Biographical history

Abram Friesen, minister and farmer, was born March 24, 1863 in Russia and came to Canada with his parents in 1875, settling in the village of Rosenheim, West Reserve, Manitoba.

Friesen was elected at Grossweide on February 26 and ordained to the ministry on March 15, 1908 by Aeltester Abraham Doerksen of the Sommerfeld Mennonite Church.
