Notes:

Rev. Jacob Hallman, "the eldest in the family, was born November 18th, 1803. In 1822 he, in company with Mr. Lutz, walked to Canada and made Waterloo County, Ontario, his home for about two years, then he returned to his native state where he remained until the following spring when he and his father and family moved to Canada. Some time after his arrival he was married to Eva, daughter of Christian and Polly (Ruth) Strome (Then spelled Strohm). She was born September 9th, 1805, and died July 11th, 1886. Soon after their marriage they moved on their farm in Wilmot Township, about two and one-half miles north of New Dundee where they resided until their deaths. In 1837 he was called to the ministry of the Mennonite Church which body he served faithfully for over forty years. His sermons were always plain, practical, and accompanied with a strong appeal to the younger members of the congregation to live up to the teachings of the Scriptures. His great and only desire was that he might pass the rest of his days in the humble yet honorable service in the ministry of the Lord, to which he was so sincerely attached. He died March 23rd, 1878. His family consisted of six children"

HALLMAN.-March 23rd, in Waterloo Co., Ont., of dropsy, Pre. JACOB HALLMAN, aged 74 years, 5 months and 4 days. He served as minister 42 years. He was much beloved by his neighbors, his fellow-ministers, and the whole church. He had peace with God, the church and his fellow man. He was firmly grounded on the Rock and Chief Corner-stone, Jesus Christ. His walk and conversation were what he preached, humility. He bore his sufferings with patience, and leaves a sorrowing widow and three married children to mourn their loss. The entire church and his fellow-ministers also feel that they have sustained a severe loss, but they feel confident too, that their loss is his eternal gain. He was buried on the 25th at Blenheim burying-ground, where a large number of people were present. As he himself had requested, Bro. Amos S. Cressman preached at the house and Moses Bauman and George Schmidt at the meeting-house, from the text which he himself had selected, 2 Tim. 4:6-8. The hymn sung was also his own selection from the Skippack Hymn Book, Page 273,

How They Farmed Sixty Years Ago

…I can well remember when Noah Bechtel, uncle of John B. Bricker our genial corn borer inspector for Waterloo county, shot a large black grizzly bear in October, 1863. They had seen the bear eight miles north where there was a large bush and swamp, called Queen's Bush, where the farmers had their pigs to get acorns and beechnuts, which were plentiful. Mr. Bear came out sometimes to help them to butcher. We had no selects, a pig was a pig. One day a squad went after him but did not get him. Later in October he came trotting along through Wilmot township. Moses Bechtel and Christian Hallman were ploughing beside Noah Bechtel's cedar swamp when he came walking right up to them. They went in and Bechtel brought his rifle with him. They followed the bear's tracks for a mile from the swamp, through John Forler's swamp, then across the road into another 400 acre bush. John Forler hitched his carriage team into the democrat, drove to Petersburg, and brought a man up with a hound, and John Ernst Jr. came along with his bulldog. Wm. Miller put his hound on the trail and in a short time found Mr. Bruin sound asleep. Miller fired a shot and the bear came trotting through the swamp with the dogs after him. When he saw that he was surrounded it did not take him long to climb a tree. Noah Bechtel, with a well aimed shot, brought the bear down. …

LAID TO REST

Mrs. Enoch Ziegler's Funeral Was Held This Afternoon

WAS PROBABLY BERLIN'S OLDEST RESIDENT.

The death of Mrs. Enoch Ziegler has awakened a wide-spread interest in the city. She was a fine type of a Christian matron and the mother of a large and respected family children. She was noted tor her Christian virtues and graces, hence hundreds of sorrowing relatives and friends paid their last respects to her memory by attending her funeral, held at two o'clock to-day from the residence of Miss Elizabeth Ziegler, Irvin street.

She was the last member of the late Benjamin Hallman's family who came to Canada from Pennsylvania in the early twenties of last century. Mrs. Ziegler was born in Dumfries township, South Waterloo in 1824 and consequently had passed the 89th milestone of life. Had she lived until next Christmas she would have been the longest-lived member of her father's family. The distinction probably belongs to Mrs. Ziegler having been the oldest continuous resident of Berlin, she having resided here without a break for sixty-six years.

