Read More	My husband, our father and grandfather, Cornelius Martin Penner, was born June 3, 1894, at Greenland, Manibota the son of Martin and Agnes Toews Penner and passed away at 5 o'clock p.m. on Sunday April 11, 1965, reaching the age of 70 years, 10 months and 8 days. In his youth he lived with his parents in the Greenland district, where he attended school and grew to manhood. On December 7, 1916 he was married to Mary Penner. They settled on his father's farm where they lived till his death. The parents felt their lost condition and upon forgiveness of sins were added to the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite on March 29, 1917. They shared joys and sorrows for nearly seven years, when mother was taken from his side, leaving father a widower with three children. On December 16, 1923, father was married to me, Annie Bartel. This union was blessed with 10 children and we shared life's joys and sorrows for over 41 years. Father endeavored to be a help in the church and community, even though with mistakes and shortcomings. He was an example to us in many respects and when we children reached the crossroads, he pointed us to the way of the cross. Father's scriptural instructions and admonitions will long be remembered. Father enjoyed fairly good health most of his life till the last couple of years, when it became necessary to seek medical aid. He did considerable travelling and just a few days before his passing went on a bus trip to the south, coming home on Thursday evening and then on Sunday, April 11, in the afternoon, when he had just finished writing a letter, he passed away without saying a word of goodbye. Committing him into the hands of the Almighty God, who does all things well. He leaves to mourn his sudden departure: me, his sorrowing companion, Annie, 8 sons and 5 daughters: Edward and Elizabeth, Ben and Lillie of Ste. Anne; Margaret and Wilfred Doerksen, Pete and Mary, Dan and Dorothy of Elma, near Whitemouth; Henry and Esther of Barron, Wisc.; Helen and Elmer Toews of Swalwell, Alta.; Naomi and Clifford Warkentin of Mexico; Menno and Marlene of Rocky Mt. House, Alta.; Corney of Linden, Alta. and Joseph of the home; 51 grandchildren, 2 brothers: Jac. and John M. Penner of Ste. Anne, and one sister, Katherine, Mrs. Abe Eidse of Lorette, Man. Four brothers, two sisters, and three grandchildren preceded him in death. --Mother, Children and grandchildren. The funeral was held in the Church of God in Christ (Mennonite), Ste. Anne, April 16. Min. Joe Isaac (Kleefeld) had the sermon, based on Psa. 91:1-10, Eccl. 9:5, 6 and Job 14:10-12. Many came to pay their last respects. Interment was made in the adjoining cemetery. _________________________________________________________ Obituary of Cornelius M. Penner Sonntagabend, den 11 April, verschied an Herzschlag, ganz ploetzlich, Freund Cornelius M. Penner, Greenland, im Alter von 70 Jahren und etwa 10 Monaten. Er war wohl nur Donnerstag, von Arkansow, U.S.A., heimgekommen. Freitag fuhr er nach dem Concordia Hospital in Winnipeg und besuchte noch Freund Abram C. Penner, der dort wegen Schlaganfall weilt. Sonnabend nachmittags traf ich ihn in Steinbach im I.G.A. Laden. Er setzte sich noch bei mir auf den Stuhl und wir durften uns noch verschiedenes austauschen. Seitdem wir beide als Kaesefabrik Direcktoren im Amt waren, datiert unsere engere Bekanntschaft. Verschiedene Male ist er auch in unser bescheidenes Heim eingekehrt. Als in den dreissiger Jahren eine Depression einsetzte war Herr Penner einer der ersten, der mit dem Bau einer Kaesefabrik in Landmark zu wirken anfing. Er wurde wohl auch der erste Praesident der Fabrik und zu einer Zeit wurde er als Verkauefer von Kaese von allen Fabriken der Ostreserve ernannt. Noch ehe die grosse Landmark Kaesefabrik ihre Taetigkeit beendete, in den juengeren Jahren, fing Freund Penner an sich mehr missionarish zu betaetigen. Ich denke, es ist kaum jemand in der Ostreserve, der mehr Hausbesuche gemacht hat. Er machte bei reich oder arm in der Hinsicht keinen Unterschied. Vor einigen Jahren trat Cornelius M. Penner (1894-1965) Cornelius M. Penner er aus der Gemeinde in Greenland aus und hielt selbst Versammlungen in seinem Hause ab. Er wird ueberlebt von der zweiten Gattin, 8 Soehnen und 5 Toechtern, wohl alle verheiratet, ausser der juengste Sohn Joe, noch daheim. Ausserdem ueberleben ihn etwas ueber 50 Grosskinder, zwei Brueder, Jakob und Johann M. Penner und eine Schwester, Frau Abram Eidse. Das Begraebnis war Freitagnachmittag, den 16 April. Zuerst kamen viele Teilnehmer nach ihrem Heim, wo der Verstorbene geboren und seine uebrige Wohlfahrt verlebt hat. Dann fuhren die dort versammelten nach dem Greenland Versammlungshaus, wo die Leiche auf dem Friedhof bestattet wurde. Nachher fand hier noch ein TrauerGottesdienst statt, wo das stattliche Gotteshaus noch ganz angefuellt war mit Teilnehmern. - Steinbach Post, April 20, 1965, p. 10
