Her father came to Canada the spring of 1910. Then in October 1910, Agnes, her mother and three older siblings arrived in Canada. The family homesteaded in the Fox Valley area, then moved to the Cedoux area in the mid 20's. Franciska passed away at a very early age so Agnes became a mother to three of her younger siblings while she was still a young teenager. Frank and Agnes got married in Cedoux in May, 1936 and took up farming between Griffin and Creelman. Here they rented land from Perry Clark, a relationship that continued until the day they retired from farming. In the 50's the family moved to the Froude area so that the boys could go to high school. In the 60's Frank and Agnes moved into the Hamlet of Froude and operated the grocery store, at the same time they continued farming. In the 70's they retired and moved into Weyburn. Agnes had a reputation of being a very good cook and enjoyed doing various types of needlework. She also enjoyed gardening when she was able. Prayers were held on Friday, December 21, at 7:00 p.m. from Hastings-Dionne Funeral Chapel, Weyburn, with Mary Ann Seitz presiding. A funeral mass was held Saturday, December 22 at 11:00 a.m. from St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church, Weyburn, with Father Francis Hengen celebrant. Interment followed at Hillcrest Cemetery, Weyburn. Active pallbearers were Jack Goski, Darby Goski, Calvin Goski, Gary Goski, Julian Goski and Larry Mus.
