JOHANN J. WIEBE
Johann J. Wiebe, the son of John and Katherine Wiebe, was born on June 19, 1881, in Hirshau, Molotschna, Russia.
On May 28, 1898, he came to America. On March 17, 1904, he married Maria Enns, to which union were born two sons and three daughters; two sons and one daughter preceded him in death in infancy. On Sept. 24, 1933, the Lord called his wife home to be with Him.
In 1908 he found the Lord as his Saviour and was baptized at Hooker, Okla. He had a wonderful experience in his conversion and felt definitely called into the service of the Master, but through financial difficulties, he found it impossible to follow the call for service. His desire was continually to serve his Lord and Saviour wherever opportunities were offered.
He was a devoted father, and made it his duty to teach his children the Word of God and the way of salvation.
From Hooker, Okla. he and his family moved to Reedley.
