The 125Th West Reserve Anniversary Celebrations Peaked This Summer The Beginnings of .Mennonite· N03·SEPTEM···­ Friedensstimme JOHN B. TOEWS arly in the twentieth century the ERussian Mennonite periodical Friedensstimme began publication in Berlin, probably to avoid tsarist censorship. istorian It was only moved to Halbstadt, Molotschna in January, 1906, in response to the provisions of the October Manifesto A PUBLICATION OF THE MENNONITE HERITAGE CENTRE and THE CENTRE FOR MB STUDIES IN CANADA of 1905, which granted freedom of press and speech. Copies of the paper were subsequently filed with the Imperial Archives in St. Petersberg, apparently the only run of the periodical to survive. Friedensstimme did have North American subscribers but to date only a few individual copies have been found on this continent. It ceased publication with the Russian prohibition of the German language press at the outbreak of W.W.I. When the Provisional Government came to power early in March, 1917, Abraham Kroeker resumed publication deploying the title Nachtrichten des Volksfreund~ The paper appeared fairly regularly throughout Jake P.

  • CANADA-MANITOBA Soil Survey Soils of the Rural Municipality Of
    CANADA-MANITOBA Soil Survey Soils of the Rural Municipality of Rhineland Report D76 Government Gouvernement Government Gouvernement of Canada du Canada of Manitoba du Manitoba SOILS REPORT NO. D76 . 1991 SOILS OF THE RURAL MUNICIPALITY OF RHINELAND by Glenn Podolsky CANADA-MANITOBA SOIL SURVEY AGRICULTURE CANADA MANITOBA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA PREFACE This interim report and map of the detailed field and laboratory study of the soils of the Rural Municipality of Rhineland is one in a new series of such soil survey reports covering special interest areas in southern Manitoba. These reports reflect the growing concern by various government agencies that support the Canada-Manitoba Soil Survey, that a knowledge of the development and distribution of the soils of Manitoba is the key to understanding their properties, behaviour and response to management. This concern requires that soils be described both in terms of their basic properties and the nature of the environmental setting in which they are found. Thus, when an area such as that in the R.M. of Rhineland study requires delineation of land of high or low value for crop production or for other uses, the basic reference document is an accurate and reliable soil map. The land resource information included in this resurvey covers approximately 93 241 ha of land. It includes only a portion ofthe area covered in the reconnaissance survey of the Morris Map Sheet Area (Report No. 5, 1953). However, the projected more intensive use of the soils for agriculture and the growing competition for other uses of land in the area has created a need for more up-to-date, more accurate and more detailed soil information.

  • Brauns of Osterwick
    The Brauns of Osterwick Mr. and Mrs. Jakob Braun FOREWORD The purpose of this writing has been to lift a small corner of the veil from the conditions under which the Jakob Braun family and their descendents have come during the past century. This has been accomplished quite inadequately. There are too many areas left unanswered. Three types of information have been employed for this purpose: I. genealogical tables; 2. brief biographical sketches; 3. editorial contributions from all who responded to the invitations. A liberal sprinkling of photographs has been added for emphasis. Information has been gleaned from the small number of family records, diaries, journals, documents, school registers, church records, newspapers and personal letters available. The passing of the first, the second and the oldest members of the third generations has greatly curtailed the information obtainable on the harrowing experiences, but now very interesting information, on the pioneering years. The paucity of such material may be due to numerous factors, the least of which would likely not be the hesitancy of people to do some writing. Moreover what was written, was too often not -preserved. This was regretfully demonstrated by the church secretary who consigned the old church register to the flames when a new one had to be purchased. Since whole families so frequently migrated from the old world to the new, there was likely less cause for letter-writing, removing an important reason for recording family joys and sorrows. More time and money for research may unearth further pertinent material on our family. If this present effort should produce that result it will not have been in vain.

  • Local World War I Stories Part 4
    War Memorials in Manitoba: An Artistic Legacy Reinland Conscientious Objectors The local history book, Reinland: An Experience in Community, provides some valuable insights into the thoughts and lives of those young men who chose to stand against the war – a group that came to be known as conscientious objectors: World Wars I and II were different experiences in some respects. Despite what was probably the strongest national fervour that Canada has known, the government, in World War I, adhered strictly to the Privilegium of 1873. In World War II this adherence took some different forms. A large number of Mennonite young men volunteered for military service including some from Reinland. When conscription came there was no blanket exemption as in the previous war. Provisions were made for alternative service. In effect the conscientious objectors became involved in forestry and other types of service in the 1870s. WORLD WAR I When World War I broke out there was some uneasiness in the churches. Would the Privilegium stand the test of war? In November 1916, three Reinländer Mennonite Church elders, Johann Friesen of Manitoba, Abram Wiebe of Swift Current and Jacob Wiens of Hague‐Osker, visited Ottawa. The uneasiness of these leaders was temporarily allayed, at least to a degree, by the guarantee of Prime Minister Robert L. Borden that the 1873 contract would be observed to the letter. Elder Isaak M. Dyck, a young minister in Manitoba at this time, later described anxieties from his viewpoint. The large sums of money that soon had to be raised for the Red Cross were viewed with misgivings by Dyck.
