Eva, the oldest child in the family, was born on January 29, 1908 at Souris, MB, where she started school. In March 1916 when the family moved to her uncle Dick Sharland's homestead 3 1/2 miles north of Axford, SK, she attended Carnarvon School where she completed Grade 8. She worked on the farm and sometimes did housework at neighbouring farmers' homes. In 1942 she and her brother Mark inherited the farm from their uncle Dick and actively farmed until 1989 when they rented out the land. Eva also raised chickens and turkeys and helped milk cows to increase the farm income while managing the household. She acted as mother to her youngest brother Edward's sons, Bob and Jim, who came to live on the farm at ages 6 and 5 respectively and who have fond memories of the chocolate birthday cakes and the apple and lemon pies she would whip up in the kitchen. Her main hobbies were crocheting numerous doilies, most of which she gave away to friends and neighbours, and listening to the radio particularly music or talk shows.

On Saturday, September 22, 2007, Mark Cockram, passed away at Hill Top Manor Personal Care Home, Weyburn, at the age of 95 years. Predeceased by his parents, Mark and Lavinia Cockram, brother, Edward (1982), sisters, Eva Cockram (2001) and Laura Hyer (2004), sister-in-law, Olive Cockram (2005) and brother-in-law, Dee Hyer (1976), Mark is survived by his brother, Tom Cockram of Yellow Grass, nephews, Bob (Jeannette) Cockram and Jim (Narelle) Cockram of Lone Butte, BC, great nephews, Seth and Jamin Cockram of Kelowna, BC, great niece, Emma Cockram of Lone Butte, BC and great great nephew, Jordan of Kelowna, BC. Mark was born October 16, 1911 at Souris, MB, the middle child in the family. In March 1916 when the family moved to his uncle Dick Sharland's homestead 3 1/2 miles north of Axford, SK, he attended Carnarvon School where he completed Grade 8. Although he worked mainly on the farm prior to 1942 he spent some winters working for other farmers looking after their cattle. In 1937 he worked on a haying crew for Walter Walsh near Pipestone, MB. Around this time he also worked at the Bienfait coal mine for a short time. Mark and his sister Eva farmed the land in the RM of Brokenshell that they inherited from their uncle Dick in 1942 and their father in 1948, as a mixed grain and cattle operation until 1976 when it became solely a grain operation. Mark continued to actively farm until 1991 when he rented out the land and sold the farm related equipment. His regret expressed at this time was that if he had been able to farm for another year he would have been farming for 50 years. Mark had a creative bent in the mechanical and fabrication end of farming aided by the knowledge he gained from a correspondence course in automotive engine repair he had taken in the late 1930s. Some of his fabricating achievements included an operational brush/grass cutter powered by a lawn mower engine long before this design became marketed by other manufacturers, a cab for his Oliver 99 tractor in the late 1950s when tractor cabs were regarded as a novel convenience, and a power take-off driven pile driver that was successfully used to embed discarded grader blades as pasture fence posts. Mark will always be remembered in the Trossachs- Khedive area as a generous man who would willingly help out any neighbour in need. During harvest time when he was finished combining he would often go to help neighbours get finished more quickly. One spring when a neighbour's tractor was awaiting repairs he loaned them his tractor to finish seeding. He truly valued the friendships he had with his farm neighbours, especially members his own generation and the later generation of the Virgil Bernard family. Mark acted as father to his youngest brother Edward's sons, Bob and Jim, who came to live on the farm at ages 6 and 5 respectively. He is fondly remembered by them for his patience when they were learning to drive using his 1951 Ford one-ton truck as a training aid. Amazingly its clutch survived all the abuse it received during this time. After he ceased active farming his main hobby was gardening especially growing potatoes most of which were often given to neighbours. He was proud to be a farmer and often said that the primary producers of wealth in this country were farmers. Mark regretfully left the farm and garden behind in February 1998 to move to Weyburn where he resided at Rhineland Tower until moving to Hill Top Manor in November 1999. Funeral service was held on Friday, October 5, at 2:00 p.m. from Hastings-Dionne Funeral Home, Weyburn, with Pastor Collette Baker officiating. Pallbearers were Doug Bernard, Vince Bernard, Merv Renz, Bill Wilkie, Bob Cockram and Jim Cockram. Interment followed in Hillcrest Cemetery, Weyburn. COLBOW - Annie (nee Wagner) Colbow, late of Radville, passed away September 22, 2012, at the age of 92 years. Annie was predeceased by her parents, Anthony and Barbara Wagner; husband, Lewis; daughter, Julienne (Shirley); grandson, Randy McQuiston; daughter-in-law, Madeleine Colbow; two sisters: Lena Holerback, Elizabeth Wagner; two brothers: Lawrence Wagner and Phillip Wagner. Annie is survived by her children: Gary Colbow, Yorkton, Doris (Bruce) Clements, Brandon, MB, Wayne (Carol) Colbow, Pangman, Dale Colbow, Khedive, Brian Colbow (Sherry Fisher), Pangman, Bill Colbow (Zella Littlemore), Khedive, Gregg Janz, Edmonton, AB, Raymond (Deanna) Colbow, Weyburn; two sisters-in-law: Irene Colbow, Pangman, Ida Gurskey, Ogema; 16 grandchildren: Jillian, Brent, Bob, Mark, Geoff, Graham, Bryce, Taralyn, Desmond, Robin, Dallas, James, Krystle, Barrie, Kallie and Dane; 25 great grandchildren; six great great grandchildren along with numerous nieces and nephews. Annie Wagner was born to Anthony and Barbara (nee Schneider) on February 18, 1920. She was born on the family farm which was four miles south of Pangman on Highway 6. She had a half brother Phillip, half sister Lena, one brother Lawrence and a sister Betty. Annie attended school at Khedive which was six miles away. In the summertime, she traveled to school by the school van, but they used horse and sleigh when there was snow on the ground. Annie loved school. If a storm blew up, as often as it did in Saskatchewan , she would cry all day, as it meant not being able to get to the school. Annie completed Grade 9 and started Grade 10. That year, the province changed the curriculum for high school. New books had to be purchased and since this was during the depression, Annie had to withdraw from school due to lack of funds. Annie always put others ahead of herself. Annie remained at home, keeping occupied with the many chores on the farm. One of her favorite times was threshing and it was only proper that she would meet and fall in love with the thresher, Lewis Colbow. They were married on November 24, 1944 and moved to a farm that they had purchased four miles north of highway Junction 6 and 13. On this farm they had no telephone or conveniences so after a year they moved to her brother, Lawrence�s farm which was one mile east of Pangman. Lewis and Annie had eight children, Gary, Doris, Wayne, Dale, Brian, Bill, Julienne (Shirley) and Raymond. Yes�that was eight children in 12 years. Her children remember her gathering fresh snow on Sunday and letting it melt overnight for doing the laundry on Monday morning! Getting the children off to school in Pangman meant that Lewis had to take them there every morning and pick them up every afternoon, so another move was made to Khedive in 1955. Lewis and Annie purchased the former Jacques house which solved the problem of getting the children to and from school. Instead of Lewis leaving them every morning at 8:00 a.m. the children could leave the house five minutes before school began. The Colbow family resided here until 1974 at which time a brand new mobile home was purchased and moved to the lot across the street. Moving to the new trailer was therefore one of the easiest moves the family had. While in Khedive, Annie joined the town council and acted as their secretary. When an administrator could not be located for the hamlet, Annie was persuaded to take the position. She remained in this position from 1974 to 1991. During this time she was instrumental, along with John Froh, in bringing running water to the homes in Khedive. Without fail, Annie cooked huge and delicious Sunday dinners, complete with assorted homemade pies, for anyone who was around her home�family, friends or neighbors who were nearby or those who simply stopped by for a visit. Another thing that she was noted for, was her popcorn balls at Halloween�it was said that people would drive miles and miles in hopes to get some! She knitted and crocheted baby items for each grandchild as well as various other projects she gave away as gifts. She was also an accomplished seamstress, sewing many different garments for both family and friends. She enjoyed watching various sports on television, never missing a Blue Jays� game. She herself, curled and bowled for many seasons locally in Khedive. Annie loved animals, especially cats and dogs, and had several as pets over the years. She very much enjoyed flower gardening, having blue morning glories, babies� breath, violets, tulips, peonies and especially yellow and pink roses in her beautiful yard. Together, Annie and Lewis enjoyed their vegetable garden and the many hours spent tending, canning and preserving the garden�s produce. From this garden, she made the very best sauerkraut in town! Lewis passed away in June 1995 about six months after celebrating their 50th Anniversary. Annie remained in Khedive until 1997 when she moved to Legion Towers in Weyburn. She was overjoyed to have her very own suite, filled with all brand new furnishings! In March of 1998, Annie moved to Radville Marian Health Centre and resided comfortably there, for 14 years until the time of her passing. During her time there she loved visiting, playing cards and bingo, attending church services and many of the various activities provided by the staff there. Many a family celebration was held there as well. Extra special moments for Annie were celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary as well as her 80th birthday at the Khedive Recreation Centre surrounded by many family and friends. She lived her life to the fullest! The family would like to thank all the caregivers who looked after her over the past years. Funeral Mass for Annie was held on Wednesday, September 26, at 2:00 p.m. from Holy Angels Roman Catholic Church, Pangman, with Fr. Anthony Pangan, celebrant. Interment followed at Khedive Cemetery. All of Annie�s remaining grandchildren and great grandchildren were considered honorary pallbearers. Active pallbearers were her grandsons, Bob McQuiston Geoff Clements, Bryce Colbow, Brent Colbow, James Colbow and Dane Colbow.

