When still in infancy he with his parents immigrated to Canada, arriving on the east bank of the Red River near Niverville, Manitoba in September of 1874. His parents settled in the village of Blumenort, where father grew to manhood and also received his education. When he was 17 years old the family moved onto a homestead about two miles north of Blumenort. He felt his lost condition and upon true repentance and confession of faith was baptized in October 1898, becoming a member of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, of which he remained true and faithful unto the end. He frequently expressed his thankfulness that God had given him the grace to come to this faith. He found his life's companion in me, Anna L. Eidse of Galva, Kansas. We were married on March 5, 1889 and had the blessing of sharing life's joys and sorrows for over 67 years. Father was a lover of singing, and we remember that song was usually a part of worship in the home. We lived together with the parents till 1904 when we built our own house where we lived till October 1911. We then moved to Kansas, residing in McPherson county the first 6 months; then we moved to Montezuma, Kansas and lived there till we moved back to Manitoba in October 1913, settling in the Greenland community, where he resided the remaining part of his life. In the fall of 1964 we moved to the Greenland Home. Father experienced the hardships of pioneering, first in his young years and also later. He was of a quiet disposition. His vocation was farming, and he was a willing worker and always an early riser. He has been hospitalized several times in the last ten years. On April 26, he was taken to the hospital and was there till the Lord called him home. He leaves to mourn his departure, me, his companion; three sons and three daughters: Cornelius and Elma of Archbold, Ohio; Henry and Neta of St. Anne, Manitoba; Abe and Lena of Fullarton, Ontario; Susie and Peter Barkman of St. Anne, Manitoba; Andrew's wife Betty of St Anne, Manitoba; Margareth and Ben Wiebe of Fullarton, Ontario; Helen and Walter Wohlgemuth of St. Anne, Manitoba; 45 grandchildren and 53 great grandchildren. One daughter and one son died in infancy and Andrew preceded him on Nov. 27, 1964. Also two grandsons and one granddaughter preceded him in death. We do not mourn as those that have no hope, but we confidently believe that father is safe in the arms of his Saviour. He frequently expressed a desire to be with the Lord and his way was open to leave.--The Family Funeral services were conducted in the afternoon of June 3, 1966, at the Greenland Church. Min. Ed. Barkman made opening remarks and led in prayer. Min. David Penner brought the message from Psa. 90:9-12. Min. Jake Bartel made additional remarks and closed with prayer. Interment was made in the adjoining cemetery. _________________________________________________________ Birth: 3 Dec 1873, Blumenhof, Borozenko, South Russia Immigration: 27 Aug 1874, S. S.
