April 2, 1967. She reached the age of 90 years, 2 months and 16 days. She grew to womanhood and received her education by attending German school near her home in Manitoba. She was a willing worker and was sometimes called upon to help her father with his farm work. At the age of 15 years she felt her lost condition and by prayer and supplication and upon the confession of her faith and the forgiveness of sins, she was added to the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite through water baptism, to which she remained a faithful member. On January 22, 1905, she was united in Holy Matrimony to Gerhard W. Friesen. This union was blessed with 4 sons and 3 daughters. Father and Mother farmed near Swalwell, Alberta for several years after their marriage, then moved to Manitoba. In 1912 they with other families settled at Needles, British Columbia. After 5 years of struggles in pioneering here, the community dissolved and our parents moved back to Acme, Alberta, where they took up farming again. In 1936 they came to Crooked Creek and joined their children who were already settled there. Three children pre-deceased her in death, Elizabeth and Henry in infancy and Herman, age 15 years in 1922 and 1 son-in-law, Jasper Bronson on August 22, 1956, at the age of 59 years. Father and mother shared joys and sorrows for over 51 years, when Father was called away in death in March 1956. After that Mother made her home mainly with her daughter, Anna. She was quite well and active until December 1966 and up to this time busied herself making rugs and helping entertain friends that came to visit her. In December of last year she suffered 2 strokes, which caused impediment of speech. On March 30 she fell near her bed. This was painful, so we took her to the local hospital where an x-ray showed a fractured hip bone. She was then taken to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton, Alta., where she quietly passed away 2 1/2 days later. Surviving her are 4 children: Mrs. Anna Bronson; John and wife Lillian; Peter and wife Anna, all of Crooked Creek and Elizabeth of Ponoka, Alberta. 22 grandchildren, 50 great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her departure. BEYOND THE GRAVE Beyond the grave, our homeland Our loved ones, eager wait, With welcoming embraces So near to heaven's gate. Beyond the grave, exultant We'll soon join them in their song, Of praises to our Saviour With yonder countless throng. Beyond the grave, tomorrow, Home lies not far away. We shall arrive but shortly; Then everlasting day. So near is God our Father, So near, our Mother gone. The light within the windows, And Oh! so bright their song. ~ The family ~ Funeral services were conducted in the Rosedale Church at Crooked Creek, Alta., at 2 P.M. on April 5, 1967. Minister Peter Thiesen brought the message from Gen. 2:7; 3:19.; 5:24 and James 4:13-17. At the graveside Minister Martin Barkman spoke words of comfort from 1 Cor. 15:50-58. Interment was made in the Rosedale Cemetery.
