• Notes

  Shantz. - Vietta Shantz, oldest daughter of Ivan and Irene Shantz was born Mar. 13, 1921; died Jan. 30, 1928, after suffering intensely of meningitis for two weeks; aged 6 y. 10 m. 17 d. She leaves behind to mourn her early demise father, mother, 1 sister, one brother, and 3 grandparents, besides other relatives. Vietta will be missed in her home because of her cheerfulness and helpfulness, always showing a thoughtfulness beyond her age, especially in caring for those younger than she and in doing the little duties around the house. While she keenly is missed by her parents, yet they hope to meet her again some day in that land of blissful rest. "All is over, hands are folded On a quite, peaceful breast; All is over, life is ended; Now dear, Vietta is at rest." Funeral services were conducted by O. D. Snider, Elmira, Ont. Remains were laid to rest in the Elmira Cemetery, opposite the church. Gospel Herald - Volume XXI, Number 3 - April 19, 1928, pages 62, 63
