Peter Epp was born April 10, 1884 in Rueckenau, S. Russia.  He trained for the
teaching profession there and also married
Suzanna Martens in 1916. Together with two
sons they came to Clairmont, Alberta in
1923. Two more children were born to them
there. He was baptized and joined the
Mennonite Brethren congregation.

While in Alberta Mr. Epp occupied himself
with farming; first in Peoria and then for a
longer period in La Glace. Twenty-two of
their later years were spent in Yarrow, B.C.
In 1970 they moved to Kelowna. Here at the
age of 89, he was called to his heavenly rest
on January 18, 1974. He was predeceased by
his wife in 1971 and a brother, Henry , in
1972.

Remembering fondly their father's constant trust and faith in Jesus are three sons:
William of Cochrane, Alta.; Walter of Vancouver, Ewald of La Glace, Alta.; one
daughter, Mrs. B. (Lillian) Giesbrecht of
Kelowna; nine grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren.

Mr. Isaac Epp ministered at the funeral,
basing his words of cheer on Phil. 1:21, "For
to me to live is Christ and to die is gain."
