Frank and Marie Loewen Jost - Golden Wedding

October 19, 1916-October 19,1966

Mother and Dad were married fifty years ago on Oct 19, 1916, after a
short secretive dating period.  Dad had asked Mother to go to the College Choral
practice about two years earlier but she refused because she believed it would
not be right for her to go with someone who was not a Christian.  When Dad
was converted he asked her again and soon they decided to be partners for life. 
Their wedding day was unusual in that the weather was varied-sunshine,
snow, sleet, and rain, all in the same day!  This was indicative of the experiences
during their married life.  The sunshine represents the blessings the Lord
provided.  Five healthy children that came to bless their home.  They all
accepted Christ as their personal Saviour in their early youth.  Then the material
blessings that the Lord entrusted to them which enable them to give to the
Lord?s work and to the Church.  The snow and sleet could represent the times
when they had a severe drouth, and they wondered how to make their payments
during the depression years. Then there was the summer when the hail took the
wheat harvest, and the spring when we were involved in a car accident on the
way to the Song Festival.  That summer Dad could do very little of the work
connected with the harvest.  The rain could represent the sickness that came to
our family.  These were the years that Mother was not well as we were growing
up.  The time when Dad had a pinched nerve and Uncle Jake had to come and
take Dad to the doctor.  The autumn when
Dad had an accident, the drill fell on
his arm and he spent hours hoping someone would hear his call or come looking
for him.  After weeks in the hospital and exercising much patience during the
following months the Lord restored Dad again so that he could carry on his work.
One spring Franklyn had a bleeding ulcer, a quick operation followed and several
weeks of concern whether he would remain with us.  The Lord again answered
our prayers.  Later Dad had another siege in the hospital due to an operation.
Now Dad again has been spared so that we could have this celebration after his
sever heart attack.  This is the reason for this celebration; to acknowledge the
blessings and the gracious way the Lord has dealt with our parents and with us
as a family.  We praise the Lord. 
Hitherto the Lord helped us. I Samuel 7:12. 
The first year they lived on a rented farm near Goessel, Kansas.   Later
they moved to the farm that all of us children called home.  I can remember
when the house was built (1923).  Some of the cold days were spent with the
Grandparents.  Mother and Dad stayed on the farm.  One wheat bin in the
grainery served as the bedroom and the kitchen of the old house was used to
prepare the meals and later became the wash house. 
Franklyn and Eldon were born in the new house.  Franklyn's birthday was
the second of December the first winter and Eldon was born on March 6 two
years later.  After nine years less one day Victor came along to complete the
family.  I remember how we used to play with him, no doubt we spoiled him but
he was a good boy.                                               
We children had lots of fun while growing up, but as we grew older we
had our share of work.  The garden always seemed to need hoeing.  Dad was a
good farmer so we had lots of cows, calves, and chickens to feed.  We all knew
what our chores were.  I remember that we had turkeys and  later we had
geese.  For awhile we had goats.  One goat did not want to stay tied up, at one
time he tore himself loose and jumped onto the car and dad had to get him
off-that was the time to get rid of him..
Harvest time was always a busy time.  There were the big meals to
prepare and  lunches to fix.  Often we had hired help.  I remember the big
threshing machine.  In the fall was haying time.   That was time for crullers and
watermelon. 
Mother and Dad were always interested in our activities in school.   Dad often
told us that he would like all of us to go to college so that we would have greater
opportunities than he had.  Dad encouraged us to teach so Marlys and I both
taught before we were married.  Franklyn also taught several years before
attending Seminary.  
Walter and I were married in 1942, we spent twenty years together
before the Lord called him home.  Two boys and two girls were born to us.
Marlys married Dan Penner a year later.  This home was blessed with two boys
and two girls.  Franklyn married Phoebe Wiebe.  He is the pastor of the M. B.
Church in Bridgewater, S.D. Two boys and a girl were born to them.  Eldon is
married to Luella Schroeder of Buhler, after working for a contractor he soon
went into the contracting business for himself.  They have been blessed with two
boys.  Victor married Myrna Eitzen from our home church, He is farming on the
home place.  They have two girls that came to bless their home. 
Many other things could be mentioned that were highlights in our home.  Such
as the Bible reading and prayer at the breakfast table and the Christmases that
we spent together as a family.  We just would like to say that we appreciate so
very much all the wonderful things you have done for us as children and the love
you have shared with us.   The Lord bless you  is our prayer.
