Eleven children were given us who are all married except Eva, also sixty-eight grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. One great-grandchild, seven grandchildren preceded him in death also Mrs. H. T. Reimer our daughter, Mrs. John Sobering our daughter-in-law and Mr. John E. Friesen our son-in-law. While still in Hungary he corresponded with Bishop Toews regarding his soul's salvation and soon after our arrival in Canada in 1900 he was baptized and added to the church. He remained a faithful member unto the end. He always filled his pew in church and Sunday School, in fact he was one of the organizers of Sunday School many years ago. About four years ago he suffered a paralytic stroke and since that time his health failed. On Nov. 15, 1943 just before retiring he fell and broke his leg. We called the family doctor and he had to resort to bed. He was admitted to the local hospital on Nov. 22 and it seemed they could do little for him. He closed his eyes in death on Nov. 24, 12:30 p. m. at the age of eighty years, nine months and four days. He leaves me, the bereaved mother, ten children, fifty-nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren to mourn his departure. Also many friends he made while still in business will remember him, but we are consoled to know that he has gone home to rest and we shall meet him on the resurrection morn. -----The family The funeral services were held at Steinbach Nov. 28. Many friends and neighbors came to pay their last tribute to the loved one. Bro. J. F. Barkman made the introduction after which Bro. G. F. Giesbrecht read for a text Ps. 90:12 and 2 Cor. 5:1. Bro. J. T. Wiebe made closing remarks and lead in prayer. Interment was made in the local cemetery with all the children present except Mrs. Jac. D. Toews and Mrs. John E. Friesen, both of California, and Eva.
