Agatha's Parents

This is Agatha's parents John T. Neufeld and Agatha Neufeld (Dueck), my great grandparents. They were married in July of 1899 and had eight children, of which young Agatha was the baby born on March 11th, 1915.  Unfortunately John, who was born on Feb 15, 1873, died in July 1915, just after Agatha was born. So her Dad passed away at the age of 42 and I don't know why he died so young. Mother Agatha was born on Dec 27, 1880 and was 67 when she passed away in 1947. 

Thank you very much to cousin Len Friesen who sent me these photos and the one of young Agatha in the sun glasses. We appreciate seeing our ancestors!!

Stay tuned for the next blog (maybe next week) when I will be running a contest called Who's that baby?? There may be prizes!!


Happy January Blizzard (to those of us in Alberta!) BRRRR, I'm staying in tonight!

Young Agatha

Agatha was born in 1915 so this photo would have been taken in 1922. Is she about to sing "I'm a little teapot," or practising her Bonnie and Clyde stance? We will never know!
