MRS. ALBERT WIENS

Emma Goertzen Wiens, daughter of Henry and Susie Lapp Goertzen, was born Dec. 29, 1914, at the family home southeast of Inman, Kansas. It was there that she received her elementary and public school education, and later attended the Inman high school from which she graduated in 1932.

On June 23, 1930, she publicly confessed the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour and was baptized upon her confession of faith by Rev. P. S. Goertz. At the same time she also became a member of the Hebron Mennonite church, east of Buhler. She remained a member there until Sept. 21, 1941, when she transferred her membership to the First Mennonite church of Hutchinson, where she was an active and faithful member until her death.

On April 12, 1936, she was united in marriage with Albert Wiens. To this union three children were born, two sons and one daughter, all of whom survive.

Since their marriage they have lived in Hutchinson, with the exception of about the first six months which were spent in Moundridge.
