Notes:

Hagey.-Elvina, daughter of Jonathan and Emma (Rudy) Martin, was born near St. Jacobs, Ontario, March 4, 1897; died in New Hamburg, Ontario, July 20, 1930; aged 33 y. 4 m. 16 d. Her death was due to a peculiar disease. Only five such cases have been reported in the Dominion. She had been losing her strength all spring and although she had a desire to raise her children yet she was resigned to God's will. During the seven weeks that she was bedfast she prayed often for her children, also neighbors and friends. She also told her husband that her mother had visited her and that they had planned that she should go with her later. Her husband tried to persuade her that this was only a dream but she insisted it was not, and begged him not to spoil her plans. On July 18, 1919, she was baptised into church fellowship with the Mennonites and remained faithful until death. Jan. 15, 1919, she was united in marriage with Bro. Roy Hagey. Three children, (Ralph, Kenneth, and Alice) blessed this union. She also leaves father, step-mother, eight brothers (Ephraim, Milton, Irvin, Josiah, Isaiah, Norman, Urias and Abner), 3 sisters (Malinda Good, Hannah Lichty, and Barbara Roth); also one step-brother (Melvin Hunsberger), and a step-sister (Ada Martin). Her mother preceded her 23 years. During the last few days she spoke continually of God's love and advised how we should teach our children. The Christian nurse who cared for her said she never before heard such wonderful testimony for God.
