<center><h3>FRANK P. BARGEN</h3></center>

Frank P. Bargen was born in Altenau, in
southern Russia, on August 29, 1894, the son
of .peter and Maria (nee Martens) Bargen.
His wife, Elizabeth, was also born in southern
Russia, on ,July 19, 1897. the daughter of
Cornelius and Elizabeth (nee Martens)
Regehr. She went to be with the Lord on
March 14, and was joined by her husband a
short time later, on May 23.
Both accepted the Lord Jesus as their
Saviour during their youth, and were baptized and received as members of the Mennonite Brethren Church. They were married in
1916 during a break in Mr. Bargen 's service
in the Medical Corps during the war. Two
sons and two daughters were born to them.
They settled on a farm after the war. Mr.
Bargen served as the elected mayor of
several area villages, but continual harrassment by the communists forced the family to
flee the country in 1929. Their flight through
Moscow and Germany ended in Carlyle,
Sask., where they farmed until moving to
Springstein, Man. during the depression.
They later farmed in Carman, Man., worshipping in the Elm Creek Mennonite Brethren Church, before moving to Winnipeg
in 1947. Here they were ordained as deacons,
a service they performed with joy and
faithfulness. Mr. Bargen became an orderly
at the General Hospital and was promoted to
chief orderly, a position he held for 22 years.
Mrs. Bargen was ill much of her life. She
had operations for cancer in Russia and soon
after arriving in Saskatchewan. The Lord
spared her life after a serious operation in
1934, and in 1966 she was able to realize a
cherished dream-the celebration of their
Golden Wedding Anniversary. After this her
health declined rapidly. Although her
thoughts became clouded, she was always
clear on thankfulness to God. Her favorite
verse was Psalm 73:23. She was institutionalized in Selkirk six and a half years ago, but
was visited regularly by Mr. Bargen. His
hope was expressed in Romans 8:37-39. He
often expressed the desire to be with his wife
in heaven to see her again in the prime of her
years.
They leave to mourn their four children,
Frank, Liesa, Peter and Mary, and their
spouses; 13 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and many friends.
