MRS. EMMA FOTH

It pleased the Lord, master over life and death, to call home to her heavenly abode (Mrs.) Emma Foth, nee Ringer, on May 22, at age 85.

She was born on September 4, 1889, daughter of Ferdinand Ringer and his wife Anna, nee Schmidt, in Wohldemfuerst, at the Kuban River in Russia. She spent a happy childhood and youth there. She accepted the Lord as her personal Saviour in her youth and was baptized upon her faith and accepted into the membership of the Mennonite Brethren Church in Wohldemfuerst, Russia.

In Millerowo she and Benjamin Foth came to know and to love each other, and on September 1, 1918 they were united in holy matrimony. After the Revolution and the end of the Polish-Russian War, they returned in 1923 to Poland, where he was born. Here they obtained a farm which they operated until their flight in 1945.

The Lord blessed their marriage with four children, three daughters and one son. Two daughters died in infancy. From Germany, where they fled as refugees, they emigrated to Canada in 1949, living at Hague, Sask. for one year and then settling on a farm at Marquette, Manitoba, where they have lived until now.

They found a spiritual home in the Mennonite Brethren Church at Marquette, whose member she was until her departure.

She leaves to mourn her, her husband Benjamin Foth; her daughter Ida Pauls of Calgary; her son Leo Foth and his wife Erna nee Pauls, of Marquette; six grandchildren and many relatives and friends.
