<center><h3>ANNA ENNS</h3></center>

1896 in
Margenau, Hussia. With her parents, Henry
and Katharina Wiebe, she moved to Siberia
in 1907, returning to Putschkowa, near the
village of Margenau, in 1915.
She accepted Christ at the age of 17 and
was baptized and received into the Margenau Mennonite Brethren Church June
24, 1918. On March 7, 1918 she married
Henry H. Enns. They lived in Hussia until
1926 when the Lord made it possible for
them to come to Canada, where after
several years they settled on a farm at Elm
Creek, Man.
During the years on the farm the Lord
blessed them richly. Her concern was that
all her children be brought close to the love
of God, and she was to her husband a true
source of strength in the Lord's service in
the church.
They retired to North Kildonan, Man. in
1962 and in 1968 moved to Clearbrook, B.C.
where they enjoyed the fellowship in the
Clearbrook MB Church.
On February 22 the Lord called her into
his presence. She was predeceased by her
parents, six brothers, four sisters, an infant
son and three grandchildren.
She is survived by her husband; three
daughters: Mrs. Nick (Katie) Wiebe, Clear
brook, Anne, New Westminster, B.C.,
Mary, Edmonton; five sons: Henry, Elm
Creek, ,John, Fort Saskatchewan, Alta.,
Jake, Winnipeg, Abe, Lynn Lake, Man.,
David, Winnipeg; one brother and one
sister; 19 grandchildren; and many relatives
and friends.
The funeral was held February 26 in the
Clearbrook Mennonite Brethren Church,
with pastor Rev. H. Lenzmann and Rev.
Frank Friesen of Morden, Man. officiating.
