2625	Regarding Rauischholzhausen, Germany.... Anna Barbara Lauer was born in Holzhausen, Hesse, Germany. There are several places named Holzhausen in Hesse. Our source from www.ahnenforschung-berg.de began searching and finally found the birth record of Anna Barbara Lauer in a nearby place which is called Rauischholzhausen today. It was renamed at some time to distinguish it from other Holzhausens. Rau was the name of the noble family that had their castle there. So their familiy name was placed in front of the place name. So Rauischholzhausen means Rau's Holzhausen. Her confirmation record reads "nata in Holzhausen in Unterhessen" which translates to "born in Holzhausen in Lower Hesse.	Lauer, Anna Barbara (I15153)
2626	Regehr, Ted D. "Hallman, Eli S. (1866-1955)." Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online. December 2003. Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online. Retrieved 2 January 2007 www.gameo.org/encyclopedia/contents/h3551me.html Eli S. Hallman: minister and bishop of the Sharon Mennonite Church at Guernsey, Saskatchewan. Field Secretary for Goshen College, and bishop in congregations in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, was born 26 February 1866 in Waterloo, Ontario, and died at Akron, Pennsylvania, on 25 August 1955. He married Melinda Clemens (18 May 1873-12 February 1956) on 9 April 1893. They were the parents of five children. Hallman joined the Methodist church in Ontario at the age of 21, but joined the Mennonite Church following a revival conducted by the Mennonite evangelist, J. S. Coffman. He was ordained as a minister at the First Mennonite Church in Kitchener, Ontario on 17 June 1897. During the first seven years of his ministry, he spent the greater part of his time conducting evangelistic services in Ontario and parts of the United States. Then, in 1905, he agreed to accompany a group of Mennonites who were moving West to the Quill Lake Mennonite Reserve in Saskatchewan. He served as the minister of the new Mennonite congregation at Guernsey, Saskatchewan, and in 1907 he was ordained in Ontario as a bishop to have oversight of the newly organized Alberta-Saskatchewan Mennonite Conference. In western Canada, and later in the southern United States, Hallman demonstrated love and acceptance of ministers of other denominations, especially the General Conference ministers of nearby communities. He was also a strong supporter and became a member of the Canadian Mennonite Board of Colonization which facilitated the immigration of more than twenty-thousand Mennonites from the Soviet Union to Canada in the 1920s. His openness to other Mennonite groups brought him many invitations to take part in special services, but he never apologized for the practices of his own congregation and conference. He tried to be firm and exercise redemptive love, and was biblical in his teaching. He greatly enjoyed teaching in the district winter Bible schools which he strongly supported. Hallman accepted an appointment to serve as Field Secretary of Goshen College in 1912, but in 1916 the family moved to Grand Bay, Alabama, for health reasons, and a little later to Allemands, Louisiana, where he assisted in the formation of a new congregation. The family returned to Guernsey, Saskatchewan, in 1919, where he again served the Sharon Mennonite Church until 1928 when the Hallman family, again for health reasons, moved to Falfurrias and later in 1932 to Tuleta, Texas. There he served congregations in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas as bishop until his retirement in 1951. Throughout his life he demonstrated a great interest in evangelism and in missions. Two of his five children became missionaries in Argentina. After his retirement he lived in Akron, Pennsylvania, where he died on 25 August 1955 at the age of 89.	Hallman, Eli Schmitt (I17178)
2627	Remarkable Scene at Penrith The funeral at Penrith Cemetery on Sunday afternoon provided one of the most remarkable scenes witnessed at Penrtih for many years. Sgt. Ploethner was well known and very popular in the town. And this, combined with the tragic circumstances of his death sufficed to begin a wave of sympathy which came to a head in the neighborhood of the cemetery in the assembly of thousands of people. It is against the local rules to have Sunday funerals but an exemption was made in this case on account of the Canadians who did not want to sacrifice Monday from work. The interment was accompanied by military honors and long before the procession was due to start the Beacon Road was crowded with people. It had been decided, wisely, in the circumstances not to admit the public to the cemetery. And the regular police had the assistance of band of specials and Canadians from the Beacon to keep the people to the side of the road nearest the town. The body had been taken during the forenoon from the Cottage Hospital to the Drill Hall. And it was from the latter place that the procession started. The whole of Portland Place was packed with people, while two dense lines formed a human avenue the full length of Wordworth Street. The coffin, which was draped with the Union Jack and surmounted by the Sgt.’s cap and belt, was placed on a low lumber wagon which was drawn by two Canadian horses on one of which rode a postulant. The band, conducted by Mr. J. Varty, lead the procession playing the Death March. Then following, a firing party of 14 men and a bugler from the Winfel camp. Following this was a wagon which was immediately followed by the bearers. All the Sgt. Majors and Sgts. From the West Moreland camp, with the exception of one, the Staff Sgt. from Beacon who had been with Ploethner since leaving Moose Jaw, Canada. Next came the men from Winfell camp under Major Walker and other officers and then followed the Canadians from the Beacon under Captain Spence, Lieut Glenfield and others. The Penrith volunteers, commanded by Captain Fleming came next. The rear was being brought up by the cadets under Lieut.’s Kidd and Watson. The remains were met at the gate. As the uniformed men had been admitted to the cemetery the gates were locked. While the short service was being held in the chapel, the soldiers were formed in a hollow square around the grave. Before reading the committal sentences the Captain Edmondson gave a short address in which he spoke of the supreme sacrifice made by the deceased in leaving his home in that far away dominion to assist his mother country. He had been to France and was one of the wounded heroes of Vimy Ridge. After being wounded he was put to work in a less exciting but no less noble sphere and now had met his end in this remarkable manner. From the circumstances Captain Edmondson drew the lesson of spiritual watchfulness. After completing the service the captain saluted the commanding officer and steeped aside for the firing party. Three volleys were fired, and then the bugler, accompanied by Mr. J. Sanderson and Mr. J. Smith on the side drum sounded the Last Post. The soldiers were then allowed to break their line in order to step up to the grave to have a last look at the coffin of their comrade. A few minutes later the soldiers marched away and all was again quiet save for the singing of the birds on the beautiful hillside. There was a magnificent offering of choice flowers including a large wreath formed in the device of the CFC badge sent by his Winfield comrades. Others were from the beacons, officers and men. Another testified to the sympathy of Lieutenant and Mrs. Reeve. One from the Sergeant’s Mess was inscribed “To a brave Vimy Ridge hero.” And the remainder were from Penrith and other local friends. After the grave had been filled in the public were admitted to the cemetery. Before leaving, Captain Edmondson plucked a few flowers from the wreath to send to the deceased’s relatives in Canada. A touching close to a pathetic scene.	Ploethner, Sgt. William Carl (I03544)
