Read More	Rev. Derk P. Tieszen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Tieszen, was born March 7, 1859, in the village of Paulsheim in South Russia, son of Peter and Maria Duerksen Tieszen. In 1874, at the age of 15, he with his parents migrated to America and settled on the plains of South Dakota, three miles west of Marion. He was baptized upon his confession of faith in Jesus Christ as his Savior in 1878 and was received as a member in the Schartner church, which divided in 1883 and the part that broke away became what is now the Bethesda church, which he also joined. In 1890 this church was without a pastor. An election was held and the choice fell upon him. In the spring of 1891 he was ordained to the ministry of this church. On April 1, 1894, he was elected as elder and ordained into the eldership the following November. He faithfully and without interruption served his church for 48 years (blind since 1920). In Helena Deckert he found a devoted and helpful helpmate and he was united with her in holy matrimony on December 4, 1880 in Carolswalde, Volhynia. They lived on a farm joining the old parental place. This union was blessed with 13 children, four of whom preceded him in death. Rev. and Mrs. Tieszen celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1930. In 1925 they retired from the farm and moved to Marion, where they lived until the fall of 1945, after which they made their home in Freeman, with their youngest daughter and her family. Around Thanksgiving time in 1941 he suffered a stroke, from which he recovered quite well. Last fall a minor stroke was again noticed. He also had an eye trouble which dated back to 1895. In 1904 he underwent an operation on his eyes but his sight diminished until in 1926 he became totally blind. He had been ailing for some time, but was able to be up until the last week or so, when he was confined to bed. On Sunday morning, April 7, another stroke came and he was called to rest at 5:20 a.m. He is survived by his beloved wife and nine children: Abraham, Anna (Mrs. Dan Becker), John and Benjamin of Marion, Susanna (Mrs. Toby Becker) of Dolton, Derk of Albany, N. Y., Eva (Mrs. O. C. Krehbiel) of Hutchinson, Kansas, Agnetha (Mrs. L. H. Linscheid) and Amalia, (Mrs. J. D. Unruh) of Freeman. Besides these he has one brother, Jacob P. Tieszen, and one sister, Maria (Mrs. John Enbrecht) both living in Marion, and 36 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. He attained the age of 87 years and 1 month. Funeral services were held in the Bethesda church, Marion, S. D. on April10, 1946. Interment was made in the Bethesda cemetery. Clergymen officiating were his pastor, Rev. A. P. Waltner, and J. J. Adrain, D. D. Tieszen and J. A. Tieszen. Rev. Tieszen, who was 87 years of age, died at the home of a daughter in Freeman on April 7, after a long illness. Since 1926 he had been totally blind. Ordained as minister and elder of the Bethesda church here in 1894, he served the congregation devotely [sic] until advanced age and ill health made it necessary for him to retire. In 1930 he and his wife celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Officiating minsters at the funeral services were Rev. A.P. Waltner, Rev.. J. J. Adrian, Rev. D. D. Tieszen and Rev. J. A. Tieszen. (MWR 18 Apr 1946 p. 3; Who's Who among the Mennonites, 1943)
