Barkmans in her eighty second year. She came to America with her parents in 1874. Soon afterwards she lost her father who drowned in the Red River. In her eighteenth year she was married to Jac. G. Barkman, with whom she shared joys and sorrows for twenty one years. She got converted and was added to the church in 1882, remaining true to her vows unto the end. Her husband died in 1899, and she as a widow experienced many sorrows, especially since three of her grownup daughters were taken from her side, one after the other. After being a widow for fifteen years she got married the second time to brother Jac. B. Loewen, Kansas, and moved with him to his home. Their mutual joy was of a short duration, after four years he too was taken from her side. She then returned to Manitoba and lived close to her children John J. Barkmans for four years. After this she was married for the third time, to minister Abraham Klassen, Alberta, with whom she lived at Swallwell until his death in 1935. After this union of thirteen years she again returned to Manitoba. She suffered of cancer the last four years. Her suffering was so intense during the greater part of the last five months that she required the care of a nurse. Many times she had a deep longing to be relieved of all pain. Often, when she had visitors, she asked them to pray with her. Before she passed away she said she had seen the gates of heaven open for her. She leaves to mourn her departure three sons, Jac. J. Barkman, Alberta, John J. Barkman and Peter J. Barkman of Manitoba, two sons-in-law, forty-six grandchildren, about as many great-grandchildren, two sisters, namely, Aaron W. Reimer, Crooked Creek, Alberta. Two sons and five daughters preceded her in death. Funeral services were held in the Greenland church April 3, 1942, where Psalm 19 was chosen as a text. Interment was made in the nearby cemetery. - The Family. _________________________________________________________ Birth: Molotschna Colony, South Russia Baptism: 4 Aug 1878, Manitoba Immigration: 20 Aug 1874, S.
