Funeral of the Late Aaron Stager [City of Cambridge Archives - no date or publication info of the obit]

The large number of citizens and friends who turned out to attend the funeral of the late Aaron F. Stager on Saturday testified to the esteem in which he was held in the community. The service which was conducted by Rev. W. O. B---[illegible] assisted by Rev. W. H. Harvey of Waterloo and Capt. Howlett of the S. A. [Salvation Army] of Kitchener were most impressive. As the merchants closed their place of business from two to four there was a large representation of the business men of the town as well as the school board of which he was a member, and also the council as well as hundreds of citizens. The floral tributes were many and came from private individuals as well as the various organizations, a beautiful bouquet of mums being sent by the school children. The Salvation Army band was present and led the funeral procession. The pall bearers were: -- R. J. Phin[?], O. M. Schnitz [?, Wellington Mc..?, J. B. Darwin, J. A. Beattie and A. A. Panabaker.

Death of A. F. Stager [City of Cambridge Archives - no date or newspaper name. G. E. Hudson, Editor and Proprietor]

Mr. Aaron F. Stager passed away yesterday evening about six o'clock. The end was not unexpected for he had been ill for months with a malignant disease, though it is only during the past month that he has been confined to his bed, his indomitable will power keeping him up during the summer. The late Mr. Stager was the son of the late Henry Stager and was born in Waterloo County sixty one years ago. As a young man he served his apprenticeship as a machinist in the Karch foundry. He afterwards spent a couple of years in Sarnia, but with that exception he has been a resident of Hespeler and vicinity all his life. For the past twenty six years he has conducted a furniture and undertaking business here, and his integrity, and his good business dealings made him many friends. Apart from his business, too, he was one of the best liked men in town, a good companion on the bowling green, or wherever he might be. He was one of the foremost among the merchants in espousing any cause for the town's advancement. As a member of the School Board he was invaluable and as chairman of the property committee he spent days and weeks on the job while the new addition was being built, and superintended the laying out of the lawns around the school. It is questionable if another citizen could be found who would devote as much time to the work of the school board as the late Mr. Stager did during his term of office. But his work in assisting to make Hespeler beautiful will carry his name down with the history of Hespeler. Some three years ago the Parks Board turned over three or four lots in "Corktown" to the council to re-sell as the board had as much land as they could look after. This had been a dump heap for years and when the foundation for the school was built, considerable of the earth was put on the lots to cover up the rubbish. It was shortly after this that the town put the lots up for sale, and Mr. Stager bought them. Since then they have been turned into a small but extremely pretty park. With Mr. Stager's natural retiring disposition he did not desire that the park should bear his name, but called it Laurel Park. Beautiful flower beds, and a rustic band stand as well as stretches of fine lawn make the park an oasis for the people of the section. Several other lots in the rear were acquired by Mr. Stager, and here tennis courts were laid out, and there is a place for the kiddies of the section to play ball. All this was done by Mr. Stager at his own expense, with the exception of some financial assistance for the band stand from the Women's Institute. He has been for a great many years a member of the Methodist Church, being a member of the Quarterly Board and the Vice President of the Brotherhood. As a citizen and as a man the late Aaron Stager had few equals. Besides his sorrowing wife, he leaves to mourn his loss, one daughter, Mrs. E. L. Foster, and two sons, Charles and Harry all of Hespeler. Two sisters, Mrs. Jacob Werlich of Brantford, and Mrs. Wm. Werlich of Preston, and three brothers, John of Mannheim, and Samuel and Arnold of Waterloo Tp., survive. The funeral will be held from his late residence, Galt. St. on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m.

Death of Aaron F. Stager.

When a young man he followed the occupation of farming, being employed by the late James Phin. He learned the machinist trade which he followed for eleven years and in 1897 purchased the furniture and undertaker business from the Guenther Furniture Co.

He was married in 1894 and is survived by his wife, two sons and one daughter, Mrs. Louis Foster, Charles and Harry all of Hespeler; also three brothers and two sisters, John of New Dundee, Samuel of near Hespeler, Arnold on the old home- stead.

Brubacher. - Katherine Beechy was born Sept. 5, 1841. On July 22, 1860, she was married to David Brubacher. This union was blessed with 9 children, of whom 8 are still living; also 38 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild. From early youth she was a member of the Mennonite Church and always attended services when she could, but being subject to attacks of gall stones, there was many a time in the last 10 or 12 years when she could not leave home. She had a very active mind and when not suffering too much, always found great pleasure in reading her Bible and the Gospel Herald. She bore her sufferings patiently, but had no desire to recover from her late illness which was a complication of rheumatism and pneumonia. She died Mar. 20, 1915; aged 73 y. 6 m. 15 d. Her husband preceded her about 10 years. Funeral services March 22, at the Conestoga Church, conducted by Ezra Martin and Tobias Martin. Interment in adjoining cemetery.

