Notes:

Susannah (Shantz) Snyder was born Aug. 14, 1874. She united in holy matrimony with Urias Snyder of Waterloo, Ont., in 1898. This union was blest with one son. In 1904 she with her husband were converted and united with the Mennonite Church at Waterloo. She was of a quiet and unassuming disposition, and was always faithful to her Lord, till He called her home. Her departure was a shock to the community, as she was in ordinary health till the evening of Jan. 6, when she complained a little but not seriously, went to sleep, and next morning was found lifeless in bed, seemingly without a struggle. She died at her home near Waterloo, Jan. 7, in her 54th year; thus proving the frailty of man and the importance to be ready. She leaves her sorrowing husband, 1 son (Lorne) her aged father (Levi Shantz), 2 sisters, 2 brothers, and a host of friends. Funeral services were held at the Waterloo Church by Bro. Jonas Snider (Text, Amos 4: 12), assisted by Brethren Noah Hunsberger and Howard Stevanus. May the abiding Comforter be with the bereaved family.

_________________________

"Florence and Salina Shantz ran a model household on Stirling Avenue in Kitchener and operated a dress and bonnet-making business to maintain themselves. Their home was a place of warmth for family and friends. They generously shared their gifts to clothe the needy, but with a flare of independence.

Salina, the older of the two sisters, was born on April 11, 1886 to Wendel and Mary Ann (Shantz) Shantz. The family lived on a farm on Erb Street, east of Philipsburg and attended the Shantz Mennonite Church.

Salina's health was rather delicate; so she stayed at home while her sisters were employed in homes in the neighbourhood.

In the early 1920s Mother Shantz suffered a stroke. Salina and Florence cared for her during the fourteen months in which she was bedfast. The doctor praised them for their excellent care, telling them they could qualify for nurses' degrees. When their father died in 1927, Salina and Florence moved to Kitchener.

IN BUSINESS

During the first ten years in the city, the Shantz sisters lived in various three-room apartments, engaging in sewing as best they could in such small space. Those were also the depression years, and work and resources were hard to find. Finally, in 1937, they built their own house on 11 Stirling Avenue North, their back yard adjoining First Mennonite Church's parking lot. They planned a large hall with sitting room for clients who were waiting to be served. There was a sewing room besides their own living quarters.....

Notes:

"Two sisters, Florence and Salina Shantz, also saw entrepreneurial opportunities in Berlin. Florence's specialty was bonnet making, a difficult skill to master. Bonnets were not easily mass produced, and making them by hand provided Mennonite women with a cottage industry opportunity of they were adept. The sisters had first moved to Kitchener from a farm near Philipsburg after their parents died. While renting an apartment, they slowly built up their dressmakers' business. In 1937, they were able to build their own house at 11 Stirling Avenue North, and ran the business from there. Salina and Florence might be making bonnets one day, and fancy wedding dresses for non-Mennonites the next. Younger relatives describe the sisters' home: 'They kept an immaculate house. No time was wasted chatting on the telephone. The newspaper was not opened until the day's work was completed and the house set in order. In spite of this, the nieces and nephews loved to go totheir aunts' house. It gave them a warm feeling'."

Philipsburg District Farmer Dies in Tractor Mishap

Austin Doering, aged 55, of RR 2, Baden, died Saturday night as the result of a freak tractor accident along the Wellesley road.
Mr. Doering had taken the tractor to Wellesley to have some wood planed, and was on his way home when the accident happened. His body was found beside the wheel of the tractor early Sunday on the farm of Mrs. Alma Forler, RR 1, Baden.

Corner Dr. C. C. Belyea of Kitchener reported Mr. Doering died of suffocation. According to Provincial Police Constable Harry Pelz, the wheel of the tractor rested against his neck and prevented his breathing, but did not crush his throat. Mr. Doering was found early Sunday by Lloyd Forler, after his mother saw the tractor on her property. It is believed the victim was westbound on Wilmot township road 3 when the tractor left the road and went through a deep drainage ditch, through a fence onto the Forler property and continued into the field before it stalled.

Mr. Doering was born in Philipsburg April 28, 1907, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Adam Doering. He farmed in the area all his life, and also worked for the Kitchener Silo Co. Ltd. He was a member of Zion Lutheran Church, Philipsburg.

Surviving are his wife, the former Ida Becker; two sons Clare of New Hamburg and Wayne, at home; two brothers, Howard of Wellesley, Gordon of New Hamburg; two sisters, Mrs. John (Frieda) Frank of Kitchener, Mrs. Oscar (Eugenia) Hackbart of Heidelberg and one grandchild.
