Wohlgemuth, was born to Henry and Katherine Plett Wohlgemuth, in the village of Blumenhof, Man. on Feb. 18, 1887, and peacefully passed away in Steinbach Hospital on Mon. 12:45 PM Dec. 7, 1970, at the age of 83 years, 9 months, and 19 days. Early in the summer it became evident that father's health was failing. His condition got worse so that Oct. 20, he was admitted to the hospital. There his ailment was found to be cancer, and after about seven weeks additional complications caused his death. In his young years, at the age of 12, he lost his own father in death. In his early youth he found remission of sins by the grace of God and was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, in the year 1903, and remained in this faith without wavering unto his end. On Jan. 21, 1912 he was united in marriage to Katherine Penner. After taking care of his mother's farm for one and one half years they moved to a farm in Greenland. Later, for the last 3 years he resided with his youngest daughter in his own house at the place of his oldest son. Our dear mother was taken from him on May 18, 1962. Looking back we feel that father had his struggles in life. He often expressed his desire to be released from this world and go to that heavenly Home. Awhile before he suffered his last siege of sickness, his eyes became weakened, which created a special concern for prayer in him and the Lord restored his sight to where he could again spend much time reading the Word. In turn then he could impart to us impressions of his faith in the One who remains the Anchor of our souls, when human lips and all else will fail. Father's example of calmness and patience will yet linger in the hearts of many who have come in contact with him. Even in his time of intense suffering he manifested these graces, for which we want to thank the Lord. It is our prayer that we might meet again in Heaven without the loss of one. He leaves to mourn his parting: 5 daughters and 3 sons: Lena of the home; Nellie and husband Vernon Penner, Hillsboro, Kansas; Abe and wife Selma, Roblin, Man.; Katie and husband Ernest Reimer, Ste. Anne, Man.; Adina and husband Willie Goossen, Abbotsford, B. C.; Mary and husband Henry Reimer, Giroux, Man.; Frank and wife Elizabeth, Ste. Anne, Man.; and Walter and wife Helen, Ste. Anne, Man.; 33 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren; 2 sisters, Mrs. Anna DeVeer and Mrs. Margaret Toews, and a host of relatives and friends. Preceding him in death are his wife, his parents, 2 sisters, 3 brothers, 1 son, and 2 grandsons. Father's work on earth is finished He walked the last long mile No more will he greet our coming No more we'll see his happy smile. Our hearts feel bruised and broken Our soul crys, "Must it be?" So fast he faded, too soon he's gone From this world of pain he's free. Father is sweetly resting now Resting from years of toil and care He longed to go to Gloryland Reunite with Mother there. Sleep on, Father, we would not disturb Your blessed peaceful rest. Heaven's glories were waiting for you God called you home to rest. A picture of true life he left us In quietness he walked with God. Examples will linger ever round us Though he rest beneath the sod. His prayer was oft for his children And the grandchildren, too That we all should meet up yonder At Home beyond the blue. Funeral services were held Friday at 2 p.m. Dec. 11, 1970, at the Greenland church. Min. John Dueck had opening remarks and prayer. Min. Dave Penner read Scripture and brought the message from Isa. 30:15; Rev. 14:13. Interment was made in the nearby cemetery, where Min. Ronald Wohlgemuth led in a short service. _________________________________________________________ Heinrich was born in the village of Blumenhof, Manitoba. He married Katharina Penner in 1912. They lived and worked one and a half years for his mother. They purchased the east half of NW32-7-6E with buildings in Greenland. They had a mixed farm until they retired in 1955. They acquired and additional 20 acres from her parents, Henry Penners, across the road on the SW5-8-6E. When they retired they sold the farm to son Abram and built a small house on the yard where they lived until Katharina's death on May 18, 1962 of a brain hemmorrhage (stroke). Heinrich then moved their small house to the yard of son Walter in Greenland where he resided until his death of bone cancer and ultimately kidney failure. Heinrich served for some time as trustee for the Greenland school district in the 1920s. Katharina Penner Wohlgemuth was "hard of hearing and was deprived of the pleasure of communication in social life....In the spring of 1957 she broke her hip but through the summer resumed her duties. -from Johann Plett: A Mennonite Family Saga by Delbert F.
