Notes:

Conrad was a very active man and said frequently that he wished to wear out not rust out. He suffered a paralytic stroke, but he kept on moving about when most other men would have thought it impossible. In his younger days he took active part in church, school and the general affairs of life. Burial was in the Baptist cemetery in Upper Woolwich (Sandhills side road) the church is no longer standing. Rev. John Meyers of New Hamburg conducted assisted by Rev. W. J. Zimmerman of Elmira. The Sandhills side road cemetery is now abandoned, but has been taken over by the township of Woolwich. It was cleared and all the stones were set in long cement trenches because the stones had all fallen or were knocked down so the actual places of the graves is not known. This was done by members of the family before the township took over.

Notes:

(Reverend) Joseph joined the Evangelical movement in this area, so the records show, and was much influenced by it's preachers. He was so well liked and determined to succeed that when the Waterloo District was formed, Joseph was recommended and accepted to preach in this area, even though he was not ordained to do so. This was done at a later date. He was looked upon as a great leader in the community. He received his appointment to preach in 1854. He preached in New Hamburg in 1857, 1858-1895, 1896. and I understand at some of the other evangelical churches around this area such as Waterloo and Hespeler. Some records in Waterloo Historical Society books. vol #5 vol #6

A local Evangelical church was dedicated in 1851, Joseph was its minister. from Zion Evangeliacal (United) church 100th anniversary book. page 48-Joseph Umbach and Simon L Umbach mentioned. Joseph as District Superintendant. Ministers in this age were only permitted to serve for two years and so had to move to different churches periodically to maintain their profession. Hence both Joseph and Simon served many places in this area. page 55 mentions corner stone laying for Zion church building on Weber St. (present site) near Queen St. Joseph Umbach supervising.

Joseph born Munchzell in Baden Germany. His father Johann was born Grossgartig, Wurrtemburg Germany, and was a laborer and as a young man moved to Baden. He lived there with his parents until the family moved to America. Joseph was the second oldest and his mother's darling. The father was away from home a lot and so the training was left to the mother. The children had to learn to work early to help their mother with the farm. The father was Evangelical and the mother was catholic, a very pious person, so the children received a very strong christian upbringing. Joseph attended a rural school and shortly before they came to America he was confirmed. Relatives in Canada had been writing to them and so they came to Canada in sept 1843, having left Germany in June.

(Laschinger) The grandmother had died and grandpa was living in a small log house with his family, in a rural area with no neighbors, no school, or church. Joseph received no further schooling and hard work made him strong. The father bought a small farm near Conestoga but traded it for a tract of woodland 11 miles away in Woolwich twshp. there Joseph helped father build a house. The nearest neighbor lived 3 miles away and Joseph still could get no more education. The Umbachs were warned not to attend nearby chuch meetings in Berlin, but went anyways, with the result that his mother (Katherine) joined. Johann was furious and tried to stop things but after attending a meeting in St. Jacobs, joined himself.

Joseph at 18 was well on the way to becoming a preacher and his mother who was getting fed up with having so many preachers around, put her foot down on having home meetings and so Joseph left. The Michael Menger family built a house and the meetings were held there. After Josephs mother became more reasonable he returned home, and the religious group took him in. Later he was elected an officer of the church. (Elder). In 1853 he proved his ability as a preacher to a congregaion in Waterloo, under Rev. F. Herlan, where many people joined. Next was New Hamburg, for two years, with the same results. In 1859 he attended a church conference in New York, (400 miles with horse and wagon) with his wife and two children. It was very hard on them. He was rejected by the conference because he was Canadian. Two years later he went to the Utica mission as area head. In 1863 he was in Buffalo. In 1864 he returned to Niagara Falls for two years. In 1866 he was elected president of the district and held had post for 29 yrs. till poor health forced him tor esign that post.

For 4 yrs. he had a helper then spent a yr. as a helper, and then hiscareer as a minister was over. He suffered for 10 yrs., had many operations, but never fully regained his health.

He had a happy family life, though many trials. He had 12 children, 3 died in infancy. The death of his wife in 1906 was very hard for him and he stayed with his oldest daughter till he died in 1911. Rev. W. J. Wager conducted the funeral and 22 ministers lead the procession. The church could not hold all the people who came to pay their respects.

Notes:

Simon Umbach is reported to have had to go to Illinois in 1882 to settle the affairs of Frederich's death, and brought one of the children home with him.

According to Joseph Umbach. Frederick was the black sheep of the family and loved hunting. fishing and drinking his share. That did not sit well with those who were ministers in the family and Frederick was given the farm at Easton Illinois which was a swamp, to keep him out of the way. The farm was drained in the late 1800's and is now a productive and well managed farm still in the Umbach family.

Israel and Louisa Umbach by Tiny (Umbach) Goebel

Israel Umbach was born in Woolwich, County of Waterloo, Ontario on March 3, 1867. He was the youngest of eight children. Louisa (Axt) Umbach was born in Woolwich, County of Waterloo, Ontario on November 29, 1868. She was the youngest of 10 children.
They came to Edmonton from Ontario in April, 1892, with three children, Martha, Sarah, and a son Conrad who passed away March, 1893. It took seven days and nights by train to come to Edmonton.

While they lived in Edmonton, Dad worked for a cartage company, hauling supplies from the railroad station in South Edmonton over the river on a ferry to North Edmonton. He often was asked to translate for the German-speaking immigrants.

