Penner, was born in the year 1880 at Blumenhof, Clearsprings, Manitoba. I got married to sister Katharina Wohlgemuth. She was born the 8th of February, 1883, at Blumenhof. We got married the 27th of October, 1901. Our first son, Isaac, was born in 1902 and our second son, Heinrich, was born in 1904. On the 24th of March in 1905 in the morning I went to my farm and worked on the barn that I was building. In the evening I went to John Esau's and stayed overnight. I felt much care for Katharina for she had been sick for a time. I thought of her during the night and thought of going home, but it was very dark and the road was very bad. On the 25th I went to the farm again, and thought if something had befallen Katherina someone would have come and told me. So I worked till evening and came home at about 7:30 p.m. to my parent's home where we lived with them. The parent's had just come home from a visit they made. Katharina was very glad and said to mother, "Today I again ate like usual." The parents and I sat down to eat supper and she came to the table too, and talked with us. She felt much better than she had for awhile. She had had a bad cough and swollen feet, and now it seemed to all be better. I was done eating and all at once she said, "It feels so different on my left side." I was sitting behind the table and could not quickly get to her side. When I got to her she could not walk anymore for she had a stroke. It was 8:30 p.m. when we put her to bed. She could speak but it was hard for her. It was hard for her to breathe and her left hand and foot were cold and she could not feel them. We sent for her mother and she soon came. While we waited we rubbed her hand and foot. We got them warm but feeling and movement were weak. When her mother came she became more calm. Father asked her if she had hope for her salvationi. She said, "Das geht" meaning she had hope. A few days past she had told my mother that at the self-examination meeting at church she had received a joy from the Lord. At 12:30 a.m. I lay down a little and slept a little. Then her mother stayed with her. Katharina told her some things yet. All at once I heard her call my name. I got up right away and went to her and she could hardly speak anymore. I never left her bedside anymore except for a few moments. My mother asked her, "Do you not want to stay with your husband and children?" She answered, "Yes." Then my mother asked her, "Or do you want to die?" She also answered "Yes." In the morning hour she wanted something to eat but she could not swallow any more. She almost suffocated. When the sun was up she asked to sit on the rocking chair. I put her there and rocked her for about an hour and a half. During that time she lost her speaking and I had heard her last words, the last words of my beloved. I asked her three times whether she wanted to be in her bed. As I asked her the last time she motioned with her head that she wanted to and I put her to bed. She could not drink anymore and her fever was high. We put on cold compresses. When her brothers and sisters came at 10:00 a.m. she knew them yet. But when her sister Gertruda came at 12:00 it was not sure whether she did, but she seemed to be herself. Around 4:00 p.m. it got worse and I said "She cannot suffer long anymore." But she had to suffer very much till 7:30, then she became more calm and died at 8:30 p.m. P.S.: One time when I had put her to bed she looked around and through the door as if she was looking for something. I went and got Henry (her son). She struck his hair but she could not say anything. The above writing is from an unpublished life history compiled by Katharina's son Henry Penner. ___________________________________________________________ Birth: 8 Feb 1883, Manitoba Death: 26 Mar 1905 SPOUSE: Penner, Isaak T., 10 Sep 1880, Married: 27 Oct 1901; Children: 1 Penner, Isaac W., 13 Sep 1902 2 Penner, Heinrich W., 21 Jul 1904 Parents: Father: Wohlgemuth, Heinrich, 27 Apr 1849 Mother: Plett, Katharina L., 8 Feb 1854
