Barkman, beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, son of Jacob and Maria Barkman, was born in Steinbach, Manitoba, February 24, 1884, and peacefully fell asleep in the Lord at home, 6:30 in the morning of March 19, 1969, at the age of 85 years and 23 days. His passing away was caused by cancer. He found in me, Anna Toews, his life's companion, and we were married November 23, 1905. This union was blessed with 6 sons and 5 daughters. In 1906 we felt the need of a Saviour, and upon repentance, forgiveness of our sins and faith in Christ Jesus, we were baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, to which he remained faithful to the very last. We feel we had a good father, who manifested a concern for the family's spiritual and natural welfare; not only in word but also by example: in attending church services regularly and on time, also in being punctual with his obligations, and having all things in order. He provided well for his family, enduring many hardships. He grew to manhood in the Steinbach vicinity, and had only one winter of school in his life. In 1910 we moved to Alberta and settled down on a farm near Sunnyslope, later moving to the present location where we resided till his departure. In the winter of 1911, father suffered a near fatal attack of typhoid fever. Again in 1923, he took sick, which brought him very close to death. We want to thank the Lord again for those answered prayers when He chose to spare him, and we are privileged to share many joys and sorrows together for over 63 years. He was a cheerful and conscientious person, who enjoyed his work in doing a variety of things both temporally and spiritually. He served as church usher and funeral director in the community for many years. His strong constitution and a will to live brought him through many months of intense suffering and discomfort, finally finding relief in passing away. He leaves to mourn his passing, his deeply bereaved wife; 6 sons and 5 daughters: Margaret and Ben Loewen of Swalwell, Alta; Mary and David Schartner and Dave and Dorothy Barkman of Clearbrook, B. C.; Abe and Justina Barkman of Bradner, B.C.; Ben and Annie Barkman of Swalwell, Alta.; Anna and Peter Baerg of Linden, Alta.; Linda and Abe Friesen of Mt. Lehman, B. C., Claude and Nellie Barkman; Frank and Winnie Barkman; Allen and Elsie Barkman; and Rose and Peter Dueck, all of Swalwell, Alta. Two brothers: John and Peter Barkman of Ste. Anne, Manitoba; 50 grandchildren, and 56 great-grandchildren, as well as many relatives and friends. One grandson, Eugene Friesen, preceded him in death. Though we mourn his departure, we feel grateful to God that father left us this consolation that he was ready to leave this world, and was happy to meet his Saviour.Mother and children HOME God has taken our dear father out of our midst, And has planted him in the vineyard of love, His place here on earth is now empty, But he is filling a sweet place up above. When Dad was on his bed of affliction, It turned our hearts to much praying, He left with these precious words, Home, going Home, He now is in our Saviour's safe keeping. The home will now seem bare and so empty, For Dad was always there to welcome us in, But he is now God's helper, up in that beautiful land, Beckoning us all with a Heavenly welcome, come in. HOME AT LAST His sufferings at last have ended; His trials on earth are past; He's entered the Heavenly Portals; Reached safely Home at last. Home, where no pain or sorrow Or heartaches can molest. Home, prepared for the faithful To be forever at rest. Although we weep in sorrow At the passing of one so dear; We would not wish for his return To the pain he suffered here. But rather we'll go to him When our life here is past, And meet to part, no never When we reach Home at last. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, March 23, 1969 in the Linden Church. Introduction and prayer was brought by Min. Dewey Unruh. Min. Ben Hiebert brought the message, speaking from Psalms 90:1-2, and 1 Corinthians 3:10-15. Min. Dave Ratzlaff spoke additional words from Psalms 116:1-7, 12, 13. Interment was made in the nearby cemetery where Min. Jake Boese spoke from John 14:1-3 and led in prayer.
