Wohlgemuth was born on November 13, 1903, at Giroux, Manitoba, to Cornelius and Maria Warkentin Wohlgemuth. He passed away in the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital in Grande Prairie, Alberta, on June 26, 1992, reaching the age of eighty-eight years. He grew up in the Giroux, Manitoba, area. In his youth Dad felt the need of his Savior. Upon the confession of his faith he was baptized by Min. A. G. Ensz on June 11, 1919, joining the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. To these vows he endeavored to be faithful, leaving us the assurance he was ready to meet his Redeemer. He was looking forward to going to his eternal home. On March 7, 1926, he found his life's companion in Helena Hiebert of Langdon, North Dakota, with whom he shared life's joys and sorrows for over fifty-nine years.
