Guests from Mexico

March 1, 1936 The children and I went to church.  Mama and the little three stayed at Mother’s.  For faspa we went to Peter Bartels.  In the evening we went to H. H. Friesen.  Abe E. Friesens from Mexico were there.

Great things are afoot in the Siemens household.  Abram E. Friesens had come from Mexico.  Abram Friesen had married Margaret’s oldest sister Katharina H. Reimer (1880-1925), and they had moved to Mexico to a Mennonite colony there.  Katharina had died there in 1925, and Abram E. Friesen had remarried.  But Abram’s daughter Anna R. Friesen was living in Meade now.  Abram and his second wife came to Meade.  And they very likely brought an important document with them.
