• Notes

  Witmer. - Jesse Andrew Witmer was born in Waterloo Tp., Waterloo Co., Ont. On July 9, 1882; died Sept. 15, 1916; aged 34 y. 2 m. 6 d. On Jan 10, 1910, he was united in marriage to Sophia Snyder, who with a young daughter and son, his mother, a sister, and a brother survive to mourn his untimely departure. His father predeceased him only last May. Eight days previous to his death he had the misfortune to fall into the cylinder of a threshing machine which necessitated the amputation of 3 toes. Later tetanus or lockjaw developed, which was the cause of his death. Early in life he united with the Mennonite Church and has been an ardent worker in the Sunday school, being superintendent for three years past. He will indeed be missed much in the home, the church, and the community; but we trust in Him who doeth all things well. Funeral services were conducted at the Wanner Church on Sept. 18 by Oscar Burkholder and Benjamin Schantz. Text, Psa. 39: 4. Gospel Herald - Volume IX, Number 29 - October 19, 1916 - 543, 544