Mrs. Ziegler is survived by six sons and three daughters. The sons' names are Benjamin, of Berlin, John of Seattle, Wash. Albert of Melville, Sask.; Dr. Orlando H. of Toronto, Dr. Cyrus H. of London and Dilman of Woodstock. The daughters are: Mrs. J. R. Eden and Miss Eliabeth Ziegler of Berlin and Mrs. A. T. Boles of Leamington, Ont.

Also the deceased lady is survived by 26 grand-children and 22 great grandchildren.

The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. H. S. Hallman of this city, a nephew of the deceased.

The pall-bearers were four sons and two grand-sons, namely. Mr. Benjamin Ziegler of Berlin, Mr. Albert Ziegler of Melville, Sask.; Dr.O. H. Ziegler of Toronto and Dr. C. H Ziegler of Lorion and the grandsons

Mr. H. Leslie Stabler and Mr. George Ziegler of Berlin. After services at the house, the remains were conveyed to Mt. Hope cemetery and interred there beside those of her husband. May she rest in peace.

Wendell Hallman, "the youngest son of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Detweiler) Hallman, was born in North Dumfries Township, Waterloo County, Ontario, November 4th, 1827. His boyhood days were spent on his father's farm near Roseville. On February 13th, 1849, he was married to Nancy Schlichter who was born August 24th, 1829. Soon after their marriage they settled on a farm (The farm is now owned by Mr. Samuel Tohman) about a mile west of New Dundee, where they resided until March 20th, 1883, when they sold their farm and moved to Yale, Michigan, where he again purchased a farm and followed farming for several years but now lives retired. Nearly thirty years ago he was ordained to the ministry for the River Brethren (Dunkards) denomination, for which body he is still a diligent worker. As a minister he is well liked by his congregation and others, and his sermons are distinguished for the great amount of well-digested thought so vividly expressed in the plainest language, that no one hearing him preach can say, "I did not understand him," for all who wish to be taught out of the Word of God, will say, "Mr. Hallman's sermons are always Gospel-like and soul-cheering." In his habits he is very domestic."

Soon after their marriage they settled on a farm about a mile west of New Dundee, where they resided until March 20th, 1883, when they sold their farm and moved to Yale, Michigan, where he again purchased a farm and followed farming for several years when he retired. Nearly 45 years ago he was ordained to the ministry of the River Brethren (Dunkards) denomination, for which today he was a diligent worker. He was a thoughtful and practical preacher and endeavored to live the Gospel as he preached it. There was a family of 14 children of whom ten survive, namely, John, Yale; Benj. S., British Columbia; Rev. Henry S., Berlin; Wendell S., Chicago; Simeon, Toronto; Mrs. Philip Zeller, Mrs. Levi Dunnenworth, Mrs. Emanuel Gingerich, Mrs. Jos. Smith and Mrs. Isaiah Martin, all of Yale, Michigan. One brother, Rev. Benj.

THE LAST ROLL CALL

Death of Israel D. Bowman, County Clerk, and A. LaCourse, Senior Judge of the County. Benjamin Unger, an Old and Well Known Resident of the County Also Answers to the Summons of the Grim Reaper.

The past week has been eventful in the number of deaths of prominent persons in the County, including the County Clerk and Senior Judge.

BENJAMIN UNGER.

Mr. Benjamin Unger, one of the oldest native-born residents of the County passed quietly away on Sunday, August 30th, at Galt. Deceased had been ill for some time past and of late his demise had been hourly expected. He was a man who has had a varied experience during his career. Born on a farm near Roseville, he received a good education, and when about twenty years of age he came to Galt and started out in life with Messrs. Forbes in the dry goods business. He afterwards bought out an interest in the Golden Lion dry goods store and then went to Guelph and engaged in the grocery and dry goods business. He also went into the auctioneering business. After giving this up he journeyed to California, where he operated a flour mill, and from thence he went to Australia. Upon his return to Canada he engaged in business in many towns, among them being Berlin, Paris, Coburg, Listowel, St. Thomas, Pt. Elgin, Alviston and Doon. In Berlin he remained nine years in the brokerage and private banking business. Some few years ago he returned to Galt and engaged in the real estate business until during the last winter, when he was appointed to the staff of excise officers by the Dominion government. Since that time he has been gradually failing until Sunday, when the angel of death called him to his eternal home. At one time a wealthy man, he died comparatively poor. He was twice married, his second wife, a daughter of Mr. Gustave Ante, surviving him. He leaves four children, all by his second wife, two boys and two girls, Adam, Reginald, Gwendoline and Camilla. He also leaves two brothers and three sisters, John, in Berlin, Moses Clemens, Michigan. Deceased was an honorable, trustworthy man, respected by all who knew him. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon to the R.C. cemetery. Galt Reporter.

