Cornelius Krahn of Brandon, Manitoba
was born in the Russian Mennonite village of
Kronsthal on December 7,1938, the fifth son
of George and Margreta Krahn. In 1942, four
years later, the family fled to western Europe
and finally emigrated to Canada in 1947. Neil
grew up in Winnipeg, with many of the interests typical of his age group, and it
wasn't until he was 17 that he decisively met
Christ. He became persuaded that Jesus of
Nazareth was indeed God in human flesh,
and once persuaded he steadfastly affirmed
his faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and
Lord. Following his conversion he was bapized and became a member of the North
Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church. He
graduated from the MBCI in 1957 and from
here proceeded to the University of Manitoba

engineering. On July 17, 1965 he was
married to Esther Hildebrand of Winkler.
Their first home
was in Thompson,
where Neil worked
for Inco. In 1968,
he left engineering
for teaching, which
he continued until
the time of his sudden death.

He practiced his
profession with diligence, thoroughness and dedicaion. He cared deeply for people and longed
o communicate his faith in a living Christ to
all he met. Life was of a single cloth to him,
a cloth which he sought to weave with faith,
words and action. He taught church Sunday
school for years and participated gladly in
many areas of church life. He was stricken
while involved in a church activity.

Cornelius died April 16 and leaves behind
his wife and two children, a daughter Cynthia
and son Lyall. He is also mourned by his
parents, the George Krahns of Winnipeg; his
mother-in-law, (Mrs.) Lena Hildebrand of
Winkler; two brothers, Peter of Winnipeg
and Arthur of Brandon; two sisters, Agnes
(Mrs. Jake) Funk and Elfrieda of Winnipeg;
