Wiebe Jacob was 4 years old when his father died. Following is his account as he remembers it: “On December 13, 1876, thirteen sleighs (including my father’s) left for the bush for lumber. It was a mild day, so that the snow was melting. I can well remember that I sat at the window and all the ice on it was melted away. At about 4 p.m. a cold north-westerly storm again broke out and immediately the window froze over. I didn’t think anything of it, but Mother did. At about 9 p.m. my Uncle Peter Wiebe came to our window and said that our father would stay at Blumenhof for the night, but what a message in the morning! A young lad, Peter Fast, had come from Russia with our parents and was also in the group coming home from the bush, but since he was very cold, he stayed at Blumenhof. It is also so clear in my mind when young Peter Fast stepped into our house in the morning, looked around somewhat bewildered, and asked where our father was. Mother repeated what Uncle Peter Wiebe had said, that Father had stayed in Blumenhof for the night. Peter Fast said he was not in Blumenhof but it appeared that one team had over-nighted south of Blumenhof. Mother immediately said, ‘Then Father is dead.’ She right away set out to see for herself and after passing all the houses of Blumenort (we lived at the west end, and Blumenhof was to the east) she met a man coming from that direction. She was given to understand that the worst had come. Here it appears that my memory fails me somewhat. But I do remember that the three of us, Mother, Peter and I were at Grandparents at the east end of Blumenort. What a tragic sight! – our father, a frozen corpse in a cowering position, lying in the sleigh! What a vivid recollection! Children that age soon overcome such a tragedy. I was only four and the oldest of three. Our grandparents, Peter Toews’s, took Peter into their home. Anna and I stayed with Mother who had the help of young Peter Fast. - From Autobiography of Jacob T. Wiebe 1872-1965. Unpublished booklet. Pp3-4.
