JACOB PARKU
Jacob Patkau of Niverville, Manitoba passed away on March 25, 1972 after a brief hospitalization. He was born on October 5, 1897 in Alexanderthal, southern Russia to Mr. and Mrs. Bernhard Patkau. His early life and his school years were spent in that community. In November, 1919 he was married to Luiese Martens and soon thereafter he came to an acceptance of Christ as his personal Saviour. He followed the Lord's leading in baptism and joined the Mennonite Brethren Church.
In September, 1926 the family came to Canada. At various times they lived in Saskatchewan, Ontario, at Grassy Lake, Alta., and at McCreary, Man. They came to McCreary in 1941. In 1953 his wife passed away.
On October 10, 1954 he found a second help mate in Katharina Enns (nee Neufeld). They moved to Hays, Alta., in 1957 and finally in 1964 to Niverville. At Hays, together with their youngest daughter they built their own home. He had been ill most of the winter before being hospitalized on March 24. He was a faithful Christian and eagerly studied God's Word.
Predeceased by two sons and his first wife, he is survived by his wife, Katharina; four sons, Nick of Hornpayne, Ont., and John, Bill and Henry of Winnipeg; and two daughters, Margaret (Mrs. Frank) Falk of Niverville and Mary (Mrs. David) Goertzen of Saskatoon; 19 grandchildren and one great grandchild; three brothers and three sisters.
The funeral was conducted from the Niverville Mennonite Brethren church, with the brethren Theodore Martens, Jacob Bergen, Peter Martens and David Dick ministering. Interment was in the local cemetery.
