1851 Census Waterloo, Waterloo County, Ontario
- From Allan Dettweiler:
I have the same David Eby being born Aug 26, 1827- (from Ezra Eby). He has a father named David as will as a son David who died in infancy.
If you look at his deathdate in the Herald of Truth - along with his accumulated age (70y, 4m, 13d's ), you will arrive at another birthdate yet. (06 Nov 1826)
In the article you have attached, it says David Eby donated the site for the church and cemetery in 1851. The David Eby you refer to was alive then - but so was his father (1785 - 1860)
Here is an obit for the David Eby you refer to:
Herald of Truth, Vol. XXXIV, No. 8, April 15, 1897 - Page 124, 125
EBY - On the 19th of March, 1897, in the town of Waterloo, Ont., Bro. David Eby, aged 70 years, 4 months, 13 days. Bro. Eby had been failing for a number of years, and had not expected to cross the threshold of 1897, but he was fully resigned to God's will. Buried on the 21st at the E. Eby M.H. Funeral services by Solomon Gehamn. A widow and family of three children mourn his departure.
- The Erb Street Mennonite Cemetery lies at the corner of Erb Street and Fischer-Hallman Road in the city of Waterloo, Ontario. The land for the original church on this site was donated in 1851 by David Eby senior. A red brick church was erected, which ws know as the David Eby Church. The surrounding churchyard was used for burials. At the time, this church was well out of Waterloo Village proper and was perhaps not as convenient as might be for the local Mennonite church, but it also served members of the congregration in the surrounding parts of Waterloo Township.
Article found:
In 1902 the Eby church as replaced by a new Erb Street building at a new located closer to town. This building, much enlarged, is an important part of the religious life of Waterloo to this day. The old churchyard remained as the cemetery for the new church, although separated from the building. As Waterloo has expanded, especially in the 1970's and 1980's, the city has come out to surround the small cemetery, which is now crowed by suburbia. The church and its congregation and no longer rural.
The cemetery is well kept and a reminder of the Mennonite origins and traditions of the early days of Waterloo. January 1991.
