At the age of 13, father lost both his parents; mother May 3, and father struck by lightning Sept. 2. Being left an orphan he was taken into the home of his uncle, Peter B. Toews, where he grew to manhood. At the age of 19 he felt the need of a Saviour and upon true repentance and confession of faith was baptized and united with the Church of God in Christ, remaining a faithful member to the end. November 12, 1899 father was united in marriage to Sarah Wholgemuth, who was taken from his side January 17, 1943. They shared the joys and sorrows of life together 43 years, 2 months, and 5 days. This union was blest with 13 children, 5 sons, and 8 daughters. One son and one daughter preceded him in death, Henry in infancy, and Anna, (Mrs. John Dueck) at the age of 39. Father found a helpmeet in me, Anna Wohglemuth August 29, 1943. We shared the evening of his life together 12 short years, 11 months, and 15 days. Father was chosen and ordained to the ministry in the year of 1918. Feeling his inability yet faithfully served in this office till the end. He was a faithful husband, father, and grandfather, ever concerned far the spiritual welfare of his family, and the church, and left us an example in earnestly striving against sin. He was a lover of song and had memorized many hymns. Father enjoyed good health most of his life. His health begin to fail about one and a half years ago. He suffered a stroke on Dec. 13, 1955, and was taken to the hospital. This effected his mind that he was left more or less unconscious for a few weeks, but however, recovered to the extent that he could be taken home, enjoying fair health so that he could attend church services and make visits here and there. Through all this he realized that his strength was failing and that his end might be near. He arose as usual and had breakfast, leaving the house at about 9 and an hour later was found dead by mother. His death was caused by hemmorhage of the brain. Father leaves to mourn his sudden departure, his bereaved companion, 4 sons, Aron, William, David and Edwin, all of St. Anne; 7 daughters Tina (Mrs. Cornelius Friesen) of Steinbach, Agnes (Mrs. Ben Warkentin), Gertrude (Mrs. David Dueck), Margaret (Mrs. Harvey Penner) and Esther (Mrs. John Giesbrecht) of St. Anne, Sarah (Mrs. Jacob Friesen) and Evelyn (Mrs. Percy Fast) of Langdon, N. Dak.; 8 sons-in-law and 4 daughters-in-law; 80 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren; two brothers, Aron of Kansas and Abram of B.C. One sister, Gertrude (Mrs. David Ensz) of Winnipeg and his aged uncle John B. Toews of Steinbach. Three grandchildren preceded him in death. We feel that father's work was done, and has left us a living hope of going home to rest with the Lord.-Mother and Family.

Wohlgemuth in 1899 and the first three years they lived and worked for her mother. They then bought a farm in Rosengard, southwest of Steinbach, where they farmed until 1908 when they bought the SE 10-8-6e in the Greenland district. Here they started a yard and constructed buildings. Later, in 1918, they also purchased a river lot just south of Ste Anne. They had a mixed farm and dairy, milking about 15 cows. Sarah died on January 17, 1943, of pluerisy, having been sickly for several years. Peter then sold the farm to his son Edwin and when he married for the second time to Anna P.
