Jacob Thiessen
In April, 2006 Kathy [Thiessen]and I took a trip to two places in Ontario, Canada. The first place was to see Kathy's relatives and friends who live in Leamington, a small town not far from Windsor and Windsor's American sister city, Detroit ...
The next two photos are of Kathy's [Thiessen] grandfather Jacob Thiessen where he grew up in Russia. Kathy's relatives are German. They were among many Mennonites who were invited to work the fields in Russia by Katherine the Great. During the Bolshevik Revolution in the early 1900's her relatives fled to various places including Canada and Brazil. The boy I have circled in the first photo is Jacob Thiessen.

Louise (Mathies) Ross (June 2, 2013) - Obituary - Agatha Dick (Late wife of granary owner John Dick):
I am the 1/2 first cousin of her husband John Dick. John was the son of Abram Dueck. Abram who was the only son of our grandfather Johann Dueck with his first wife Anna Driedger. Grandfather Johann Dueck then married Margaretha Enns and had a huge family. My mother Margaret was one of them.
Below is a 2008 article Agatha provided to the Essex County Mennonite Heritage of her life.
Agatha Driedger Dick, born 1918 in Schönfeld, Brasol
My parents
were Ältester Nicholai N. Driedger, born 1893, and Tina Dueck, born
1897, both in Schönfeld. By the time I came into the world, life in
Schönfeld, along with many other Mennonite villages, had changed
drastically. Every family feared for their lives because of the
Machnov raids. I had colic when I was a baby, and when one of the
bandits heard me crying during a raid, he gave Mother peppermint
drops for me.
In September of 1919, before my first
birthday, our family, along with many others, fled to Neukirch,
Molotschna. Here we rented a house. I remember sitting in my high
chair and eating supper in the Kleinestube (small room) there in
1921. I wanted to eat the egg I saw on the table, but Grandmother
Dueck put it away. It was for Grandfather, who was ill.
My grandfathers had both died before we
left Russia: Grandfather Driedger in 1906 and Grandfather Dueck, a
Schönfeld Church Pastor, died in 1922, in Neukirch. Our family,
which consisted of my parents, my Mother's mother, sister Kathe and
myself, came to Canada in 1924. We spent the first summer with the
Henry Baumann family on their dairy farm in Waterloo, Ontario. My
brother Henry, born later that same year, was named after Mr.
Baumann. We kept in touch with the family for many years.
In January of 1925 we moved to Newton
Siding, Manitoba where six families had purchased a 1,000 acre farm.
Here I started school; my teacher was Miss Law. Brother Jake was
born in Newton Siding in 1927. In late fall of that year, our family
came to Pelee Island on one of the last boats of the season. We
lived on Middle Island at Mrs. McGinnis', then moved to Reeve Noah
Garno's place where brother Ernie was born. My father got work with
the township. I attended the Middle Island School where Mr. Pegg was
teacher; approximately half of the 30 students there were Mennonite.
Church services were first held in Mr. Pegg's church, then on Parson
Road in Konrad's living room.
In the fall of 1930, our family moved to
the mainland. During the first winter we lived in a house not far
from the Inman School which Kathe and I attended. Miss Blair was the
teacher. In spring of 1931 we moved to a small farm on concession 2,
near Ruthven. The house had no hydro, no running water, and no
telephone. Mom and Dad, five children, and grandmother Dueck lived
in this two bedroom house. The kitchen stove and a small stove in
the living room provided heat in the winter months.
Kathe and I went to school in Ruthven
and in the spring of 1931, I graduated from there. Henry and Jacob
also started school in Ruthven. Mr. Hunter was the teacher in the
senior room and Miss Malott in the junior room. Mr. Hunter wanted me
to go to high school, but this was not possible. The high school was
in Kingsville and there were no school busses at that time. There
also wasn't money to buy the school books.
During my first winter home from school,
I started work in the Rock City tobacco factory on Ivan Street in
Leamington. The tobacco factories were open only in the winter
months. In the summer both Kathe and I worked at various jobs on
nearby farms.
Dad was busy every evening preparing sermons and other
church-related work. This meant that we children needed to be as
quiet as possible.
John Dick, son of Abram and Margaret
Dueck, and I were married in 1940 at the Oak Street Mennonite
Church; Uncle Jacob Driedger officiated. It was wartime and
German-speaking people were viewed with suspicion. My Dad went to
the town police ahead of time to explain that a wedding would be
taking place in our church and that several cars would be coming to
his home for the reception. Henry Krueger's choir sang 'Gott grüsse
Dich' at the service. The guests came to our house and parked their
cars behind the barn. The adults ate in my parent's house; the young
people ate in the small house on our yard. A car dealer on Elliot
Street had offered a Willis car to John saying that it used little
gas and he should take it on the honeymoon. As a result, we went to
Niagara Falls in the Willis.
Our first home was on concession 7 and
18-19 side road where Jake and Agatha Neufeld later lived. When our
son John was born we moved to concession 8 to the farm which was
later purchased by John Rahm from Pelee Island. Peter and Marie Epp
were the next owners. My mother-in-law Margaret lived with us.
While our home at the corner of Highway
77 and concession 6 was being built, we lived near the lake in a
brick house, not far from Sherman's warehouse. By 1949, when we
moved into our new home, we already had three children. Our youngest
two were born while we lived there.
My husband John went into the produce
business and I became his book keeper. We built a shed on our
property with lumber John got from North Bay. Here farmers brought
their produce: field tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, celery, melons,
etc. to be shipped mainly by truck to destinations around Ontario
and Quebec. While I took care of the business at home and worked in
the office daily, our son John helped his dad pick up produce from
the farms. We stayed in this business for over ten years. In the
meantime, Wheatley Elevators, our second business receiving wheat,
soybeans and corn, was already up and operating. Eventually we gave
up the produce business; I worked in the office at Wheatley
Elevators until my retirement.
During their growing up years, our three
sons helped in the family business in the summer months. When two
had graduated from high school, and a third got his engineering
papers from the University of Windsor, all three worked there full
time and eventually took over the business.
John and I moved to Pickwick Drive in
1990. Here we celebrated our Golden Anniversary. We were married 58
years when John died in 1998. I moved into the Mennonite Home's
retirement residence in June of 2008.
Today I have five children, 13
grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.
