J. Shantz stepped up to say he could offer them temporary housing.
The Bartels family lived briefly at the Shantz farm. Jacob later acquired a Niagara-area fruit farm that he ran with Bartel's father, Jacob Jr., who raised his own family in Hespeler.
Bartels said he can recall going to Shantz's mill as a boy with his father in the 1940s with apples and tomatoes from the Niagara farm.
"I was pretty impressed with the idea that you could squeeze a tomato and get juice that you would put in a can."
When Shantz retired in 1970, he sold the mill to Howard Cressman, who had grown up in Shantz's home, where his mother was the housekeeper. Cressman incorporated as Chilligo Farm Supply, Ltd. and for a time had Bill Miller as a co-owner.
They made many innovations, but manufacturing was gradually discontinued. The mill became a retail site called The Feed Store.
Ron Hattle of Elora phoned to say his father, Charles, worked for Cressman in the 1970s and in retirement wrote about the mill.
From his journal: "The staff at the time was Howard Cressman, Stewart McDonald, Alf Tuletzki, Art Baker, Karol Warenholtz and Charlie Hattle. Shortly after when things got going with the pellets, they hired Guy Hawshaw. Alf's daughter was the bookkeeper."
Shantz was a very visible figure in Fisher Mills and at the nearby Wanner Mennonite Church. In the late 1930s he and his farmhand, Wilfred Becker, took two Percheron horses to Toronto and won a prize at the Royal Winter Fair.
One curious aspect of Shantz's life is that he and his wife, Clara, wed in 1918, lived apart for years, she in Kitchener and he at Fisher Mills. Their only child had passed away in 1921 while still a tot.
Miriam Cressman of Cambridge knew the couple well as the wife of Howard Cressman, who died in 2004. Clara and A.J. were fond of each other, she said, but as young people were pressured by their strong-willed mothers. Clara's mother insisted her daughter live with her in Kitchener. But A.J. found it hard to run the mill from so far away. As well, his own mother wanted him at Fisher Mills.
In later life the couple did live together again at Fisher Mills. Clara died in 1984, A.J. in 1988.

_____________________
Martha Snyder Bechtel 1893 - 1945
Martha grew up in the midst of congregational activities and when the women in Ontario began organizing, Martha was prepared to fill a role among them.
Wanner Women Organize
Martha Snyder was born on February 5, 1893 to Absolom B. and Mary (Groff) Snyder near Hespeler, Ontario. Her father was ordained a minister shortly before her birth. Church activities and evangelistic meetings in particular, received a great deal of time and energy in the Snyder family. The Snyders were members of the Wanner Mennonite Church. As the oldest in the family, Martha was unable to attend high school, but in the fall of 1913, she enrolled in the academy in Goshen, Indiana. Nelson Bechtel from Hespeler was studying music at Goshen also. Although Martha probably was at Goshen only one year, she was introduced to the wider Mennonite world of mission interest. On December 1, 1915 the Wanner women met at the Absolom Snyder home to organize a women's missionary society. Someone recalled that at this meeting Mary Snyder was in charge, and that Martha coached her mother on how to go about electing officers and voting on other matters. No doubt, the initiative for this venture came from Mabel Groh, a member at Wanner, and whose story is told elsewhere in this book, but it may be that Martha had also received inspiration for women's work at Goshen. At the 1915 meeting, Ada Bechtel was elected president, Martha was on the cutting committee, and Mother Snyder on the visiting committee. At the second organizational meeting in 1916, Martha was elected president, but by that time she was Mrs. Nelson Bechtel. During that first year they sewed for the Kitchener orphanage and supplied mouth wash for the soldiers. Those were the years of World War I.. Martha sometimes also acted spontaneously. The family recalls that one Sunday morning they were on their way to church. Seeing some boys at the river fishing, the Bechtels stopped, and Martha invited them to come to Sunday school. It was also Martha and Mabel Groh who drove around the community with horse and buggy inviting people to church. Daughter Dorothy recalls that Martha made up Christmas baskets for needy families. Whether this was a project of the church or a personal one, she no longer remembers. Daughter Ruth remembers taking food across the fields to an ailing neighbour. When the Mennonite refugees from Russia came in the 1920s, Martha also did special things for them.
