Read More	Peter Charles Baerg was born on July 9, 1915, at Acme, Alberta. He was the oldest son of Peter L. and Eva Schartner Baerg. He peacefully passed away at his home in Linden, Alberta, on May 7, 2004, reaching the age of eighty-eight years. Dad was diagnosed with cancer only six weeks prior. He felt that his suffering was nothing compared to what his Lord had suffered for him. The loss of his father at the early age of twelve and one-half years gave Dad an independent and determined spirit. Peter felt the responsibility of running the farm very heavy on his shoulders. Dad's mother married Abe Duerksen almost two years later, giving a new father to the young family of six children. At the age of twenty, Dad gave his heart to the Lord and was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite by Min. F. F. Hiebert on June 30, 1935. He cherished this faith, and his love for the Church and her doctrine grew into strong convictions, which made him a pillar of strength for us. Dad left us with a clear assurance of peace in his heart and of his eternal destiny. During the war years, Dad served his country as a conscientious objector, working for Parks Canada in Jasper and Seebe, Alberta. On August 2, 1942, our father was joined in marriage to our mother, Anna Barkman, by Min. F. F. Hiebert. Their home was blessed with two sons and three daughters. Peter and his brother, Paul, bought a sawmill in the Sundre area to supply wood for new houses for themselves. This developed into a lumber business. Later Dad and Dave Ratzlaff owned and operated the local feed mill in Linden for fifteen years. In 1965, he did a complete career change and began mixed farming in the Swalwell, Alberta, area until his retirement to their present home in Linden. Mother and Dad spent some years as house parents at an Outpatient Home in Carrot River, Saskatchewan, which was a very rewarding time for them. Dad's love and interest in people won him many friends. Those left to cherish fond memories are Anna, his wife of sixty-one years, and his children: Jim and Marj, Norma and Ray Koehn, Diane and Lloyd Harder, Brian and Venice, Jeanette and Reuben Mandel, all of the Linden, Alberta, area; twenty-one grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Also remaining are three brothers and four sisters: Paul and Olive Baerg, Arnold and Anne Baerg, Dave and Dorothy Duerksen, Margaret Toews, Agnes and Paul Toews, Frieda Chapman, Lydda and Walt Regehr; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Linda Friesen, Nellie Barkman, Joan Barkman, Doris Barkman, Allan and Elsie Barkman, Peter and Rose Dueck; and many nieces and nephews, who were special to him. His parents, parents-in-law, stepfather, and two brothers-in-law preceded him in death. Funeral services were held at the Linden Congregation, Linden, Alberta, on May 11, 2004. Officiating ministers were Jake Boese, Bev Toews, and Bert Boese. Interment was in the Linden Cemetery, Linden, Alberta, with Min. Harvey Toews in charge.
