Towards the close of his life he moved near the Blenheim Mennonite Meeting House, on the townline between Wilmot and Blenheim where he died. He was an ordained minister of the Mennonite Church and was considered one of the best pulpit orators of that body in his days. Their family consisted of three children, two sons and one daughter..." |
