| Notes |
- From Ezra Eby Book
Joseph Baumann, "the fourth son of Christian Baumann, was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania, July 19th, 1766. He was married to Mary Baer, who was born January 23rd, 1772, and died October 29th 1842. In 1802 he was ordained as minister of the Mennonite body. He was a good man, and his sermons always made a deep impression upon the audiences who assembled at places of worship on Sabbath days. In May, 1816, he with his family moved to Canada and settled near Blair, Ontario. The family consisted of thirteen children.
- From "Reuben Bowman, His Family" by Fred Bowman 1948
JOSEPH BAUMANN, the youngest child of Christian, was born in Berks County on July 19th 1766. He was married to Mary Baer who was born on January 23rd 1772 and died on October 29 1842. They had a family of thirteen children, eight sons and five daughters, namely: Elizabeth, Salome, Jonathan, Mary, Christian, Joseph, John, Samuel, Judith, Leah, Wendel, Elias and Benjamin. In 1802 he was ordained a minister of the Mennonite Church. In 1816, he, with his family, moved to Canada and settled near Blair in what is now Waterloo County, Ontario. The writer recalls a story, often told by his father, of the Reverend Joseph being so certain of going to heaven, that, when questioned on the subject while seated at the dinner table and at the moment having a piece of meat on his fork, replied: “As sure as I am of eating this piece of meat, so sure am I of going to heaven.” At this moment his hand slipped, the meat fell to the floor and was promptly eaten by the cat. The Reverend Joseph, nevertheless, was very highly respected in the community as a deeply religious and sincere member of the church. He died on January 19th 1849 at the age of seventy-six years, his wife having predeceased him by six years.