Passed away March 16, 2005 in Edmonton, AB at the age of 49 years. Julienne was predeceased by her father Lewis Colbow, nephew Randy McQuiston, father-in-law Lloyd Janz and mother-in-law Mary Janz. She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her husband Gregg Janz and her daughter Barrie Janz of Edmonton, AB, her mother, Annie Colbow of Radville, brothers, Gary (Madeline) Colbow of Yorkton, Wayne (Carol) Colbow of Pangman, Dale Colbow, Brian (Sherry Gartner) Colbow, Bill (Zella) Colbow, all of Khedive, and Ray (Deanna) Colbow of Weyburn; one sister Doris (Bruce) Clements of Brandon, MB, one brother-in-law Wayne (Leslie Sinclair) Janz of Winnipeg, MB as well as several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Julienne was the second youngest child of eight children born to Lewis and Annie Colbow. She was a fair complexioned, blonde haired little girl who spent her early years growing up in and around Khedive. She loved to help her mother around the house with various chores assigned to her and she even helped her father out on the farm by picking rocks out of the fields, an all time favorite of many "farm girls", from that era. Julienne had many fond memories of sitting around the family's large dining room table at mealtimes; the room being full of warmth, friendship, wonderful smells and the sounds of familiar family voices. She was active in various sports and developed many close friendships throughout these earlier years. Julienne received her elementary education in Khedive and Pangman. She went on to attend University of Regina, University of Saskatoon, and University of Alberta, becoming fluent in French as well as achieving her Bachelor of Education degree and then later completing a Masters degree in Psychology. She first met her husband and soul mate Gregg Janz when he was playing his flute in a stairwell, one day, when they were both attending university. Julienne always said this is how he seduced her, along with his many gifts to her and his marvelous cooking abilities. They went on to work on various different projects together as their relationship grew and prospered. When away from busy Edmonton life, Julienne could always find refuge in the simplicity and solitude of rural life, especially in Khedive. Here, she could feel a special connection with nature and mother earth, which was always apparent during her quiet retreats in the old school yard, where so many old childhood memories were formed. She spoke often of this place, saying quietly "I feel I have a direct line to God out at the school yardand I have had many discussions with Him, out there, at the various crossroads of my life." In September of last year Julienne felt the need to journey back to her Khedive home to spend time with her siblings and their families and also to spend time with her mother in Radville. She spent two glorious days looking at vintage family photos and reminiscing of days gone by. She had countless memories of her "second parents" Frank & Muriel Fellner and their daughter Pam. She recalled on several occasions that it was Frank Fellner who taught her how to dance the polka. This always brought a big warm smile to her face. It was shortly after this, her final visit to Khedive, that she penned the short story called "The Gift" - a true recollection of her very own mother's gifts of love to each and every one of all eight of her children. This past Christmas Julienne hosted a Christmas party along with her sister Doris in Brandon, MB. It was a lovely evening for all in attendance with great food and wonderful company. Santa and one of his elves even made an appearance at this family gathering, complete with a sack of gifts and goodies for all of the younger folk. This "Colbow Christmas" will no doubt be one of the most memorable in the years to come. Some of Julienne's pastimes and interests included reading, astrology, astronomy, music, Rieke and writing of both poetry and short stories. She, along with Gregg had a collection of movies and music that any retail video store could boast of. She enjoyed traveling as well - making a trip to Europe and Israel and even pedaling her bike some long distances on the West Coast of Canada and the United States. Animals, especially cats, played a significant role in Julienne's life. Many a furry feline were given homes over the years as a result of these special bonds. Julienne was a loving and caring individual who had a zest for life and kept a positive attitude no matter what may have been thrown in her path. She was always ready to forge ahead, focusing on her strengths and looking at the bright side of things in life. Julienne considered one the most important accomplishments in her life to have occurred on March 18, 1995, when daughter Barrie Jordon Janz was born. We are all certain that there will be a part of Julienne that will live on, in this very special young lady. Julienne was employed at Grant MacEwan College of Edmonton, AB for over 20 years. She held various positions over the years and formed strong, life long bonds and friendships with many of her colleagues there. She loved her work and found it extremely fulfilling to be in the helping profession. For now, we will draw this to a close and say farewell to our sister, our loved one, and our friend. Julienneset your soul free; fly away, off to the distance where you shall find true eternal peace and contentment. We give thanks to have known you, to have cared for you and to have loved you May we also give thanks to God, to be surrounded by the love of our family and friends Julienne you are the common bond which has brought us together, here today. Till we meet again - you will remain forever in our hearts. A memorial celebration of Julienne's life took place on Thursday, March 24, 2005 at the Khedive Recreation Center at 2:00 p.m., Rev. Teresa Burnett-Cole presiding. COOPER - Fred. On Sunday, June 16, 2002, Fred Cooper lost his life in a farm accident near Saskatoon. He was predeceased by son Larry, and parents Joe and Dorothy Cooper. Fred leaves to mourn his beloved wife Judy; three children: Garry, Chris and Sherry; grandchildren Joey Cooper, Krystal Vanderstelt, Nick and Michelle Hyde; mother and father-in-law Lloyd and Edyth Covert; sister Florence (Les) Norby, sister Muriel (Raymond) Wahl, brother Bob Cooper and sister-in-law Charlene (Marence) Pierce; numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, other extended family and friends. Fred was born February 19, 1947 in Weyburn. He was raised on the family farm south of Trossachs. He was a dreamer who worked hard and loved life. He worked many different jobs among which were a farm hand, in the mines at Thompson, MB or driving an 18 wheeler. His passion was the land, people and nature. He realized his dream near Grandora where he purchased a parcel of land. It was the simple things in life that brought him joy: a sunset, the early morning dew, fresh rain, birds singing and the list goes on. His greatest pride and joy was his family and friends. He never judged anyone and was a mentor for many. There were times when a stranger would happen by; be welcomed with open arms, given a hot meal and sometimes a place to sleep or a winter coat. This is one man who would literally give the shirt off his back to help. Fred always said "Celebrate my life and be happy, don't mourn my passing." Those of us who knew Fred have had our lives so enriched that we do mourn our loss of one so special and we do rejoice having had you in our lives. Thank you for being you. A memorial service was held at Asquith Baptist Church, Friday, June 21 at 2:00 p.m. with special friend, Pastor James Graham officiating. Interment to follow at a later date.