Wambold, Abram H. (1857-1934)

Abram H. Wambold: deacon of the Mount View Mennonite Church near High River, Alberta, and of the West Zion Mennonite Church near Carstairs, Alberta, was born 20 November 1857 in Waterloo County, Ontario, and died at his home near Carstairs, Alberta, on 8 May 1934. He married Angeline Erb on 19 February 1884. They were the parents of nine children. Angeline died in 1913, and Abram Wambold married Elizabeth Shantz, the widow of Bishop Israel Shantz , on 17 March 1915. After Abram Wambold's death in 1934, Elizabeth married her third husband, Joe Weber.

The Wambold family came west in April 1901 and settled on a homestead which was a considerable distance from High River, but very close to a railway built from Calgary to Lethbridge in 1911 which resulted in establishment of the new towns of Aldersyde and Mazeppa - the latter directly south of their house. The Wambolds, in spite of the distance involved, were among those who formed the Mount View Mennonite Church near High River later in 1901. After the organizational meeting of the new congregation, Abram Wambold was chosen, by lot, and ordained as Deacon. Abram and Angeline Wambold's home was always open to other pioneers coming into the district. That spirit of hospitality was interrupted by Angeline's death in 1913, but restored after Abram's second marriage to Elizabeth Shantz. Together they faithfully discharged the responsibilities incumbent on the office of Deacon, but declining membership, economic hardships, and Elizabeth's links to the West Zion Mennonite Church near Carstairs, resulted in a move to Carstairs in 1924 or perhaps in 1925. They continued to serve as deacons in that congregation until the time of Abram Wambold's death in 1934.

He was married to Angeline Erb Feb. 19, 1884. To this union 9 children were born, 7 of whom survive. His wife died in 1913.

He also served as conference secretary in the early years of the conference. He was married to Elizabeth Shantz March 17, 1915, who is left to mourn. Besides his 7 children there were 7 step-children who mourn the loss of a father. He was ill only a few days and fell asleep in Jesus quietly. From his testimony we need not mourn as those who have no hope. Funeral services were held at the Carstairs church on the 9th, Bro. H. J. Harder in charge. Text: "I have fought a good fight." On the 10th services were held at the Aldersyde church, with Bro. I. Miller in charge and there the body was laid to rest in the family plot.

Breslau (Cressman) Mennonite Church

Services were begun in Breslau in 1815. In 1834, Benjamin Eby's log meeting house, which had been built in Berlin in 1813, was moved to Breslau to the Cressman farm. Preaching services which were held every four weeks began in the reconstructed meeting house in 1837. A new brick church was built in 1856, at which time the old log meeting house was moved to Frederick Schaefer's brickyard. The old building may have been used for storage or an office until approximately 1880 when it was clad with white "Breslau Brick" from the brickyard, and used as a home by Frederick Schaefer and his family. The address of the house is reported to have been 18 Woolwich Street; it was still standing in 1985, according to Alder 1985, with the original log walls possibly preserved within the brick ones.

A summer Sunday School was begun in June of 1872. It was held in the Breslau schoolhouse until 1877 when it was moved to the church. Sunday School continued on in the summers only until 1889 when Sunday School classes began to be held all year.

The 1856 white brick church was taken down in March 1908, and was replaced with a new white brick church. In 1968 the name of the church was changed from Cressman Mennonite Church to Breslau Mennonite Church. Major renovations were made to the church in the same year. It is of interest to know that land amounting to approximately three acres was deeded to the congregation by Christian C. Snyder in three parcels, in 1837, 1859, and 1870.

Joseph Hagey, the first minister at Cressman's, was ordained on February 10, 1839. He was ordained bishop in 1851. Ministers who followed him in serving the church at Breslau were Jacob Woolner Sr., Elias Weber, Isaac A. Wambold, Jacob S. Woolner, and Oscar Burkholder. Services were held every four weeks from 1837-1867, and bi-weekly from 1867-1894 when weekly services were begun

Breslau Missionary Church

Meetings are reported to have been held in 1872 in a building at the corner of Woolwich Street and Mader Lane by a group who were followers of Solomon Eby. Conferences to consider reorganization of the church were held in 1874 and 1875, the most important of which was considered to have been the meeting at the Bloomingdale Mennonite Church on May 23, 1875. Members of the New Mennonites and the Reforming (or Reformed) Mennonites joined together at that meeting as the United Mennonites. At a meeting in Blair in 1879 a union, called the Evangelical United Mennonites, was formed from the United Mennonites and the Evangelical Mennonites. Four years later, in 1883, the Ohio Brethren in Christ (Tunker) joined with the Evangelical United Mennonites to form the Mennonite Brethren in Christ.

