<center><h3>MARTHA KEMPER</h3>/center>

Mrs. Martha Kemper, 25,  of Calgary 
p!'lssed away suddenly in  early June in 
a car accident in  Alberta. 
Martha was born .in  Steinbach, Mani
toba,  ·in  1944 to  J'ohn  and Mary Engbrecht. She spent her childhood there and 
nccepted  Christ as  her Saviour at the 
age of seven. At 17 she went to Winnipeg, 
where she worked at the Manitoba Telephone  Company for  five  years  and  at 
various  jobs  a,fter  that.  About seven 
years  ago  she  underwent  a  serious 
operation, during which time she renewed 
her commitment to  the  Lord. 
On November 23, 1968 she was married 
to Bob Kemper. They resided in Winnipeg 
till  Aplril,  after  which they  moved to 
Calgary. Sho,rtly before the acc,ident,  she 
shared with her husband the premonition 
that  her  life  would be short.  No one 
realized  how short it  was to  be.  The 
family  is  comforted by Amos 3:6, "Does 
evi'l  befall a city, unless the  Lord has 
done  it?"  Left  to  mourn her  passing 
are her husband, Bob, and  her parents, 
Me and Mrs. John Engbrecht.
