David A. Loewen was born to Abraham and Susanna Loewen on March 4, 1,895 in Podolsk, Neu Samara in Russia. He experienced the new birth and was baptized in 1917. On May 28, 1918 he was united in marriage to Lena, daughter of Henry and Susanna, Nickel. Three daughters and one son were born to them infancy. In 1924 the family immigrated to Canada and settled in the Beechy-Demaine area in Saskatchewan. Here nine more children were born to them of which one son died in infancy.
