Source; Castor Advance Newspaper The Strome Family Story Michael and Mary Anne Strome and two of their sons, William and Milton, came to Alberta in the spring of 1905, by CNR, with a load of settlers' effects. They had a cow, a bull, a walking plough and their household furnishings. The CNR brought them by way of Camrose which was then the end of steel on that line. From there they drove to Daysland and on to Sedgewick, where they took homesteads. Two other sons, Edwin and Noah came out in 1904, looking for work. They were already located in the Sedgewick area. In 1907, the father, Michael, took sick with inflammatory rheumatism and died in June. He was buried on the homestead which is now a big wheat field. In 1914, William and Milton moved across the river to the Bulwark area where they bought a section of land from Tom Gorrell for $16,000. They farmed it in partnership until 1917, when Milton and Pearl Weeks were married. William took over the section himself, but he lost it in 1924. Noah had a hotel in Sedgewick that burned down, sohe started on in Alliance and built a house there too. He and his family lived there until 1918 when they sold eveything and went back to Berlin, Ontario,now known as Kitchener. He and his family of 9 still live there. Milton and I (Pearl) made our first home on the old Walter Pyle place in the Beaverdale district, North of Castor. Later we moved to a farm just West of Pilsworths in the Beaverdale district. Then Milton bought a half-section South of Castor, where we lived until retiring to live in town. Milton has passed on, but I am still living in my own home. We had fourteen children and most of them live in and near Castor. I enjoy my grandchildren- over 50 of them.