CRUMP - Carleton Lewis Crump, late of Weyburn, formerly of Trossachs, passed peacefully in his sleep into the arms of God on October 25, 2006 at the Pasqua Hospital, Regina. He was 90 years of age. The youngest of five children, Carl was born December 27, 1915 on the homestead of his parents, David and Chloe Crump, land still owned by him at the time of his death. His grandparents, parents, and two sisters moved from Ontario in 1906 to homestead near Axford in the new province of Saskatchewan. He attended school at Abbott through Grade 8, taking Grades 9 and 10 by correspondence. Recently he received a Family Century Farm Award from the province for the original homestead remaining in the family for 100 years. Always a kind and gentle man, Carl will be remembered by his neighbours and friends for his selfless willingness to help others, his dedication and generosity, and his love of practical jokes. As a young man he contracted polio while helping his sister's family in Chelan, an affliction that would affect him, but not hinder him, for the rest of his life. His parents were petitioners for establishment of Abbott School District, served on the Board of Trustees, and boarded a number of school teachers, among them his future wife, May Anderson. They were married on July 26, 1941 in Trossachs and after a honeymoon trip to Greenwater Lake and Chelan, they resided on the family farm and began their family of three children. After several years on the farm, the young family moved to Trossachs to take advantage of school opportunities, and both Carl and May became active in the community and in the United Church, and enjoyed square dancing for a number of years with the Trossachs Square Dance Club. In recent years, Carl and May enjoyed playing music together, and sharing their music playing with the Weyburn Merry Makers, playing old time music at nursing homes and for functions in the Weyburn area. Still active, but with failing health, they moved into Weyburn in 2003 to be closer to health care services and their music. Following the death of May in April of this year, Carl's health continued to decline, leading finally to congestive heart failure, the cause of his death. Late of Bison Manor, Weyburn, Carl was predeceased by May his wife of 64 years; his parents, David and Chloe Crump; sisters, Bertha Rogers, Gerty Dalgleish, and Agnes Glazer.

