(MRS.) KATHERINE LANGEMANN

After a long pilgrimage in this world the Lord called (Mrs.) Katherine Langemann to himself on March 26, at the age of 83.

She was the daughter of Claus and Anna Wall, born July 13, 1891 in the Crimea in Russia. At age 15 she committed her life to the Lord and was baptized and accepted into the local Mennonite church.

When she was only 17 her mother passed away. In 1912 she was married to Peter Langemann, with whom she lived 25 years. Five of her daughters passed away due to illness. She and her husband were banished to northern Russia from where they fled in search of freedom. In 1937 her husband was taken from her and she never heard of him again.

In 1943 she immigrated to Canada via Poland and Germany. In 1947 she and her daughter came to Winnipeg and later to Herbert, Sask., where she joined the Mennonite Brethren Church. She lived with her daughter at Gouldtown, Sask. and then at Neidpath. Even though she faced many hardships, she recognized that God was her guide and praised the Lord for his grace and mercy.

She leaves to mourn: her daughter Kathe and her husband, three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, two sisters, (Mrs.) Elizabeth Braun and (Mrs.) Anna Regehr, both of Winnipeg.
