Read More	Brenneman - Christian B, son of Benjamin and Mary Hursh Brenneman, was born in Wayne Co, O, April 17, 1842, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs Sohpia Shenk, near Elida, Ohio, Oct 21, 1927; aged 85 y, 6 m, 4 d. He was baptized and received in the Mennonite Church in 1863 by bishop Abraham Rohrer. On June 2, 1863, he was married to Susanna Brenneman of Allen Co, O, with whom he lived in matrimony for 61 years, she having preceded him in death August 15, 1924. To this union were born three daughters - Sophia E (married to Isaac Shenk), Lydia M (deceased), and Mary C (Married to Charles Brenneman). Besides his two daughters he leaves two brothers (Adam and Abraham) and two sisters (Mrs Abraham Huntsburger and Mrs David Hilty). He also leaves seventeen grandchildren and forty-one great-grandchildren. Bro Brenneman moved to Allen Co, Ohio, in the fall of 1868. In Jan 1871, he was ordained to the ministry at the Sherrick (now Salem) church near Elida, Ohio, by Bishop George Brenneman. In this calling he served the Church faithfully as long as health permitted. He was a pioneer in evangelistic efforts in the Mennonite Church, traveling extensively in that work, and doubtless many people in many parts of the church cherish the fond recollection that thru his untiring efforts, and the mighty power of God accompanying his mighty voice, they were led to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. He was much concerned about the welfare of the Church, and labored earnestly that the Church might remain true to the faith of our fathers and be kept free from the entanglements of worldliness in all its forms. Our departed brother bore his last illness with patience and resignation and repeatedly expressed his desire to go home. The funeral was held at the Salem Church on the afternoon of Oct 23. Prehaps only twice in the history of the Salem Church did a larger number of people assemble at that place, and witness the laying to rest of a body in the Salem Cemetery. Services were conducted by Geo Ross, and assisted by G H Brunk, P E Brunk, J B Smith and David Good (home ministers) and S G Shenk of Continental, Ohio, and Andrew Shenk of Oronogo, Mo.
