Johann and Sarah immigrated to Canada with their parents as a part of the  Mennonite Kleine gemeinde group. Johann and Sarah married on 4 January 1883 in Neuanlage, a village just a mile southwest of Blumenort, West Reserve, Manitoba.

They enjoyed gardening, and their property was known for its tall trees and abundant flowers. In 1918, Johann and Sarah sold their farm to their son and daughter-in-law and purchased land in the Prairie Rose district (Manitoba). On the farm, the couple raised chickens for their eggs, turkeys for sale in Winnipeg, and pigs for meat, in addition to growing grain and caring for an extensive garden.
