| 359 | Last known address of 1974 Was Red Willow Alberta. 1926 Prairie Provinces Census, Canada Sullivan Lake, Acadia Page 19 Lines 38 - 41 James Easton, Male, Married, Head, Age 38, Birthplace Scotland, Immigration Yr:1910 Janet Easton, Female, Wife, Age 39, Birthplace Scotland Janet Easton, Female, Daughter, Age 8, Birthplace Alberta David A J Easton, Male, Son, Age 1, Birthplace Alberta I telephoned Dave at the above address and we had a lengthy chat, 2000 Continue to stay in touch with Dave & Mae Easton 2009 2010 - Mae passed away - funeral to be later when weather warmer Saw Dave at Castor 100 yr homecoming. We included photos from Parents and siblings, as well as Dave & Annie Wilkie, and Andy & Hazel Wilkie. Great homecoming - the long weekend was most enjoyable and great to see Castor 2011 - Dave called me to say the final court case involving his Son "Bussie" was finalized and Bussie was sentenced to 2 yr at Spy Hill Jail, Calgary. I know very few details of the accident but do remember hearing one of the accident victims had to have their leg amputated as a result of the injuries. No loss of life, but certainly life altering changes to some individuals. Feb 26, 2011 - Telephoned Dave - we chatted about many things but mainly about his Son Bussie in Spy Hill Jail. Apparently the appeal papers have been submitted, Bussie is using Legal Aide help from Calgary in addition to his lawyer in Red Deer. I asked Dave to review the accident - and he says his Son was driving the 'big truck' & 'trailor" unit - approaching 56th (Stettler), he checked traffic, saw one vehicle distance away and nothing in the other direction; when he came to the intersection, he did a 'rolling stop' and again felt he had time to cross. That wasn't the case. The van and the truck unit collided - resulting in serious injuries to people in the van. Dave is vehement there wasn't any alcholol involved. Court actions at the time resulted in the 'loss of Bussie's drivers license, thus he was unable to keep working, loss of income to him personally but he also helped his parents Dave & Mae with house payments as Bussie stayed with them when not on the road trucking. Bussie obviously required legal / lawyer help - so bills were mounting, ultimately resulting in the jail sentence. Dave at this time doesn't know if he will be able to maintain living in his home in Stettler as it is mortgaged - he only has his Old Age Pension and with Mae deceased, no income from her now either. A couple of nights prior to the truck incident, Bussie was driving a friend out to Gas Plant to drop off some keys, on the way back to Stettler, they hit a deer - severely damaged the car, but no injuries to the passengers. Pushed car onto driveway area but police kept phoning him to remove the vehicle from the road. Dave again intervened and arranged for a tow truck etc. 2018 - Dave Easton moved from Stettler to Castor - In Seniors Living Manor, Enjoying the company very much | Easton, David James (I169)

| 360 | Life History Dan was born March 17, 1916 on the home farm NE of Castor. He grew up with seven sisters and lived, worked on the same farm until he retired in 1981. In October of 1948, Dan married the most important person of his life, Dora Strome. This marriage was blessed with 3 daughters; Carolyn, Kay and Linda. His life was filled with honest, simple pleasures. Hard work like milking cows, stacking bales and working the fields came natural to Dan. He never complained about the life he chose. A coffee in town with neigbours was his reward at the end of the week In October of 1981, Dan and Dora moved off their beloved farm to a new life in Halkirk. There he enjoyed the chit-chat with good friends at the coffee shop. Dan and Dora together enjoyed many good years in halkirk His family get togethers meant the world to Dan. Family times usually meant family music. Dan was a strong, healthy man most of his life. He never spent a day in the hospital from the day he was married until 1990. Dan suffered alot of back pain and his eyesight greatly failed him in the last few yars. Then as his health got even worse, it was necessary to get additional help. Dan took up residence in the Coronation Nursing Home in July of 1993. On April 1, 1994 Dan got a chance to move closer home, and he came to the Castor Long Term Care Facility, where he resided until his passing on April 24, 1994.

