MARY WIEBE

(Mrs.) Mary Wiebe, late of Winkler, Man., was born October 6, 1904. She came to know the Lord as her personal Saviour in July 1921. She became a member of the Winkler Church upon public confession of her faith and baptism.

She married David R. Wiebe in 1927 and together with him moved onto a farm at Meath, South Dakota. Six daughters and three sons were born to them. In 1951 her husband died and she was left to run the farm together with her children and the help of God. In 1957 she suffered a stroke as a consequence of which she was compelled to move to town.

On September 18 at the age of 63 she passed away quietly and at peace with the Lord. She is survived by nine children, Mrs. Ewald (Dorothy) Aahrus, Mrs John (Sophie) Krahn, Mrs. John (Irene) DeJager, Henry Wiebe, Ben Wiebe, Mrs. David (Lyona) Costinak, Mrs. Stan (Delores) Plett and Ruth Wiebe; and many other relatives and friends.
