Read More	Mother Anna Toews (nee Giesbrecht) was born Aug. 8, 1880 in Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada, and went to her eternal reward Dec. 20, 1951, in the Bethesda Hospital, Steinbach. She reached the age of 71 years, 4 months, and 12 days. In the year 1898, at the age of 19, she felt the need of salvation, and accepted Jesus as her personal Saviour, and was baptized upon the confession of her faith into the Church of God in Christ, by the late minister Peter Toews. She remained a true and faithful sister unto the end. She was united in marriage to our father Jac. G. Toews on Feb. 10, 1901. To this union 15 children were born, of which 3 sons and 2 daughters preceded her in death, and also father, who went to his reward six years ago. Mother enjoyed fairly good health until 6 weeks ago, when she had an opportunity to go along with her son to Savannah, Mo. to visit her daughter who was in the cancer clinic. Mother had a small lump on her nose, and since being there she had it examined, which was pronounced cancer. So it was decided to have it removed. During her stay with the daughter Erna, they had enjoyed a blessed fellowship, in prayer and expressing her desires for that more abundant life. She also gave her testimony there that she had a steadfast, sincere faith in the Lord and Saviour, and we firmly believe and have the assurance that she has gone to those heavenly mansions, which the Lord has prepared for those that love Him. On Sunday, Dec. 2, after enjoying visitors in the afternoon, Harvey her son, and her grandchild Evelyn, noticed she was failing to answer questions. When being put to bed it was thought it might be a stroke, the doctor was immediately called and after examination the doctor stated it was a brain hemorrhage, and he advised she be taken to the hospital. We noticed quite an improvement the first week, but later had a relapse, after which we believe she was unconscious to the end. She gradually grew weaker, when at 4 A.M. Thursday she quietly and peacefully fell asleep. Those surviving to mourn her departure are 3 sons, 7 daughters, 7 sons-in-law, 2 daughters-in-law, 37 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, a step mother, 3 brothers and 2 sisters, also many other relatives and friends. Death has robbed us of our mother, Whom we loved and cherished so, It was mother, yes, our mother, Can we help but weep for you? Yes we miss her, oh! we miss her, When we see her vacant chair; And how sad the home without her, For there is no mother there. Mother's work on earth is ended, And her spirit has ascended. To be with our loving Saviour, For with God she has found favor. -The Family A short service was conducted at the home with Min. C. P. Wohlgemuth officiating. Funeral services were held in the Greenland Church Dec. 23, where Min. Jac. T. Wiebe opened with remarks and prayer, followed by John M. Penner reading Rev. 14:13 and Rev. 21:3,4, 8:5. Additional remarks were made by Min. John I. Penner. Burial was made in the nearby cemetery. _________________________________________________________ SPOUSE: Toews, Jacob G., 16 Mar 1878, Married: 10 Feb 1901; Children: 1 Toews, Johan, 23 Nov 1901 2 Toews, Gerhard, 23 Nov 1901 3 Toews, Elisabeth, 9 Dec 1903 4 Toews, Aganetha, 1 Apr 1905 5 Toews, Maria, 6 Mar 1907 6 Toews, Gerhard, 24 Jul 1908 7 Toews, Martha, 11 Apr 1910 8 Toews, Margaret G., 20 Mar 1912 9 Toews, Rosanna, 17 Mar 1914 10 Toews, Edward David, 13 Feb 1916 11 Toews, Helen, 6 Jan 1918 12 Toews, Levi Jacob "Leroy", 6 Jan 1918 13 Toews, Adina, 27 Dec 1919 14 Toews, Erna, 9 Aug 1921 15 Toews, Harvey, 7 Aug 1923 Parents: Father: Giesbrecht, Gerhard, 6 Aug 1846 Mother: Kornelsen, Anna, 20 Oct 1851
