PETER P. WALL
Peter P. Wall was born January 14, 1893, the son of Peter and Katherine Wall, in southern Manitoba. He lost his father at an early age and went to work on his own while still a youth. As a young man in the Dalmeny (Sask.) district, while working out, he found Christ as his Saviour, was baptized, and joined the Dalmeny Mennonite Brethren Church. There he also found his wife, Tina Bartsch, to whom he was married on December 2, 1917, a union that lasted 52 years. A quiet and industrious man, he at various times farmed, tinsmithed and operated a garage. He served as town counsellor in Dalmeny and on the Board of the Home for the Aged, and carried an active interest in missions and the work of the church. His life and deep sense of duty have left a lasting influence on the Dalmeny community.
He leaves to mourn, his wife; three brothers, Klaus, Vancouver, Jake and Abe, Dallas, Ore.; two sisters, Nettie (Mrs. Martens) , Winnipeg, and Tina (Mrs. Fred Luthe), Dallas, Ore.; plus a host of friends.
