Toews was born to Jacob B. and Margaret Toews, on October 12, 1876 at Hockstadt, Manitoba. After an illness which started in October 1965, his life slowly ebbed away, and he peacefully passed into the Great Beyond Wednesday forenoon, June 29, 1966, at the Linden Nursing Home. He reached the age of 89 years, 8 months and 17 days. His boyhood days were spent in Manitoba where he also grew to manhood, near the village of Kleefeld. Here he was united in marriage in 1902 to Maria Loewen. The following year, 1903, they came to Alberta to take up a homestead in the Sunnyslope district. This union was blessed with four sons and three daughters. Feeling the need of a Saviour, they obeyed His call and were added to the Church of God in Christ (Mennonite) in 1910. When a settlement was established in Whatshan Valley, B. C. they moved and lived there from 1912-1917. When they returned to Alberta he farmed till his retirement in 1948. On Feb. 14, 1936 mother was suddenly taken from his side, after sharing life's blessings and sorrows for 34 years. He found another helpmeet and married me, Mrs. Katherina Esau of Steinbach, Manitoba on Dec. 26, 1936. We have shared over 29 years. We are confident he had his spiritual house in order, for he spoke of the assurance of eternal life.
