• Notes

  (Research):Gospel Herald - Volume XIV, Number 4 - April 28, 1921 - page 79 Brownsberger. - Samuel Brownsberger, youngest son of the late George Brownsberger, was born on the Snavely farm near Manheim, Pa., April 9, 1825; died near Markham, Ont., April 11, 1921; aged 96 y. 2 d. He came with his parents to Ringwood, Ont., when about one year old. He was married in 1848 to Fanny Burkhloder, to which union were born 7 sons and two daughters. He came into the Mennonite Church about 50 years ago and endeavored to hold fast his profession consistently all these years. While he was of a retiring disposition he always gave evidence of "delight in the law of God after the inward man." With the departure of our brother the last of the surviving Mennonite settlers who came to York county during the early part of the last century has passed away. Burial took place at the Wideman cemetery on the 11 inst. and was very largely attended. The services were conducted by L. W. Hoover and L. J. Burkholder.
