Toews was born on March 16, 1878 at Steinbach, Manitoba, and went to be with the Lord on October 9, 1945, reaching the age of 67 years, 6 mo. and 23 days. Father grew to manhood at Gruenfeld where he also received his schooling. He felt his lost condition and gave his heart to God in 1898 and was baptized on the confession of his faith on March 27, joining the Church of God in Christ (Mennonite), whose faithful member he remained to his end. Even though in weakness, yet he prayerfully tried to live faithful and true to Him who loved him and gave Himself for him. On February 10, 1901 he was joined in marriage to Anna Giesbrecht, sharing joys and sorrows for over 44 yrs. To this union were born 15 children of whom 5 preceded him in death. About 3 years ago Father grew ill and gradually grew worse till he sought medical aid and so in March 1943 he underwent an operation in the General Hospital, which gave him partial relief until about 3 months ago when his condition again became quite critical. After some time of prayerful consideration he again went to the hospital on September 29. However after a few days the Doctor gave up all hopes of recovery. Father rapidly grew weaker and weaker till after 10 days in the hospital he quietly and peacefully passed on to his eternal home above. Mourning his departure are, Mother, Grandmother, seven daughters, three sons, one daughter-in-law, five sons-in-law, twenty-eight grandchildren, one sister, three brothers and many relatives and friends. Father firmly believed that "the fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much" and testified that he on especially two occasions had definitely received relief through the power of prayer. He was conscious until the very last and when asked whether he was ready and glad to go and meet his Saviour and Lord, he always affirmed that he was; therefor we mourn not as though without hope, for he left us with the full and blessed assurance that he was going to be with his Lord. --Mother and Children Father, thou hest left us lonely, Sorrow fills our hearts today; But beyond this vale of sorrow Tears will all be wiped away. Father, thou art sweetly resting On the lovely Saviour's breast, Where the wicked cease from troubling, And the weary are at rest. Father, thou are sweetly resting, Here thy toils and cares are o're. Pain and sickness, death and sorrow, Never can distress thee more. Bro. John M. Penner spoke words of comfort in the home. Funeral services were held in the Greenland church Oct. 13, 1945. Br. P. A. Penner had the introduction. Bro. Jacob T. Wiebe chose the text from Hebrews 4:9-11 and spoke in German. Bro. John M. Penner spoke in the English. At the graveside Bro. Corn. P.

Internment was made in the nearby cemetry. _________________________________________________________ SPOUSE: Giesbrecht, Anna, 8 Aug 1880, Married: 10 Feb 1901; Children: 1 Toews, Johan, 23 Nov 1901 2 Toews, Gerhard, 23 Nov 1901 3 Toews, Elisabeth, 9 Dec 1903 4 Toews, Aganetha, 1 Apr 1905 5 Toews, Maria, 6 Mar 1907 6 Toews, Gerhard, 24 Jul 1908 7 Toews, Martha, 11 Apr 1910 8 Toews, Margaret G., 20 Mar 1912 9 Toews, Rosanna, 17 Mar 1914 10 Toews, Edward David, 13 Feb 1916 11 Toews, Helen, 6 Jan 1918 12 Toews, Levi Jacob "Leroy", 6 Jan 1918 13 Toews, Adina, 27 Dec 1919 14 Toews, Erna, 9 Aug 1921 15 Toews, Harvey, 7 Aug 1923 Father: Toews, Johann F.
