Messenger of Truth Vol. 52, No. 21, Oct. 14, 1953:
Our cousin, mother Helena Hiebert Peters, was born in Alexanderwohl, S. Russia, on March 24, 1875. She was the daughter of the late Bro. and Sister Abraham and Helena Hiebert.
At the age of 6 weeks she imigrated with her parents to Manitoba, Canada. After a brief stay in Canada her parents moved and settled on a farm near Hillsboro, Kansas, where she received her education in the Hope Valley school.
On April 5, 1896 she was united in marriage to Gerhard P. Peters. Their home was established in their parental neighborhood. In 1908 our parents acquired a new home near Lehigh, which mother was privileged to enjoy the remainder of her days. During the last 10 years this home was shared with her son James, and his family. This happy relation was broken by her departure on Sept. 1, 1953 at 10:35 A.M., having reached the age of 78 years, 9 months, and 8 days. She was preceded in death by her husband in 1935, her first son in 1897, and great grandson in 1951.
She leaves to mourn her children; George, Helen (Mrs. August Epp), Herbert, Willard, Hulda (Mrs. Peter H. Janzen), Theodore, Mary Ann, James and Edison; 21 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren; 1 sister, Marie, (Mrs. Calvin Neiswander), Upland, California; 2 brothers-in-law, and 5 sisters-in-law.
Funeral services were held Friday, Sept. 4 in the Mennonite Church, Lehigh, Kansas. Burial in the Alexanderfeld graveyard near Hillsboro.
