B. SHONTZ DIES FROM STROKE OF APOPLEXY

B. Shontz, father of Mrs. Frank Crowther, Mrs. Frank Crighton and Mrs. F. E. Price, all of this city, suffered a stroke of apoplexy Wednesday night at the home of Mr. Crowther, where he makes his home. It was not discovered until yesterday morning, when an investigation was made to ascertain why he did not rise at his usual hour. He was found in his bed unconscious, and yesterday morning the physician could not tell if there was a chance for recovery. Since the above was written, Mr. Shontz passed away without regaining consciousness. His death came so sudden that it greatly shocked all who knew him. On Wednesday he had gone to a physician, who had warned him that he was threatened by apoplexy and he was preparing to take precautions against it. He had lived here about five years and owned one of the best fruit ranches in the valley. His body will be held until Sunday so that relatives may arrive.

BIEHN. - Aaron Biehn was born April 3, 1855 near the village of Doon, Waterloo Co., Ont.; died Nov. 8, 1935; aged 80 y. 7 m. 5 d. On Oct. 24, 1882, he was married to Mary Bowman of New Dundee, Ont., who passed away Sept. 24, 1924. In 1889 he was ordained a deacon of the Mennonite Church for the Strasburg, Ont., field of labor. He leaves 4 sons and 1 daughter (Clayton, Freeman, Leander, Aaron, and Mrs. Clemens Snyder). He is also survived by 21 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. In 1905 he moved with his family to Guernsey, Sask., where he took up land and resided until his death. He served as deacon in the Sharon Mennonite Church till death. He was well preserved and was in good health. He had spent the summer months in Ontario, attending the General Conference, and returned home soon after Conference. He left home the day of his death to visit at Bro. B.B. Weber's home. Soon after dinner he took a walk, walking about a mile and a half. He seemed none the worse for his walk, and about 5: 00 P. M. left Weber's to return home. No concern was felt at his non-arrival home that evening, it not being unusual for him to walk to homes in the neighborhood and at times to remain over night. About noon the next day inquiries were made as to his whereabouts, and as no one had seen the aged brother, a search was made and the body was discovered by Clemens Snyder about one-half mile from Bro. Biehn's home, 100 yards from the road as he had commenced a short cut across the field. The funeral was held Nov 12, with services at the home and at Sharon Mennonite Church, in charge of Bro. M. H. Schmitt and Bro. Burton Weber. Texts, II Tim. 4: 6 8; Jno. 16: 16. The body was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery.

Death of Real Old Timer
-
The death of Mr. Ephraim Shantz took place at his home in Didsbury last Thursday, October 27th, after an illness last for some time. The funeral was held on Saturday last and as Mr. Shantz has been a greatly respected and well liked member of the community since before the time there was any such place as Didsbury it was very largely attended. In fact it was the largest funeral ever held in Didsbury.

Mr. Shantz came here 27 years ago with the first settlers in the district, his father, Mr. Jacob Y. Shantz being immigration agent at that time and bringing in these first settlers which also included Mr. Hunsperger the postmaster.

Deceased took up a homestead a short distance northeast of town where he remained for some years, finally building a nice little home in Didsbury which he occupied until his death. He was a prominent member of the Mennonite church and although of a very quiet dispositon and not a man who pushed himself into undue prominence nevertheless took an active part in the welfare of the community being a member of the School Board for some years and also taking a quiet part in other activities. He was greatly respected and well liked by everybody, and his death, while not unlooked for, cast a gloom over the community.

He leaves to mourn his loss one son and two daughters, Bert, Mrs. Abner Hunsperger, Mrs. Alvin Hunsberger and his wife, all of whom have the entire sympathy of the community.