The Ontario Women Organize
In the winter of 1936.... vice president, Martha very ably presided over the meeting and was elected president. Martha was serving as president when World War II broke out, and the women began to do a great deal of sewing for relief. Martha did not always feel up to the tasks which her office required, but she was very capable and could do what she set about to do. In 1941 she resigned due to illness. She died on March 12, 1945 at the age of 52. Edna Bowman remembers Martha as very outgoing and friendly. She was tall, blonde, with a striking bearing. When the women were looking for someone to serve on their committee, she was a likely candidate.

Notes:
Cressman. - Lloyd S., son of Noah M. and Mary Ann (Snider) Cressman, was born near New Hamburg, Ont., Aug. 2, 1896; died Oct. 7, 1942, at his home in New Hamburg, following a severe heart attack two days previously. He accepted the Lord Jesus as his Saviour in his early youth and became a member of the Biehn congregation, remaining faithful to the Mennonite Church until the Lord called him to Himself. Aug. 2, 1939, he was united in mar-riage to Gladys Snider. This union was blessed with 3 children (Mary Enid, Ruth Evelyn, and David Lloyd). These with his sorrowing com-panion survive his early passing. His aged father and 3 brothers also survive. His mother and 1 brother predeceased him. Why the Lord should call from our midst one we felt was so much needed, both in the home and in the Church, we cannot know here; but we will be resigned to Him who in His love and wisdom has taken our brother to Himself. At the time of his death he served as superintendent of the junior department of the Sunday school and helped pioneer the summer Bible school movement from its beginning in this section, having served as a teacher continuously. He also had the general interests of the Church at heart, having an intelligent and sympathetic under-standing of her problems. He gave unstintingly of his time and effort on several conference committees, and served credibly in this work. He also was much concerned about the spiritually neglected rural fields of Ontario, his business giving him wide acquaintance through the province. Natural ties have been broken, and we sorrow but not as those who have no hope, for Brother Lloyd had assurance of eternal life and our memories of him will ever be an encouragement to us. The funeral services were held Oct. 10 from his late residence in New Hamburg, with a service at the Biehn Mennonite Church, where interment was made in the cemetery beside the church where he had worshiped and served. Bros. M. H. Roth, C. F. Derstine, and C. C. Cressman assisted in the service.

Truck Hit On Breslau Area Line
A Breslau district farmer and his three young children, were killed instantly late yesterday afternoon, when their pick-up truck was struck by a twin-diesel freight train, on township road 1, near Shantz Station. Dead are Howard Levi Rudy, 43, of RR 2. Breslau; his two daughters, Nancy Ann, 10 and Phyllis Marie, 8 and son, Walter Eugene, 5. The accident took place on a railway crossing at the Waterloo-Wellington county line, only a few hundred yards from the Rudy farm laneway and about 10 miles east of Kitchener. RETURN FROM SCHOOL
Mr. Rudy was returning from Vance School, about 11/2 miles south of his farm, after picking up his two daughters. The young boy, who doesn't attend school, went along for the ride. The truck was struck on the passenger side of its cab, by the westbound freight train, wrapped itself around the front of the engine and was carried down the tracks for half a mile. The railway tracks run parallel to the Rudy farm buildings. The wrecked truck and its four victims, were carried past the Rudy home, where Mrs. Rudy was in the barn cleaning out a milk tank. She said she heard a "bump" at the time of the impact, but thought it could have been a noise made by cows, shuffling in their stalls.
