<center><h3>MRS. ELIZABETH BOSCHMAN</h3></center>

Mrs. Elizabeth Boschman of Leamington,
Ont., went peacefully to be with her Lord on
Monday, November 7. She was born on
February 10,1910 to John and Liese (Wiebe)
Rempel in the Memrick settlement of southern Russia, the third of seven children. When
she was 10 years old, a typhoid epidemic
claimed her parents. Unsettled conditions
forced the family to be separated and
Elizabeth went to live with her aunt's family,
the Nickolai Tiessens. She experienced genuine love in this family and emigrated with
them to Canada in 1925, settling in Kingsville,
Onto At this time she accepted the Lord as
her personal Saviour and was baptized,
joining the Mennonite Brethren Church.
The same year as her baptism, 1929, she
married Daniel Boschman. Good health was
not always her lot. She spent 1933 and 1934
in a sanitorium in London, OntoIn 1972 she
became ill with cancer which slowly took her
strength. Uncomplainingly, she communicated her faith to all who visited her until her
passing.
Left to mourn are her beloved husband,
Daniel; two daughters, Elsa (Mrs. Helmut)
Dueckman and Helga (Mrs. Nick) Tiessen;
seven grandchildren; one sister, Anna, in
Russia; and many friends.
