Detweiler.-On the 2d of October, 1906, in Elkhart, Ind., of kidney troubles, of which he suffered greatly for two weeks, Bro. John B. Detweiler, aged 73 Y., 5 M., 26 D. He was born in Waterloo Co., Ont., April 6, 1833. He had been a resident of Elkhart county for half a century and lived in Elkhart for the past six years. Bro. Detweiler is survived by his wife, four sons, three daughters, six sisters and tour brothers. Bro. Detweiler was a man of peace and so conducted himself that no one should be offended by him. He was truly one of the quiet people of the land, and his quiet, peaceable and friendly disposition won for him the esteem and friendship of the entire community, which was made manifest by the very large concourse of relatives and friends that had gathered at his funeral to show the last tribute of love to his memory. It is estimated that at least 1,000 people were present. Services were conducted at the home in Elkhart by John F. Funk and H. A. Anglemoyer, and at Yellow Creek M. H., where the burial took place, by Christian Weaver and David Burkholder, from the text, "For me to live is Christ; for me to die is gain" (Phil. 1: 21). The following friends from a distance were present: Noah Detweiler (a brother of the deceased) and daughter, and four sisters from Waterloo Co., Ont.; Mrs. Isaac Good (a sister) and her three sons and two daughters from Branch Co., Mich.; also two brothers of Sister Detweiler, Isaac Wenger and wife and Simeon Wenger of Caledonia, Kent Co., Mich. The Lord bless the bereaved family and give them grace to say with submissive hearts, "Thy will be done."

Snyder.-Esther Detweiler, beloved wife of Albert Snyder of Bloomingdale, Ont., was born Feb. 21, 1851; died Dec. 12, 1936; aged 85 y. 9 m. 21 d. On April 14, 1874 she was united in marriage to Albert Snyder, with whom she shared the joys and cares of life nearly 63 years. There remain her loving husband, 1 son (Addison D.) at home, 1 adopted daughter (Mrs. Selina Weber of Kitchener), (3 daughters died in infancy); also 1 grandson (John W. Snyder) and 2 granddaughters (Estella and Eileen Weber of Kitchener) and 1 brother (R. B. Detweiler of Ingersoll, Ont.)-the last surviving member of a family of fourteen, who had all grown to see the youngest of the family married before the family circle was broken. She also leaves a large number of relatives and friends. She had a wide circle of friends whom she had made by her always cheerful smile. We mourn, but not without hope; for her desire has been granted and prayers answered to depart this world of care and pain to be with her blessed Savior where sorrow and sighing shall flee away. She was converted in her youth and united with Snyder's congregation, of which she always was a faithful member until God called her home. She always sought the Lord's house when health permitted. The last seven years she was denied this privilege, many a time. After one week's illness of pneumonia she passed peacefully on. The home loses a loving mother, the Church a faithful believer, but our loss is her eternal gain. Funeral services were conducted at the home by H. W. Stevanus assisted at the church by Jonas Snider and Simon Martin. Texts, I Pet. 3: 21, 22; Acts 1 : 11. Interment in adjoining cemetery.

"In silence she suffered,
With a smile her pain she bore,
Until God's angel whispered
'Come home and suffer no more."'

She was a true mother in Israel and manifested a conscientious concern for the present and future needs of her family, both temporally and spiritually. Funeral services were held Sept. 23 at the home, and at the First Mennonite Church, Kitchener, with Bros. Oscar Burkholder, Jonas Snider, and Merle Shantz in charge.

Clare was born on a farm where now are the Eastwood Collegiate and Sunnyside Home. With his parents \endash Titus and Mary Ann (Detweller) Shantz \endash he attended First Mennonite then Stirling Avenue churches and was fully involved in each as Sunday school teacher, song leader, in male quartets, the Literary Society, Young People's Bible meetings, etc. In the early 1940s, Clare attended Ontario Mennonite Bible School.

Nora was cook there, making meals for an average of 125 \endash 150 students: three meals a day, seven days a week.

After months of adjustment and rehabilitation, he continued as service manager at J C Hallman's until retirement. Some of Clare's many achievements \endash despite being restricted to a wheelchair \endash were getting a ramp built at Erb Street Church, and building trailers designed for his special needs so that he and Nora could travel.Nora's birthplace was on the farm situated on the north west corner of Columbia and Philip Streets in Waterloo. Her parents were Mennonite and Hattie (Lichty) Burkhart and the family attended Erb Street Mennonite Church from about 1922. There was a time at Erb Street when Sunday school pupils could choose their teacher: Nora moved with one class of teenage girls for nine years. The Sunshine Band Committee (later Girls' Club), Junior Charity Circle, the Beacon's WMSA (later WMSC Circle) and librarian were other leadership roles Nora took.In 1958, 1959 and 1960 Nora underwent many operations and treatment for cancer: one operation removed one eye and half of her upper jaw. She was told she would probably not live for another year.