INQUEST PLANNED
Dr. C. C. Belyea, coroner, said an inquest will be held. He described the victims' injuries as "very extensive" and was of the opinion death was instantaneous. "It was one of the worst tragedies I have seen in this area," he said. A postmortem was performed on Mr. Rudy, at K-W Hospital today. Howard Hicks, 43 Chrisholme Ave., Toronto, in charge of the train, told Waterloo Township Chief Livingstone, he noticed the truck on the tracks but was unable to halt the diesel in time. The truck started to fall apart after it reached a laneway, directly behind the Rudy home, more than a quarter mile from the main crossing.
DEBRIS STREWN
A wheel with chains, a hubcap and other pieces of debris were strewn along the tracks. The crossing where the tragedy took place has no signals and is unlighted. There were no known witnesses. Police said the truck's tires left 21 feet of skid marks, leading to the tracks. One theory is that the truck, a 1953 model, stalled on the tracks. The accident occurred at 4: 35 p.m. A member of the train crew notified police. Chief Livingstone said there haxe been many tragic accidents in the township, but I think this is one of the worst in which I have taken a part in the investigation Assisting the chief were constables, John Stevenson, Nyle Soehner and Donald Herman. Chief Livingstone removed the bodies from the twisted wreckage.

- Elected Office: Barrie, Simcoe Co., Ontario, Canada; mayor of Barrie, Ontario
- Eby ID Number: Waterloo-146730
- Birth: 25 Sep 1919
Notes:
Willard L. Kinzie (born September 19, 1919) is a businessman and former mayor of Barrie, Ontario. After serving as an Alderman, Willard was elected as mayor of the then town and served at the time that it reincorporated as a city. He played a central role in many of the issues affecting Barrie, such as various annexation reviews and the development of the waterfront. As a businessman, he ran a successful milk delivery business earning him the nickname 'The Milk Man'.
Willard Kinzie. (2017). En.wikipedia.org. Retrieved 9 September 2017, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willard_Kinzie
______________________
At 95 years of age, former mayor hasn't lost interest in local politics
Ninety-five years in and Willard Kinzie is still looking ahead.
"I feel older. There's no question about that. I can't do what I used to do. Age is catching up to me in many ways," he said from his Shanty Bay Road home. "But somehow or other in life, you look up to what's in the future and it all looks good."
The former Barrie mayor (1957-1961) turned 95 years young on Friday, and he still pays attention to local politics \endash especially with a city election coming in October.
"I think in general we have one of the better councils, serving the people, on the whole," he said. "But there's always problems, there will always be complaints when you are there, there's always pros and cons. I certainly don't agree with everything they do."
One criticism is that city costs haven't been adequately controlled. Kinzie believes expenses should only increase as much as the annual assessment; that would keep taxes constant.
But he's the first to admit these are different times.
Kinzie was raised in a farm neighbourhood, between Cambridge and Kitchener, a friendly, helpful, competitive community.
"There was a real effort to improve the neighbourhood," he remembers.
His father and uncles were in the dairy business, and there were stories of great humour passed on to him.
"This made me want to go into the dairy business, rather than farming, because it seemed more fun," he said. "I found out it was more hard work."
This was during the Great Depression, times were tough and there was no medical care. His father spent all his money when his mother fell ill, and needed a series of operations.
"It took everything he had," Kinzie said.
But he found work, eventually went overseas, and came back with $3,000 in pay, plus a further $3,000 in gratuities from the government for his service, 1942-1945.
It gave him the capital to buy one broken-down dairy truck for one delivery route. In two years time he had three routes.
But it was all too small, so he sold the Guelph business and moved to Barrie, in 1947.
He immediately noticed one big difference here; Kempenfelt Bay.
"When I came to Barrie, this whole scene astounded me \endash the beauty of it," he said.
Kinzie purchased a Dunlop Street East dairy (Lakeview), lived there with his family in the house above it, with a view of Kempenfelt.
"We could look out over the water, and it was just amazing. The beauty of it astounded me," he said.
Kinzie purchased an empty Shanty Bay Road lot, overlooking the lake, and built his home there.
He soon joined the Chamber of Commerce, but was disappointed with the city's effort to bring in new industry and business.