INJURIES CAUSED BY AUTO FATAL TO 88 YEAR OLD MAN

Moses Unger Succumbs Few Hours After Being Struck By Motor Car; Driver Absolved Of Blame

Moses Unger, 134 Church street, died last evening at his home on Church street of injuries and shock received when he was struck down at 2.40 yesterday afternoon on King street by a car driven by Roy Burns, 4 Grand street, Guelph. The deceased was in his 85th year. Mr. Unger's eyesight was poor and he was proceeding across King street near Norton's store when the accident occurred. The car was travelling along King street towards Galt when the aged man was struck. Eye witnesses of the accident state that the driver of the car was not to blame for the accident as he was driving very slowly when he hit Unger. The unfortunate man apparently did not see the approaching machine and stepped directly into its path. He sustained a bad gash on the forehead and other bruises and a bad shaking up. His advanced years and the injuries sustained are said to have caused his death. It is not likely that the driver of the death dealing car will be held and an inquest is unlikely. Following the accident Dr. A. Oaks attended the injured man. The late Mr. Unger has lived in Preston for many years and was a well known figure. He was one of the town's oldest men and easily recalled many early happenings of the district with great vividness. He had been living retired for many years at his home on Church street with his wife, who is now 86 years of age. At one time he was the government fruit inspector here. He is survived by his wife and two sons, John Unger, of Plum Coulee, Man. and Joseph Unger, of California: also ten daughters, Mrs. Ellen Rickert, at Kitchener; Mrs. Aaron Hilborn, of Galt; Mrs. C. G. Ott and Mrs. Hannah Rickert, of Buffalo; Mrs. W. Hurst, of Winnipeg: Mrs, H. R. James, of Vancouver; Mrs. W. Ford, Beattie, Wash.; Mrs. James Thomas, of Preston; Miss V. Unger, Toronto and Mrs. T. F. Wilkins, Chesley. The funeral will be held at 3.30 Thursday afternoon from the United church and interment will take place in the Hagey cemetery.

Roseville United Brethren in Christ Church

Although early meetings are reported to have begun in the Roseville area as early as 1860, it was not until 1881 that Rev. George Backus of New Dundee came to the area to conduct regular services in Roseville homes on Sunday evenings. The first services were held in the home of Mrs. Jacob Bricker; there were seven charter members in the group. Shortly after this time, c.1884, the present church building, which was originally of frame and dates to 1852 when it belonged to a Lutheran Congregation, was bought from the Wesleyan Methodists who had acquired it earlier from the Lutherans. The first United Brethren in Christ pastors after Rev. Backus were Revs. David B. Sherk and Jacob. B. Bowman. The congregation remained on a circuit until 1969 when the connection ended with New Dundee and Roseville became independent. A parsonage was purchased in 1971 and on September 9, 1973 a sod-breaking ceremony was held for the Christian Education addition. Dedication services were held on October 6, 1974.
A split in the United Brethren in Christ in 1889 resulted in two groups calling themselves by that name. One group joined the Congregationals in 1906. The other group remained United Brethren in Christ until November 16, 1946 when most congregations of the United Brethen in Christ organization joined with the Evangelical Church to form the Evangelical United Brethren Church - later to join with the United Church on January 1, 1968. This congregation is one of three United Brethren in Christ Churches in Waterloo County today. The others are Stanley Park in Kitchener, and New Dundee. The headquarters of the church is in Huntington, Indiana.
Although the building was originally of frame construction, remodelling and renovations have resulted in the church building of today.

"In 1882, Isaac Hallman was ordained minister of the new Mennonite Church in Kurtzville and served there until his death. He served also in Maryborough in 1901. The last Mennonite burial in Kurtzville seems to have been Nancy (Biehn) Hallman in 1909. To commemorate Mennonites in Canada for 200 years, a stone monument was built in Vineland, Ontario in1986. One stone is from this house and bears the words - Listowel, Isaac Hallman Farm."

