Kornelius K. Neufeld: printer; born 22 January 1898 in Nikolayevka (Kronstadt) No. 5, Ignatyevo, South Russia to Kornelius Neufeld (11 February 1873, Andreasfeld, Chortitza, South Russia - 17 April 1945, Sardis, British Columbia, Canada) and Susanna (Unrau) Neufeld (15 January 1874, Kronsweide, Chortitza, South Russia - 8 June 1955, Chilliwack, British Columbia). Kornelius K. passed away on 17 April 1988 in Abbotsford, British Columbia and was buried in Yarrow.
Married first:
On 13 June 1920 Kornelius was married to Anna Neufeld by Rev. Hermann A. Neufeld, the bride’s father.
Anna Neufeld (13 January 1901, Nikolayevka, Ignatyevo, South Russia – 23 October 1942, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) on 13 June 1920, in Nikolayevka. Anna was the daughter of Herman A. Neufeld (1860-1931) and Katharina (Klassen) Neufeld (1864-1940) and was the sister of the well-known choral musician K. H. Neufeld (1892-1957).
Children to this union three survived infancy: Susanna, Kornelius Jim, and Herman; two other children died as infants.
Married second:
Kathryn Regehr (3 October 1908, Reinfeld, Yazykovo, South Russia - 10 December 1996, Abbotsford, British Columbia) on 2 October 1943 in Winnipeg, a daughter of Gerhard Peter Regehr (1866-1960) and Maria (Siemens) Regehr (1873-1944).
Children to this union three, Ernest, Benjamin, and Victor.
Although the rest of Anna’s family immigrated to Canada in 1923, Kornelius and Anna, his parents, his sister, and their two children (Susie and Kornelius) did not follow them until 1929, when the political situation made it almost too late. In 1923, Kornelius and Anna took over her parents’ house and farm, in Nikolayevka.
In the spring of 1930, they arrived in Winkler, Manitoba, where Anna’s parents now lived. Twelve years later, on 2 October 1942, Anna passed away suddenly of a heart condition.
One of Neufeld’s co-workers was Jacob Regehr, whose younger sister, Kathryn, was teaching in a one-room school in Kansas, USA at the time. When visiting Jacob’s house, Neufeld noticed a picture of Kathryn on the dresser, and determined that she was the one he wanted to marry. After one meeting, followed by many letters back and forth, the couple felt they had gotten to know each other very well, and on 2 October 1943 they were married, in Winnipeg. The minister, again, was Neufeld’s father-in-law, Rev. Herman Neufeld. At the time, neither Kornelius nor Kathryn were baptized, and they now decided together to take this step. They were baptized in the lake at Bird’s Hill Park, Winnipeg in August 1944.
In 1945, Kornelius’ father died, and he, Kathryn, and their baby son Ernest traveled to Yarrow for the funeral. Yarrow appealed to them, so they bought a lot on Central Road, and decided to move.
Kornelius retired at the age of 75. He and Kathryn moved to Clearbrook in 1973 and joined the Clearbrook Mennonite Brethren Church. They felt very much at home in this church, as many members had already moved there from Yarrow; also, a number of the members were acquaintances from Russia, including some of Kornelius’ former students from Nikolayevka.