"It seemed to me they were protecting the low-wage industries that we had in Barrie at that time, so I ran for council and got elected (1952-53)," he said. "My main objective was to get business and industry."
Once mayor, he travelled North America to achieve this goal.
"It was rather amazingly simple. If I heard of a prospect for industry in Canada \endash this was before free trade, so we had companies that we knew were practically forced to establish in Canada," he said, "I would go, unannounced.
"Go to the head office and ask to see the president and show my mayor's card. And amazingly enough I never had to wait more than 20 minutes to see the president of the company."
He said this resulted in many businesses and industries coming to the city.
"Barrie had started to grow, and we were able to offer employment to all of our younger people," he said.
Kinzie also began thinking about the head of Kempenfelt, and made the first motion on council, before he was mayor, to start filling in the bay and acquire property along the waterfront.
There were objections from environmentalists.
"There were people who said just leave it as it is," he said. "My version is that it should be open to the public to see and enjoy.
"The beauty of the bay still astounds me. I wake up in the morning and I see the bay."
He continues to walk the North Shore Trail, and spearheaded a project around the bay to tell Barrie's story.
The Heritage Trail is to eventually be a self-guided trail around the city's waterfront, depicting Barrie's history through signs and displays; it's to help educate the public, school groups and visitors. Work started on it this past summer.
So Willard Kinzie is still looking ahead.
All are welcome at Saturday's open house to celebrate his 95th birthday, from 1: 30-4 p.m. at 135 Shanty Bay Rd. His son Bob will be barbequing a pig.
A family dinner follows that evening, with an expected crowd of 35-40 people, with smoked trout all the way from British Columbia, delivered by his daughter Susan.

George Bechtel
Farmer, animal lover, singer, husband, teacher, father, gardener, train enthusiast, transportation advocate, and cyclist, George passed from this life on May 3, 2019, aged 86 years.
He was the beloved husband of Grace (Schott), father of Trevor (Susan Hunsberger), and Gini (Tamara Shantz). He was the son of Nelson (1968) and Martha (Snyder, 1945) and stepson of Margaret (McTavish, 1985), and the brother of Janet (2013, Tom Inglis 1994), Mary Alma (2010, Charles Goodrich, 1992), Ruth, who survives (John Hess, 2007), and Dorothy (2010, Merlin Grove, 1962).
George spent the first part of his life working on his father's farm, established in 1816. His love of animals began here, particularly as he nursed his badly injured peacock Birdy back to health from a near fatal attack, and related to the dairy cattle with his characteristic gentleness. George taught at the secondary level and community college level for 29 years forming lifelong relationship with many students and colleagues. In retirement he volunteered at Doon Heritage Crossroads and researched early farm gardens building on his lifelong vocation as a gardener. George introduced many people in Waterloo County to the beauty of the dried strawflower producing many blooms for sale at the farmer's market and for Grace's bouquets.
George had a sought after tenor voice, singing in choirs and quartets\endash notably the Junior Farmers Quartet and Renaissance Singers\endash and leading singing and soloing throughout the Mennonite community. He was both a lover of British cars and an advocate of alternatives to the automobile. He was known publicly as an advocate of passenger rail publishing regular articles and letters to the editor and planning yearly family train trips. The family had two dogs, Avey and Bo, after which George took up weekend sitting for National Service dogs. Most recently George and Grace welcomed Mabel the cat into their home. George was rejuvenated by summer family camping trips, being outside and cooking on the hibachi. He was also an avid cyclist and recorded his mileage daily. He travelled the circumference of the earth more than two and a half times on short and long bicycle trips in Ontario. Late in life he suffered a significant bicycle accident and subsequently became interested in the results of concussions.
A longtime interest in family and local history took shape in the Society for the Preservation of the Samuel Bechtel Burial Ground, a registered non-profit he founded with others to protect the site were Mennonites first gathered 200 years ago.
George will be remembered by many relatives and friends.