"At the Conference in September 1864, it was reported that one family resided in Wallace. A preacher was appointed to visit and preach every eight weeks. By the year 1868 there were at least six or eight Mennonite families scattered in Wallace and Howick near the Perth-Huron county line. These families gathered in private homes and ministers from Waterloo County served them. In 1871 a meeting house wasbuilt on Conc. 6.

Isaac Weber was ordained as minister in 1869 and served faithfully until his death in 1892. Levi Weber was ordained Deacon in 1869. He moved to Waterloo about 1884, residing at St. Jacobs. A few other families moved in and some were added in the locality and the church flourished. The membership at this time has been estimated as many as 50. A Union SundaySchool was conducted with apparent success.

In the 1870's the church was evenly divided by the Mennonite Brethren in Christ division, and they alternated their meetings with the new group.The original Mennonite Brethren in Christ group finally came into possession of the property. The remainder of the old group again used dwellings for the meetings. The work became more and more difficult and several families moved to stronger congregations for the purpose of keeping their families in the church. To save the situation another church was built in Kurtzville.

Isaac Hallman was called to the ministry about 1882, but the number of members became fewer. About 1902 the building was sold and proceeds given to the Berlin church for building purposes."

"Mr. Hallman's Sudden Death.

Mr. Isaac Hallman, a well known farmer of Wallace, died very suddenly of heart disease, at his home on Monday last. He had been treated for heart trouble for some time but was thought to be a good deal better of late, and had in fact been in town a few days before and looked, so far as looks went, the picture of health. He went out to the barn to feed stock on Monday, and not returning when the family were ready to sit down to dinner, his son went out to find him and found him dead. He had apparently fallen back while engaged in feeding some of the stock and life was quite extinct. He leaves quite a large family of grown up sons and daughters, two of them married daughters Mrs. Chris Horn and Mrs. Geo Dipple living in town. The funeral took place yesterday to the Kurtzville cemetery, and was largely attended. Mr. Hallman had been a hard working and successful farmer and intended shortly to retire from the farm. He was in the 61st year of his life."

FATAL ACCIDENT.--On Monday forenoon the village was thrown into a a state of excitement by the occurrence of one of the saddest accidents Dundee has seen for many days. Mr. Moses Hunsberger in the morning left home a hale and hearty man,leaving his family in the usual good spirits, but was taken back at noon & stiffened icy corpse. He had taken a daughter to a farmer near Ayr and was returning home, when, about 11.30 as he was driving down Benjamin street, opposite Rev. E. Gruetzner's, the front axle broke. The buggy dropped striking" the horse's heel, and the infuriated beast. dashed madly down the street turning past Poth's shop, dragging the buggy and its unfortunate occupant. It sharply turned Chipman's corner towards the black bridge. This turn, so short and made at a break-neck speed, hurled Mr. Hunsberger head-first against the frozen bank. He was at once carried into Poth's shop and Dr. Miliar was immediately summoned. All assistance was in vain, however. He showed no signs of life except a light breathing until shortly after one o'clock when he expired. The family had promptly been called. His wife arrived in time to see her husband breathe his last. He leaves a widow and 5 children, 2 sons and 3 daughters. He was about 56 years old and died a member of the Mennonites. Much sympathy is expressed for the bereaved family.

Gradually the men and women who came here when conditions were absolutely in a raw state in the Didsbury district and by their hard work and unselfish giving of themselves lay down the foundations for a prosperous community by passing out of sight, and with the passing of each one of these old pioneers leave a gap amongst those of us who came in the early years which seemed almost impossible to fill.

It is our unfortunate duty this week to again record the death of one of those old pioneers in the person of Mr. William Hunsperger a man by his life of unswervingly loyalty to the to the district and community and his integrity and outstanding faith in the better things have left us an example that will be hard to follow.

