- From Heinrich Janzen's life story:
"In the meantime, these things of importance to me and you took place. I had the chance to drive with my neighbor to the new settlement Sagradowka. Three of my brothers and sisters lived there, and Jakob Friesen had one brother to visit there. After arriving at my brother, Aron Janzen's, he said to me one nice evening that his neighbors had gone to the Molotschna, which was about 200 miles, driving with horses. They had a grown-up daughter and a good one, too, who very well understood farm management. Since I was grown and old enough to have a good housekeeper, and as I didn't want to say no to my brother, I said, "Come let's go down and see." Well we went there and I liked her very much, and probably she liked me too, because she allowed me to visit her again, and that I did. Then I returned home with Jakob Friesen.
I thought and I thought how I could break the news to my parents, especially my Mother, but finally it had to be done. In the first days of November in 1875, I told Mother what I intended to do and Mother told Father. On a rainy day we drove to Sagradowka and on November 11, Katharina Gossen and I celebrated our wedding. The dear lovely Katharina had not seen me before nor had I seen her. I have never regretted it, and she was indeed a loving, true housewife. She left her parents and borthers and sisters to go with me, not only to Rosenhoff, 200 miles away, but without complaint to America in 1879.
