Read More	Henry Loewen Toews was born to Jacob B. and Margaret Toews at Hochstadt, Manitoba, on September 2, 1884. He peacefully fell asleep in the Linden Nursing Home, Linden, Alberta, on April 16, 1984, reaching the age of 99 years, 7 months, and 14 days. Father received his early education in Manitoba. In his younger years he made the decision to follow the Lord instead of the pleasures of youth. Upon the confession of his faith, he was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, on July 29, 1906. by Bishop Peter Toews. He embraced this faith unto the end. Father was married to Katie Unruh by Min. Uncle Samuel Boese on July 8, 1908, at Sunnyslope, Alberta, where they took up a homestead. To this union were born nine children--six sons and three daughters. They farmed in this area until Mother passed away on January 27, 1957. This sudden parting left him very lonely. Father found another helpmeet in Susanna Schartner Baerg on September 6, 1964. He was bereaved again on February 12, 1967, after a short two and one-half years together. During this time, Dad lived in the village of Linden. He resided there until he moved to the Linden Nursing Horne. Dad was very interested in the welfare of people, not only his immediate family. He took a special interest in bringing the Gospel to the lost and dying. In his prayers he always included the spiritual welfare of the children and grandchildren. Our father enjoyed the affairs of life. He was involved in community projects and was a kind neighbor. All his life his interests went toward others, including a special concern for the Sunchild Indian Mission, where they spent a term after their retirement from active farming. We mourn the passing of our father but are assured that he is now resting with all the saints. He has lived a full life, and many precious memories will linger on. He leaves to mourn: four sons and three daughters: Claude and Mary Toews, Crooked Creek, Alberta; Lottie and Aron Wiebe, Mt. Lehman, British Columbia; Priscilla and Walter Klassen, Crooked Creek, Alberta; Paul and Agnes Toews, Heart Valley, Alberta; Walter and Lydia Toews, Stettler, Alberta; Olive and Paul Baerg, Edberg, Alberta; Lewis and Verda Toews, Blueberry Mountain, Alberta; 57 grandchildren; 122 great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. Through marriage Dad was the grandfather to the John I. Penner family. They were very dear to him. Many of the Penner grandchildren knew him as "Grandpa." He is also survived by three sisters: Helena, Mrs. Abe L. Regehr; Katherine, Mrs. Frank F. Hiebert; and Susie, Mrs. Henry L. Reimer. He was predeceased by his parents; our mother, our stepmother; a son in infancy; a son, Noah, of Crooked Creek, Alberta, in 1961; three brothers; and four sisters. Funeral services were held on Wednesday, April 18, 1984, at the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, Linden, Alberta. Min. Cornie Wiebe was in charge. Burial was in the local church cemetery with Min. Harvey K. Toews in charge.
