Peardonville Road farm purchased by widowed Anna

This is a photo of the Peardonville Road farm purchased by widowed Anna Doerksen (nee Anna Kehler). Anna subdivided the Peardonville farm, selling off lots as required so her children could all attend Bible school. While the Doerksen's Clayburn farm was more fruitful and well-developed, her children understood that their mother wanted to live closer to Abbotsford so that they would be able to walk to Mennonite Educational Institute (MEI), to youth group, to church, and to the MB Bible school (MBBI). See page 217 in Daughters in the House of Jacob.
