Mennonite Genealogy with Michael Penner

Jacob M. Penner

Jacob M. Penner and his wife Margaretha settled in the Landmark area in 1906. In 1913, they moved closer to Greenland. Margaretha passed away in 1918 but God provided another mother and wife, Anna Warkentin, to fill the void. Anna passed away in 1951 and the next summer Jacob married Barbara nee Sobering. Jacob and Barbara retired from farming in 1957 and built a home in Greenland, where they resided until the end of 1969. They thereafter made their home at the Greenland Home for Senior Citizens.

In 1932, Jacob was ordained a deacon in the Greenland Holdeman Church.

This family circle included fifteen children, of which eleven made their homes in the Greenland area.