I was born on November 11, 1915 on Dad's homestead 12 miles NE of Malta, Montana in Philips County. I lived there till I was four years old in 1919. In 1919 we moved down six miles from Malta on 40 acres of irrigated land. We were 1/2 mile from Strator School. From as early as I can remember I never wanted to do anything but farm and drive or ride horses. In July 1923 we moved back to Saskatchewan when I was seven years old. We came in three wagons with eight horses and one wagon was a hay rack with a canvas cover over it. Dad, Mother and Uncle Horace drove the three wagons and we were about two weeks on the road. We got back here to Dad's original homestead about the 15th of July, 1923. He had come up early and put in the crop. The end of August, 1923, I started to Mundie School. In the fall of 1928 Dad was just ready to start cutting with two binders. Leonard Thompson was hired to drive one. Uncle R came up from California so I went on the binder for the whole crop. That was the last time we ever had a hired man. In the winter of 1928 and 1929 I was home. We had chores to do and wheat to haul with teams. I did some trapping; weasels and muskrats. I also caught three coyotes that winter. 1929 was dry with very poor crops. That fall the depression started, cattle, wheat and everything dropped so fast you couldn't keep track of it. In 1932 wheat got down to 22 cents that fall. I saw a good bunch of spring Hereford calves in the stock yard in Ogema that could have been bought for $5.00 a head but nobody had any money. The farming got poorer as nobody could afford to work the land right. Some people got government freight and moved north into the bush. The ones that stuck it out ended up the best off 20 years later. The young people didn't suffer that much. Nobody had any more than you did. We had school house card parties and dances with pick-up music. The men would put in 10 cents each for a pound of coffee and a gallon of gas for the light and the women would bring sandwiches. Most people on the farm had their milk, butter, eggs and meat. In 1935 I started going with Edith. I didn't spend much on courting. I hauled a lot of water for stock and in the fall of 1934 I went north to harvest and came home about $40.00 richer. The year 1937 was the daddy of them all. The grass or nothing got green until fall when we got some rain. That fall I went down to Malta and worked and made $50.00. In 1938 the drought started to break and I rented a half section that was the first year we farmed with a tractor. In the fall of 1937 we traded all but four horses for a Rumely tractor. In 1938 the crop was rusted but I had rented from the Loan Co., and they furnished Tratcher Wheat. I got about 600 bushel of wheat worth about 80 cents per bushel. That September of 1938 Edith and I got married. We furnished the house for $50.00 at a second hand store. In 1939 the depression was starting to let up a little. That fall World War II started and that took at the unemployed and put some money in circulation. In 1939 our first baby was born dead at birth. In 1940 we had a real good crop but it was only worth 53 cents for No. 1. The price was kept down to help the war effort and during the first half of the 1940's I got a little better tractor, a 15-30 McCormick and a 7' John Deere tiller. We milked some cows and shipped cream. Prices stayed low and times were tight. Eugene was born in 1942, George in 1944 and Jim in 1945. My wife, Edith Winnifred Martin, was born May 13, 1919 a twin daughter of John and Charolotte Martin, the postmaster in Amulet, Sask. Being of Scotch descent she and her twin sister Elsie were taught to do the Highland fling at a very early age. At the age of 12 her father passed away and her mother continued to run the post office. The girls learned to look after the house and help carry mail and help in the post office. They took their schooling in Amulet and in 1938 Edith married Austin David and became a farm wife. I sold out to George and Jim in 1980 and Edith and I have retired and have a home in Ogema. Dad enjoyed his retirement as he was always welcome to come to the farm and contribute in whatever way he could be he also had the freedom to not come if he didn't fee like it. Mom fell victim to Alzheimers and Dad took over the household duties one at a time as her condition dictated. He was finally giving her total care until 1996 when it became impossible for him to continue. She then lived in Souris Valley Extended Care Home until her death on November 11, 2002. Dad's health was getting worse by then and he moved to the Personal Care Home in Bengough, where he lived until his passing on November 28, 2004. DAVID - Edith Winnifred (nee Martin). Monday, November 11, 2002, Edith Winifred David, late of Weyburn, and formerly of Ogema, passed away at Souris Valley Extended Care Centre, at the age of 83 years. Predeceased by her parents, John and Charlotte Martin; an infant son, Walter John David; three sisters and one brother; and an infant granddaughter, Charlotte. Edith will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 64 years, Austin David of Ogema; three sons: Eugene (Sharon) David of Westbank, BC; George David of Ogema; and Jim (Lilias) David of Ogema; seven grandchildren and eight great grandchildren; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Edith grew up in Amulet where she received her education. Her father passed away when she was just a child and her mother ran the post office so there was always plenty of work for Edith and her sisters to do. On September 29, 1938 Edith married Austin David and they lived in the Amulet District their entire lives until illness forced her to spend her final years in SVECC. Edith was a homemaker and she spent many hours knitting first for her own children and then for her grandchildren. Edith enjoyed having all her family around when she was able to cook her special meals. Her happiest times were when she was surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Edith was a member of the Sunny South Homemakers, Amulet Community Club and the Rebekah Lodge. In 1979 a reunion was held for all the present and former residents of the Amulet District and Edith spent many hours helping to organize this event. Funeral service was held Thursday, November 14 at 3:00 p.m. from Ogema United Church, Ogema, with Rev. Robin Osborne officiating. Interment followed in Amulet Cemetery, Amulet. All those in attendance were considered to be honorary pallbearers. The active pallbearers were: Michele Etter, Angela Murray, Gena David, Wade David, Dennis David and Jonathan David.

