As the Christmas season was approaching and familiar songs and scenes started to appear once again, my mind was taken back to earlier days of how we used to celebrate Christmas with family and friends at home.

Uncle Neil in Churchill, MB

Uncle Cornelius (Neil) S. Kehler was asked to go to Churchill MB, to build a service station that would have two 10,000 gallon underground gas tanks. In a place like Churchill, this is a tricky task since there is either rock or sand under the surface, and the timing of the excavation must be very accurate, coinciding with the outgoing tide.  This was a task he wanted to tackle and get it over with. The tanks and a large backhoe were on site, with the added advantage of the 20 hour a day, continuous sunshine – all was set to go. Continue reading “Uncle Neil in Churchill, MB”

A Kehler Brothers’ Ritual

Of all the Berliner Kehler’ children, David and Johan were the closest of all the brothers, and they visited each other on a regular basis. When John & Annie went to visit David & Helen Kehlers’ farm, the children would pile into the back of the car and off they’d go.

The antics were mostly the same, when John, Annie and their clan would arrive on the David Kehler yard.  David and his family would be waiting outside. John would slow the car down and would step out, while the car was still rolling to a stop. Continue reading “A Kehler Brothers’ Ritual”

Thanks so much for visiting the website and supporting the momentous occasion, the unveiling of the Berliner Kehler Clan book that the cousins have been working on for some time now,  and also for allowing me to share with you very briefly on the  subject: “Faith of our Fathers”.

Now, the Bible text that came to my mind is found in the letter to the Hebrews chapter 10 & 11, and is known as the “faith chapter”.  I would like to share these few verses for you and just comment on them: Continue reading “Faith of Our Fathers”
