MRS. AGNES JANTZ
Born on January 21, 1893 in Wolynia, Russia, Agnes Jantz was the daughter of David and Eva Schroeder (nee Bartel). At the tender age of two·and·a·half years, the Lord took her mother home. Aganeta Nickel became her second mother.
She received her education in a Mennonite public school in southern Russia and later attended the Girls School at Chortitza. Shortly hereafter she was baptized by Rev. Tjart in her parents' home.
On Febuary 18, 1912 she was united in marriage to Edund Jantz. They made their home near Warsaw, Poland. They were forced to flee due to the war in 1914 and returned home again in 1918.
On July 22, 1923 she was baptized by immersion upon confession of her faith, and accepted into the Mennonite Brethren Church.
During World War II, on April 6, 1946, she lost her husband, a lay minister of the gospel, through death. The Lord had given them 34 years together. The remainder of the family then left Poland for West Germany. In 1948 Agnes Jantz, together with her two sons, immigrated to Canada. They found a new home in Aldergrove, B.C. The East Aldergrove Mennonite Brethren Church became her spiritual home.
On February 20, shortly after she attended the evening fellowship meeting at Tabor Home, where she lived her last five years, she passed into the Lord's presence. She was age 82.
Three children preceded her in death. Left to await the day of resurrection are her daughters: Margarete and husband Paul Schroeder, and Anna, whose husband Rudolf Kliewer perished in a Russian prison camp in 1945; sons: Gerhard and wife Anni, and Herbert and wife Lilly; 14 grandchildren; 24 great·grandchildren; one brother, Erhard Schroeder and wife Margarete, and two sisters in Russia.