Mr. Hunsperger, although of quiet disposition was always cherry and had a good word for everyone. He came to this district 28 years ago when there were mighty few settlers scattered over a large territory and consequently above he and Mrs. Hunsperger knew what real pioneering meant in the last great west. But through good times and bad they never gave up and they always gave a helping hand wherever they saw the need of it. For some years Mister Hunsperger was president of the Didsbury Agricultural Society and was also a very valuable counsellor, being one of the first to be elected to that position when the town was incorporated. He also held the position of J. P. During the war and was postmaster in the spring of 1912, which position he held until sickness over took him.

Deceased was born near New Dundee, Ontario, and 1816, being a little over 76 years of age. He was married in 1868 to Miss Catherine Schluchter from which Union three sons and two daughters were born, Allan, Abner and Alvin, of Didsbury and Mrs. E. Sherrick, Didsbury and Mrs. M, Ryckman, Chilliwack, B. C. and 21 grandchildren.

There were ten brothers and sisters of Mr. Hunsperger all are now dead with the exception of Mr. Ben Hunsperger of Chilliwack, B. C. and Mr. Aaron Hunsperger, of New Dundee, Ontario.

Mr. Hunsperger took a very active interest in the church work right up to the time of his death being a member of that Evangelical Church for over 50 years during which time he has several Offices, amongst them being trustee, class teacher and Sunday school superintendent.

The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon last and was the largest fitted ever took place in Didsbury, crowds of people being unable to get into the services at either the house or the church and, and the very large display a beautiful wreaths and bouquets testified silently eloquently to the esteem in which Mr. Hunsperger was held. Rev. Mr. Dengis, pastor of the Evangelical Church, had charge of the services assisted by Rev. Mr. Gowdie, Reverend Mr. Traub, and Reverend Mr. Bender. Reverend Mr. Gowdie, a very old friend of the family, preached the sermon at the church while M. Dengis spoke briefly at the home and church. Interment the place in the Didsbury Cemetery.

Mrs. Hunsperger senior and the family have the sincerest sympathy of the whole District in their loss of a loving husband and kind father and the district Mourns the passage of a wise counsellor and kind friend.

Flowers and wreaths were received from the following, R. B. Bennett, Calgary, large wreath, Geo. Cloakey, Calgary, spray Mr. and Mrs. Otto and Mr. and Mrs. Harderer, Cremona, spray, Mr. and Mrs. Ridd, Botteril, wreath, Mr. and Mrs. B.

______________


Menno H. Hallmann, Warden of the County of Waterloo, died on Sunday in his residence near Roseville. He was stricken by influenza in the autumn of 1898 and had been in poor health ever since. He was born May 15, 1844, was one of the best-known farmers in the County and was very involved with the cattle trade. For several years, he had been a member of the County Council, and a year ago, was named Warden, an office he very seldom exercized, because of his illness. His widow is a sister of Mr. S. Groff of Berlin. She, as well as three sons and two daughters, survive him. The burial took place yesterday, on Wednesday, at the Hallmann Cemetery near Roseville. The news of Mr. Hallmann's death reached Roseville on Sunday at the hour when the funeral service for Daniel D. Knechtel, another respected citizen of the area, was taking place.

M. HALLMAN.

A short distance further east down the road, and we come to the home of the above named gentleman. Mr. Hallman has lived here nearly all his life, and has for a number of years been one of the most extensive cattle buyers in North Dumfries. He is also a Justice of the Peace and a member of the county council, and his constituents look upon him as one of the honorable and worthy members of that body. He buys thousands of cattle annually, many of which he fattens and fits for the English market, and at the time of my visit he had thirty-four head of fine animals on band. His farm of 350 acres can not be surpassed by any other of like extent in the Dominion. Mr. Hallman is seldom found at home during the day, being either on the road buying cattle or attending to his official duties as member of the county council. He is a very busy man 365 days in the year.

Across the way on another part of the farm lives his son, E. J. Hallman, also a practical young farmer. This farm is also noted for its fine horses, and while on the latter place I was shown a handsome beast, "Dash wood," a two-year-old, and a pacer from Billy Clay, the dam having a record of 2:22 On this farm an average of 1,500 bushels of wheat annually are raised. Both Mr. Hallman and his son are members of the Farmer's Institute. They take a deep interest in any subject that has for its purpose the maintenance of a practical system of farming and one that has a tendency to encourage the farming community in general. That they are amply capable of offering valuable suggestions on farming will convince the skeptic that it is the case if he will make a personal inspection of their large and well managed estate.
