Note:
Christina Wiest was born 25 March, 1868, to Heinrich & Johanna Hoffman Wiest, members of the Reformed Church. She was the sixth child of twelve, all born in Rohrbach, South Russia. In November of 1884, at the age of 16, Christina accompanied her family to America,their emigration took them to Menno, S.Dakota. Three young sisters, Rosina (aged 3), Eva (aged 8), and Elizabeth (aged 7) were buried in Rohrbach, S.Russia. Christina felt of death early in life.It was in 1884 that there was much excitement about obtaining homesteads on the virgin lands in North Dakota, and so a number of men made the trip and filed for their homesteads. Among those was a young man by the name of John Lehr, son of Andrew Lehr and Rosina Brandt Lehr. His mother died in Russia, leaving his father with a family of 6 children, between l874 - l877. His father re-married to Karlina Wahl and they had one child Jacob before they came to America.
John Lehr, who was born on 7 June, 1865 in Kassel, South Russia, first met and then married Christina Wiest on 17 November, 1866, in Eureka, S.Dakota. They took up their new homestead in the Beaver Creek area, in McIntosh County, N.Dakota. Thousands of wild cattle roamed the prairies. These animals were of such a curious temperament that when a team and wagon came in sight, they would surround it and press ever closer. It was one of these times that prompted John Lehr to fire his gun into the air, which frightened them away.
Bones from the carcasses of buffalo lay so abundantly over the prairies that it was difficult to drive a team and wagon without running over them. The first consideration on a virgin homestead was to build a house.
With little lumber and prairie as far as you could see, they built a sodhouse into a thick bank of a lake. It measured about 20 ft. x 30 ft. Three sides were sodded, and nature provided the bank for the back wall. The roof was stabilized with lumber, then sodded over for insulation and protection. The dirt floor soon took on a glazed finish, and was easy to sweep. John related how he was able to step out the door and shoot enough ducks for a meal on demand. They gathered buffalo bones by the wagonload for funds to help supply their needs.
In 1888, Christina was baptized into the Evangelical Church ond on 28 October 1888, she gave birth to their first child, a son whom they called John, after his father. In l889, they had another son named Henry, after his maternal grandfather. Amelia was born 6 November 1890, and died before the 1900 census. When she was a toddler, she met with a most disturbing accident. Her mother had rendered some animal fat, and set it in the corner cupboard under a shelf on the floor. Setting a washtub across the front of it as a shield did not prevent Amelia from squeezing behind it and when her legs touched the hot pan she jumped and lost her balance and sat into the hot lard which splashed up to her waist. The pain was so great she literally crawled up the walls. One of the neighbors came by and advised a healing remedy. They took unslacked lime and poured water over it,stirred it while it re-acted with a boiling, bubbling action. When it died down and quit, the lime settled as it cooled and a clear liquid rose to the surface which they drained off, and mixed linseed oil into it, and spread this on her burns. It did, in fact, heal her burns, except for a soft spot above her hip, that infected internally, and in time cost her life. They built her coffin and prepared her for burial. The eldest son John drove the wagon which carried her little casket to the corner of their homestead. As they drove along, he turned to his father and said "One day I will die and you can bury me here, too". It was a number of years later when this came to pass.
Karl was born on 15 April, 1892, and also died as a child before the 1900 census. He may have been the one who suffered from severe nosebleeds that left him weak and listless. There was little anyone could do to help, so the condition worsened. One morning he called to his mother and said "This afternoon I am going away", and indeed, that afternoon he passed away.
In April of 1894 they had another little girl, whom they named Amelia after her deceased sister. In about a year and a half she was given a little sister, Anna, born on 2 Sept. 1896.
A little son, Benjamin, saw the light of the world on 3 August, 1898 and may have been the child who died shortly after birth. His name never appeared on the 1900 Census either. Lydia was born to the Lehrs on 3 Oct. 1900, and was a nursing baby when the diptheria epidemic hit in the spring of 190l.Within a week or so, Anna, 6; Amelia,4; Henry, ll; and John, l2, had all succumbed to the dreaded disease, leaving baby Lydia the only child surviving.
