Penner, was born Nov. 23, 1883, at Blumenort, Manitoba, and departed this life on May 28, 1953, in the Concordia Hospital in Ste Boniface, reaching the age of 69 years, 6 months, and 5 days. On August 18, 1905 he was united in marriage with Aganetha Giesbrecht. Twelve children were born to this union, two of which preceded him in death. Mother went to the great beyond on Dec. 3, 1947. He repented, found forgiveness of his sins, was baptized and added to the Church of God in Christ, (Mennonite). His was not on a bed of roses, but much the rather sore were his trials and many a weary way he travelled. In September 1948 he entered his second marriage with widow Jacob Giesbrecht. He enjoyed fair health till a few weeks before his departure, when he contracted stomach flu. On Thursday, May 21, in the evening, he was taken to the hospital, where the Dr. pronounced it to be diabetes and stomach catarrh, but gave hopes for recovery. On May 22, he fell into a coma, when the family was called together, but he revived again and lingered along almost a week, when on May 28, he fell into a second coma, when he had a vision, which he told very clearly when he awoke again. He saw the beauties of heaven, what a wonderful place God had prepared for us as poor mortals, and also the awful place of torment for the lost. He said God showed him his whole life, how sinful it had been, and now of late, how very sinful it seemed to him. But God in His great mercy also showed him very clearly that He had forgiven him all his sins, beckoning with his hands, he said Jehovah was coming to get him. He said it does not pay to live a life of sin, but much the rather, we should truly love each other and walk the pathway of truth. Again and again, he mentioned the wonderful mercies of God to him as a poor sinner, and then passed to the great beyond in a clear state of mind. He leaves to mourn his too soon departure, his sorrowing wife, two daughters, Leah (Mrs. Ben Giesbrecht), Elma (Mrs. Robert Toews), eight sons, Frank, Martin, Edwin, Harvey, Lincoln, Cornie, Aaron, Allen; four daughters-in-law; three sons-in-law; nineteen grandchildren; five brothers; two sisters and a host of relatives and friends.-The Family Funeral services were held on Monday, June 1, 1953 at Prairie Rose, Manitoba. Burial was made at the Greenland Cemetery. _________________________________________________________ Birth: 23 Nov 1883, Manitoba Death: 28 May 1953 1st marriage: Giesbrecht, Aganeta E., 18 Aug 1887, Married: 21 Aug 1905; Children: 1 Penner, Frank G., 23 Oct 1906 2 Penner, Martin, 30 Jun 1908 3 Penner, Edwin G., 18 Sep 1910 4 Penner, Harvey G., 29 Mar 1913 5 Penner, Wesley, 30 May 1915 6 Penner, Leah G., 2 Jul 1917 7 Penner, Lincoln G., 17 Apr 1919 8 Penner, Cornelius G., 20 Oct 1920 9 Penner, Agnes G., 5 May 1922 10 Penner, Aron G., 11 Mar 1926 11 Penner, Allen G. 12 Penner, Elma G. 2nd marriage: Reimer, Elisabeth R.
