Biehn - Aaron Biehn was born April 3, 1855 near the village of Doon, Waterloo Co, Ont; died Nov 8, 1935; aged 80 y, 7 m, 5 d.
On Oct 24, 1882, he was married to Mary Bowman of New Dundee, Ont, who passed away Sept 24, 1924. In 1889 he was ordained a deacon of the Mennonite Church for the Strasburg, Ont, field of labor.
He leaves 4 sons and 1 daughter (Clayton, Freeman, Leander, Aaron, and Mrs Clemens Snyder). He is also survived by 21 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.
In 1905 he moved with his family to Guernsey, Sask, where he took up land and resided until his death. He served as deacon in the Sharon Mennonite Church till death.
He was well preserved and was in good health. He had spent the summer months in Ontario, attending the General Conference, and returned home soon after Conference. He left home the day of his death to visit at Bro B B Weber's home. Soon after dinner he took a walk, walking about a mile and a half. He seemed none the worse for his walk, and about 5:00 PM left Weber's to return home. No concern was felt at his non-arrival home that evening, it not being unusual for him to walk to homes in the neighborhood and at times to remain over night. About noon the next day inquiries were made as to his whereabouts, and as no one had seen the aged brother, a search was made and the body was discovered by Clemens Snyder about one-half mile from Bro Biehn's home, 100 yards from the road as he had commenced a short cut across the field.
The funeral was held Nov 12, with services at the home and at Sharon Mennonite Church, in charge of Bro M H Schmitt and Bro Burton Weber. Texts, II Tim 4:6,8; Jno. 16:16. The body was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery.
