This year was no exception and a grand party was held at the Currey home. Born in 1852, in East Zora, Ont­ ario, she was one of nine children of the late Rev. John Staebler, all of whom were living in 194 0, when a reunion was held. Since that time all have passed away with the ex­ ception of Mrs. Finkbeiner and one brother, Mr. Dan Staebler, of Iowa. She married John Finkbeiner in 1875 and lived -on a farm near Cre­ diton, raising a family of eight children. Mr. Finkbeiner died in 11:914 after which she spent a few years with her sons in Western Canada before coming to Sebewaing Mrs. Finkbeiner, a long life mem­ ber of the Evangelical Church, has not been able to attend church ser­ vices for the past 4 years .This however, has not dampened her love for her Savior. Each Sunday she enjoys the many sermons which are a part of the Sunday morning’ broadcasts. Although her hearing is somewhat impaired, she is still very alert in mind and body. An adept rug maker, she has made e- nough hooked and crocheted rugs and other articles to fill a large room to the ceiling. Failing eye­ sight has forced her to give up this work. Her children are; John and Harry Finkbeiner, of Oswald, Man.; Mrs. Anna Messner, Buffalo, N. Y.; Mrs. Ida Geiger, Saskatoon, Sask.; Mrs. Laura Miller," Westminister, B. C.; Miss Edna Finkbeiner, of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Russell Slotz- hauer, Wilkie, Sask.; and Mrs. Fred Currey, of Sebewaing. She al­ so has 19 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren Mrs. Finkbein­ er has many friends in this commu­ nity who have pleasant recollec­ tions of associations with her in former years and who extend con­ gratulations and good wishes for future health end hapiness.
