    Nickname 'Jimmy"
    Jimmy immigrated to Canada in 1908.(per son Dave.)
    Jimmy and Janet Easton first settled in the Garden Plains area, where Jimmy had bought land for farming, as well as worked shifts in a coal mine there. (Bob Unsworth mine & Bradshaw Mines) The Coal mining area of Paintearth, Garden Plains, Tofield / Donalda area and Drumhellar Valley were all excellent sources of this fuel. Interesting enough, quite a different coal than the seams that were mined in Scotland that Grampa Dave Wilkie worked. Also of note, that when miners volunteered for War duty in WWI and WWII, at training camp, many were asked if there were any miners among them and when they (miners) stepped forward were promptly told that they were absolved of fighting a war, but must return to the mines - as the War effort required that fuel.

    After a few years there, they sold and moved to Castor, where Jimmy contd. to work for Remillard mines (coal) west of Castor. As his years advanced, Jimmy found odd jobs wherever he could and was never without work.

    He loved to chew snoose and he and Grampa Dave Wilkie, my father Andrew Wilkie would get together and recall Scotland with other Scottish residents in Castor, such as Haydens, Walkers. New Years was a particularly regular day of getting together to toast Auld Lang Syne. One individual would start out and then join another until they had visited each ones' home for a nip of cheer. These families friendship remained and were often enjoying one anothers hospitality via meals together, special holiday get togethers like Robbie Burns Day, birthdays, masonic lodge affairs, anniversaries, Christmas and New Years.

    Occupation:
    Coalminer,Hometead/farmer

    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

    Family/Spouse: Charlotte Mae( Unbewust) Homan. Charlotte was born on 18 Aug 1925 in , , Canada; died on 13 Feb 2010 in Stettler, Alberta, Canada; was buried in Castor Cemetery, Castor, Paintearth County, Alberta, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