Dedication services were held on Christmas Day, 1882, for the new Breslau Mennonite Church which had been built during the year. Henry Goudie was minister to the congregation from 1881-1884. He was followed by Peter Geiger (1884-1885) and Frank Moyer (1885-1886). Solomon Eby, a member of the congregation who was minister from 1886-1889, had been one of the organizers on May 15, 1874 of the Reforming Mennonites.

On May 6, 1959 a decision was made to construct an 1800 square foot addition to the church. The sanctuary was enlarged and new pews were installed in 1978; dedication was in September of that year. Rev. Leonard DeWitt, president of the Missionary Church was guest speaker on Sunday, November 21, 1982, when the church's 100th Anniversary service was held. Of interest: the sign eteched in the glass above the doors on the northwest side of the back section reads "United Missionary Church."

COBER, NANCY LOUISA (Nee Panabaker)

Mrs. J. N. Cober, at her home on Friday evening, April 20, 1923. She had been ailing for some weeks with an incurable trouble and her death was not unexpected. She was born in Waterloo Township over 72 years ago, the daughter of the late David Panabaker. She has been a resident of Hespeler and vicinity all her life and in her death, Hespeler mourns one of her oldest residents. She has made her life felt in the community, for she was not only actively connected with church work, being a lifelong member of the Methodist Church but she was interested herself in all relief work of the town and was president of the Mother's Club. Many the tempting dishes that found their way to the sick were from Mrs. Cober's own home. She was a neighbour unto those in need. Just ten years ago, almost to the day, her husband died quite suddenly. The survivors are: Mrs. Milton Ward of Brandon; Mrs. John D. Murdoch of Zealandia; Mrs. Russell Gordon of Kindersley; Mrs. Joseph R. Darwen of Hespeler; Mrs. Rev. J. D. Taylor of Galt; Albert H. of Hespeler; sisters and brothers, Mrs. S. Chambers of Ethel; Mrs. Catharine Bechtel of Cabri, SK; Miss Susannah Panabaker of Hespeler; Miss Lizzie Panabaker of Cabri; Aaron W. Panabaker, Levi, Abraham A. and C. A., all of Hespeler; Arnold of Winnipeg. The funeral, which was held on Monday afternoon, was very largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. W. G. Buell and Rev. W. H. Harvey of Waterloo. Mrs. C. H. Bleich sang. She was borne to her last resting place in Hespeler Cemetery by six nephews: David, George, John, Frank and James Panabaker; and Vernon Cober.

-Information from the death certificate: Of Hungerford Rd. in Hespeler. Born in Waterloo Township on January 2, 1851, daughter of David Panabaker and Catherine Warner.

Wanner Mennonite Church
Begun: 1829

A small wooden meeting house was built in 1829 on a corner of the farm belonging to Samuel Bechtel which was located in the vicinity of the present-day regional headquarters of the Ministry of Natural Resources near the intersection of Highways 24 and 401. The site for this community meeting house, as well as a school and a burial ground, had been chosen on August 8, 1829. The land was donated by Samuel Bechtel and his wife Barbara (Baumann) on March 15, 1830. A new meeting house, of white brick, was built in 1837 on the east side of Henry Wanner's farm, somewhat north of the first meeting house. Meetings at first were held every eight weeks. The deed of land for the meeting house known as Wanner's was dated October 15, 1837. Early preachers were David Sherk, who had been ordained by Benjamin Eby in July 1837, Jacob Bretz, Jr., and Joseph Hagey.
Joseph Hagey was ordained bishop in 1851. During his time divisions occurred in the church by a surge of enthusiasm for a Methodist form of revivalism. Solomon Eby of Port Elgin, who announced his own conversion in December 1869, was leader of a group which believed that members could be converted through participation in revival meetings. John Baer of Wanner's became associated with Solomon Eby, and was compelled to leave the church in the spring of 1874, as were Eby and his other followers. The new church movement resulted in organization conferences which culminated in the conference on March 23, 1875 at Bloomingdale where New Mennonites and Reforming (or Reformed) Mennonites joined together as United Mennonites. The United Mennonites favored revival meetings, Sunday Schools and prayer meetings, and were opposed to the use of alcohol and tobacco.
The date of construction of the meeting house which replaced the one built in 1837 is somewhat in doubt. It is possible that a new building was erected in the early 1870s; it is also possible that the 1837 building only underwent extensive renovations at that time. There is no doubt, however, that a new brown brick church was built in 1938. An education wing was added in 1969.
The earliest Mennonite Sunday School in North America was begun in 1842 and was held jointly by the Wanner and Hagey Meeting Houses. It was discontinued after a short time because of a division of opinion within the congregations. An attempt was made later, in the mid-1860s, to begin another Sunday School, but this, too, did not last long. Many years later, on June 10, 1896, a meeting was held to organize a Sunday School. Anson Groh was appointed superintendent..

