    David Bergey (1845-1932) lived all his life in Ontario. He was born near Preston and grew up on his father's farm near Mannheim. In 1872 he married Louisa Bowman. They had seven children.

    Bergey attended Normal School (teacher's college) in Toronto and taught in the following Waterloo County schools from 1866-1890: Pinehill, Manheim, Williamsburg, New Dundee and Waterloo Central. From 1876-1890 he served on the Board of Examiners of Public School teachers for Waterloo County. He was elected to the board of trustees of the New Dundee Public School in 1900.

    Bergey purchased a farm West of New Dundee in 1885. He was ordained deacon of Blenheim Mennonite Church in 1889, in which capacity he served until 1921. Previous to his ordination he had been active in the work of the Mennonite Conference of Ontario, which was known until 1909 as the Mennonite Conference of Canada. He assisted in organizing a Sabbath School at Latschar's Mennonite meetinghouse in 1874 and at Blenheim Mennonite meetinghouse in 1885. After his ordination he gave leadership to the formation of a Waterloo County Meeting of Mennonite Sunday Schools, which was the forerunner of the Sunday School Conference and then the Christian Nurture Conference. In 1894 he moderated the annual meeting of the Mennonite Conference in Canada. In 1901 he was appointed District Member of the Mennonite Evangelism and Benevolent Board of America, forerunner of the Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities. From 1906-1921 he served as Secretary of the Mennonite Conference of Ontario. He promoted systematic financial giving by church members to support those ministers in need of assistance and to pay ministers' travelling expenses.

    Bergey was a charter member of the New Dundee Rural Telephone Company in 1908 and was patrons' auditor for the New Dundee Cooperative Creamery accounts for about ten years. He served the community as conveyancer, executor and legal advisor. He was a life member of the Upper Canada Bible Society and president of the New Dundee Branch of the Society. He was also active in the temperance movement.

    Bergey was a Swiss Mennonite, a third-generation Canadian whose descendants had come north after the American Revolution. He spoke the South German dialect “Pennsylvanian Dutch”; his house was a stone construction detached from a massive, wooden, two-storeyed barn; his wife wore a white cap; his kinship network reached into the eastern United States. Important, too, is the fact that the specific socioeconomic and physical settings in which Plett and Bergey lived were significantly different. Bergey was from Waterloo County in southern Ontario