| 373 | OBITUARY ANDREW WILKIE Suddenly on Friday June 18, 1976 ; Andrew Wilkie of Castor AB beloved husband of Hazel Weeks, dear father of David Allan of Kingston; Richard Andrew of Castor AB; and Mrs. Dennis (Heather Williams) of Calgary. Also survived by 7 grandchildren. Resting at the Funeral Residence of Gordon F. Tompkins, 49 Colborne St from Sat. evening. Service in the Chapel Sunday evening at 8 pm. The Ancient St Johns Lodge No. 3 will hold a service at 7 pm. Mr. Wilkie was a member of Beaver Lodge No. 56 of Castor. Service conducted from Knox United Church June 24, 1976. Source: The Castor Advance Death Registration: Andrew Wilkie, Male, Married Date of Death: June 18, 1976 Location: Tillsonburg, Ont Age; 74 years Reg # 1976-05-029861 Andrew (Andy) was an active member of the Masonic Lodge, holding many offices in that order. Dad worked in the coal mines in earlier years, but after being married worked for the CPR as a drayman. His job was to meet the daily train, remove the freight that was brought to Castor and deliver the goods to the various businesses. Then Mother would go on Wednesdays and collect the freight charges owing and turn this money into the CPR Station Master. This was quite time consuming, requiring much diplomacy as often receipts were there and not all the parcels had arrived; discrepancies in prices, totals. Often the CPR Station Master had a different Total figure than did the copies that were given to Mother, and it was an accounting nightmare. Common Sense did tend to prevail and Mom was always the one to remain calm in those situations. (which is why I think Dad turned the task over to her to do) Dad also worked full time for Esso bulk agencies, under Mr. Jim Lone. When Jim died suddenly, Jim's wife Sybil took over and Dad continued to work for her. Dad set up the tank cars from the railway to empty into the large bulk tanks that were located close to the CPR tracks, at the East end of the townsite. There was also a building which contained many large barrels of fuel, which was delivered to the farmers for their use. Dad always had control in the warehouse or bulk station, and Mrs Lone worked in a small building at the end of mainstreet, where she kept the books, ordering etc. It was not unusual for Dad and Mrs. Lone to have many different opinions. Dad always drove a 'company truck' a large tanker like truck to the various farmers places. Cause of Death: Coronary Heart Attack. Mom and Dad were holidaying in Tillsonburg, Ont. Had gone East for grand-daughters wedding. They were visiting Ola Beaman's place (a cousin of Mom's). Mom was aware that sometime during the night Dad had gotten up to go to the bathroom, but upon wakening in the morning, she didn't hear Dad breathing, and reached over; he was gone. Allan was called and Dad taken back to Kingston. Then Mollie and Mom returned to Edmonton, then Castor via train as a pilot strike was on with Air Canada, thus Dad was in the freight compartment of the train, while Mom and Mollie, exhausted came via passenger cars. Most unpleasant trip. Allan and his family drove out to Castor. Andrew Wilkie Story as told by Andy himself to Kay Morasch My father and mother,Mr. And Mrs. David Wilkie, my sister Nettie, and I left Scotland in 1911, arriving in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia where Father worked in the mines until May 1914 when we returned to Scotland to try to improve my sister's health. War started in August 1914 and we couldn't get back to Canada because Father was needed in the mines and had to stay. When he wasn't in the mines, he was coaling the warship at the Naval Base, one of the things that they had to do. In 1920 we came to Garden Plains, where Father's sister Mrs Jim Easton was living and where Uncle Jim was working in the mines there. We then moved to Castor where Father and I worked in the Remillard mine until Father had an accident in 1921 and we both gave up that line of work. I did odd jobs for awhile, then went to work for Imperial Oil, and stayed with that for thirty years. Father and Mother lived to have their 60th Wedding Anniversary. Nettie died in 1925. Mrs. Easton now lives in the Paintearth Lodge. Uncle Jim has passed on. After Father's accident, when we quit the mine, I worked for Mr. Pickles on the farm for two summers. In 1926, Hazel and I were married. She was working in Ramsden's store and I had spent one summer delivering groceries that was how we met. We have had a good life. The Hungry Thirties were not very pleasant but we managed to get