Read More	My dear husband, our father and grandfather, Walter Unruh, was born to Cornelius and Anna (Kaegi) Unruh at Dallas, Oregon, United States of America, on June 8, 1897. On Sunday, December 5, 1976, while attending evening services with the Stettler congregation, during the singing of the opening hymn, he suffered a fatal heart attack. He reached the age of 79 years, 5 months, and 27 days. In 1901, he moved with his mother and stepfather, P. W. Toews, to Manitoba, Canada. In 1907, the family moved to Alberta, settling in the Swalwell area, here he grew to manhood. Father answered the Saviour's convicting call to repentance and was baptized on February 8, 1921, into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, which faith he cherished and upheld until his death. On October 23, 1921, he was married to me, Anna Jantz, sharing joys and sorrows for fifty-five years. The following summer we moved onto our farm where we lived until our retirement in 1967. As a family, we have fond memories of his life and concern for our spiritual welfare which he often expressed in our family gatherings. Also to be remembered were his friendly disposition and ready smile. Even though his parting was sudden and without good-bye, his life and testimony have left us a living assurance of his salvation in Jesus Christ. He leaves to mourn me, his wife Anna, and eight children: Alvin and Betty Unruh of Pincher Creek, Alberta; Leon and Margaret Unruh of Abbotsford, British Columbia; Crist and Helen Unruh of Acme, Alberta; Beulah Unruh of Rosthern, Saskatchewan; Viola and Ervie Toews, Walt and Selma Unruh of Swalwell, Alberta; Dewey and Doreen Unruh, Joann and Elmer Esau of Stettler, Alberta; thirty-six grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren; one half-sister, Emma, Mrs. Ed Lemky of Crooked Creek, Alberta; stepmother, Mrs. D. L. Friesen of Swalwell, Alberta; one stepsister, Annie, Mrs. Norman Goossen of Linden, Alberta; one stepbrother, Herman J. Toews of Calgary, Alberta, and many relatives and friends. Preceding him in death were his parents; one daughter, Luella, in childhood; one daughter-in-law, Luella, two grandchildren; one brother, Claude Unruh, three sisters: Minnie Unruh; Katie, Mrs. H. L. Toews; Mary, Mrs. J. L. Toews; three stepbrothers: Pete Toews, Henry Toews, and John Toews. Funeral services were held at Linden, Alberta, on December 10, 1976. The body was laid to rest in the local cemetery.
