George Ens
George Ens of Warman, Sask. passed away Dec. 14. He was born May 4, 1899 to Gerhard and Susana Ens in Manitoba. When he was 5, the family moved to Saskatchewan. In 1927 he married Agnes Boese. They lived near Warman for 2 years. Then they moved to a homestead in Horse Lake, Sask. Besides farming, he worked at logging and operated a sawmill. He was on crutches for about a year after a tree fell on his leg. In 1956 they moved to Prince Albert, Sask., where he worked at the Canada Creosote plant for 3 years. Then they moved to Warman, where they bought and operated a store for 3 years. He sold the store and began buying houses, fixing them and selling them. He gradually retired. There was a change going on in his heart, as he sought the Lord for some years. He gave his heart to the Lord Sept. 30, 1979. He was baptized with his daughter Ethel. He had to help his wife with the housework and meals, as she was in bed for 6 years with a broken hip. Predeceased by 4 brothers and 4 sisters, he is mourned by his wife; daughters Doris Klym of Prince Albert and Carol Friesen and Ethel Lee of Saskatoon; sons Louie of Shell Lake, Sask., Norman of Martensville, Sask. and Ron of Hague, Sask.; 14 grandchildren; 7 great-grandchildren; 3 sisters and 2 brothers. The funeral was Dec. 19 in Warman MB Church, with Rudy Lemke and Ben Heppner ministering.
