At the age of 2 years our Mother, with her parents, immigrated to Canada where she grew to womanhood. She gave her heart to the Lord in her youth and upon her confession and faith in God and forgiveness of sins she was accepted into the Church of God in Christ (Mennonite) through baptism, to which Mother was a faithful member till her end. In 1894, Jan. 6, she was united in Holy Matrimony to our Father, Henry K. Giesbrecht who was taken from her side through death, July 3, 1929. They shared joys and sorrows for 35 years, 5 months and 26 days This union was blessed with 11 children, 8 sons and 3 daughters. Preceeding her in death were 2 sons in infancy; Son Solomon and daughters Helen and Magareth who already had their own homes. This was a loss which grieved Mother, still through all this she kept a firm trust in God. Our Mother enjoyed reasonable health till a ripe old age, though she had times of suffering to go through, also Doctor's care needful at times, yet her mind was clear till the very end. Our parents resided in Greenland on a farm most of the time. When our Father passed away they resided at Ste Anne, after which she moved to Steinbach for a few years. Then she came back to Greenland to make her home with her children, Frank Giesbrechts. Here she lived for 11 years on the yard in her own little house. About 5 years ago, we (the children) with her decided to move her into the Greenland Home. It was delightful to her when children, grandchildren and friends came to visit her. She was generally cheerful. She leaves to mourn her departure 5 sons, 3 sons-in-law, 1 daughter, 6 daughters-in-law. Son-in-law George K. Reimer and wife Margareth of Steinbach, Man., Henry and wife Mary, Ste. Anne, Man.; Peter and wife Agath, Kleefeld, Man.; George and wife Elizabeth, Mt. Lehman, B.C.; Mary and husband Jack Simpson, Winnepeg, Man.; Frank and wife Lena, Ste. Anne, Man.; Harvey and wife Betty, Mt. Lehman, B.C.; Son-in-law Peter J. Barkman and wife Susie, Ste. Anne, Man.; and daughter-in-law Tina, Mrs. Solomon Giesbrecht, Linden, Alberta; 50 grandchildren and a number of great-grandchildren and many relatives and friends. Her husband, 3 sons, and 2 daughters, 1 daughter-in-law, 6 grandchildren, her parents and all her brothers and sisters preceeded her in death. Her sudden departure causes us to mourn, but we are comforted to know she is at her long desired rest. The day before she got sick she cleared her way with the residents at the Home, telling us that she was preparing to die. Mother was also much concerned for the family, reproving against worldliness and also making confessions. --The children. Funeral services were conducted on Wed.
