During her high school years, Martha responded to the Lord’s call through a personal experience with Him. She was baptized upon her confession of faith on July 2, 1944, by Rev. D. W. Tschetter, and became a lifelong member of the Salem Krimmer Mennonite Brethren Church. Her favorite church memory was of the ladies’ octet and the many places they would travel to sing. She also sang with her sisters and went along with Rev. Jake I. Walter, to sing at evangelistic meetings. She attended Freeman Academy, graduating in 1943, then earned a teaching certificate after one year at Freeman Junior College. From 1944-1950, Martha taught country school. She began in the Clayton area and stayed at the Henry Hannemann home. Following that, she taught northwest of Menno and stayed with her uncle Dave G. and Susie Wollmann. After a year, she moved to the Kapsch school, this time living with Arnold and Lenora Kost and riding the school bus to and from school. In 1947-48, she taught at Apple Grove #20; her last teaching job was at the Stern school. She and Isaac I. Walter, Jr. were married May 18, 1947, at the Salem KMB Church with Rev. Jacob I. Walter officiating. He was an uncle to both Isaac and Martha. The reception was held in the barn on a newly established farm 3 miles west and 1 1/4 north of Freeman. Crepe paper decoration still hangs in the barn. On the evening of February 25, 2018, Martha’s wish to be with her family was granted. In addition to her Lord and Savior, she is welcomed by her husband; parents; siblings Jacobina Mendel, Rachel (Waldo) Wiens, Noah (Louise) Mendel, Wanda (Herb) Hofer, Sarah Hofer and James Mendel; parents-in-law, Isaac I. Walter, Sr. and Elizabeth Walter; sisters and brothers-in-law, Adina (John P. Hofer), David I. (Elizabeth) Walter, Amos Walter and Gladys Walter. She is lovingly released from her earthly home by her daughter Terry Walter and Terry’s husband Donald Cooper. Others who survive her are sister-in-law, Janice Mendel; brother-in-law, LeRoy D. Hofer; cousins, Dr. Aaron Walter, Mary Wollmann Hofer, Sam Wollmann, Naomi Hofer, Marilyn Duerksen, Jolaine Gerlach, Jonathan Mendel, David Mendel, Gary Mendel, Zetella Bell, Tabea Koehn, Myrtle Lundin, Jules Glanzer, and Elgin Glanzer; and numerous nieces and nephews.
