She was a devoted wife and faithful mother. For the past eight years her health had been
uncertain and for several months her bodily strength was waning. Death came peacefully and
with little suffering. Funeral services were held at the Wideman Church, in charge of Aaron D.
Grove, Lorne Burkholder, Alvin Winger, and Elmer Burkholder. Text; Heb. 3:4. Interment was
made in the adjoining cemetery. Obituary of DEACON MANNASSEH REESOR FRETZ Taken from the Herald of Truth April 1937 Fretz.-Deacon Manasseh H., son of Michael and Magdalena (Reesor) Fretz, was born Mar. 31,
1860, on a farm near Stouffville, Ont; died Feb. 22, 1937; aged 76 y. 10 m. 22 d. He was
predeceased in death by an infant son (Ora), a brother (John R.), and a sister (Annie-Mrs.
Tilman McDowell). On Nov. 25, 1884, he was united in marriage to Mary Ann Cober of Ontario
County. Soon after marriage Bro. and Sister Fretz united with the Mennonite church, and as
believers in the faith they taught their children in the doctrine of the Savior. Surviving are his
wife and 11 children, namely: Joseph C., Martha (Mrs. Chris Smith), Ralph C., Oran M., Samuel
H., A. Lewis, Fred, Edward, Mary (Mrs. Elvin V. Snyder), Ella (Mrs. Orval Weber), and Mabel
(Mrs. Vernice Hoover). Also there are living 18 grandchildren. He had been in ill health for five
full weeks, due to a severe paralytic stroke. During this time he bore his many pains with
patience, and gave repeated assurance that his hope in God provided a hold upon the anchor
of the soul, sure and steadfast. So, peacefully, early that Monday morning, God gave him
release from things earthy to enter His presence within the veil. He was ordained to the
deacon's office at Markham in 1912 by Bishop Samuel Wideman. In the past few years he
shared his duties with the recently-ordained deacon, Jacob H. Wideman. He always took a
deep interest in the Christian activities of the Almira and Wideman congregations. For several
years about 1900 he was superintendent of the Sunday school. When the young people's
meetings were begun at Markham, about 1895, he became the first leader. He frequently filled
the appointment at Almira in the absence of a minister. Among the people of the inland
townships of York County, in which he was a life-long resident, he was highly respected. It was
his privilege to see his labors blessed, for under the cooperative efforts of the ministry and
superintendents the Sunday school work has included Almira, Cedar Grove, and three new
points, and a strong week-evening young people's Bible meeting is now supported by some fifty
faithful ones. In recent years his grandsons were his special delight and concern in prayer. The
entire family of children and the elder grandchildren have turned to the Lord. His daily
supplications at the family altar have ceased, but their memories remain and shall live as a
stabilizing strength to the dear ones and the church for whom he prayed. Funeral services were
held Feb. 24 at the Wideman Mennonite Church. Several ministers and officers of the Ontario
Conference were present. Bro. L. J. Burkholder conducted the service at the house and Bro.
Aaron Grove at the Church. The sermon was preached by Bishop S. F. Coffman from Heb.
6:18, 19, assisted by Bishop Manasseh Hallman. A very large assembly gathered to pay their
