2686	Some documents refer to Mathias as Basilius Wurm. From Mitchell & Co.'s Canada Classified Directory for 1865-66 page 192 found at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/ Matthias is listed as a carpenter living in Berlin, Ontario. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The obituary of this ancestor has recently been posted at http://192.237.29.216/getperson.php?personID=I137893&tree=Eby as follows: Basilius Wurm died here on Friday after a short bladder ailment at the great age of 89 years, which he had attained on July 23rd. He was born in 1807 in Herbstein in the Vogel mountains in Hesse-Darmstadt; emigrated to Canada in 1852 and had resided ever since in Berlin. He was a building carpenter and was still practising his trade 5 years ago. In Germany, he had spent 12 years in the military, and that could still be seen in him in his old age, as he always walked "straight as a candle" and was always very tidily dressed. His wife Elisabeth, nee Loeb, who pre-deceased him in 1880, bore him 6 children, of whom 3 sons are deceased, and one son and 2 daughters are still living. His oldest son, Daniel, fought in the civil war in the United States and was killed there. Basilius was awarded a pension for this. His burial took place on Sunday afternoon and despite the rainy weather, large numbers of citizens followed his cortege to the cemetery.

2693	Source Ezra E. Eby Hannes Brech, "the ancestor of the family in this country, was a native of Switzerland and emigrated to this country at a very early date. He was of Mennonite ancestry, and in order to escape the threatened destruction of their party in Europe, he, with others, selected Pennsylvania as their place of refuge. Tradition has it that the old ancestor emigrated to America about the year 1751 and settled in what is now Dauphin(From the late Mrs. Samuel Eby, a grand-child of the old ancestor)County, Pennsylvania, where he died, probably in 1780. It is impossible at so late a date to ascertain the names of all their children, however, we know of two, a daughter named II Elizabeth, married to one named Betzner, who never resided in Canada, neither is there anything known of their descendants; and a son named II John."	Brech, Hannes (I04521)
2694	Source Ezra E. Eby Jacob Shantz, "was born in Switzerland about the year 1710. Owing to religious persecutions, he, with other, left their native home and went to Holland where they had the promise of protection from the persecuting parties by the Prince of Orange. Here he lived some fifteen years. Seeing so many of his co-religionists emigrating to America, besides being informed of the proclamation issued by William Penn, he at last decided to emigrate to America and settle among his co-religionists. He crossed the ocean in a vessel named "Townshead" and landed safely at Philadelphia in the summer of 1737. He may have resided in Germantown for some time. In the year 1745 we find him and his family located in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. What number of children he had could not be ascertained. We know that he was married twice. The children of his first wife were II Isaac, II Esther, and II Susannah, and from his second wife we have the record of only one son named II Christian. Old Jacob Shantz died in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, February 5th, 1781, aged a few months less than 71 years. He was buried in the Sprogell Cemetery, beside Magdalena, his first wife."	Shantz, Jacob (I02912)
2695	Source Ezra E. Eby Jacob Shoemaker, "the old progenitor was born in Canton, Berne, Switzerland, and when a lad of twelve years of age he, in company with his parents and others, moved to Pfaltz, Germany, where they, with other co-religionists, were promised freedom to worship the God of their fathers according to their views of the Bible. After residing here some twenty years they were subjected to the same persecutions as they were in Switzerland. Owing to the continual persecutions by the state party for not conforming to the church of the state, the old progenitor after the decease of his parents turned his face towards America, to which place he emigrated, for he had full confidence in the proclamations of William Penn who had proclaimed that all could worship the God of their fathers according to their views of the teaching of His Word and the dictates of their conscience. Such privileges our worthy ancestor, Jacob Shoemaker, considered a complete recompense for all his losses and privations in forsaking his friends, acquaintances, and native home. In May, 1737, he landed at Philadelphia and settled for a few years in Germantown. In spring, 1743, he moved to Lower Salford Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. All attempts made to ascertain his exact date of birth, to whom he was married and when he died proved fruitless owing to the fact that the family Bible, together with other records, were burnt with the house in which his son resided. Tradition has it that he was married to Mary Kunder and that he was about seventy-five years of age when he died and that his death took place some time during the year 1751,(So the late D . S. Shoemaker of Three Rivers, Michigan, informed the writer that the Progenitor died three years before his grandfather was born which was in 1754), consequently he must have been born in the year 1676, and was therefore 61 years of age when he came to America. He had a numerous family but all, save four sons died in infancy.	Shoemaker, Jacob (I04573)

He was twenty-nine years of age when he, in company with his parents and the rest of the family came to America. After being in America for a year or so he formed an acquaintance with Susannah Schueler to whom he was married in the year 1740. She was born in Basle, Switzerland, February 19th, 1719, and died November 20th, 1789. They resided in Montgomery County, near Schiebach (Now spelled Skippack), where they had a family of eight children	Shoemaker, Jacob (I04571)

He was married to Mary Tyson who was born April 7th, 1752, and died July 12th, 1803. In the year 1775 they moved to Frederick Township, Montgomery County, where he was engaged in farming and milling. His old mill, erected in 1737 on Swamp Creek, is still known as "'S Schuhmacher's Muehl" (Shoemaker's Mills). They had a family of five children, namely:...After the decease of old Jacob's wife he was again married to Magdalena Longenecker, widow of Isaac Urmy. Dates of her birth and death could not be ascertained. There was no issue of this marriage. After the decease of his second wife he made his home with his son, John, who resided on the old homestead. A year after the decease of his son John who died in January, 1828, he, in company with his son John's wife and three youngest children, and also his daughter, Mary, and her husband, George Bechtel, and family, moved to Canada. They first came to Waterloo to his grandson, Jacob S. Shoemaker. For some time old Jacob had his home with his son John's widow and his daughter, Mary, but after Jacob S. Shoemaker, his grandson, had his house built in Bridgeport, he made his home with him where he died November 19th, 1847, aged 93 years, 3 months, and 22 days. He was buried at the Mennonite burial ground, east end of the town of Berlin. He was a member of the Mennonite body.	Shoemaker, Jacob (I04569)

In 1833 they emigrated to America and in June of the same year they came to Buffalo, New York, where they made a stay of only three weeks. From here they moved across the boundary line and settled within one-half mile from St. Catharines, Lincoln County, Ontario, where he purchased a farm. Here she died September 18th, 1844. In April, 1846, Mr. Zeller disposed of his real estate and moved to Waterloo County, Ontario, where he purchased the farm of John Cressman, deceased. This farm contained 183 acres and the price paid for it was $4600. In 1854 this large farm was divided into two farms. The north part was purchased by Mr. Philip Zeller, the younger son of old Mr. Zeller, while Jacob Zeller retained the south part, containing the old "Cressman Buildings." Here Mr. Zeller died July 18th, 1854. His family consisted of five children	Zeller, Johann 'Phillip' (I00536)
