She was married to our father Abr. L. Isaac on Nov. 26, 1904 and moved to Aberdeen, Sask., where they lived for a number of years and experienced the hardships of pioneer life.
In the spring of 1913, realizing their lost condition they were baptized upon their faith after repentance and forgiveness of sin and accepted into the fellowship of the Church of God in Christ, to which they remained faithful.
Their union was blessed with two sons and five daughters. Father preceded mother in death in April 1962. Their youngest son, Leonard, died in 1940. They shared the joys and sorrows of married life for over 57 years.