The records indicate that these seven children were all born in the Beaver Creek area, McIntosh County, N. Dakota, and buried on the homestead where they were born and lived. By now, there were more settlers in the Beaver Creek area. Some Soo Rail road surveyors were looking for a suitable place to run the rail line and to establish a town. John Lehr donated 40 acres of land where the townsite would be located. Their sod dwelling was located about a helf-mile northwest of the city of Lehr. Because the town was situated in two counties, McIntosh County and Logan County, they could not call it a town and so was declared a city with a population of ninety-one. The State Highway l3 formed the dividing line. In 1898, the Soo Rail line was extended from Kulm, through Lehr, and finally to Bismark.
It wasn't until May of 1909 that three acres of land was bought fromAndrew Lehr, a brother to John Lehr, for the Lehr cemetery site. Father John Lehr took a trip to Canada in 1900 and liked what he saw in the southeastern part of Alberta, an area then called Josephburg. He returned home to Lehr to make further plans. On 10 Sept. 1902, Anna was born in Lehr, N.Dakota, but she was always known as Annie and thus far (Jan 2001) is the sole survivor being 98 years of age. In 1903, the Lehrs decided to move to Canada. They travelled by train and with the help of the Canadian Gov't, it only cost them $25.00. They arrived in Irvine, Alta. with two little girls, Lydia and Annie and a foster son,John Tokamp, aged l4. This young man had been living with John Lehr's sister,Alvena Derheim and her husband John, and family in the Dakotas. But when the Derheims moved with their sizeable family, it was more convenient for the Lehrs to take him. He was often referred to as John Lehr,Jr.. The Lehrs settled ten miles south and east of Irvine, Alta.
Now another little girl arrived on 17 March, 1902 who was named Bertha.and two years later, Gideon was born on 15 March, 1906, followed by Emil born on 11 March, 1908, all born in Irvine, Alta.(a total of 6 sons & 6 daughters). There was considerable agitation with some of the neighbors who had been persuaded to join a sect that was commonly referred to as the "Dreamers". Their headman lived in South Dakota and was supposed to be God. He was a Mr. Merkel. His son who lived in the Josephburg area was known as the son of God.They considered any friendly greetings from others outside their sect as of Satan and were quoted as replying to a cheerful "Gooten daug" (good day) with "What's the matter with you? Do you have worms in your head?" Annie recalled when she was six years old, being shot at by the Dreamers when she crossed their land on her way to school. Whatever their dreams were, were interpreted by the leaders, and their followers had to act them out in reality. They wrote numerous obscene "religious letters" quoting scripture out of context, to John Lehr threatening to destroy him by brimstone and fire.
John Lehr was a peacemaker and a sincere and devout Godfearing man who loved and cared about his neighbors. He often counselled the victims of the "Dreamers" as to how to settle the wrongs. As a result, he himself became their target. It so happened that another John Lehr, having a wife also named Christine, also resided in the area. To distinguish between the two, Father Lehr wrote his name John "S" Lehr, thus indicating that he was the Sabbather Lehr. But the Dreamers referred to him as "Satan" Lehr.
He had just completed a new house which was valued at $5,000.00 on a stone foundation. On ll April, 1908, only a month after Emil was born, the family had been out visiting. While they were gone, some stones were rolled away from under the foundation of the home and a dog's dish filled with kerosene was pushed in under the house. After the family had returned home and retired, young John Tokamp lay restlessly in his upstairs bedroom. As he lay there, he smelt smoke, and got up to see. The wall of the house was on fire and burning vigorously. Young John couldn't come down the stairs because of the smoke, so he climbed out onto the porch roof, and slid down a post. He awakened the family, and literally saved their lives. John Lehr threw a mattress and some quilts out the window and they laid the children on that as he pulled them from the house. Then he ran over to a shed where he kept a new Democrat (a four-wheeled carriage, pulled by horses, for transporting the family). He prided himself on this as we do our cars. The wind was in the southwest, but when it changed to the northwest, he was very worried that the barn would catch afire, too. So he ran to the barn and cut all the halter ropes and chased the horses out of the building.
While the house was being destroyed, the Dreamers sat on the knoll of the hill to enjoy the excitement, and yelled "We told you that you would be destroyed by brimstone and fire". Annie remembered them standing back in the darkness watching. Mr. Lehr reported the incident to the police, a clear case of arson. The police came out and handcuffed them all, and they were loaded into wagons and democrats. John himself took one load to assist the police. and drove the day-long journey to Medicine Hat where they were jailed, awaiting trial.