He attended the local country school for eight years. He left school during WWI to assist his father on the farm as there was little farm help available with all the young men away at war. Following their marriage in 1929, he and Pearl farmed a half mile from his parents' farm, NE of Pangman. He was a hard working man who was always open to new farming ideas. He was an excellent cattleman and for many years had a herd of Hereford cattle. For several years during the 1950's and 60's he raised laying hens and did weekly egg deliveries to customers in Regina.

After his second marriage in the early 80's he purchased a home on McAra Street where he was able to return to his love of gardening. The large back yard was converted into garden space full of vegetables, especially tomatoes. He was famous among his family and friends for the variety and number of tomato seedlings he began each year. It was common for him to have 500 little seedlings under "grow-lights" in his basement, each labeled by variety. Anyone who wished could get a dozen, or three or four, of these study young plants.

Phrases that Elsie often used to describe the "true Gordon" were: "a well matched team decked out with fancy harness and collar tops, a contented herd, a clean summerfallow field, a completed harvest, and a place for everything and everything in its place".

Clara is survived by her husband Fred Farr, Bengough; her children: Roger Farr, Ogema, Howard Farr (Jackie), Chauvin, AB and Nancy (Myles) Schaefer, Regina; nine grandchildren: Ken (Shelley) Farr, Barbara (Terrence) Beckett, Jacki Farr, Curtis Farr, Alannah, T.J. and Gabrial Farr, Makenzie and Morgan Schaefer; five great grandchildren: Dustin and Danielle Farr, Alex and Margo Beitel and Heather Beckett; two sisters-in-law: Elsie Fournier, Moose Jaw and Margret Farr, Iowa Park, Texas as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Clara was born on a farm north of Lake Alma on October 9,1920, the youngest of ten children born to Caroline (Boen) and William Thompson. Caroline passed away when Clara was only two years, two months old leaving Clara to be raised by her father and older siblings. She spent much of her childhood living in different homes of her married brothers and sisters. Clara recalled that as a child, she would ride behind her sisters Carol or Loretta on the horse going to visit neighbors. She would alternate between sitting and standing on the rump of the horse as the neighbors seemed so far away. Clara used to get sent along with her brother Lloyd to fetch the cows on his pinto pony. Lloyd would take a long time unless Clara was along as he badly needed glasses and couldn't see the cows. Clara's brother Ed and his wife Ruth farmed the Thompson homestead for their father. While living on the homestead, Clara and Lloyd went to the Soda Lake School. A couple years later, Clara went to live with her siblings' families in the Ritchie area where she also attended school. While living with Agnes and Nub, Clara was given some clothes for her to wear to her new school, the Alberts Springs School. Sister Hazel sewed two dresses, Agnes gave her socks and underwear, Ed gave her a cap and coat, and Howard gave her a pair of overshoes. Ruth gave her an old doll made out of a stocking. Clara thought she had the world by the tail! Clara was always grateful for the little things she received in her life. Lloyd and Clara also had a real nice ranch of their own. It was made from the empty corn flakes boxes they had cut up for their toys. Clara then moved with Howard and Hazel to a farm near Amulet. In 1929 Clara went to live with Carol and Duke in the USA where she attended the old country school in that area. She also lived with Remina and Horatio. During summer holidays and weekends she herded sheep. There was always work to be done on the farm. Clara walked everywhere she went until a kind man who kept cows in Duke's pasture gave her a horse called Stubby. Clara really loved Stubby but he was traded for a white mule while she was away at school one day. Clara was heartbroken but she was getting used to losing things that meant a lot to her. She learned young that you just had to accept the bad with the good and keep on pluggin'. In 1934 news came that her father had passed away. She was only 13 then and had not seen him since she left Canada in 1929. Hard times and lack of transportation made it impossible to get up to the funeral in time but Clara and her sister Carol came later. Clara then lived with Dick and Alice and moved with them to Manitoba. After a time she moved back to the Ogema and Ritchie area where she worked at various jobs. She was working in the caf� when she met Fred Farr. They were married September 9, 1940. They lived on the farm two miles east of Ogema until the mid 90's when Fred's poor health had them move to the villa in Ogema, then into their own house in town. In June of this year Clara moved into the Bengough Health Center where Fred was already living. Clara was a very busy lady doing whatever work had to be done. She worked as a store clerk, painted houses, decorated cakes and did house cleaning to earn some extra money. Clara also worked hard around the farm, driving the grain truck, doing chores and then rushing into the house to get a meal on the go. Somewhere in there she managed to become a damn good skip; take in a lot of curling bonspiels throughout Saskatchewan; play ball with the Big Butte Wheat Queens and raise four children; Tom, Roger, Howard and Nancy. Clara was a member of the Sunny South Society and the Birthday Club. Surprisingly she still had spare time in which she liked to do some sewing, quilting, crocheting as well as gardening and canning. When she was sick she would claim to have been "born tired." She was just catching up on some long overdue rest! Clara was never happier