Loewen was born October 15, 1885, at Kleefeld, Manitoba, and passed away in his home late Sunday night, January 5, 1964. He attained the age of 78 years, 2 months, and 21 days. His death was caused by congestive heart failure. He spent the days of his youth at their home at Kleefeld, and when a young man of twenty years, the Western plains beckoned him. He came to Alberta in 1905 to take up a Homestead; locating in what soon became known as the Linden District, South East of Sunnyslope, and North West of Swalwell. He went back to Manitoba in January 1910 to marry Margaret Toews, returning to Alberta to establish their home. To this union were born six children. Realizing their need of a personal Saviour they surrendered their lives to God in true repentance, and were baptized into the Church of God in Christ Mennonite in May 1913. Their married life was short. She was taken from his side in August 1920. In 1921 he married me, Agnes Toews, and we have shared life's joys and sorrows for over 42 years. To our union six children were born. Father was ordained as a deacon June 25, 1934 and has faithfully served in this capacity until his later years, when his health began to fail. He often expressed his deep concern for the spiritual welfare of his children, and all loved ones, as well as for the church. He leaves to mourn his departure, me, his deeply bereaved wife Agnes, seven daughters, and six sons-in-law; Helen and Dave Wiebe, Margaret and Isaac Schartner, Katherine and Albert Klassen, Olga and Claude Klassen, Clara and Frank Klassen, Lorena and Wilbert Esau, and Rosella who patiently cared for him in his last illness. Thirty two grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren, and many relatives and friends. Although we will miss him, he gave us the assurance that he was ready to meet his Saviour. Life's Evening Sun When life's short fleeting day is done; When comes the evening's setting sun; At last in death our eyelids close - A little while in sweet repose. O glorious thought! - We'll live again Where comes no parting -bitter tears, We'll meet you Father, ne'er to part; Commune forever heart to heart. Though here we'll miss your tender face We know by faith you are saved by grace. Though here we'll see your vacant chair, And heartstrings draw in deep despair, We know you'd have us understand You beckon us from Gloryland And wait our coming-one by one When our short fleeting day is done. Funeral services were held in the Linden Church, January 8, 1964. Minister Ben Hiebert read the text from 2 Timothy 4:6-8; Psalms 116:15; 2 Sam. 14:14 and Eccl. 8:8 and spoke therefrom. Minister Dan Boese read Genesis 5:24 at the graveside services. Interment was made in the adjoining cemetery.