It was an 18-day trial, but they could not prove who it was that set the fire. One of the "Dreamer's " wives was quoted as saying that had they known several weeks earlier that Mother Lehr was convalescing in bed after childbirth, they would have burned the house sooner. Shortly after, the sect broke up and most of them joined the Seventh Day Adventists.
In 1910, the Lehrs moved into Irvine and they lived there so their children could attend school. In 1912 they moved to Medicine Hat.. In 1916, they moved to another farm seven miles south of Irvine. Gideon writes that he went to school till he was 14 years old, after which he worked in the fields with horses and did a lot of fencing. They had ll quarter-sections of pastureland, and raised cattle, horses, and sheep, as well as a number of milk cows.
In 1917 they bought a Model T Ford for $500.00. They slaughtered their lambs and took them to Medicine Hat butcher shops in the back seat of their car,delivering 5 or 6 lambs each week. In 1919 it was a very dry season which caused a feed shortage, so they put up two big stacks of Russian thistles. They were not hard to stack, as they loaded them in the rack in the field, drove to the side of the stack and built up the sides, then the centre was filled last. The thistles were very porous and could not spoil, so it was fairly good feed. 1919 was the year of the Spanish flu, which caused a lot of sickness and some deaths. Father and Mother Lehr were out every day visiting the sick and helping them. Their family never contracted the flu. The winter following was a very hard winter. The snow was deep and it was very cold. The cattle took sick with hemorrhagic septicemia and twenty-seven head were lost. Only twenty four head were left in the spring. The hides were worth $5-$6 each, so it was worth skinning the carcasses. With the weather being so cold, they had a hard time keeping up with the skinning, so they opened the hide down the legs and across the bottom of the belly, trimming around the neck. Then the next day after the critter died, they pulled the the hides off the frozen carcassess with a team of horses.
Lydia married John Heinz on 18 March, 1919. They had five small children when she had a heart attack during the night of the 28 Jan.1928 and died at the age of 28, in Hilda, Alta. Her parents helped to care for the children. Then he remarried Kathryn Gebhardt, who mothered his 5 children,namely Elroy,William,Edna, Ella,Harry, & one son of their own,named Herbert.
Annie married John Deibert on 14 March, 1922. Two daughters Edna & Irene and one son Robert Elroy who died Dec 1999.were born to them. Their marriage ended in divorce, with Annie left to raise her family alone. Once again, mother and father Lehr helped. But Annie was determined to take care of her family, which indeed she did.
Bertha married Christian Deibert, a brother to John, on 7 Feb. 1923. They lived in the Burstall, Sask. area and experienced a devastating crop failure.
Their first child, a daughter, was born on 6 March, 1924, in Medicine Hat under the care of a so-called midwife. Bertha fought infection and clung to life for six months, weighing eighty-five pounds. Mother Lehr took the infant home and named her Alma and cared for her. Finally, in sheer desparation, the doctor decided to give Bertha a transfusion, and found a blood match in her husband. The monitoring was inadequate, so afterwards, Chris was very weak, but in a few days, he regained his strength, and from then on, Bertha improved very well.
John Lehr had gone west and bought more land south of Cardston, Alta.for his family, so Chris and Bertha rented it jointly with John & Annie. The house was divided, so the two young families could both live there. But after a year, John was anxious to get going, so being an excellent mechanic, he sought work in garages, and eventually settled in Foremost, Alta. but Annie was left alone so she settled in Vauxhall, Alta. where she raised her three children alone.
In 1928 Chris and Bertha bought an adjoining farm and moved into a "cook-house" for the summer. They purchased the old Taylorville school house and pulled it for 2 miles with an old Mogul tractor to their farm site and prepared it for their home. There they raised their four children,Alma, Harvey,Jean and Dennis. In the years of 1926 & 1927, there were around 300 acres broken and the crops yielded abundantly.
Gideon married Katharine Will on 19 March l928. They moved onto the farm that Chris and Bertha had vacated, and made their home there for many years where they raised their three sons Harold, Lester, & Bob, the firstborn was stillborn. They retired into the town of Cardston, Alta. Kate died of a heart attack. Gideon married again but after a few years, his second wife also died of a heart attack. He married for the 3rd time, and died himself in 1989.
