Loewen, was born on April 30, 1871, in South Russia; and as a four-year-old boy came to Canada with David and Anna Loewen, his parents, during the great immigration period of 1875, and settled at Hochstadt, Manitoba. In 1958, the 28th of March, 5 o'clock in the morning, father died at a respectful age of 86 years, 10 months and 28 days, in M. S. A. Hospital, Abbotsford, B. C. He suffered a stroke two weeks before his death. In the year 1895 he realized his lost condition, turned to God, experienced a conversion and became a member of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. Back in the year of 1898 he married Mary Isaac of Hochstadt, Manitoba. One child was born in this union. But soon after, mother and child left him for eternity and he was again alone. Two years later he went to the United States and found a helpmeet in Salome Hunsburger. To this union 2 sons were born. 1907, in the spring, Loewens moved from Nebraska, where they had lived for some time, to Alberta and homesteaded here in 1908. In 1909 his second wife died to leave him with Mose and Bennie in bereavement. In 1910 God led it so that he found me, Sarah H. Friesen, as third wife and we were joined in holy matrimony on Nov. 30, in the old church house at Hochstadt, officiated by the late Min. Abram Isaac. Six children were born to us, who all survive him. All eight children visited and served at the bedside of their father for which he rejoiced. Though unconscious at times he knew all the children when he became clear. In 1951 we bought a house in Linden, Alberta, and moved there after having lived 43 years on our homestead. In Sept. 1957 we undertook a trip to B. C. We made no decision as to how long we would stay, but the climate was very pleasing to us. Surviving in the hopes of meeting again in the home above, where no suffering, no parting will be, are: his wife, 5 sons, Mose, Innisfail; Benjamin, Swalwell; Aaron, Calgary; George, Dousana; and Frank, Edmonton; 3 daughters: Nellie (Mrs. Andy Kliever) Abbotsford, B. C.; Helen, (Mrs. John Braun) Bowness; and Margaret (Mrs. Carl Isaac) Linden; 27 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren, and many friends and relatives to mourn his departure. His pilgrimage is finished and he has entered that beautiful city above. We petition your prayers.-Mother and Children. Funeral services were held in the Linden church on April 1. Words of comfort were chosen by Min. F. F. Hiebert. Min. Ed. Boese made remarks at the grave.
