Saskatchewan Gen Web - One room School Project: Marcliffe School District #3355 SK, CA


Dear Valued Visitors,

Exciting news! The Saskatchewan One Room School House Project, a cherished resource on the Provincial Saskatchewan Gen Web, is making a move to a new domain. You can now find us at https://saskgenweb.ca/cansk/school. We're thrilled to announce that this labor of love will continue, and our webpages will be regularly updated at the new Domain.

Our commitment to documenting the rich history of one room school houses, cemetery and headstones, historical maps, and disappearing placenames remains unwavering. These records are invaluable for those tracing their genealogy or seeking historical insights into the past.

To support this endeavor, we've launched a Patreon community at https://www.patreon.com/SaskGenWeb. Your contribution enables us to maintain the new domain and web hosting, ensuring the continuity of this essential service for historians, genealogists, and the public.

Explore the revamped webpages at https://saskgenweb.ca/cansk/school and witness the ongoing journey of the Saskatchewan One Room School House Project. As we embark on this exciting chapter, we invite you to join our Patreon community, ensuring that this historical treasure trove thrives for years to come.

A heartfelt thank you to Ancestry.com and Rootsweb.com for their past support. Now, we're turning to you, our community, to help us sustain this vital Saskatchewan GenWeb service.

Warm regards,

Saskatchewan GenWeb Team of Volunteers

.....I recently acquired a group of old pictures from a distant relative. One of them was labeled as "My prairie pupils - Shaunavon". However, it appears to be a one-room country school and one of the pupils is holding a card bearing the name Marcliffe and the year 1920. I thought it might be of interest to your project.

.....The lady who presumably took the picture was Catherine "Cassie" Myles from Springfield, New Brunswick and she did teach for a short time in "the West" - I think also in Medicine Hat, as there are pictures from there as well. If anyone needs more particulars I can provide more details on Cassie's origins and later life, but nothing on her time in "the West".

.....I hope this is of some interest to you.

Sincerely,

John Elliott
