PETER P. SIEBERT

Peter P. Siebert passed away on January 17 in Hutchinson, Kansas, at the age of 78. Funeral services were held in the MB Church of Buhler, Kansas . He was born in 1892 at Inman, Kansas, and spent his childhood there on the farm with three brothers and two sisters. He accepted the Lord as his Saviour, and at the age of 17 was baptised and received into the Zoar KMB Church. Poor eyesight and a farm accident greatly impaired his activities, but he learned to live a fairly normal life in spite of his handicaps. As a young man, he moved with his family to Saskatchewan, where he met and married Mary Ann Schultz in 1921. They were blessed with two sons and a daughter. In 1923 they returned to Kansas and continued farming until 1968. After almost 50 years of farming he entered the Sunshine Home where he enjoyed fellowship until his death. He was predeceased by his wife in 1968, and two brothers. He is survived by two sons: Waldo and Peter, Hutchinson, Kansas; one daughter: Mrs. Maurice (Marianna) Kelker, Chapman, Kansas; eight grandchildren; a brother and two sisters.
