The son of Aron and Annie Peter, Lawrence
Aron Peters was born on April 30, 1919 in
Hepburn, Saskatchewan, where he received
his schooling. At the age of 16 he gave his
heart and life to the Lord, receiving assurance
of salvation that he kept for the rest of his
life.
In 1939 he joined the RCAF and attended
McGill University. He served overseas in the
capacity of a radar and radio technician, but
suffered from tropical diseases which plagued
him during his entire life. After the war he
helped operate a store formerly owned by his
father. In 1964 he left the store because of
poor health and became the Postmaster in
Hepburn, a position held until his passing.
He married Gertrude Susan Penner in
1947. Two children were born to the couple.
On January 15 Mr. Peters entered the
hospital for the last time, and cancer was
diagnosed. His last months until his passing
on March 7 were spent in close communion
with God, reading his Bible and praying. A
funeral service conducted by pastor John E.
Klassen and Rev. I. Block was held March
10 at the Hepburn Mennonite Brethren
Church.
He is mourned by his beloved wife, Trudy;
his son, Murray and his wife, Ruth, of
Saskatoon; his daughter, Laurie, of Hepburn; his mother, (Mrs.) Annie F. Peters;
one brother, Ken; three sisters, (Mrs.) Clara
Van Ness, (Mrs.) Evelyn Friesen, and (Mrs.)
Ruth Wiebe; and many relatives and friends.
