Death of John E. Brubacher

John E. Brubacher, one of the oldest pioneers of Waterloo County, passed away to the great beyond at 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, the 24st inst., at his country home near Waterloo. Deceased had been ill for about three weeks with stomach trouble. This with the infirmities of old age gradually weakened him and his end was unexpected. He had reached the ripe old age of 80 years and 15 days. The funeral takes place at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, August 27th, from his late residence, 2 miles northwest of Waterloo, to the Mennonite church, Berlin, for service and interment.

Historic Building:
In 1846, John Brubacher married Magdalena Musselman, settling on Lot 25, German Company Tract. Their son John E. Brubacher married in the late 1800s and built a house on the farm.. John E. Brubacher had a daughter who married into the Groff family. The Groff family eventually inherited the house and lived there until it was passed on to their daughter, who married Stanley Schweitzer. In 1957 the Schweitzer family sold the farm to the Waterloo College Associate Faculties, which would soon become the University of Waterloo. In 1972 the Graduate Student Association leased the house. [from The Record, December 22, 2007]

Historic Building:
Beautifully situated on a hill overlooking Columbia Lake on the north campus of the University of Waterloo, the home was built in 1850 of granite fieldstone.
No two of the structure's four elevations are alike. The one to the south is the most interesting. A noteworthy feature is a large verandah spanning the length of the building on the south facade. The gables on both the east and west elevations exhibit return eaves and the attic, on each side, is lit by two small four paned windows. These features are typical of the Mennonite version of the plain Georgian style.
A fire in 1968 seriously damaged the structure's interior and prompted the restoration of the home. The generous financial support of the University of Waterloo, the Ontario Heritage Foundation and the Waterloo Regional Heritage Foundation allowed the restoration to be completed by 1975. The basement now contains a meeting room, the focal point of which is a large fireplace. The ground floor houses a furnished museum depicting the interior of a Pennsylvania-German farmhouse. The second storey provides accommodation for the Curator.1a

During the last months of his life he suffered a great deal from gangrene on one of his feet, and although the pain was at times almost unbearable he was a patient sufferer and waited and longed for the hour that would relieve him from all pain and sorrow, and we have the hope that he is now safe with Jesus.

Erb Street (David Eby) Mennonite Church

Early services which began around 1837 were held in private homes. Land at the corner of Erb Street and Hallman Road, where the present-day cemetery is located, was donated by David Eby Sr. on July 14, 1851; a red brick church known as David Eby's Church was built in the same year. The first minister in the new church was Jacob M. Oberholtzer who served from 1852 to 1874. He was followed by Elias Schneider (1874-1889), Jonas Snider (1892-1900), Newton Weber (1921-1923), and Noah Hunsberger (1923-1929).

Due to a difference of opinion in the David Eby congregation, Sunday School classes were held at first in a private home, that of Levi Groff, beginning in 1887. The dissension which resulted culminated in a division in the church in 1889; the minister, Elias Schneider, and the deacon, Menno S. Shantz, left the church and joined with the Old Order Mennonites of Woolwich Township. The following year, 1890, saw the commencement of "Edification Meetings", which were held in the homes of members of the David Eby congregation. These meetings later became the Young People's Bible Meetings.

By the beginning of the twentieth century, it was recognized that the church building was either in need of repair or in need of complete replacement. Consideration was given to building a new church on the same site or on a site on King Street North. A decision was made to accept from Samuel S. Snider the donation of a parcel of land which was also on Erb Street, but nearer town. Excavation of the foundation for the new church began in the Spring of 1902. A dedication service was held on August 17, 1902. A parsonage was built in 1929 on land donated by Herbert Snider, the son of Samuel Snider. The church building was renovated and enlarged in 1949-1950; a dedication service was held on April 9, 1950. Further renovations were made in 1974.

Notes:

Koch. - Forrest Koch, son of David R. and Lovina Koch, was born near Conestoga, Ont., May 28, 1914; died at his home in Elmira, Ont., Aug. 19, 1934; aged 20 y. 2 m. 21 d. He is survived by his parents, 2 brothers (Elvin and Howard of Elmira), 3 sisters (Mrs. Henry Seiling of Elmira, Mrs. Noah Zeigler of West Montrose, and Lenora at home). One brother (Manly) predeceased him 7 years ago at the age of 15, now Forrest too at the age of 20 years has passed on to his eternal home. Just why two such promising young boys should be called from their loved ones so early in life we cannot understand now, but God knows best. Both were Christian young men; Bro. Forrest had accepted Christ 7 years ago and remained faithful until he was called home after an illness of 5 days, although he had not been in the best of health for some time. One of his last wishes was that he might soon be drinking from the fountain of living water in heaven.

"Weep not for me nor wish me back,
I now from pain am free;
And in my Jesus' arms I rest
Where I have longed to be."

Funeral services were held Aug. 21, at Elmira Mennonite Church by Bros. Moses Brubacher and Elmer D. Snider. Interment in adjoining Cemetery.

'A fine, upstanding gentleman in all things'
Former Waterloo North MPP and founder of funeral home, Edward Good dies at 83.

Edward R. Good, the founder of a Waterloo funeral home and a former MPP, died Thursday. He was 83. Good was born and grew up in Kitchener. He attained the rank of second Lieutenant with the Royal Canadian Artillery during the second World War, began the Edward R. Good Funeral Home in 1946 and served as the Liberal MPP for Waterloo North from 1967 to 1977. "I thought the world of Ed Good," said former Ontario Liberal leader Robert Nixon. "He was a very effective spokesman on all provincial issues, and was very well respected by the people in all parties," said Nixon. "He was a pretty solid citizen, and I found him to be an outstanding man to work with And he was always a lot of fun - a very enjoyable man to be with." Good won three elections with relative ease, and was the Liberal critic on municipal affairs for most of his years in the opposition benches. Long-time friend, Jim Breithaupt, a former Kitchener Centre MPP, said Good made a strong, lasting impression on just about everyone he met. "Ed made himself an expert on municipal law. He started fresh and learned on the job, and he did an exceptionally fine job," said Breithaupt. "I was very impressed with his strength of conviction, and the impression he made on people. He was a fine, upstanding gentleman in all things, and a very effective MPP for Waterloo North." Good purchased and renovated the building at 171 King St. S in Waterloo and turned it into a funeral home - a business now run by his son, Paul Good and long-time business partner Jim Erb. "Whenever anybody asks about Ed, the thing that comes to mind first and foremost was his integrity," said Erb. "He was a gentleman through and through, in every aspect of his life, and in the way he greeted people, responded to people and respected people." Until about two years ago, Good retained an active interest in the business, and kept an office at the funeral home, he said. Through the years, Good was also president of the Waterloo Lions Club, president of the Central Ontario Funeral Directors Association, and a member of Branch 530 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Waterloo. Good was predeceased by his wife, Rhea, in 1997. He's survived by three sons, Paul, of Waterloo, David of Victoria, B.C. and John of Toronto, as well as five grandchildren.