over that. We have two good boys and a good girl. Allan, the oldest, joined the Air Force in 1950. He'll be due to retire in about two and a half years. Heather went through for R.N. and Richard, our youngest, is an electrician - got his papers a month ago. We are all very happy about that. ( Fact, Heather is the youngest) What wages did we earn in the mine? That is a hard question to answer because you were getting paid a certain amount a ton for mining it. But I worked on the farm for $30. A month at Bulwark, and worked that summer in town delivering groceries for $30. a month, just to have a job. It was a big lift when I started getting $90. A month, but that dropped considerably in the Dirthy Thirties. What mines were operating in your time? Well, there was Shaw's, Remillard's, Phillips', McCormick's and there was one West of the County Shop on that land of Nichols. They said that there was very good coal there, but I never worked there myself. And there was Jack Armstrong's and that one was across the Highlevel Bridge, over there by Fletcher's buildings that was operated by Alfred Mc Neil, who used to have the Boarding House in Castor. He was an elevator agent at Veldt too for awhile. I have a picture here. This is my Uncle Bill Scott, this is Omar Remillard, here's Edson Miller, Tim Miller's uncle. And of course the wee chap with the curly hair is me. This is Ray Trost, and this is my Dad, this is Mr. Jasper and this is my cousin Bob. And this one I am not sure of, but I believe it is Gus Wetter. Gus worked there. How could you see without electricity? We had carbide lamps. If you want to go into Ray Meyer's barber shope, he has one he will show you. You screw off the bottom and fill it half full of carbide, the rest water. Then turn the little lever at the top and the water starts to drop. And out comes air, just like gas. There is a flint on it - just like a cigarette lighter, and there's a flame that comes out of there. What were some of the dangers of working in a mine? Very few. I never saw a real accident until Dad had his. Cut and bruised fingers were common, just as in any other work. But in the explosion, Dad lost his eye, and the coal dust was embedded in his skin, that is, on his face and it was impossible to get it out. His skin pebbled over and never returned to normal, and his face looked dark. It was something that no one had ever before seen around here. How did the mines here compare with those in Scotland? No comparison. The mines here were, at the most, thirty or forty feet deep. Both mines used props. The props here were wooden, and approximately five foot. The mines that I worked in, in Scotland, were 250 fathoms straight down, and that is a six-foot fathom. When you reached the bottom, you went into work, then you would start to climb to the coal face that had all been worked out until you came to where they were digging out the coal. There was a long seam of coal where you worked, a man and a boy like myself would work every ten feet along. The coal was cut with a machine, during the night or in the afternoon. There would be a man down there who would bore a hole, pile it with dynamite, and blow that down. When the man and the boy would come in at six o'clock in the morning, they would clean all this coal out. It would go down the incline and go out to the bottom, as we called it. It would go out the shaft to the top. This incline was steep enough that the full coal cars going down would bring up the empties. And from there a pony would pull them up to the shaft. The ponies would get up to the top once a year and would be practically blind from having been down there for so long. When I started to work, it was in 1915-16 and there was no light except for the carbide lamps. When you worked on the mining crew, you were down in the hole for eight hours, and you didn't get out until your hours were up. You took your lunch with you in a tin can, for if you didn't you wouldn't have any, because the rats would have it all eaten. | Wilkie, Andrew (I33)

