Helena and Johann had lived with her mother, widow Maria Reimer, in the "old" Blumenort village. They had one child together - Marie, Mrs. Bernhard P. Doerksen, and set out optimistically, preparing land for a farmyard on Section 27-7-6E. Unfortunately, Helena contracted tuberculosis and in spite of treatment at the Winnipeg General Hospital, died at home on July 10, 1909. Johann married for the second time to Sarah P. Reimer. They lived the first year with his parents in Heuboden. In 1914 they purchased land from her brothers and father. They also bought the Cornelius P. Reimer's old house and summer kitchen and moved these buildings and started a yard. They farmed here until moving to Satanta, Kansas, in 1925. Johann also worked as the last cheesemaker in the first Blumenort cheese factory. Johann learned that a school teacher was needed in the church German school in Satanta, Kansas. He decided to take up the position and move there. The first year in Satanta they lived in the school and church house across the road from Uncle Cornelius L. Plett. In 1926 they bought a half-section of land and built a yard and buildings. He served as school teacher until 1929 when the public school system was made compulsory. Johann and Sarah farmed in Satanta until 1937 when they were forced to leave their farm because of the dust bowl and depression conditions in Kansas. In 1937 they returned to Blumenort, Manitoba, and lived the first year in the "immgrant'e hus" on the Johann P. Reimer yard. They bought an acre of land from his brother Jacob and moved a house onto it. Johann started a small store and shoe shop across the road from the new cheese factory. Historian Royden Loewen describes the store as follows: "the small business was started in a small building....shoes and harnesses were repaired. Groceries and leather goods, as well as gasoline and kerosene were sold. To supplement the income from the store, Barkman served as janitor for the church. After both P.J. Loewen and J.F. Janzen located their businesses close by, the Barkmans gave up this store and moved to a small farm northwest of Blumenort. Johann had earlier been elected as a "Vorsanger". In 1933 he was elected as a minister of the Satanta congregation. He also served in this capacity in the Blumenort church in Manitoba. For six months in 1956 Johann served as the resident pastor of the Quellen Colony Evangelical Mennonite Church (made up of disgruntled Kleine Gemeinders). Thereafter they lived with various of their children in the Blumenort area untl 1960 when the moved into Steinbach. Sarah died on October 14, 1971, having suffered from a lung disease for many years. She was spared the suffering of dying slowly of suffocation as in the end she died of a collapsed lung. August 8, 1976, Johann married for the third time to widow Anna Friesen and they lived together in Steinbach. Johann was interested in history and was an important contributor of information to the Blumenort book by historian Royden Loewen. from "Johann Plett: A Mennonite Family Saga, 2003, Delbert Plett, pp 561-562. _________________________________________________________ Baptism: 15 Jul 1906 1st marriage: Reimer, Helena R., 20 Oct 1887, Married: 29 Sep 1907 Child: 1 Barkman, Maria R., 10 Oct 1908 2nd marriage: Reimer, Sarah P., 25 Apr 1887,Married: 24 Aug 1913; Neuanlage, West Reserve, Manitoba Children: 1 Barkman, Aganetha R., 23 Jul 1914 2 Barkman, Peter R., 27 Aug 1916 3 Barkman, Sara R., 12 May 1918 4 Barkman, Elisabeth, 5 Mar 1920 5 Barkman, Jacob R., 1 Feb 1921 6 Barkman, Margaret R., 24 Jan 1923 7 Barkman, Elisabeth R., 4 Jan 1925 8 Barkman, Katherine R., 22 Dec 1926 9 Barkman, Helena "Lena", 10 May 1929 3rd marriage: Braun, Anna F., 12 Sep 1901, Married: 8 Aug 1976; Parents: Father: Barkman, Jacob, 14 Nov 1848 Mother: Giesbrecht, Anganetha, 2 Mar 1848
