| Notes |
Niles Peter Holm, "was born March 16th, 1811. In his younger years he was converted and joined the church of his choice, the River Brethren, which body he served faithfully until his death. When about thirty-five years of age he was ordained as a minister of the River Brethren denomination. He was an active worker in the Lord's vineyard and was well received by all classes of people who used to assemble at his appointed place of worship. He not only had the unlimited confidence of the members of his own congregation but his friends and admirers were many amongst those of other denominations and such that had no connections with any of the religious bodies of our country. It would not be saying too much to make the assertion that this servant of God died without a single enemy. He resided a little east of Hespeler where he died December 13th, 1880. He was married to Susannah Cober who was born June 4th, 1813, and died a few years ago. She proved to be a noble helpmate unto her husband in assisting him in performing the many duties connected with his pastoral callings. She was a noble woman, a kind and sympathetic neighbor, and a true follower of her Master. Her end was peace. The winged arrow of death bore her soul away to the spiritual mansions beyond the skies. They had a family of eleven children, of whom only four were left to mourn the loss of their dear parents. Their names are as follows:" |