John and Christina Lehr visited their sons and daughters periodically at their new farms. In 1928 the Lehrs sold their Irvine farm and moved into Medicine Hat, and retired there. Christina's health was poor and they could not determine the problem. John took her to resorts and tried in vain to find help for her condition. They once again visited their children in southern Alberta. While staying at Gideon & Kate's home, they sought the services of a wonderful family doctor (Mulloy) who discovered that she was suffering from a heart ailment which they could do nothing about. The problem was with her for about ten months. During that visit, Christina died at the home of her son Gideon on the 20 Aug. 1929. The funeral ttendants drove 20 miles from Cardston to the farm, wrapped her body in a large tarp and rolled it into a long wicker basket which was tied to the front bumper of the car and took her to the funeral home where she was prepared for shipment back to Medicine Hat where she was buried. As the car left the farm with the body, Emil overheard his father say "Well, there goes the last of Mother".
On 24 Oct. of 1929, two months after his mother passed away, Emil wasmarried to Rebecca Widmer, and they also moved to southern Alberta, where they operated a farm just north of Gideon's place. They raised four children there.They left the farm in 1941 and moved to Cardston where Emil worked with the Cockshutt Machinery for a number of years, run a restaurant called the Cardston Grill jointly with his neice Alma and her husband, Morgan Wolsey, then they sold that and moved to Penticton, B.C. where they lived for a number of years. He died of a heart attack in Sept.1988 and was buried in Calgary, Alta. His widow sold their home in B.C. & moved to Red Deer, Alta. in 1990. John Lehr made a visit back to Lehr, N.Dakota in 1930,and met numerous relatives there. He visited with his brother Frederick's wife,Elizabeth, who was a widow. They were married in Medicine Hat on 10 April l930, for thirteen years until Elizabeth Olhauser Lehr died on 9 Sept 1943. On 5 June,1944, John Lehr again married Christina Albrecht. Five years later, John Lehr passed away on 12 April, 1949 and was buried near his first wife in Medicine Hat.
I, Alma Deibert WOLSEY, being the grand-daughter of Christina and John Lehr, have had occasion to walk where they walked years before. I have visited their homesteads in the Dakotas and in Alberta, and recall visiting them in their retirement home in Medicine Hat, Alta. I was only five years old when Grandma Lehr was called home so my personal memories are vague. But I owe her for my livelihood and my name for the first six months after my birth.
As for my Grandpa Lehr, we had a warm relationship and we were always happy when they came to visit us. I especially recall that their favorite treat to us was peppermint candy, and I must have eaten more than my fill as to this day I do not like peppermint. Shortly after my marriage, he gave us an old sewing machine, treadle style, which I used for many years. I have always regretted that I sold it, and have even attempted to locate it again but to no avail.
As a child, their visits meant getting new pieces of fabric which was a most appreciated gift, and the material was made up into dresses and aprons. When grandpa died, we had three small children and considerable struggle getting ahead, so I did not go to his funeral, which I have always regretted.
It has been a very moving experience for me to assemble the fragments of this story of their lives, and I truly regret that I did not write down all the great stories grandpa told us during his numerous visits,particularly the time they lived in South Russia. I had the privilege of going back to Grandma Lehr's place of birth , Rohrbach, S.Russia in August of 1990. We saw the great lands there, and know of their hardships in having to leave that beautiful country as agriculturists.
I beg forgiveness for any errors or omissions that may have occurred in this compilation. Because I am proud of my heritage, I have yearned to know more about their lives. There have been so many changes since their time era.
I feel the great responsibility is mine to keep the link of their lives continue smoothly on through my life and that of our posterity. I spoke their German language, and ate their traditional German foods, and echoed their unique sayings, and was raised with their culture. We all owe them a great debt of gratitude that they foresaw coming to America so that we could have FREEDOM - to work, worship, to speak, to live according to the dictates of our conscience, to choose our destiny, and to pass it all on to our children.
I so do want our children and their children after them to hold this History dear and sacred for their records, with the sincere hope that they will honor our forefathers as I do. May you all have the desire in your hearts and souls to be diligent in recording your life events, that we may all learn from each other and thereby bypass the many pitfalls of inexperience, and thus be engaged in being close to one another, with heartfelt sincerity and genuine concern for one another.

