Read More	Our husband and father, Peter Wohlgemuth, was born to Henry and Katherine Wohlgemuth at Blumenhof, Manitoba on Feb. 11, 1891. He peacefully passed away at the Ste. Anne Hospital on June 12, 1969 at the age of 78 years, 4 months and 1 day. Death was caused by heart failure. Father received his education in the Blumenhof district where he also grew to manhood. His first occupation was teaching, which he enjoyed for eight years and later took up farming, in the Landmark district. At the age of 29 he accepted Christ as his personal Saviour and was added to the Church of God in Christ, where he remained faithful to the end. He was joined in marriage to me, Magdalena Sobering, on June 19, 1921. This union was blest with 6 sons and 3 daughters, of whom 2 preceded him in death, Henrietta in infancy and Albert at the age of 20, in 1942. We shared joys and sorrows for almost 48 years. Father was an industrious person and provided well for his family. He had a great concern for the salvation of his children and grandchildren. He loved reading the Bible, even tho his eyesight was failing. Father enjoyed good health till 1961, and was hospitalized frequently in latter years. He was admitted to the Ste. Anne Hospital on May 26, where he was given the best of care. On Thursday, 11 a.m., he suddenly passed away, into a mansion prepared for him in glory. We mourn, but with a living hope of his salvation. He leaves to mourn, me, his deeply bereaved companion Magdalena; five sons and two daughters: Bernard and wife Nellie of Landmark; Henry and wife Lena of Linden, Alberta; Jake and wife Viola, Melvin and wife Lois, Elmer and wife Tine, all of Landmark; Esther and husband Johnny Lowen of Giroux; Linda of the home; 24 grandchildren, also Mary Goertzen who made her home with us for 32 years; one brother, Henry P. Wohlgemuth of Ste. Anne; two sisters, Anna (Mrs. John de Veere) of the Greenland Home, and Margaret (Mrs. Henry P. Toews) of Elma, Manitoba, and many relatives and friends. His parents, two brothers, three sisters and one son and one daughter preceded him in death. You are gone, our precious father, Never more we'll see your face; But we hope to meet you yonder In that happy dwelling place. The room is quiet, all is still, Your chair is vacant, it is God's will; Your pain is over, you've gone to rest, Our blessed Lord knows what is best. You were often tired and weary, Having walked life's dusty road; Thru sunshine and thru shadow, For seventy years and more. Your pathway was not always strewn with roses, Thorns often pierced your feet; But in God, with faith unwavering, You always found a safe retreat. Unceasingly you prayed for your loved ones, Lest they should miss heaven's door; Often pleading with us children, To make our footsteps sure. We will miss your welcome smile, When we come to the Old Home door; But we'll meet you o'er the river, On that happy golden shore. --The Family A short service was held June 14, at Loewen Funeral Chapel, where Min. Dave Penner spoke from Ps. 23. Funeral services were conducted June 15, at the Greenland Church. Introduction was by Min. Ed Barkman, and the message by Min. John Dueck from Ps. 50:1; 90:9; Rev. 14:13. The remains were laid to rest in the nearby cemetery where Min. Linden Wohlgemuth spoke words of comfort and closed with prayer. _________________________________________________________ Peter studied in Gretna, Manitoba, together with friend Peter E. Loewen of Blumenhof. He then taught school in Blumenhof in 1914-1915 and 1917-1919. "In between school terms, which were short in those years, he worked on his mother's farm." In 1915 he moved to Texas and worked among the neighbors who had moved there from Blumenhof including Johannn and Aron W. Reimer and his friend Peter E. Loewen. On the way home he stopped in Satanta, Kansas, to visit his relatives and was hired to teach in the private church school there. He was a competent teacher and dearly loved by his students. In 1921 he married Magdalena Sobering (1901-1992), sister to Heinrich Sobering of Steinbach. The family moved to Rosenhof where he taught school until 1925. They bought the SE27-8-5E and the south half of NE27-8-5E in Prairie Rose (Landmark) where they built up a yard and buildings. "Here he used the axe, his horses, and later a tractor to clear the land for grain farming, dairy, layer hens and hogs." Peter and Helena operated a dairy and farmed until their retirement in 1966 when sons Ben and Melvin bought the farm. They built a new house on the southeast corner of the farm and lived here until Peter died on June 12, 1969 of emphysema. Magdalena remained living here together with daughter Linda until 1980 when she purchased a house in Greenland where they resided until Magdalena's death on February 24, 1992. In addition to farming Peter P. Wohlgemuth served for some years as assistant editor of the "Botschafter der Wahrheit". "A very memorable event that many will remember was the time when their oldest son, Albert, at the age of 20 years, was struck by lightening and died." _________________________________________________________ Birth: 11 Feb 1891, Blumenhof, Manitoba Death: 12 Jun 1969, Ste.
