This is a 1924 photograph of a group of students and teachers at the Tiege School for the Deaf. The children and adults are arranged in 4 rows against a brick building which is largely hidden by foliage. The back row consists of 7 children with two men standing at either end of the row. These men are identified as "Teacher Wiebe" and "Teacher Dirks." A child, identified as Herta Giesbrecht, stands beside Dirks. Unidentified children make up the third row from the front. The second row from the front consists of 7 seated adults. These are identified left to right as: Andrez Suderman, "Director Wilhelm Schroeder," "House mother Schroeder," Malwina Dirks, Janzen, Peters and David Quapp. Unidentified children are seated in the front row.
This is an arrangement of 6 photographs chronicling the development of the original North Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church building from 1929 to 1941. The photographs begin with the picture of a small house size building in 1929. The 1932 photo shows that an entrance area has been added. The small building is surrounded by what appears to be late winter snow. A lone figure approaches the stairs. The 1934 photograph shows men working outside the church to which a small addition has been added. The roofing appears inconsistent or incomplete. The 1937 photograph shows the same building with completed roofing and 2 outhouses at the back of the building. One of the two 1941 photographs shows the church's exterior and the other shows the interior. The church now has a steeple at the front of the building. The interior has a relatively high ceiling and a stage with a pulpit and chairs for the choir. Long, simple light fixtures hang form the ceiling.
This photograph shows the banner of the Grace Church of the Mennonite Brethren in Cranberry Portage. It reads "Grow in Grace 1978 Cranberry Portage." It was likely the banner used in the church procession at the 100th anniversary celebration of the MB church in Canada held in Winkler in 1988.