Died before the 1900 census. When she was but a toddler,she met with a most disturbing accident. Her mother had rendered some animal fat, and set it in the corner cupboard under a shelf on the floor. She set a washtub as a barricade across the front of it to be sure none of the children would have access to it. Little Amelia being curious squeezed between the tub and the cupboard, and when her legs touched the hot pot, she jumped and lost her balance and sat into the hot fat which splashed up to her waist. The pain was excruciatingly unbearable. One of the neighbors came by and suggested a healing remedy. By pouring water over unslacked lime and allowing the bubbling & boiling action to die down, then it was set to cool off. When the lime settled and the clear liguid rose, they mixed linseed oil with the clear lime water and spread this on her burns. It did, in fact, heal her burns, except for a soft spot above her hip, which would not heal. The sore went inward and eventually cost her life. They built her coffin and buried her in the corner of the honestead.

Because Karl was not listed on the 1900 census, we assume that he may have been the child who suffered chronic nosebleeds and became so anaemic, listless and weak,with little that anyone could do to help. His condition worsened...one morning he called his mother and said "This afternoon I am going away,".......indeed that afternoon he passed away. He, too was buried in the private little family homestead plot.

Anna lived to be about four years old and was also a victim of the diptheria epidemic. She was also laid to rest with the rest of the children in the homestead plot. It was recalled that no-one dared to come to their assistance at a time like this because of the contagious effects, so the family prepared the body and dressed them and made their coffins and held their own little services alone.

Joyce Kelly, loving wife, mother, sister and grandmother peacefully passed away surrounded by family. After a number of short hospital stays between May - August, Joyce succumbed to cancer on Saturday, August 7, 2010. Joyce and husband John celebrated their fifty-second wedding anniversary on June 28, 2010 and were blessed with two much loved children Anita (Chris) Bowman and Robert (Patricia) Kelly. Joyce's pride and joy were her grandchildren Anissa Claire and Taylin Shae Kelly who she visited often and cherished above all else. She has so many family and friends whose visits, prayers and cards wishing her well were gratefully appreciated by her and her children. Joyce was predeceased by her parents, Rebecca and Emil Lehr. She is survived by her loving siblings, sister Gladys (Bill) Fletcher and brothers Clarence (Donna) Lehr and Ron (Diane) Lehr, and their families.
Over the years Joyce maintained contact with all her relatives as best as possible and she and John have many happy memories of time spent with each of them. Joyce was raised and educated in the Cardston, Alberta area and met her husband, John while studying at the University of Oklahoma. John, Joyce and Anita returned to Canada in 1960 to reside in Calgary, where Joyce lived for the rest of her life. Following many years of employment at the University of Calgary as Executive Assistant to the Deans of the Faculties of Social Welfare and Continuing Education Joyce retired to an active life. She was very involved assisting numerous ministries at Corpus Christie Catholic Parish including her much valued participation in the 9:00 a.m. Sunday Choir. She loved to spend time with her children and grandchildren, ski, golf, hike, travel and making even more friends through her extensive participation in the Calgary Square Dancing community. Joyce and John started their square dancing with the Gadabouts Square Dance Club around 1992 which later joined with the Revellers and changed their name to the Prairie Winds. She travelled with John and friends to many National Conventions and enjoyed two cruises of the Mediterranean with square dance friends.
Joyce and John and family have so many people to thank.... Of particular mention are the many doctors, nurses and care-givers involved with the Alberta Health Care Services, Emergency Medical Services Foothills Medical Center (Intensive Care Unit and three general wards) and Sheldon Chumir Hospital whose phenomenal care and professionalism were outstanding and did everything possible to treat Joyce's condition. Together they ensured maximum comfort and most importantly, some valuable time at home where, under the vigilant care of the Calgary South Health Care personnel, she enjoyed many weeks with family and friends. The family is forever grateful to all of her caregivers and cannot speak highly enough of the support and treatments provided by the Alberta Health Care System during her illness.
Funeral Mass celebrated at Corpus Christi Catholic Church (404 Northmount Drive N.W.) on Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. with The Rev. Raul Ranola, Presider. A private Graveside Service will be held at Mountain View Memorial Gardens at a later date.
