Notities over Evelyn Janette Hinz

To honor and express gratitude to their parents, Dr. Evelyn J. Hinz and Dr. John J. Teunissen have established the Hinz/Teunissen Memorial Scholarship, which is intended to encourage the graduate study of literature in English.

Evelyn's father, Andrew B. Hinz (1893 - 1963), was born in Ogden, Kansas, whence the family moved in 1908 to the newly-founded Catholic settlement of St. Peter's Colony in Muenster, Saskatchewan. After taking business courses in Winnipeg, Andrew established a homestead south of Muenster and began a long and successful career as a farmer. Evelyn's mother, Aloysia (1900- 1980), was born in Nenzel, Nebraska, the town named for her ancestors, from which the family also migrated to Saskatchewan in 1903. After a series of residences in various missionary settlements in B.C., the family finally settled in Muenster, where the father ran the first store and post-office in the village. Andrew and Louise married in 1919, and had sixteen children, of which Evelyn is the fourth youngest.

John W. Teunissen (1899-1954) was born in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, and was raised in Germany by a stepfather. On his eighteenth birthday, he joined the Dutch army, returning to Germany after the Armistice to complete his education. In 1924, on medical advice, he emigrated to Canada, and lived and worked in Calgary for the remainder of his life. He was active in the Church, as a member of the Holy Name Society and the Knights of Columbus, and was a strong union man. John's mother, Mary Foesier (1907- ) was born in Tilburg, the Netherlands, and emigrated to Canada in 1917. She remembers their ship being boarded by a German raider in the North Sea. The family farmed and ranched at Munson, Alberta, and Mary was at home both in the kitchen feeding large threshing crews and in the saddle riding the range with her three brothers or with the Foesier Brothers chuckwagon in the Calgary Stampede. A strong individualist and a feminist before the movement, she married John in 1932. They had two children, John and Helen (Mason).

Both the Hinz and Teunissen parents placed a great value on education, and thanks to their sacrifices and encouragement, Evelyn and John were able to attend St. Thomas More College, both obtaining the B.A and M.A. from the University of Saskatchewan.