| 376 | Occupation: Farmer George Ley and Gwendolyn Burt Ley homesteaded NW34-34-Range 9 West of the 4th Meridian. George Ley arrived in 1908 amd lived in a sod shack until about 1924 when the house was built. Today (2003), the house is the only buildings left, but still looks the same, and still livable with power, water and sewer. Notes from Kevin Ley, England, another Ley researcher. States George Henry Ley was born in a very small rural place called Gare Hill, Marston, Somerset. HIs parents being Edwin Ley and Maria Sleman. There children (George's siblings) are: Emily Jane, William Henry, Edwin, Maria Elizabeth, Robert (Wesleys grandfather), Samuel, Lewis John (my gt grandfather), Mary, Rhoda May - a half-sister, Mary Ann, died an infant, Walter, died at birth, John, died at birth, plus two step-sisters Mary Elizabeth & Sarah Kate Anderson. Georges mother died in 1890 of cancer of the womb in Kilmington, Somerset at the young age of 48. She is buried at St Marys Church in Kilmington, (no headstone). George was born and raised in the area of Somerset just south of Frome, - the Witham, Marston, Kilmington area. These are small hamlets where woodman and clay workers lived. This area of Somerset on the boundary between Wiltshire and Somerset sits on a ridge and is heavily wooded and Georges Father Edwin was a woodman who used to cut trees there. After Georges Mother Maria died in 1890 the family splintered in three directions. The older grown-up children (George included) either went to Bournemouth in Hampshire on the south coast of England or in the case of Georges older brothers William Henry and Edwin they moved up North to Derbyshire working on the railways. In William Henrys case he had just got out of the army (He served in India) and was bought out of the army by the family. George Henry Ley, Emily Jane, Robert and Maria Elizabeth settled in Bournemouth. Emily and Maria married two brothers James Baker and George Francis Baker and each had many children. As you know Robert married Lucy Davis and had four children in total although only two survived to adulthood - Lucy Amelia and William Kenneth. George and Gwennie in fact had four children, Sydney Edwin George, Charles Henry (died at birth), Jennie and Julianna (Dorothy). Regarding Jennie I have searched the birth indexes and can state that Jennies birth was not registered in England (Syds and Charles were). I am told by Wesley that Jennie was born in 1908 and that ties up with the 1911 Canadian Census I have which shows 1908 as Jennies birth year (her age is given as 3 in 1911 census). | Ley, George Henry (I179)

In the 1890's, in order ot obtain postal service, families in the area along the 11 concession between lots 14 and 20 in South Norwich Twp. had to gather together to decide a name for their community. The name 'Rosehill' was chosen and applied for but another village by that name was already in existence. The name 'Rosanna' was offered and in 1896 a Post Office opened and mail arrived from Courtland twice weekly. In 1912 rural mail delivery started from nearby Tillsonburg. School debuted in Rosanna in 1865 and a new building was constructed in 1895 just east of the cemetery. In 1908. the Canadian Order of Foresters remodeled and took over the new school. The first church was erected in 1884 by the Evangelical Methodists. Soon after the local people gathered together to build a brick faced structure they called the Calvary Church. | Palen, Gordon Earl (I368)

It is uncertain if she didn't hear the train or forgot about it as the rapid transit was new and recent to Calgary. A good friend recalls that it was often that Vi would have insulin reactions in late afternoons, thus this may also have been a contributing factor to the accident.

Ray sprayed the newly planted trees in N. Ontario with spray to kill weeds and brush to let the new trees get a good start." Thomas was forced to drop out of high school late in his final year to take over the family's farm after his Father took sick. He took his flying lessons in London, Ont. He was able to take his first solo flight after just four hours with an instructor. Craven credits his instructor, a pilot trainer during the Second World War and later commanding officer of London's Reserve Squadron for teaching him all the right things. Ray obtained his private pilots license in 1947. Three years later, 1950 he obtained his commercial licence, and all the while, he contd working as a tobacco grower on what had now become his farm. For a few years he contd. farming and flying, doing mainly crop dusting jobs, but in time it became too much and his sister and brother -in-law started looking after the farming operations. His work experience was crop dusting, spraying against spruce budworms in NB, tobacco spraying, pea crop spraying and mosquito spraying in Moncton and Dorval Airport. Later he was involved in aerial seeding and fertilizing; crops such as wheat and ginseng. Source: Excerpt from The Tillsonburg News, Friday, October 22, 1999; page 3 | Craven, Thomas Ray (I423)
