MRS. ANNA BOSCHMANN
(Mrs.) Anna Boschmann was born in the village of Blumenort in the district of Melitopol, Russia, on January 9, 1900, the daughter of Martin and Mathilde Derksen. The Lord took her home on June 22, 1976, after many years of quiet suffering due to several strokes.
In her youth she accepted Christ as her personal Saviour and joined the Mennonite Brethren Church. She married David Boschmann in May, 1922 at Ruekenau. They moved to western Canada in 1926, moved to Leamington, Ontario in 1932 and to Niagara-on-the-Lake in 1941.
She will always be remembered for her loving kindness to others and her abiding faith in Christ. A funeral service was held in the Virgil (Ont.) Mennonite Brethren Church, with John Klassen officiating.
She leaves to mourn her beloved husband, David; three daughters, Lillian in Toronto, Alice (Mrs. Jacob H.) Dueck and Eleanore (Mrs. Abe) Epp Jr., both of Niagara-on-theLake, Ont., eight grandchildren; three great grandchildren; and many relatives and friends.
