Toews was born July 1, 1899 at Hochstedt, Manitoba and departed this life in Calgary General Hospital on Wednesday, June 24, 1964 at 9 o'clock A.M.. He attained the age of 64 years, 11 months and 24 days. By the ascertain of the doctor, the cause of death was Uremia. He came to Alberta with his parents in 1905 and grew to manhood in the community of Linden. He turned to the Lord and Saviour during a series of revival meetings and was baptized in 1918, remaining a true member in the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. He attended the Mennonite Collegiate Institute at Gretna, Manitoba and soon after, entered the teaching profession, wherein he remained a number of years. He was married to Katherine Toews in 1922 at Rosenort, Manitoba, at which place they later established their home. He being a lover of nature, founded a nursery, serving the neighboring community with different growth of plants and evergreen trees. To this union 7 children were born. During his teaching career his beloved companion Katherine suffered a severe attack of pneumonia and was taken from him in 1930. The following year he found a new life's companion in Margaret Loewen of Rosenort, and they were married in 1931. After a number of years in the teaching profession, he turned to farming wherein he remained until they sold their farm and moved to Linden, Alberta in 1947. Having already printed the "Children's Echo" in Manitoba, he continued publishing this little paper for some years. He taught one year at the Indian Day School at Sunchild, and showed great interest in other mission activities. Tragedy struck again, when our home was bereft by the sudden death of Mother Margaret in December 1959. After the death of companion he undertook a trip the following summer to Ft. Vermillion in the interest of Summer Bible School. Later, in 1961, he found in me, Katherine Giesbrecht, another companion to share life's joys and sorrows. We were married August 27, 1961. He accepted gladly into his family my 7 children. We spent some time living at the O'Chiese Indian Reserve, engaging in various activities concerning the welfare of the Indians. This work he greatly enjoyed. With his health failing more and more, we finally retired to our home in Linden. It was during this time he found and also confessed a lack in his Christian life, expressing a desire to reconsecrate himself and live closer to his Saviour. Seeking further medical help, he entered the Three Hills Hospital on May 5, from whence he was transferred to the Calgary General Hospital on May 15. Although he suffered much at times, his wish was that he could once more return to his home in Linden. This wish, however, was not granted, for his life slowly ebbed away. He had set his spiritual house in order, with the assurance of eternal life beyond the grave. For all of us, his passing was too soon. He leaves to mourn his departure, me, his wife Katherine, 17 children; Margaret at home; Jacob, Gus and Aileen, Jesse and Eleanor of Galgary; Willie and Emmeline, Bennie and Clara, Luise and Sammie Boese, Levi and Venice, Aaron and Agnes, Tina and Harold Wiebe of Linden; and Carl Schartner of Crooked Creek. Rosella and Walter Baerg, Marilyn and Carl Petersen, Bob Carriere, Evelyn and Abe Krahn, Violet and Paul Gaule, Clarence and Virginia, Allan and Lucy, Gordon and Jean Giesbrecht; 57 grandchildren, four brothers and 5 sisters and a host of relatives and many friends. Daughter Mary, Mrs. Carl Schartner and her infant son, preceeded him into the great beyond. We do not mourn as those without hope, but expect to meet in Heaven. A WORD OF GRIEF There's a Word of grief when loved ones die, One of the saddest-Called "Good-bye." But yet we know there comes a time When loved ones meet in Heaven's clime- When from the grave on land, on sea, Arise the saved in ecstacy. While here, we brush away our tears, That gather through the maze of tears, In yonder wonderland of song, Will come no disappointment, no wrong, For Jesus mansions did prepare, That all the ransomed with him share. We know you've gone to mansions fair, Dear Father, you are beck'ning there, You've wiped the sweat from off your brow, And all the pain has left it now. Your presence here will linger on, Until we too, our race have won. Funeral services were held in the Linden Church on Saturday, June 27, 1964. Minister Frank F. Hiebert spoke from Psalm 39 and I Cor. 5:1. Interment was made in the nearby cemetery.
