DESCENDANTS

Heinrich VOTH (1851-1918), an elder and outstanding leader of the Mennonite Brethren Church, was born in the village of Gnadenheim, Molotschna Colony, South Russia, on 19 February 1851, the fourth of eleven children of Heinrich VOTH (11 May 1823 – 27 August 1887) and Helena (Fast) Voth (30 June 1823 – 21 December 1884). [Voth and Fast were married on 10 December 1844 - http://smharder.com/tree_quiring/f12.htm ] On 12 June 1873, he married SARAH KORNELSEN (21 March 1853 [17 March 1853], Pordenau, Molotschna Colony, South Russia – 25 April 1936 [July 8, 1920], Winkler, Manitoba, Canada) in Klippenfeld, Molotschna Colony. SARAH [KORNELSEN] was the daughter of HEINRICH KORNELSEN (15 June 1807 - 30 March 1857) and SARAH (WALL) [WALDE] KORNELSEN (1 August 1826 – 13 September 1897). Heinrich and Sarah [Voth] had eleven children (nine children grew to adulthood). Heinrich d. 26 November 1918 in Vanderhoof, BC and was buried in Winkler, MB. [ http://www.gameo.org/encyclopedia/contents/V6836.html ]
Heinrich Voth Founder of the Mennonite Brethren Church in Canada ... When Heinrich Voth first came to southern Manitoba in the 1880s to witness to his faith among fellow Mennonites, he came to a community searching for new answers. Voth had arrived in the United States from Russia less than a decade before and settled at Bingham Lake, Minnesota. He and his wife Sarah (Kornelsen) had embraced a strong personal faith in Christ in Russia. Voth had been a teacher in Klippenfeld in the Molotschna Colony for several years before moving to the U.S.

When the Voths emigrated to America in 1876 they had not yet joined the Mennonite Brethren Church. About a year later, over the objections of his parents, they were baptized by a lay member of the small Mennonite Brethren Church at Bingham Lake. A few weeks later, Voth was chosen to be the minister of the group. He faithfully led this church for forty-two years.

Voth was a persuasive and attractive evangelist, a strong Bible teacher and preacher, and a vigorous conference leader. Although he sometimes met resistance, he was not easily derailed from his commitments. Voth also was a notable practitioner of a system of itinerant ministry that early Mennonite Brethren used with great effectiveness. This system involved going into communities (mostly Mennonite) and finding opportunities to share the gospel in homes, schools or churches, always with the hope of leading people to a clear sense of forgiveness of sins and new life in Christ. Such itinerant ministry was a key to the growth of the Mennonite Brethren Church in Russia and in America ...

His son, Henry S. Voth, later became leading minister of the Winkler Church and was a very effective conference leader. It was he who had his father's bones brought to Winkler, to be buried in the soil where he spent so much of his life's passion ...

[ http://www.mbhistory.org/profiles/voth.pdf ]

Before emigrating to Minnesota in 1876, Heinrich Voth and his wife, Sara (Kornelson), had lived in the village of Klippenfeld in the Molotschna Colony in Ukraine. He was a teacher in Russia, but devoted his energy to the development of his 40-acre farm after relocating to their new home in the United States.

He was blessed with a short, stocky build, grew a full beard, and possessed an attractive appearance and a pleasant personality. His family of nine children, was of great importance to him. Although Voth was often away from home because of his ministry, he continued to enjoy a warm and close relationship with his family. ....