_____________

Groh.-Anson Groh was born April 17, 1859; died May 9, 1944, at his home near Preston, Ont., in which community he was born and had farmed till near the close of his life. He suffered a slight stroke about three and one-half years ago, and was in failing health since that time, though usually able to be up and about the home till the past January. He grew gradually weaker and passed quietly away without severe suffering. Although his mental powers faded as strength declined, he remained calm and conscious to the end. On March 7, 1882, he was united in marriage to Lovina Bechtel, who departed this life in August 1932. Eleven children were born to this union. One daughter died in 1914 at the age of eighteen. Surviving are 4 daughters (Mabel, and Esther at home; Ida, Mrs. Menno Snyder, near Kitchener; Bertha, Mrs. D. W. Lehman, Orrville, Ohio), 6 sons (Herbert, Ottawa; Melvin, Preston; Norman, Beamsville; Oscar, Detroit, Mich.; Ivan, St. Catharines; Harold, Toronto), 31 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, and 4 brothers. He and his wife were interested in spiritual things. Before his conversion he was instrumental in helping to organize a Sunday school at the Hagey Church in order that his growing family might have Sunday-school privileges. Soon after J. S. Coffman came to Waterloo County, he and his wife gladly accepted salvation and united with the Wanner Mennonite Church, in which fellowship he remained till death. After helping at the Hagey Sunday School for a number of years, he turned his attention to the establishing of a Sunday school at the weaker Wanner church, where he served as superintendent and later as teacher for many years. He was a well-known speaker at Sunday-school conferences in the early days, and was a speaker at the first Sunday convention in Indiana. He served on the Mission Board of Ontario, and it was largely through his efforts that the Ontario Board of Mennonite Finance was organized. He was also largely used as a lecturer on agriculture and forestry by the Ontario Department of Agriculture. For some years he gave himself to the development of Farmer's Co-operation, while his last major task was the building and management of a Municipal telephone system. These responsibilities were relinquished one by one as age crept on, but he was devoted to his farm as long as he was able to get around. Funeral services were conducted by Bros. J. W. Witmer and B. B. Shantz at the Wanner Church, and the body was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery to await the resurrection.

Falls 40 Feet And Dies At Hospital - Former Hespeler Mayor, D.N. Panabaker, Prominent in Public Life

Hespeler - D.N. Panabaker, 70, died in hospital at Galt on Thursday of injuries received when he fell forty feet to the ground from a lookout platform of the Pioneers Memorial Tower near Doon. Chief Coroner W.A. Woolner said there will be no inquest. Panabaker, who served as Mayor of Hespeler for many years, was conscious when found but said later he could not explain how the accident occurred. Panabaker was the president of the Waterloo Historical Society, responsible for erection of the Memorial Tower.

For many years identified with the Canadian woolen industry as manager of the Hespeler division, Dominion Woolens and Worsteds Ltd., he was known as an authority in Canadian Woolen circles. Born n Waterloo Township 70 years ago, serving on the town council Hespeler, of Pennsylvania Dutch stock, he became one of the most reliable authorities on the early history of the Pennsylvania Dutch settlers in this country. It was through his efforts that the Memorial Tower from which he fell was erected to the memory of the county's early pioneers.

He was prominent in civic affairs of Hespeler and the county for many years serving on the town council and later on the county council as reeve. He was later elected warden of the county. He was an active member of the United Church. He was a past president of the waterloo County Children's aid Society and also of the Ontario Children's Aid Society. He was also a past president of the Waterloo County Canadian Club.

His entire life was spent in Hespeler where he entered the employ of the R. Forbes Woolen Company as a youth, rising to manager of the concern which later became a division of the Dominion Woolens and Worsteds Ltd. He retired from active connection with the firm about ten years ago. In later years he had been identified with the Hespeler Felt Company.

Besides his wife he is survived by three sons, Wilbur of Saskatchewan, Frank of Hamilton, distinguished Canadian landscape painter, and Reeve James Panabaker of Hespeler. Four brothers, Levi and C.A. of Hespeler, Arnold of Blair and Ephraim in the West, with three sisters, the Misses Susan and Elizabeth of Hespeler and Mrs. Chambers of Atwood, also survive.
