Possible burial location of Anna Lock Batke, 1939

On the Saskatchewan Mennonite Cemetery Finding Aid of the Mennonite Historical Society of Saskatchewan, Inc. the Elim Mennonite Brethren Church Cemetery is listed.  The list includes 148 individuals buried in the cemetery located in Queen Center. On the list is an Annie Batke, born 27 Jun 1848, died 31 Oct 1939. I believe this could be Anna Lock Batke. More documentation is needed to prove this theory.

This second page of Anna's homestead papers notes that Johan (John) Batke owns the northwest quarter of section 23, i.e., he owns the property next door. The document says she has no home on the property. It is assumed that Anna was living with John in his home in the adjoining property.  In addition, where you see Mrs. Anna Batke written in the center of the page, it is not her handwriting.  What is also shown is "her + mark" which means she could not write her name.  Page 2 of Homestead document.

Anna Lock Batke obtained a homestead entry for the southwest quarter of section 23, township 14, range 6 west of the third meridian in Saskatchewan on March 12, 1913, just seven months after arriving in Canada. On the document is says her age is 72.  Given the document was executed in April 1920, it would make Anna's birth year c1848.  In addition, next to the "Certificate of Naturalization" is written 2-12-19, which means that Anna became a citizen on this date.  Page 1 of Homestead papers.
