His father, Martin, died of an unknown cause when he was four months old. His mother, Maria (Peters) Hamm remarried to John Krueger, and they moved to Muntau, Molotschna (Today Yasnovka, Ukraine) where he received his schooling. At the age of 15 his family moved once more to Rueckenau, Molotschna (Today Kozolugovka, Ukraine), where he eventually met and married his wife at the age of 21. She was literally the girl next door. They were married in June and his mother passed away in October the same year of smallpox. They lived with his wife's family at Rueckenau #18 where Martin worked for her father, and the first three children were born. They left for Canada from the railway station in Lichtenau, Molotschna on July 11, 1924 arriving in Rezekne, Latvia on July 21st. Departed Rezekne July 24th arriving in the port of Libau, Latvia the same day. From Libau they sailed on the S.S. Marglen and arrived in Southampton, England on July 28th. Departed Southampton on the Empress of France August 2nd and arrived in Canada, Port of Quebec, August 8, 1924. Their Canadian sponsor appears to have been a Dietrich Klassen in Gretna, Manitoba shown as an uncle; however, Martin worked for a time for Philip Hiebert in Altona, Manitoba, until he purchased a farm near Elie, Manitoba in 1926.
