JACOB J. HARDER
Jacob John Harder was born on March 14, 1890 in Kleefeld, Russia, the son of John and Agenetha Harder. In his boyhood he accepted Christ as his Saviour and was baptized and accepted as a member of the Mennonite Brethren Church on May 3, 1907 at the Terek settlement. On October 31, 1913 he married Amalie Koop. The first world war and the revolution that followed brought the Harders a refugee experience and persecution. In 1919 a daughter, Lydia, came as a gift from God.
In 1924 the Harders were able to move to Canada where a son, Jake, was born. Great sorrow was experienced in 1958 when their daughter Lydia passed away, leaving her husband and two beloved sons. The Lord comforted and sustained the family.
In the fall of 1976 Mr. Harder was hospitalized in Winnipeg with severe pains in his chest. On December 8 he was able to go home to his Lord. A funeral service was held three days later at the Manitou (Man.) Mennonite Brethren Church at which Rev. A. T. Froese and Rev. J. G. Klassen officiated.
He leaves to mourn his beloved wife, Amalie; a son, Jake, and his wife Linda; one son-in-law, Cornelius Kroeker, and his wife Helen; five grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and many friends.
