• Notes

  Married: Source: Newspaper Article dated 1931 First Settlers' Descendants Hold Wedding Anniversary Kitchener, Feb 2 - Two direct descendants of Waterloo County's earliest settlers, Mr. and Mrs. Moses Betzner, to-day celebrated the 67th anniversay of their wedding quietly at their home at 11 Fairview Avenue. Mr. Betzner, who will celebrate his 93rd birthday on Feb. 18 was born on the old Betzner homestead, the first farm settled in Waterloo County, now the site of the historical society memorial to the county's pioneers, his grandfather being the original settler. Mrs. Betzner will be 87 years old on May 16. Her maiden name was Veronica Brubacher and she was descended directly from Joseph Sherk, the partner of her husband's grandfather in his pioneering efforts. Incidentally it was the grandparents to this couple who were chosen as the heroes of B. Mabel Dunham's novel of Waterloo County pioneer life, "The Trail of the Conestogo."
