| Note | Death reg. 013844-94 North Easthope Twp., Perth Co. Julian Cressman died 11 July, 1894, age 82 yrs., 3 mos., 21 dys. Spinster. Born Pennsylvania. Old Mennonite. Physician Dr. Whiteman. Informant Joseph Wilhelm, min, Preacher, North Easthope Juliana is buried with sisters and a brother in Shantz Mennonite Church in Wilmot Township. We do not know just where in North Easthope Township Juliana was located at the time of her death, but it wasn't that likely far from her home for North Easthope Township of Perth County and Wilmot Township of Waterloo County do share, in parts, a common border. The Waterloo branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society has done a transcription of Shantz Mennonite Church Cemetery (near Baden) in Wilmot Township. This shows Juliana's burial as being with her brother and sisters. As noted above, her death registration places her death in North Easthope Township of Perth County. On page 476 of Volume 1 of Ezra Eby's biographies, he tells that 'Julia' was with her nephew, 'Mr. Wismer', when she died. Eby locates this at Amulree Post Office, surely the Wismer postal address, which is in central North Easthope. The handwriting on the 1891 census page that includes Juliana and her sister Elizabeth is poor and, hence, the indexing is almost non-existant. The sisters, apparently living in their own home, are elderly. Juliana is shown as 79 and Elizabeth as 70. The name Shantz is quite prominent among their neighbours. Juliana's sister Elizabeth died in 1893 and this is probably why Juliana went to live with her Wismer nephew for the last year of her life. |