Notes:

Mary Viola Dettweiler was born March 3, 1921 near Breslau, Ontario to Isaiah and Lucinda (Bechtel) Dettweiler. She was the second oldest in a family of eight living children - four girls and four boys. Mary's parents loved the Lord and as a young girl Mary asked Jesus Christ to be her Saviour and worked for Him ever since. As a young lady, Mary trained as a nurses' assistant and worked in Ontario. She spent a year in Voluntary Service (VS) in a home for unwed mothers in Washington, DC. While home from VS, Mary was picking fruit in the same orchard as John Sayer, an Alberta farmer. He picked out a "Peach" and after a long distance courtship he suggested they start their own family tree. They were married Oct 24, 1953 and Mary moved to the Sayer home farm west of Carstairs, Alberta. She soon became known as a friendly, hospitable neighbour. John and Mary raised their three children Nancy (Johnson), Charlotte (Stace) and Melvin on the farm. John and Mary gave their children a stable and happy home. Active in their community church, West Zion Mennonite Church over the years, Mary taught Sunday School, worked with WMSC and had a open home for anyone needing a place to go. She also volunteered with the Didsbury Auxiliary and Meals on Wheels. She was always ready to offer a hand if she knew of someone in need, and many people will remember her for a kindness she gave. Mary always enjoyed gardening, growing enough for her family and to share with others. She took delight in each grandchild and has always been involved in their lives as well as faithfully praying for each one. In August 1999, John and Mary made their home in Sunrise Village, Olds. They have made many new friends and it wasn't long before Mary again shared her love with those around her through her kind words and loving gestures. Mourning her loss are many friends as well as her husband John; children, Nancy (Stephen) Johnston, Charlotte (Greg) Stace, Melvin (Priscilla) Sayer; grandchildren Aaron (Rausheen), Roland, Shannon, Janna, Marissa, Luke, Allen, Angela, Charlotte and Melody; siblings, Harold (Margaret) Dettweiler, Ward (Beatrice) Dettweiler, Clarke (Ruth) Dettweiler, Ruby (Silvin) Roth, Norma Dettweiler and brother-in-law Laverne Good and sister-in-law Joyce Dettweiler; brothers and sisters-in-law, Richard (Lillian) Sayer, Clare (Jane) Good, Alberta Cressman and many nieces and nephews.Predeceased by her parents, sister Margaret Good, and brothers Glenn (1989) and David.

She attended Riverbank School until grade 8 when it was the expectation that she would end her schooling to help at home. A time of illness at age 15 changed things.

After teaching for several years, Norma completed her formal education at Goshen College in Indiana where she received her B.A. degree in 1957.

Throughout her career, "Miss Dettweiler" taught at a number of Waterloo Township schools including Victoria, Riverbank, Shantz Station, Maple Grove and Breslau. She ended her teaching career at Smithson School in Kitchener when she retired in 1985. Norma taught continuously for 34 years including a 2 year term voluntary teaching assignment in with Mennonite Mission Board in Alberta.

Norma's life also revolved around serving in her church and various organizations. She was baptized into membership at Cressman Mennonite Church (Breslau Mennonite Church) on November 26, 1939 and contributed in various capacities including Vacation Bible School, the Missions Committee, the Music and Worship Committee and Congregational Chairperson. She was the founding editor of The Branch, the congregation's newsletter. Norma enjoyed gardening and supported the House of Friendship by supplying vegetables from her large garden. She joined the Board of Directors of House of Friendship and served in the role of Secretary for 10 years. Norma was a life member of Fraser Lake Camp near Bancroft, Ontario.

Norma travelled extensively with friends and family. Many of her nieces have fond memories of time spent with her during these trips.

Norma is survived by three brothers, Harold (Margaret), Ward (Beatrice) and Clarke. Also by brother-in-in law Silvin Roth and sister-in-law Joyce Dettweiler.

She was predeceased by her parents; her sisters Margaret Good, Mary Sayer and Ruby Roth; her brothers Glenn and David. Also by her brothers-in-law Laverne Good and John Sayer and sisters-in-law Katherine Dettweiler and Ruth Dettweiler.

Norma will be remembered by her 33 nieces and nephews and their families. She will also be remembered by her Dettweiler and Bechtel cousins.
