Father was married to Martha Belefske, on Dec. 1, 1905, sharing joys and sorrows with her for over 36 years, when Mother was taken from his side through death on Aug. 14, 1941. This union was blessed with 7 sons and 6 daughters, of which 4 sons and 1 daughter preceded him in death. In April of 1906, our parents moved to Lanigan, Sask., and engaged in grain farming. In 1919 they again returned to Manitoba to take up farming in the Lorette area. Father yielded his life to Christ in 1921 and was added to the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, in November, 1921 to which he remained faithful to his end. In 1929 father and three children took seriously sick with typhoid fever and were hospitalized in Winnepeg. One son, Arthur, passed away due to typhoid and father was very low for some time. But God showed mercy and permitted him to return to his family in good health again. On June 19, 1945, he was married to Katherine Goossen Quasso, who was widowed with one son and three daughters. Father was blessed with her companionship for 18 years, when she passed away to her reward on July 21, 1963. Our parents moved to Steinbach in 1956 to retire in their present home. Father's health began to decline in 1961, when he underwent major surgery in the St. Boniface Hospital. Again in July of 1965 his health took a sharp drop, when he was hospitalized for a lengthy stay. Finally, he was rushed to the hospital on the 16th of June, 1966, where he quietly fell asleep that night, to await the great Judgment Day. We sorrow, but as those that have a hope that Father departed in peace, with a crown of life waiting for him in Glory. He leaves to mourn his departure, 12 children: Esther and husband Albert Penner, Ste. Anne, Man.; Ella and husband Edward Beer, Winnepeg, Man.; Caroline and husband Elmer Penner, Ste. Anne, Man.; Martha and husband David Toews, Minneapolis, Minn.; Dick and wife Betty, Winnepeg, Man.; Tillie and husband Walter Melnychuk, Ft.

Anne, Man.; Eugene and wife Lottie, Steinbach, Man.; 43 grandchildren. One sister Katherine. 4 brothers: George, Isaac, David and Cornelius. Preceding him are both our mothers, 4 children, one grandchild, his parents and six brothers. We would like to heartily thank all those who have untiringly shown their love to our father while he was still with us. May God reward you for it. Dearest father you have left us And our hearts with grief are filled. But in Jesus you are resting All your pains and prayers stilled. Oft we heard you pray and whisper As on Jesus you did call, For your burdens were so heavy Your concern was for us all. Father, you are not forgotten Though on earth you are no more, Still in memory you are with us As you always were before. Trials are over, hands are folded On a quiet and peaceful breast Sorrows are over, and tears have ended, Now, dear Father, you're at rest. --The children Funeral services were held in the Church of God in Christ, Steinbach, on June 20.
