1030	From Ezra Eby Book Wendell Hallman, "the youngest son of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Detweiler) Hallman, was born in North Dumfries Township, Waterloo County, Ontario, November 4th, 1827. His boyhood days were spent on his father's farm near Roseville. On February 13th, 1849, he was married to Nancy Schlichter who was born August 24th, 1829. Soon after their marriage they settled on a farm (The farm is now owned by Mr. Samuel Tohman) about a mile west of New Dundee, where they resided until March 20th, 1883, when they sold their farm and moved to Yale, Michigan, where he again purchased a farm and followed farming for several years but now lives retired. Nearly thirty years ago he was ordained to the ministry for the River Brethren (Dunkards) denomination, for which body he is still a diligent worker. As a minister he is well liked by his congregation and others, and his sermons are distinguished for the great amount of well-digested thought so vividly expressed in the plainest language, that no one hearing him preach can say, "I did not understand him," for all who wish to be taught out of the Word of God, will say, "Mr. Hallman's sermons are always Gospel-like and soul-cheering." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Found on Feb 28, 2005 at http://douglas.boddy.com/genealogy/hallman/canada/children.htm Rev. Wendell Hallman, the youngest son of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Detweiler) Hallman, was born in North Dumfries Township, Waterloo County, Ontario, November 4th, 1827. His boyhood days were spent on his father's farm near Roseville. On February 13th, 1849, he was married to Nancy Schlichter who was born August 24th, 1829. Soon after their marriage they settled on a farm about a mile west of New Dundee, where they resided until, March 20th, 1883, when they sold their farm and moved to Michigan, where he resided for some years. They then moved to Berlin, Ontario, where he is still living (they lived here until they died). Nearly 40 years ago he was ordained to the ministry of the River Brethred (Dunkards) denomination. As a father he always sought to give his children wholesome advice. He was always very strict in training his children, sometimes we children thought perhaps a little too strict, but the writer (Rev. H.S. Hallman) at least does not think so now. As early as the writer can recollect, the family was gathered together every morning, and while we were all quietly seated father would read a chapter out of the Bible, followed by an earnest simple prayer. These moments made and left a deep impression on the minds of the children, and must certainly have been a source of strength to those who were followers of Christ. His most earnest desire has always been that all his children might be saved. As a minister he is well like by his congregation and others. A view of his former homestead is shown below.	Hallman, Wendell (I05291)

He preached regularly and attended frequently at funerals. His time was largely occupied in visiting the sick and giving words of consolation to such who were seeking their spiritual welfare, and his life was a busy one. So much of his time was devoted to his pastoral duties that he was almost unable to attend to his private affairs. Although sacrificing much of his time in the service of the church of his choice, he would not receive any compensation for the time devoted in behalf of the church, but looked for his reward beyond the present life where the faithful labors in His vineyard shall be spiritually rewarded for all ages of eternity. They had a numerous family, being composed of sixteen children.	Weber, Rev. Abraham C. (I22622)
1035	From Ezra Eby Book Amos S, Cressman, "the eighth and youngest son of Abraham and Mary (Schneider) Cressman, was born September 4th, 1834.

They reside in the township of Wilmot, south of New Hamburg, Ontario, where he followed farming for many years but now lives retired. When a young man he joined the church of his choice, "The Mennonite", and after being a member for some years he was, June 19th, 1864, ordained as deacon at the Blenheim Church by Bishop Henry Shantz. With the increase in the membership of the Mennonite body it was deemed expedient by the ministry to have a co-laborer appointed, so Mr. Cressman was ordained to the ministry, June 30th, 1867, at the Shantz Meeting House, Upper Road, Wilmot Township, by Bishop Henry Shantz. And after Bishop Henry Shantz's incapacity (He was a corpulent man and in his old age was very heavy, so much so that he could hardly help himself. This, connected with age and besides being troubled with asthma, caused his inability to attend to the duties of his diocese.) to attend to his large field of labor it became necessary to appoint a younger man to have charge over his diocese, to which Mr. Cressman was ordained as bishop, January 24th, 1875, at the Detweiler church, Dumfries, (being the old Bishop's home) by Bishops Shantz,* Hagey, and Martin, which position he still holds. Since his ordination as minister and bishop the church has had many and severe trials and difficulties and he has met with much opposition from some of his co-religionists, yet up to the present he has proved faithful, according to his views, to the doctrines of the church over which he is presiding as bishop. To him and his wife were born eight children.	Cressman, Amos S. (I18147)

But his sudden change of life from that of a farmer, accustomed to out door work, to that of an office clerk, besides inhaling the poisoned air arising from the various dyes used in the woolen mills, caused his constitution, which was none of the strongest, to give way and he, after an illness of some time, died of consumption, June 9th, 1869. He was not married."	Bricker, Benjamin (I22440)
