Notes:

Planting the seeds

By Bob Vrbanac, Chronicle Staff

We've all heard the story of how Abraham Erb's gristmill was Waterloo's first business and led to founding of the city.

But did you know it was all a mistake? Erb was one of the Mennonite farmers who was attracted to the area from Pennsylvania because of the arable land.

But when he arrived he found out the bottomland he owned was more than a little waterlogged. There was no way he could produce a decent crop.

But the Beaver Creek, now known as Laurel Creek, did run through his property. It provided an excellent source of running water and lead to the construction of one of the area's first water-powered gristmills.

Erb had no idea his little side project would become one of the best mill sites west of the Grand River, and farmers who needed their grain ground down to the flour of life would travel more than a day's journey to get in line with the others waiting for the service.

That's just one of the stories on display at the City of Waterloo's newest exhibit celebrating the community's agrarian past called Agricultural Roots.

"The grist mill formed the nucleus of the city and we grew out from there," said Karen VandenBrink, manager of heritage services for the city. "The exhibit starts out from our early origins and goes from there."

And it's a colourful past. Have you heard of the story of the Willow King, who pioneered a novel solution to riverbank erosion that was patented and shipped around North America?

Oliver Scheifele's revolutionary method of using willow branches to shore up the banks of waterways in 1921 might have been inspired by the willow trees he saw in Waterloo Park, said VandenBrink. He might have noticed how once a willow shoot was submerged in water it would quickly grow roots along its length and it would stabilize the earth around it.

Scheifele came up with the idea of using hundreds of those poles interwined to hold riverbanks in place. He quickly won contracts with big players like Dominion Public Works, Ontario Highways and Canadian Pacific. He also branched out into the United States, winning contracts from the U.S. government to monitor the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, before opening an office in Buffalo.

But the Great Depression seemed to affect his business like many others in 1931, and his enterprise began to struggle. He was down to working out of his own garage by 1933 and was fulfilling an order for London, Ont., to plant 4,000 willow shoots along the Thames River when tragedy struck.

His wife became worried when he didn't show up for dinner on the night of April 18, 1933. She might have even had something special planned for his 50th birthday.

She found him dead, and the official cause of death was suicide by gun shot to the head.

Unfortunately, what could have been one of Waterloo's most interesting green businesses is now lost to the sands of time. His widow sold his business along with his patents, and his legacy was lost.

VandenBrink said the only remnants of his business might be the willow trees that still populate Waterloo Park. "We think there are definite connections to the willows around Silver Lake," she said.

While that provides some dramatic tension to the story of Waterloo's agricultural roots, there is still one business that continues to carry the city's banner into the world - Ontario Seed Company.

Founded in 1906 by Otto Herald as the Pioneer Canadian Seed Growers in Waterloo, it was bought by Jacob Uffelman in 1916 and his family continues to run the business at its King Street location in uptown Waterloo. "They still operate it today, and it still is a huge business," said VandenBrink.

It is still one of the largest wholesale seed suppliers in Canada, she said, as Ontario Seed Company ships out more than 40 million packets of seeds a year.

If you want to see why it's been so successful for more than 100 years, the exhibit has some of the early advertising and seed catalogue's that helped establish the roots of the company.

To call it artwork would be an understatement as vibrant colours and mouthwatering vegetables dominate the original advertising. It is interesting to see the use of language used in the print ads, loaned to the City of Waterloo for display. All of them have words like "massive" and "giant" implying the high yields that farmers would get. "Everything is luscious looking," said VandenBrink.

The exhibit Agricultural Roots is on until Mar. 1 at the museum located at Conestoga Mall. To see its special holiday hours visit www.waterloo.ca/museum.

______________________

Ida Frey Martin Bauman 1900 - 1952

As president of the Floradale sewing circle during World War II, Ida watched for sales of suitable material to make clothing for relief. She also began buying in bulk, because that was cheaper. She then sold this material to other women in the area. Thus the idea of the "Cutting Room" was born, and Ida nurtured it through its early years.

Change and Tragedy

Ida was born on November 21, 1900, the first child of Jacob and Christian (Bauman) Frey. Since Jacob was not a robust man, the family moved to Elmira at a time when few Mennonites lived in town. Illness and death stalked the family at every turn. Ida was a sickly child and, as a result, attended school very little. Several children did not survive infancy. More difficult, however, were the deaths of 16-year-old Lydia, a boy by drowning, and another child and their father who both died of tuberculosis within a week of each other. The Frey family was Old Order Mennonite. In 1921 Ida married John Martin, also from the Old Order community. In 1924 the conference congregation built a new meetinghouse in Elmira, and regularly held revival meetings. In the spring of 1926 John and Ida attended the revival meetings held by C. F. Derstine, experienced conversion, and subsequently joined the Elmira Mennonite Church. In the fall of the same year, John was fatally electrocuted. Ida did not receive much consolation from their families who considered the accident as punishment for their apostacy. Ida suffered a great deal of insomnia after the death of her husband. She began writing poetry during the sleepless hours of the night. In later years, people frequently came to talk to her in times of grief. Having passed through the valley of the shadow of death herself, they knew she would understand their loneliness and grief. In 1929 Ida married Emanuel Bauman, a widower with three teenage children. They lived on the western outskirts of Floradale, and eventually transferred their membership from the Elmira Mennonite congregation to Floradale. After her marriage to Emanuel, Ida gave birth to two daughters.

Service in the Church and Community

The church and her activities were very special to Ida. Although she did not have much formal schooling, she read and wrote well. Her daughters remember that she spent much time preparing her lessons. In Sunday school she taught the older women, but she also taught children at summer Bible school. She was often asked to write obituaries and essays. The essays were the women's contribution to the Sunday evening services. The sewing circle was a very important avenue of service for Ida. During the war years she was president of the group at Floradale. Carol and Gladys remember that during the busiest time, their parents would put the sewing machine in the back of the car and take it to church - sometimes twice a week. Ida purchased suitable material at sales in Elmira, Waterloo and Kitchener. She would buy two or three thousand dollars worth and resell it to neighbouring circles. Buying in quantity was cheaper as well. Ida was also involved in large-scale relief canning. Ida was on the Ontario District executive at this time, and her efforts finally resulted in the opening of the cutting room. As a member of the cutting room committee, she placed orders through a store in Floradale and continued to do this until her illness no longer permitted her to leave the house. The Ontario Sewing Circles purchased a cutting machine in 1942 so they could supply the women with pre-cut garments. At that time Mrs. Amos Gingerich made a room available in her house to serve as a cutting room, and Barbara Eby operated the cutting machine. This gave the women more time to sew rather than spending it on cutting, and also helped to regulate the styles and types of garments. Ida's work on the sewing circle committee at Floradale was not only a means of getting a great deal of work done at the time of much need, but served as a model for the younger women. Leah Brubacher recalls Ida's encouragement when Leah was a young mother and not always able to attend sewing circle. Ida assured her that the day would come when the children were no longer at home and then there would be plenty of time to devote to sewing circle, and so it was! To Leah, Ida was a good example, and she followed in her footsteps. Carol described her mother as "not a well person but very strong." She had several major illnesses, but they seemed to leave her strengthened. Her last one was cancer, which caused her premature death on May 26, 1952. With the work of the cutting room so dear to her heart, she instructed her daughters to give a sizeable portion of her estate to that fledgling institution; She had also told her daughters not to mourn too long as she felt she had done after the death of her first husband. Life goes on, and Ida's life goes on in the lives of those she touched.
