In 1874 Peter Wiebe and his family immigrated to Blumenort, Manitoba, Canada. Being a deacon Peter described some of the activities in the Gemeinde. He continued to serve the wider Kleine Gemeinde community in Manitoba in this capacity. As the senior deacon of the Blumehof congregation of the KG, Peter Wiebe seemingly had conduct of the account book documenting financial aid extended to various members and others in need. It appears that financial aid extended to various members and others in need. It appears that Peter Wiebe was responsible for transcribing this valuable record in the aftermath of the 1866 division and continuing the documentation during his time in office. Peter was a leading community man in Blumenort, Manitoba. From 1884 to 1886 he served as the Schulz or mayor. He was a good financial steward and by 1889 his assessment was $936, in the upper middle range for Blumenort. Many members of Peter's family joined the Holdeman Church in 1882 but he remained in the KG. He felt the different religious affiliations of his family compromised the integrity of his office and resigned in March, 1882. On Sunday mornings the Wiebes would leave home by sleigh or buggy, depending on the time of year, drop Father off at the KG worship house, and then continue on to the Holdeman church, where the rest of the family worshiped. Peter allowed himself to be baptized into the Holdeman Gemeinde on his deathbed to maintain peace in the family. After his death, his widow lived with their children in Greenland, Manitoba. In 1911 she moved with them to Needles, British Columbia, living with son Peter T. Wiebe, where she died.
