TOBIAS SCHARTNER
Tobias (Tobe) Schartner of Linden, Alta. passed away Oct. 19 in Calgary. He was born May 18, 1916 at Sunnyslope, Alta. He married Eva Aug. 2, 1938. They lived in Linden. He farmed and owned a sawmill. He attended Prairie Bible Institute in Three Hills, Alta., later serving on staff there for 10 years. He went into the heating business with his sons in Grande Prairie, Alta. In 1971 he and Eva moved to Kelowna, B.C., where he contracted houses with his brother-in-law Alvie Esau and later retired. In 1996 they moved back to Linden. His salvation was the most important event in his life. In the chicken coop on Jan. 10, 1950, he felt his sin weighing him down, bowed to God and cried for help. God set him free, and Jesus became very precious to him. He was baptized in August 1950. Predeceased by 3 brothers and 7 sisters, he is mourned by Eva; children Dellan, Ray, Tim, Randy, Alma-Jean Peters and Dawn Sparreboom; 17 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; 2 brothers and 5 sisters. The funeral was Oct. 23 in Linden MB Church, with Ralph Klassen ministering.
