Mr. Isaac Groff, who is the oldest cattle dealer on the Elmira market, was born near Waterloo. From his youth he was a good judge of pure-bred and fat cattle and is still conceded to be one of the best informed dealers in Ontario. He has been identified with the Elmira market for a quarter of a century and has bought and shipped an immense number of fat cattle, stockers and sheep. Some of the best fat cattle produced in Ontario, pass through his hands. He covers a large field and makes frequent shipments from Waterloo, St. Jacobs and Alma, besides those he is constantly making to and from Elmira. Although Mr. Groff lives on a farm, some distance west of Elmira, he operates from Elmira and is regarded as one of her most useful business men.

Martha Snyder Bechtel 1893 - 1945

Martha grew up in the midst of congregational activities and when the women in Ontario began organizing, Martha was prepared to fill a role among them.

Wanner Women Organize
Martha Snyder was born on February 5, 1893 to Absolom B. and Mary (Groff) Snyder near Hespeler, Ontario. Her father was ordained a minister shortly before her birth. Church activities and evangelistic meetings in particular, received a great deal of time and energy in the Snyder family. The Snyders were members of the Wanner Mennonite Church. As the oldest in the family, Martha was unable to attend high school, but in the fall of 1913, she enrolled in the academy in Goshen, Indiana. Nelson Bechtel from Hespeler was studying music at Goshen also. Although Martha probably was at Goshen only one year, she was introduced to the wider Mennonite world of mission interest. On December 1, 1915 the Wanner women met at the Absolom Snyder home to organize a women's missionary society. Someone recalled that at this meeting Mary Snyder was in charge, and that Martha coached her mother on how to go about electing officers and voting on other matters. No doubt, the initiative for this venture came from Mabel Groh, a member at Wanner, and whose story is told elsewhere in this book, but it may be that Martha had also received inspiration for women's work at Goshen. At the 1915 meeting, Ada Bechtel was elected president, Martha was on the cutting committee, and Mother Snyder on the visiting committee. At the second organizational meeting in 1916, Martha was elected president, but by that time she was Mrs. Nelson Bechtel. During that first year they sewed for the Kitchener orphanage and supplied mouth wash for the soldiers. Those were the years of World War I.. Martha sometimes also acted spontaneously. The family recalls that one Sunday morning they were on their way to church. Seeing some boys at the river fishing, the Bechtels stopped, and Martha invited them to come to Sunday school. It was also Martha and Mabel Groh who drove around the community with horse and buggy inviting people to church. Daughter Dorothy recalls that Martha made up Christmas baskets for needy families. Whether this was a project of the church or a personal one, she no longer remembers. Daughter Ruth remembers taking food across the fields to an ailing neighbour. When the Mennonite refugees from Russia came in the 1920s, Martha also did special things for them.

The Ontario Women Organize

In the winter of 1936.... vice president, Martha very ably presided over the meeting and was elected president. Martha was serving as president when World War II broke out, and the women began to do a great deal of sewing for relief. Martha did not always feel up to the tasks which her office required, but she was very capable and could do what she set about to do. In 1941 she resigned due to illness. She died on March 12, 1945 at the age of 52. Edna Bowman remembers Martha as very outgoing and friendly. She was tall, blonde, with a striking bearing. When the women were looking for someone to serve on their committee, she was a likely candidate.

George Bechtel

Farmer, animal lover, singer, husband, teacher, father, gardener, train enthusiast, transportation advocate, and cyclist, George passed from this life on May 3, 2019, aged 86 years.

He was the beloved husband of Grace (Schott), father of Trevor (Susan Hunsberger), and Gini (Tamara Shantz). He was the son of Nelson (1968) and Martha (Snyder, 1945) and stepson of Margaret (McTavish, 1985), and the brother of Janet (2013, Tom Inglis 1994), Mary Alma (2010, Charles Goodrich, 1992), Ruth, who survives (John Hess, 2007), and Dorothy (2010, Merlin Grove, 1962).

George spent the first part of his life working on his father's farm, established in 1816. His love of animals began here, particularly as he nursed his badly injured peacock Birdy back to health from a near fatal attack, and related to the dairy cattle with his characteristic gentleness. George taught at the secondary level and community college level for 29 years forming lifelong relationship with many students and colleagues. In retirement he volunteered at Doon Heritage Crossroads and researched early farm gardens building on his lifelong vocation as a gardener. George introduced many people in Waterloo County to the beauty of the dried strawflower producing many blooms for sale at the farmer's market and for Grace's bouquets.

George had a sought after tenor voice, singing in choirs and quartets\endash notably the Junior Farmers Quartet and Renaissance Singers\endash and leading singing and soloing throughout the Mennonite community. He was both a lover of British cars and an advocate of alternatives to the automobile. He was known publicly as an advocate of passenger rail publishing regular articles and letters to the editor and planning yearly family train trips. The family had two dogs, Avey and Bo, after which George took up weekend sitting for National Service dogs. Most recently George and Grace welcomed Mabel the cat into their home. George was rejuvenated by summer family camping trips, being outside and cooking on the hibachi. He was also an avid cyclist and recorded his mileage daily. He travelled the circumference of the earth more than two and a half times on short and long bicycle trips in Ontario. Late in life he suffered a significant bicycle accident and subsequently became interested in the results of concussions.

A longtime interest in family and local history took shape in the Society for the Preservation of the Samuel Bechtel Burial Ground, a registered non-profit he founded with others to protect the site were Mennonites first gathered 200 years ago.

George will be remembered by many relatives and friends.
