Barkman (1796-1872) and Katharina Regier (1800-66). His father was the son of Jakob Bergmann (1756-ca.1819) and Katharina Wiens (Note One). Henry Schapansky has written that the information on Jakob Bergmann is speculative but that he might have been the son of Jakob Bergmann (died 1780) who in turn may have been the son of Abraham Bergmann (1708-77) listed in the 1776 census as resident in Neuedorf, Prussia: letter Nov. 28, 1992.

After the wedding Jakob Barkman acquired a “Half ” Wirtschaft in Waldheim. Also resident in Waldheim was first cousin Jakob K. Barkman (1820-1902), a wealthy merchant. The KG fel- lowship in Waldheim included: Isaac Friesen, step-son of KG minister Klaas Friesen (l793- l870) of Rosenort; Jakob Loewen (l820-l901), son of KG deacon Isaac Loewen (l787-l873) of Lindenau; and his brother-in-law Peter H.

    MANITOBA MENNONITE HISTORICAL SOCIETY No. 52 April 2006 AMixof Business and the A.-ts at MMHSAnnual Meeting Members of the Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society met at Mennonite Heritage Village in Steinbach for their annual meeting Saturday, March 4. Business sessions were augmented by a touch of Mennonite architecture and the arts, quartet singing, an author reading and snacks. There was also historical significance in the meeting site, since MHV is an offshoot of the historical society. Curator Roland Sawatzky noted ongoing events at the Village, such as its May MCC theme, highlighting "quilts, war and women making a difference" in the Gallery. Sawatzky also summarized his PhD dissertation entitled Author James Urry at book signing. "The Control of Social Space in Mennonite Housebarns of - Photos by Bert Friesen Manitoba, 1874-1940."

  • The Herdsman's House – Neubergthal
    Heritage Posting 1 No. 75 June 2013 The Herdsman’s House – Neubergthal by Margruite Krahn In 1998 when Paul and I purchased the John P Klippenstein property, it was the barn that caught our attention, and the reason for our move to Neubergthal. Shortly after settling onto the property we learned of the value of another building on the property, the village herdsman’s house. The knowledge that this was the only remaining dwelling of its type in Manitoba, meant we had to make a decision we hadn’t expected to stabilize and later restore the structure. What we have come to learn from written research and the oral tradition of local residents, is that this three room ca.1890’s wood frame structure was initially a herdsman’s house in Gnadenthal, and moved to Neubergthal in ca.1900. All indications are that it was also used as the village herdsman’s house in Neubergthal. “Sometime after the village agreement ended (1909), the transition away from the communal pasture and herdsman occurred, and each village farmer pastured their own cattle. Perhaps this Herdsman’s House and Krahn Barn ( built by P. J. was as early as 1912, as that was when Peter Klippenstein Klippenstein in 1929) established the yard on which the house hold thatching. ”(Prairie Settlement Patterns, L.

  • Seeds from the Steppe: Mennonites, Horticulture, and the Construction of Landscapes on Manitoba's West Reserve, 1870-1950
    Seeds from the Steppe: Mennonites, Horticulture, and the Construction of Landscapes on Manitoba's West Reserve, 1870–1950 by Susan Jane Fisher A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2017 by Susan Jane Fisher Abstract In this study, I offer a new research direction on the history of the Canadian prairie West with a joint focus on emotional history, life stories, and horticulture among the Mennonite immigrants from imperial Russia, who first assembled villages on Manitoba’s West Reserve in the 1870s. In this study, I trace oral culture, expressions of emotion, and the inter-generational transfer and preservation of botanical materials and traditions, in order to help us understand how individuals within a distinct ethno-religious group and in a colonial setting, experienced immigration and resettlement, and constructed landscapes accordingly. In the processes of their encounter, construction, and remembering, landscapes in history entail intricate myths and emotional attachments, whether they are explicitly known or implicitly understood. I argue that traditions of horticulture and homemaking, and the myths and memories surrounding prairie settlement, are creative acts through which West Reserve Mennonites at once reinforce settler-colonial agendas of success in the Canadian prairie West, and tie themselves emotionally to both a real and imagined history as a quiet, self-sufficient, agrarian people. Memoirs, diaries, newspapers, material artefacts, and oral histories connected to people on the West Reserve demonstrate that late nineteenth century Mennonite immigrants placed significant emotional value on the plant materials they carried with them in the hopes of reestablishing their sectarian, agrarian communities on the Canadian prairie.
