• Notes

  Bogreyn.-Tim Bogreyn, was born in Nikolaer, South Russia (the Ukraine), not far from the Black Sea, Dec. 2, 1882; died at the Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital, in Ontario, Feb. 13, 1947; aged 64 y. 2 m. 11 d. His early years, part of which were spent during revolutionary years, in Russia, were marked by tragedy. Although he spent a large part of his lifetime in Canada, he never became a citizen of that country. In like manner he cherished an affection for the church of his youth, the Greek Orthodox Church, and never formerly identified himself with any evangelical body. However, he frequently attended the services of the House of Friendship and was dealt with by brethren who could converse with him in his native tongue. Until his last illness he seemed to rest for hope in the religion of his youth, but finally became aware that man's only hope is to trust in the mercy of God through His Son Jesus Christ. Funeral services were held at the Ratz-Bechtel Funeral Home, Feb. 15, in charge of Merle Shantz. Interment was made in the First Mennonite Cemetery.