than when she had her large extended family around, laughing and playing cards. In 1964, they hosted the first Thompson Reunion on the Farr farm and it still continues on today in different locations each time. Clara's life was not an easy one but she was never one to complain. When there was work to do she would just get at it. She embodied the spirit of good sportsmanship; preferring to lose a close game than win by a mile. As her health deteriorated she gave up many of her passions with the exception of playing cards. She became a big Blue Jays fan and it was a wasted phone call if they were playing when you called. Clara was a very kind, generous and giving person, willing to help anyone out any way she could. She was never judgmental, and always forgiving. She had a great sense of humor, which helped her a great deal when her health started to fade. She loved her family immensely and showered them with the kind of love that she felt she had missed from her mother and did not want her children to miss out on. Clara lived by the philosophy that "It's not what you have in life that counts; it's what you give that makes life worthwhile." And she gave it her all!!! She will remain forever in our hearts. A Service of Remembrance was held on Wednesday November 16, at 2:00 p.m. from the Ogema Legion Hall, Ogema with Rev. Teresa Burnett-Cole officiating. A private family burial will take place at a later date. All who attended the Memorial Service for Clara were considered honorary pallbearers. FARR - Fred Earl Farr, 89, of Ogema, passed away on on January 15, 2006 at the Bengough Health Centre. Fred was predeceased by his parents, Earl and Annie Farr; his wife of 65 years, Clara, in November, 2005; his son, Thomas Farr; brothers: Roy, Wesley and Albert Farr. He is survived by his children: Roger Farr, Ogema, Howard Farr (Jackie) Chauvin, AB and Nancy (Myles) Schaefer, Regina; nine grandchildren: Ken (Shelley) Farr, Barbara (Terrence) Beckett, Jacki Farr, Curtis Farr, Alannah, T.J. and Gabrial Farr, Makenzie and Morgan Schaefer; five great grandchildren: Dustin and Danielle Farr, Alex and Margo Beitel and Heather Beckett; his sister, Elsie Fournier, Moose Jaw; a sister-in-law, Margret Farr, Iowa Park, Texas; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Fred was born June 20, 1916 at the homestead east of Ogema in a 10x12 foot, tar roof shack. He was the second child of five. Fred, after his retirement, restored the shack to how he remembered it when he was young. Fred loved horses and dogs, always having a dog until they moved into Ogema. Fred was also quite a bronc rider and taught his horse to do tricks. Farming was in Fred's blood and he bought his own farm in 1938. On September 9, 1940, he married Clarabell Thompson of Lake Alma. They were married for 65 years and coincidentally, Fred passed on 65 days after Clara's passing. Fred worked hard at hauling coal with a team of horses and then hauling just about anything for anybody once he bought himself a truck. Moving buildings was his next employment and he bought an outfit from Winnie Souther. He moved buildings for 32 years. After retiring from that, Fred joked he had 30 years of neglect on the farm to clean up. Fred played fiddle and guitar in a band at community dances for several years. Music was an important part of his life and his love of it was passed on to his four children. Fred was always very proud of his family. He found a lot of enjoyment with his grandchildren. Fred was a hard working, honest man who's word was his bond. When faced with a problem he would step back and roll one of his infamous funnel shaped cigarettes and assess the situation or pull out his pack of smokes to draw a diagram on the package. He was very methodical in his planning. After his retirement, he enjoyed tinkering in his garage restoring antiques and whistling to old time dance music. He loved the farm and was very saddened to have to move into town when his health failed. Although our old cowboy will be sadly missed, we are comforted knowing he is at home with family and friends that passed on before him and his pain and suffering is no more. Many, many thanks to Dr.Wong and the staff at the BHC for the wonderful care, given to Dad over the past five years plus. We appreciate the patience, the good-natured teasing, and the affection shown to Dad and although he did not always show it, we know he appreciated it too! A Service of Remembrance was held on Thursday, January 19 at 2:00 p.m. from the Ogema Legion Hall, with Rev. Teresa Burnett-Cole Officiating. All in attendance were considered Honorary Pallbearers. A private family burial will be held at a later date. FARR - Thomas Laverne Farr of Saskatoon passed away at St. Paul's Hospital on May 4, 2000.

One of his greatest achievements was being chosen out of the top ten auto body men in Calgary to paint a Rolls Royce the Queen rode in while visiting Calgary. Tom was always very active even though his diabetes took the sight of his right eye. His pride and joy was his canary yellow Corvette and speedboat. Treasure hunting with his metal detector and flea marketing were other passions of Tom's. Elvis had a lasting effect on Tom; he was a life long fan. Tom played bass for the Varitones in his earlier years and music continued to be an important part of his life. Tom's last years were spent living in the Sherbrooke Community Centre in Saska-toon, when a stroke restricted his ability to communicate and get around. He found great joy in his visits with his two-year-old niece Makenzie, watching her grow. Tom loved to have company and still managed to keep his sense of humor throughout his ordeal of failing health.

She traveled to Toronto as a young woman and she and Alf went to Hawaii in 1976 and made many trips to Ontario. She was a sharp dresser and loved shopping.

