    Return To Girlhood Church Highlights 94th Birthday

    By MARIAN COOK Reporter Correspondent

    A return trip to the church which she remembers visiting as a little girl highlighted a birthday celebration yesterday for Mrs. Agnes Stauffer, who today celebrates her 94th birthday.

    A hymn sing in the white frame church at the Pioneer Village, Doon, highlighted the visit and was enjoyed by about 40 relatives who had attended a birthday supper in the village.

    Mrs. Stauffer gazed about the church with its wooden beams and no ceiling, its hand-made wooden benches, and old black stoves. On the front wall of the church is painted a brown fringed scroll with the golden inscription, "The Lord Be With You."

    The service in the church was held at the request of Mrs. Stauffer. It added spiritual significance to the celebration for her and brought back many memories.

    The 103-year-old church stood for a century at Freeport and was donated to the village three years ago by the United Church of Canada.

    Mrs. Stauffer did not visit the church too often for travel was difficult when she was a child. She remembers well, getting from Breslau across the Grand River by way of Bridgeport, as there was no Breslau bridge.

    Born on a farm on the Kitchener- Guelph highway, she is a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Elias Brubacher. She spent her girlhood in this county and then lived in Cincinnati, Ohio for 30 years. There she married Addison Stauffer, whom she had known as a child.

    For about 15 years she lived in Preston as a companion-housekeeper for the family of the late Thomas Yates. Since last. September she has been a resident of the Sunnyside Home for the Aged in Kitchener.


    Mrs. Stauffer is the oldest resident of the home. Last month she shared an honor with the oldest male resident and cut the ribbon at the ceremony for the opening of a newly furnished Common Room. This room has been provided especially for the entertainment of guests and
    Mrs. Stauffer is looking forward to having her share of visitors there.

    After being a member of St. Paul's United Church, Preston for many years, she recently transferred her membership to Christ the King United Church, Kitchener. Her minister, Dr, B. L. Oaten, conducted the church service last night. Mrs. Clayton B. Eby of Freeport played the organ. The birthday party was arranged by a nephew, Wilbur Brubacher and Mrs. Brubacher of RR 3, Kitchener.

    Sarah married Addison Stauffer 10 Oct 1901, Kitchener, Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada. Addison (son of John Groh Stauffer and Lucinda Hammacher) was born 15 Mar 1867, New Dundee, Wilmot Twp., Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada; died 21 Apr 1931, Kitchener, Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada; was buried 25 Apr 1931, Blenheim Mennonite Cemetery, Blenheim Township, Oxford Co., Ontario.
