Edward S. Dudman (1883-1983) was one of a number of orphan boys from Dr. Bernardo's orphanage in London, England, adopted by Chortitzer families during the 1890's. Edward was taken in by the family of Jakob D. Wiebe, Chortitz, son of Aeltester Gerhard Wiebe (1827-1900) in 1897. In 1907 Edward married Regina Doerksen (1885-1965), daughter of Abraham Doerkson (1827-1916) of Schonthal, Manitoba - see article by niece Regina Neufeld elsewhere in this newsletter. Regina Doerksen came from royalty as Mennonites go: brother Abraham Doerksen (1853-1929) was the Bishop of the Sommerfelder Gemeinde near Altona, brother Heinrich was a Chortitzer minister and brother David was Bishop of the Sommerfeld Gemeinde, Saskatchewan. Like two of his brothers-in-law, Edward became a teacher, teaching in the German language in the Christian private school in Chortitz, Manitoba. Later he owned the hotel and McCormick-Deering dealership in Niverville.
