Ezra Baer, youngest son of Deacon Henry and Leah Baer, was born in Waterloo County, Ontario, November 30, 1890; died at the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital following an operation for appendicitis on January 2, 1936; aged 45 years 1 month 3 days.
His illness was only of a few days' duration and therefore his death came as a distinct shock. At the age of 12 he confessed Christ as his personal Savior and united with the Mennonite Church. His testimony a few days before his death was, "I am ready to go."
On September 9, 1919, he was united in marriage with Elizabeth Good of New Hamburg, Ontario.
This union was blest with 5 sons and 1 daughter.
He leaves his wife, 5 sons, 1 daughter, his aged mother, 5 brothers and 4 sisters.
Funeral services were held January 5, by M. H. Shantz at the home and M. Hallman and J. W. Witmer at the Latschar Mennonite church. Text, II Corinthians 4:17, 15. A large concourse of people had gathered to pay the last tribute of respect.
Burial in adjoining cemetery.
