• Notes

  Gospel Herald - Volume XIX, Number 1 - April 1, 1926, pages 14, 15. Werner. - George Werner was born in Rainham Twp., Ont., Jan. 4, 1839; died at his home in the same locality, March 21, 1926; aged 87 y. 2 m. 17 d. He was married to Catherine Hoover in 1864, who preceded him in death in 1920. To this union were born 9 children, 2 of whom died in infancy, and the eldest son, Elven, in his 40th year. The remaining members of the family are Mrs. W. F. Schisler, Myron, Milton, Ordania, Maynard, and Mrs. Alvin Culp; also 16 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. Bro. Werner was one of the pioneer settlers of Rainham Township. He with his wife settled near Fisherville, where they cleared for themselves a home in the forest. He was a lover of the Bible and Church, and his heart regretted the present-day drift from these sacred things of God. He was a lover of humanity, especially appreciating the many visits of his friends during the latter years of his life. He was a lover of song and sang many songs to himself in his last hours. He longed to pass over, expressed frequently the question as to why he should stay. He was buried in the Hoover Mennonite Cemetery, Selkirk, Ont. Bro. C. F. Derstine, Kitchener, Ont., preached from the text, Eccl. 12:5. "Man goeth to his long home."