After his death, Eloise spent a lot of time under the mentoring of her brother Henry, and sisters Elsie and Nel. She always felt very close to these three siblings and their families. Upon finishing school, Eloise attended Normal School in 1937-1938 where she received her interim teaching certificate. In the following years, Eloise attended summer school during the holidays, and took University courses by correspondence to obtain her permanent teaching certificate. Eloise taught at two rural schools: Emerald Hill and Weardale. In January of 1942, Eloise moved to Khedive to teach elementary school. In December of 1943, she married John Froh and started housekeeping and lived as a farmer's wife. They had four sons together. Eloise did some sub-teaching after she married, but never took up teaching permanently. Eloise always had a large garden and loved her flowers. She was a great cook! All of her boys and her grandchildren have their recipe favorites of hers. While her boys were growing up, Eloise was active in the community through school boards, hospital boards and UCW. She loved reading, listening to old time music and quilting with the Khedive ladies. In latter years, she slowly lost her vision due to macular degeneration. In 2007 she moved from her home where she had lived for over 50 years to Weyburn. Eloise was a woman of very strong character and strength. She beat cancer not only once, but twice and fought her loss of vision. Eloise always carried on with determination; never complaining or feeling sorry for herself. At her request there was no funeral service. A gathering to celebrate her life was held on Saturday, January 9 at the Khedive Rec. Centre. FROH - John Max Froh passed away peacefully on May 1, 2002 at the Radville Marion Home at the age of 84. He will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 58 years, Eloise. John is survived by his brother, Joe (Olga) Froh of Regina; sister, Lena Vogeli of Wetaskiwin, AB; sons: Garth (Carol) Froh of Weyburn; Les (Brenda) Froh of Khedive; Bruce (Beverly) Froh of Deboldt, AB; daughter-in-law, Margaret Froh of Khedive; two sisters-in-law, Evelyn Froh of Khedive and Grace Charlton of Milestone; grandchildren: Haley (Lynlee), Todd, Jonathan, Nancy, Tia (Mike), Dallas (Jamie), Tanya (Joel), Ian, Tye, Chance; and many special nieces, nephews and close friends. John was predeceased by his parents: Peter and Anna Froh; brothers Nick and Peter Froh and two infant siblings; sister-in-law, Mary Froh; brother-in-law, Belton Vogeli and one son, Bob Froh (1994). John will be remembered first and foremost as a very caring father, husband and grandpa and friend. He would do anything to help anyone out, whether it was working in the field, helping his grandsons with their welding or fixing just about anything. He will also be well remembered for his many inventions such as the "Sickle Master," steam genny, post press and of course the "tree trimmer." John was born the second child of Peter and Anna Froh on September 7, 1917. He was raised in Khedive and continued to live there all of his life. On December 22, 1943 he married Eloise Charlton. They lived on the Froh homestead until 1946 when they moved to their current home in the town of Khedive. Together they raised four sons: Robert John (1945), Garth Leroy (1946), Leslie Graham (1952) and Arthur Bruce (1953). As we have all seen, John's passion for farming, cattle, horses, machinery and good friends has been passed on to each of his boys. John worked many jobs over the years. After farming with his dad he worked as a crusher operator for Traves Construction and owned the Oliver Agency in Khedive. He custom combined in the 1940's and 60's. When power came to the Khedive area, John wired the surrounding villages and farms. He had the first welder in the area and did welding for many of his neighbors. In the late 1950's John started "Prairie Stock Farm - Polled Hereford," which he continued to build along with his sons. Eventually, he developed another business known as "Prairie Sickle and Machine." His involvement in the community included hauling lumber for the Khedive Curling Rink and serving on the town council, R.M. of Norton and school board. John enjoyed many hobbies which kept him busy (and out of trouble) during his retirement years. Some of these hobbies included: fishing, (especially ice fishing), hunting, reading western novels and inventing. He loved the sport of curling. In his younger years he enjoyed playing the sport, but was never too keen on the sweeping part of it. He and Eloise enjoyed watching the many curling events on TV. Of course, to fully enjoy these television programs, they needed to watch them together, as Eloise can't see and John was hard of hearing. In his retirement, John grew to love the sport of golfing. He even set up a special practice area in his back yard. Every Sunday, John would pack up his clubs and head to the Radville course. He also participated in many of the tournaments in the area, and even ended up with a few trophies and prizes. John was one who took great pride in his family. At family gatherings and at his shop, he always kept his family and friends entertained with his stories of past excursions. John's 'booming' voice, stubbornness, smile and big heart will be dearly missed by all who knew him well. A graveside service was held Saturday, May 4, at 2:00 p.m. at Khedive Cemetery, Khedive, with Gary W. Goran officiating minister. All those in attendance were considered honorary pallbearers.

Her family moved to town when Dona became old enough to go to school. Dona liked sports, especially baseball and played on Ogema High School and Big Butte teams. Dona was always very fond of animals especially horses. After Dona finished her grade 12, she worked in the Weyburn Book Store for a short time and then at the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool starting in 1962. While in Regina, her fun recreation was bowling and one year Dona won the ladies Provincial Bowling Championship. During her bowling years she became a bowling instructor for young people. Dona often remarked and got a great kick out of presenting Warren Hall and Yvonne Kazell, who were 5 or 6 years old, with furry little skunks mounted on little stands and how proud they were of their trophies. Dona married Allen Harrison in 1980 and moved to the Harrison farm in the Fairlight District. Dona took an active part in the United Church, helping with teas, fowl suppers, etc. However, Allen passed away in 1983. Dona remained on the farm a couple of years, and worked in a caf� in Wawota. Dona always wanted to go north to work, so in 1992 she moved to Inuvik in the Northwest Territories. Nights were very long in winter and you were shut off from the rest of the world, so she stayed only one year. She then found work in Drumheller, AB for a few years. Dona returned home and moved to Weyburn, where she took up residence in Bison Manor. She worked for Linda Hall at Lock Master Security doing accounting from 1997 to 2004 when Lock Master closed. Dona made many trips to Regina driving friends and residents in Bison Manor for doctor's appointments. Dona was president for the tenants' association which involved organizing fund raisers, exercise classes, renting movies for movie night, birthday club celebrations once a month, entertainment and speakers on topics concerning senior citizens, etc. Dona was a strong willed person, determined, passionate, had a hearty laugh, liked to joke and tease. She devoted her life to looking after the people in Bison Manor and tried to keep things running smooth. Now those who mourn will always have precious memories of the days when she was with us.

