- "My great uncle, Aaron, is one and the same who married Lydia Shantz.... records of the Mannheim Mennonite Church cemetery shows that Aarondied at age 83 in 1957. The tombstone records his wife's name as LydiaShantz. I don't know whether he had a second wife named Lydia. I alsodon't recall that Aaron had any children. I do recall that my great uncle,Aaron, came to visit us on the farm when I was under age 5 or 6. He alwaysbrought white mint candies and offered them to us children, if we had thenerve to ask. I never had the courage to request a candy, but would ask my
aunt, Ellen, to ask on my behalf." Ken Eby
