Her parents, Henry Wohlgemuth, moved on the farm in the spring of the year 1889 where she grew to womanhood. She found her Saviour and forgiveness of sins through repentance and was added to the Church of God in Christ at the age of 16. She remained true and faithful to her end, which came at 10 P. M. Jan. 17, 1943, reaching the age of 61 years 9 months and 8 days. Her father died in March 4, 1899. In the same year on Nov. 12, we were joined in matrimony, sharing joys and sorrows 43 years. To this union were born 13 children of which one son died at the age of three. For this we have often thanked the Lord because he had to suffer so much and was not quite normal. My beloved Sarah was a faithful Christian, she took it sincerely and earnest in obeying God's Word, and held fast to her Saviour and Redeemer. She acknowledged her unworthiness in serving Him, and was always ready to confess her faults. She was a true and loving helpmate to me. Was willing to support me in advice, especially in my duty as a minister and was also much concerned for the welfare of the church. She was a loving mother and a true example in bringing up her children in the fear of the Lord. Her grandchildren also lay close to her heart. Physically she was never strong and has often suffered more or less on a complication of her lungs and chest, especially in the last years. She took sick Jan. 11, and was bedfast the last three days, having pains in her chest and back and heavy breathing, especially during nights so that she slept very little. Sunday the 17th the pain lessened, she fell asleep, giving us hope for recovery, but we soon found her condition growing worse. She remained in sweet slumber till she fell asleep in Jesus. Her mind was clear till she fell asleep, and had a great desire to leave this world of suffering and to be with her Saviour. She left with a living hope, yet only through the grace of God. During her illness she expressed her thankfulness for the great blessings she received at the last Communion, just four weeks before her death. She leaves to mourn her departure, me a husband, 4 sons, 8 daughters, 6 sons-in-law, 2 daughters-in-law, 3 grandchildren, her 88 year old mother, 4 brothers, 2 sisters, and many relatives and friends. One grandchild, Marina Friesen, proceeded her in death. We hope to meet again in the heavenly realms of glory. Mother was tired and weary, Weary with toil and with pain; Put by her glasses and rocker, She will not need them again. Into heaven's mansions she's entered, Never to sigh or to weep, After long years with life's struggles, Mother has fallen asleep. Near other loved ones we laid her, Low in the church yard to lie, And though our hearts are near broken, Yet we would not question "Why". She does not rest 'neath the grasses, Tho' o'er her dear grave they creep, She has gone into the Kingdom, Mother has fallen asleep. Rest the tired feet now forever, Dear wrinkled hands are so still, Blast of the earth shall no longer, Throw o'er our loved one a chill. Angels through heaven will guide her, Jesus will still bless and keep, Not for the world would we wake her, Mother has fallen asleep. Beautiful rest for the weary, Well deserved rest for the true, When our life's journey is ended, We shall again be with you. This helps to quiet our weeping Hark angel music so sweet, He giveth to his beloved, Beautiful, beautiful sleep. Funeral services took place Jan. 21, with Bro. J. T. Wiebe officiating at the home. At the Greenland church Bro. John L. Penner read text Isa. 38:1 with other ministers assisting. Interment was made in the nearby cemetery.

Penner 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. Wohlgemuth on August 29, 1943, they build a small house on the yard where they resided in their retirement. Peter died on August 13, 1956, having suffered a brain hemmorrhage in Decemeber of 1955.