Dad took a homestead (NW 12-53-28-W4) in the Glory Hills District just north of Stony Plain. Life on the homestead was very hard for them. There were only trails and they had only wagon and horses for transportation. Edmonton was the closest place to buy supplies. Eventually a store was built in Spruce Grove and Mother would walk with eggs and butter to sell, in order to buy food and clothing.

Dad was a carpenter by trade so he spent a lot of time in Stony Plain working, and Mother was left to do the farm work. My older sisters and Mother did all the sewing by hand.

Mother and Dad moved to Stony Plain in 1906. They lived in the old creamery while Dad built our house, which is still being lived in. The creamery was on the property where the hospital now stands.

The first years they lived in Stony Plain, Dad was busy building. He helped build the first livery barn, the first bank, the school, the Methodist Church, the old fire hall, and a number of other buildings.

Dad was named sheriff for the town, as well as overseer and tax collector. He was paid $100.00 a year and two and a half percent for collecting taxes. Once the railroad didn't pay their taxes. One day as he was working he heard the train whistle and he decided it was a good time to do something about collecting the taxes. He got a heavy logging chain and padlock from Oppertshauser's Hardware and chained the train to the tracks. After a few telegrams to the headquarters of the railroad, they decided they would pay the taxes owing the town.

Mother and Dad were members of the United Church. Mother was a life member of the Women's Institute and a member of the Red Cross. She did knitting for the soldiers in the first World War. She attended concerts and dances in the old fire hall. Sometimes she worked as a midwife with Dr. Oatway.

Mother and Dad had 13 children (two passing away as infants): Martha Peddie, Sarah Bishop, Lorinda Griffin, Pearl Adille, Harvey, Levi, Mabel King, Erven, Matilda Goebel, Cecil, and Eleanor Guennette. Of the 13, only four are still alive, Martha Peddie (92) Mabel King (79), Matilda (Tiny) Goebel (76) and Eleanor Guennette (72).

Dad passed away on June 6, 1948, and is buried in the Glory Hills Reform Church Cemetery. Mother passed away on November 7, 1962, and is buried beside her husband.

Obituary of Former New Hamburg Resident

The following obituary was received by Mrs. John Kaercher, relating the death of her brother in Corpus Christi, Texas. Some time ago:

"M. Menger, the city superintendent of the city schools, died Thursday afternoon at the Spohn sanitarium after a six weeks illness.

Mr. Menger, who had taught in the Corpus Christi city schools twenty-nine schools, was born in New Hamburg, Canada. He was a graduate of the Toronto University. He left Canada at the age of 20 years and after a short time spent in New York he came to Texas and located at Austin, teaching for a while in Bickler academy and later at Flatonia and Halletsville after which he came to Corpus Christi, where he taught as principal of the high school. He succeeded W. D. Notley as superintendent on January of this year.

Mr. Menger was first married to Miss Nancy Overton of Halletsville, who died in 1900. His second wife was Mrs. Cora L. Allen of Hartford, Connecticut. She died in 1916. Two sons of the first marriage, Overton and Garnett, survive. The former is in Liverpool with merchant marine and the latter resides in Corpus Christi.

As an instructor and as a man Mr. Menger was loved and admired by his pupils as few ever are. In the senior class it is said there are several pupils whose fathers and mothers were educated by him and several of the present members of the school board received their education under his guidance and direction.

It is also said that Mr. Menger established the first physical culture and chemical laboratory used in the Corpus Christi high school. He was recognized as one of the best mathematicians in the State of Texas and he built up that department of the high school to where it was second to none in the State.

The following tribute, taken from one of the annuals of the high school dedicated to him, shows the esteem in which he was held by his pupils "To the one who always stands firmly for what is right, true and good and who is ever an example of noble manhood: to our beloved Mr. Menger.

The citizenship in general will mourn the passing of this worthy man whose life work was so unselfishly given to the training of the young men and young women of this city and section.

Mr. Menger was a member of the Woodmen of the World, Woodmen Circle, Praetorians and Ancient Order of United Workmen.

He obtained a teacher's certificate, and taught for two years, then entered the "School of Practical Science" in Toronto, graduating in 1903. After serving several months with the Canadian Pacific Railway, he accepted a position in the Topographic Survey Branch in Ottawa. Here he worked until 1911, at which time he transferred to Victoria as a draftsman under the then surveyor-general George H. Dawson. During his regime in Victoria, he introduced a comprehensive scheme of triangulation control surveys to bring order to the previously disjoint surveys that had been done. He developed a systematic topographic survey by the photo-topographical method introduced by his former chief, the late Dr. Deville. After George Dawson retired, Joshua Umbach became the Surveyor-general of the Province of B.C. Umbach died suddenly of a heart attack on 2 February 1930 (obituary in the Daily Colonist February 3, 1930, p.5.) Umbach Peak is named in his honour.

In Memoriam
Schaefer - In loving memory of our dear Lillian who fell asleep in Jesus four years ago Oct. 25^th.

As some sweet blossom droops and fades,
While blighted by the frost,
She faded from before our eyes
And all too soon was lost.
But in God's garden, free from pain,
Where grow His fairest flowers,
We know what we will find again
This vanished bloom of ours.
The Family
