Friesen, son of the late Gerhard and Maria Friesen, was born July 2, 1876 at Kleefeld, Manitoba. At the age of 11 he with his parents moved to Langdon, North Dakota, where he grew to manhood and helped his parents get established on a farm. In 1903 he moved to the Swallwell district in Alberta where he homesteaded. In 1907 we moved to Manitoba and again in 1912 to Whatchan B. C. In 1917 we moved to Swallwell, Alberta and after farming there for 19 years we moved to Crooked Creek, where father spent the last years of his life. Through his life father met up with many hardships and struggles but he endured to the end. He reached the age of 79 years, 8 months and 24 days, passing away quietly on March 26, at 11:30 a.m. In 1893 he felt his lost condition and was converted and found his Saviour. He was added into the church fellowship through baptism upon the confession of faith. He found a help meet in me, Anna Wiebe. We were united in holy matrimony on January 22, 1905. To this union 7 children were born. Three preceded him in death. He leaves to mourn, me, his deeply bereaved wife, two sons and two daughters; Anna, (Mrs. J. Bronson) John, Peter and Elizabeth; five sisters and two brothers, and many relatives and friends. He expressed his desire to go to the Saviour and we sorrow not as those that have no hope, but trust that he is resting with the blood-washed throng in the arms of Jesus. Minister Frank Hiebert had charge of the services. ~ The Family ~
