At the age of 16 she gave her heart to the Saviour, confessing and receiving remission of her sins, whereupon she was baptized and added to the Church of God in Christ, to which, though assailed by many struggles and trials, she remained faithful to her end. She went through many hardships, beings that her mother died just shortly before they left Russia on the long journey to Canada. In 1885 she was married to Gerhard Giesbrecht, a widower at that time, wherewith she took to herself the responsibility of motherhood of 5 children which by now all have gone to eternity. To this union 12 children were born of which 6 died in their young years. They lived in Steinbach for a time and later moved to Greenland on the farm. In 1907 on Nov. 17, her husband passed away leaving her with the children to mourn his early departure. She stayed on the farm till all her children were married, after that she stayed at her children's homes alternately and for some time at her sister's, P. I. Friesen, and family at nephew Andrew Friesens for two and a half years, till she became sick and was transferred to the Greenland Home about three years ago. Here she often expressed her longing for that heavenly home and at different times confessed her failings. We fully trust that God has accepted her as an heir in heaven. One daughter, the late Mrs. Abr. M. Penner of Lorette, Man. also son-in-law, Bro. Pete E. Friesen of Conway, Kansas, and one daughter-in-law, first wife of her son Abe Giesbrecht preceded her in death. She now leaves 5 children: Cornelius of Whitemouth, Man., Margaret, (Sis. P. E. Friesen), Conway, Kansas, David of Peabody, Kansas, David of Peabody, Kansas, Helen (Sis. Dan Hiebert) of Tampa, Kansas, Abram of Crooked Creek, Alberta, her step-mother, Sister Cornelius Eidse, aged 95 in Kansas and 4 sisters, Sis. Peter I. Friesen, Ste. Anne, Man., Sister Andrew Koehn, Canton, Kansas, Sis. Eli Koehn, Greensburg, Kansas, Sis. Edward Kruse, Galva, Kansas and her daughter-in-law, Sis. Henry K. Giesbrecht of Ste. Anne, Man. -The Children Funeral services were held at Greenland, Man. Introduction by Ed Barkman. Text by John M. Penner, closing remarks by Geo. F. Giesbrecht. Min. John P. Isaac officiated at the grave side. Interment in the nearby cemetery. _________________________________________________________ Born in the village of Fischau, Molotschna Colony, South Russia.
