As a husband and father, he was kind and indulgent to his family, and while be will be greatly missed in the family circle, they have the assurance that he has gone to his heavenly home where he will be waiting to meet his loved ones and where there will be no more parting.

A Young Life Ended
Death of Mrs. Josiah Cressman on Monday

The intelligence of the death of Mrs. Josiah Cressman which occurred at her home, a short distance from the town, on Monday, will come as a severe shock to all who enjoyed her acquaintance. Although naturally of a frail constitution and in delicate health a great deal, she was active and energetic. The illness that resulted in her death, inflammation of the kidneys, was only of two weeks' duration, and up till a few days before the end came, her death was never anticipated.

Mrs. Cressman was a comparatively young woman, being only in her 30th year. She was a kind and conscientious woman and endeared herself into the affections of all who knew her. She was universally popular and profound sympathy is extended to the bereaved husband in his hour of affiction.

The funeral will take place from the family residence at 9 o'clock on Thursday morning to the Strasburg cemetery.

Then cease your weeping,
Dear Mary's with the blest;

To join the chorus
Of those in endless rest.

She leaves to mourn her passing her sorrowing husband, 2 sisters (Ada, wife of Angus Weber, Conestoga, Ont.; Vera, wife of Harold Howden, Kitchener, Ont.), 4 nephews, and a host of relatives and friends. Since their marriage they had resided in Elmira and vicinity. She was converted in her youth, joined the Mennonite Church, and remained a faithful member until death. She was never blest with a family of her own but she possessed a motherly disposition which endeared her to all children. This was especially manifested in her work as a teacher of the beginners in the primary department of the Sunday school. Her benevolent qualities and gracious hospitality won for her the esteem and respect of all with whom she came in contact. The joy of her life was in her service for others. Short funeral services were held Feb. 16, 1944, at the Elmira Mennonite Church in charge of Bro. O. D. Snider, and at the First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, in charge of Bros. U. K. Weber and S. F. Coffman. Burial in the adjoining cemetery.

Life's race well run;

Life's crown well won.

_______________________

The roots of Ontario paramedics go back to St. Thomas, where in 1961 Charles "Chuck" Brubacher created the privately owned Golden Acres Ambulance Service.

Months after Brubacher's death the County of Elgin Council is considering renaming the ambulance headquarters on Edward Street after him.

Brubacher died in April, 2017. He was 80.

Dave Rock, a young employee of Brubacher's in the 1960s, is one of the people most invested in the possible name change.

"He was a very outstanding individual and was certainly determined to make something out of the ambulance profession," Rock said in a presentation to Elgin County. "He saw that it was a real injustice the way the system was."

Brubacher was from St. Thomas. He worked in Kitchener-Waterloo for a time as an orderly before returning to invest in ambulance care.

Back then it was a loose system with few regulations -- if any -- built by private companies turning very little profit.

"How is it we needed three weeks training to be an orderly inside the hospital but no training to attend to horrific scenes?" Brubacher is quoted as saying.

Brubacher worked for years reshaping the ambulance system in St. Thomas, first as the owner of the Golden Acres Ambulance Company in the early 1960s.
