There Jacob completed his schooling and there he also accepted Christ as his personal Saviour. In 1922 the family was able to emigrate to Canada, and Jacob went to live at Drake·, Sask. for a year. That same year he was baptized in Herbert, Sask. by his uncle, Rev. Heinrich Neufeld, and accepted into the Mennonite Brethren Church.

For a good part of that time he was the Printshop manager.
In 1926 Mr. Neufelld was married to Kaethe Penner, a union which was blessed with one child, a daughter, and which continued until her passing in 1947. In 1949 he found a second life's partner, Sara Baerg, who survives him. Mr. and Mrs. Neufeld had lived in Clearbrook for the past year and a half.
Besides his wife, Mr. Neufeld is survived by his daughter, Irene, wife of Dr. Jacob Dick of Saskatoon, and four grandchildren; as well as two sisters, Mrs. Maria Koslowsky of Clearbrook and Mrs. Jacob Peters of Winnipeg.
