Er erhielt seine Elementarschulbildung in einer örtlichen Schule. Da er von seinem Eltern im Worte Gottes unterwiesen worden war, drückte er sein Verlangen aus, einen Bund mit dem Herrn zu machen, und wurde getauft von dem Aeltesten Johann Toews aus Rußland, auf das Bekenntnis seiner Sünden und ein Bekenntnis Jesu Christi als seinen persönlichen Erlöser, und wurde als Glied in die Mennonitengemeinde aufgenommen. Er kam im Jahre 1883 nach Amerika, und blieb mehrere Jahre bei Verwandten auf der Farm. Im Frühjahre 1890 fing er an für sich selber zu farmen. Am 12. Januar, 1893 verehelichte er sich mit Helen Reimer. Diese Ehe wurde mit zwei Kindern gesegnet. Durch die Gnade Gottes wurde es ihnen gewährt in 1918 ihr fünfundzwanzigstes Hochzeitsjubiläum zu feiern. In 1926 rief der Herr unsere Mutter zu ihrer ewigen Belohnung. Einige Jahre später verließ Vater die Farm und zog in die Stadt. Seine Gesundheit fing an zu versagen und er wurde allmählich schwächer. Am 4. Februar brachten wir ihn zum Hospital, wo er die beste Pflege erhielt. Er verschied am Abend des 11. Februar, um bei seinem Herrn und Erlöser zu sein. Er erreichte das Alter von 83 Jahren, 11 Monaten und 11 Tagen. Er hinterläßt, ihn zu betrauern, einen Sohn und eine Tochter, eine Schwiegertochter und zwei Großkinder, eine Schwester, zwei Brüder, und viele Verwandte und Freunde. Offenbarung Joh. 14, 13 — “Und ich hörte eine Stimme vom Himmel zu mir sagen: Schreiber: Selig sind die Toten, die in dem Herrn sterben von nun an. Ja, der Geist spricht, daß sie ruhen von ihrer Arbeit; denn ihre Werke folgen ihnen nach.”

ANDREAS PENNER

Andreas Penner, Beatrice, Nebraska, was born March 1, 1863, at Warnau, near Marieinburg [sic Marienburg], West Prussia. His parents were Heinrich and Marie Penner, nee Penner.

He received his elementary training in a local school. Having been instructed by his parents in the Word of God he expressed his desire of entering a covenant with the Lord, and was baptized by Elder John Toews of Russia on the confession of sins and a confession of Jesus Christ as his personal Savior, and was received into the Mennonite church.

He came to America in 1883 and stayed with relatives on the farm for several years. In the spring of 1890 he began to farm for himself. January 12, 1893, he was united in marriage with Helen Reimer. This union was blessed with two children. By the grace of God they were permitted to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in 1918.

In 1926 the Lord called our mother to her eternal reward. A few years later father left the farm and moved to town. His health began to fail and gradually got worse. February 4 we took him to our hospital where he received the best of care. He passed away the evening of February 11, to be with his Lord and Savior. He reached the age of 83 years, 11 months, and 11 days.

He leaves to mourn one son one daughter, one daughter-in-law, two grandchildren, two brothers, one sister, and many relatives and friends.
