Penner, was born May 5, 1922, near Lorette, Man. Departed this life Jan 22, 1947 in the Steinbach, Man hospital, at the age of 24 years. 8 months, and 17 days. Death was caused by burns received when their house was consumed by fire. She received her education in a nearby school. At the age of 16 years she felt her lost condition, and found peace with God and men. She was baptized and accepted into the Church of God In Christ, on Oct 23. 1938, and remained a member unto the end. On May 18, 1941 she was united in holy matrimony with Dan F. Reimer. To this union one girl was born, named Joyce, in 1942. This union was of short duration. On the 20th of Jan. while the brother was building fire in the stove with distilate an explosion occured, setting the house on fire, and all three, father, mother and the girl, received severe burns. They were rushed to the Steinbach Hospital, but it was not God's way that the sister should recover, and she passed away quite unexpectedly on Jan 22, 1947. During her last night of suffering, she was asked whether she was ready to meet her God, to which she replied, "I have found forgiveness, and have peace with God; Jesus is by my side." This leaves us a living hope that she has gone to eternal rest, to be with Jesus and His saints forever. She leaves to mourn her early departure, her deeply bereaved husband, who is still in the hospital. Joyce, also in the hospital; parents Abe M. and Helen Penner, and Bro. and Sister John T. and Anna Reimer, Grandmother from Mrs. Penner's side, 8 brothers and 2 sisters from her side, 1 brother and 4 sisters from his side, and many relatives and friends to mourn over her departing. Funeral services were held in the Greenland church, where Min. G. F. Giesbrecht opened, and John M. Penner spoke from Isaiah 38:1-3; Rev. 14:13. Addition by J. F. Barkman from Rom. 5:3. Closing remarks by C. P. Wohlgemuth. _________________________________________________________ TRAGEDIES OF THE J. T. REIMER FAMILY In 1946 and 47 the J. T. Reimer family has suffered three major tragedies. During the month of May, 1946 Bro. and Sister Frank Froese moved to Reston, Manitoba, where they had purchased a farm home not far from other members of the church. While they were unloading their belongings Sister Froese suffered a minor injury on her leg, which resulted in blood poisoning. By direction of the doctor she was taken to a hospital, for her condition was critical. Through God's grace and medical aid she recovered sufficiently to be with her parents at Steinbach. During her stay at Steinbach she received a phone call stating that a horse team had run away nearly killing her husband, and that he was in a hospital at Virden, Manitoba, forty miles from home. She was not well enough to go there. Two brethren were sent to render what help was needed. Frank suffered a double spine fracture, broken rib and leg, with many bruises, not much hope for recovery. But again God moved graciously and he has recovered to the extent that he can do light work and be with his family. In the month of August, 1946, Elmer Reimer who had moved to Swalwell, Alberta, helping his father-in-law, went to the pasture for the cows and was attacked by an enraged bull, nearly killing him. He was taken to the hospital at Calgary, where bones were set and he received treatments for a long time. He has also improved to where he can be about on crutches. He also attended the funeral of his sister-in-law recently. On Jan. 20, 1947 Brother and Sister Dan F. Reimer, who lived close to his parents near Steinbach, Man. suffered severe burns when their house was destroyed by fire. The husband was kindling a fire in the stove, using distilate, and the fire of the previous day apparently was not dead, causing an explosion. The stove standing near the outside door they all, father, mother, and the only child received seven burns before escaping. They were all rushed to the Steinbach Hospital. The mother was badly burnt, the husband had his right hand and face badly burned, and Joyce, 4 years of age, had less burns. All three were placed in one room. On the 22nd of Jan. the mother quite suddenly passed away as they were getting ready to eat. Little Joyce and the husband are both slowly improving, after the shock, which set them back some. They have lost everything they had, clothing, furniture, bedding and even what little money they had in their possession. At this writing both the father and little daughter are improving. I visited with them very recently, and the brother requests our interest in prayer, in accord with James 5:16. God's ways are not our ways, but let us remember those that are in bondage and tribulation. It is very hard for the brother to say, The Lord's will be done. I have written this report as a token of love to the stricken ones, and may it also serve as a warning to all. Remember that all fuel oils are dangerous and should not be used around fires. The Lord is calling us as a congregation to serve Him more earnestly and to forsake those things which are evil in His sight. May God bless and keep His children in the palm of His hand, is my wish and prayer. If God moves anyone to contribute to these unfortunate ones, please address your gifts to: Albert W. Friesen, Steinbach, Man. ---J. F. Barkman "Messenger of Truth" Issue 7, 1947.