Leanna Jean Hudson was born June 23, 1988. Maybe Ian, Beth and Chad were her immediate family, but all of us quickly laid our claim on her. She was the baby sister to Chad and Eric, granddaughter to Morley and Alma Hudson, the long awaited first granddaughter to Floyd and Georgie Webb, and first niece and girl cousin on the Webb side. Since the moment of her birth she brought beauty, laughter, astonishment, pride and most of all sunshine to her family. She was everything you could dream for in a daughter, grandchild, niece, cousin and friend. She was our Princess Leanna. Leanna was baptized and attended Sunday School in the Ogema United Church. As a toddler she began "walking" on her skates and started the Can Skate Program. When she was four, she added more activities to her schedule by attending the Children's MYC Music Program in Weyburn each week, started dancing with the Ogema Dance Club, started playschool and playing T-Ball. Ogema School became an important part of her life right from kindergarten. She began wearing an Ogema hockey jersey when she was six and played with the boys' team until she consented to experiencing female hockey with the Prairie Thunder team. This year she played with the Weyburn Encana Drillers. She was very proud that she was the first female hockey player from Ogema selected to play with the Zone 3 team in the provincial tournament twice. Leanna's schedule was filled with church and hockey camps, fastball, Rural Youth Leadership Training, S.R.C., school choir, school sports, track and field, swimming and life guarding. She loved to sing and especially enjoyed her roles in the school musical drama productions. It has been a blessing watching her grow and develop into the strong and fiercely independent individual that she had become. Many times it had been said that she was mature beyond her years. Watching her grow was not a passive activity. At times we were sitting on the edge of our seats biting our nails in anticipation of what she was going to do next. We all grew along with her. You couldn't help it, her enthusiasm was contagious and her energy endless. She encouraged everyone to do and be better. She was our Ogema cheerleader. She lead by example as she filled her life with purpose, pumping all that she had into what she was doing. She did this regardless if she was good at it or not. It was always the effort that counted. Everywhere she went, she set her world on fire. Mostly her world was Ogema, but even in her short 16 years she had touched many surrounding communities. She loved her world and was a great ambassador. Lots of us wait until we are all grown up to make a difference in the world. Leanna did not waste such time, she chose Ogema and now. She lived life like there was no time to spare. The funeral service was held on Thursday, April 7 at 2:00 p.m. at Ogema School with Rev. Teresa Burnett-Cole officiating.

Edith met Louis Jesse through mail correspondence and they were married in Winnipeg on April 30, 1943. They returned to the Amulet area to begin farming. Edith loved to travel, but the farming lifestyle had its limitations. She could always prepare a meal from leftovers. The family enjoyed a full course meal on Sundays, Christmas and other special occasions. The family always enjoyed these special times and loved her cooking. She worked hard on the farm alongside Louis, tending to the livestock and helping during harvest to bring in the crops. Edith was a long term member of the Amulet Women's Guild where she completed beautiful embroidery and quilts. She would always attend the school picnics with her sons. Gardening and making preserves each year took much of her time until the purchase of their first deep freeze. She was often milking cows morning and night, cream separating and cleaning. The onset of arthritis and later diabetes was very hard on her, although she tried not to show it. She frequently would joke and kid around, even though she had to deal with the pain. Edith had a great love for animals, above all her special farm dogs. She resided in the Deep South Personal Care Home for the past year and a half.

By the time he reached his early 20�s, he and his brother, Harvey, ran the farming operation together on their own. Being raised during the dirty 30�s, made him very resourceful. There was a use for everything and success in doing everything well. Alex married his beautiful, young bride, Tillie, on June 18th, 1952. They were blessed with a daughter, Diane, who was born in 1953. In 1974 Alex and Tillie moved into town and in 1986 Alex fulfilled a lifelong dream to live in the beautiful mountains of B.C.

They were able to do so for over 35 years and only last winter did he have to experience snow one last time. Alex belonged to the "pool league" in Good Life park and he enjoyed many hours with his buddies. Playing a good game of cards, or happy hours on the patios brought him pleasure, but his greatest pleasure in life came from watching his beautiful grandchildren grow. He was so proud of each one of them and he took great delight in hearing what new accomplishments or adventures they had to share with him. In 2002 Alex and Tillie made their last move to High River, AB. to be close to the family and it was here that Alex spent his last days. "You fought a brave fight, your battle is done".

With her family she moved to Carpio, N.D., Yellow Grass, then Ogema and finally, in 1919 to the farm outside of Glasnevin, where Caroline made her home until her passing. Caroline was a hard working pioneer with a farmer's heart. She loved working with cattle and horses and, for as long as she was able, raised an abundance of chickens, turkeys, geese and ducks. Gardening was a personal passion and many a neighbor received the abundant fruits of her labor. Caroline homesteaded for a brief period in the Peace River Valley district of BC in the early 30's. When she returned to Glasnevin, it was to support her parents, Jake and Edith, and particularly, her brother John, in the running of the original family farm. Having never married, Caroline made her community her family. She was an avid and life-long member of the Glasnevin Homemakers, as well as the Rebekah Lodge. Never did you leave the Nurnbergers without a mouth-watering lunch or meal. Coffee and visiting were high priorities and Caroline entertained her company with vast portions of local history (complete with dates) that she had committed to memory. Caroline was a strong-willed woman with a determination equaled by few. Even when her health began to fail, in the mid '90's, Caroline continued to "visit" with homecare workers over chocolates and grape pop. She was a special friend, neighbor and auntie until the end. Caroline was the last living member of her original family, having been predeceased by her father John Jacob, her mother Edith, her sisters: Dora, Margaret and Gladys and her brothers, Henry and John, and her niece Edith (Hugh) Williams of St. Brieux, also died in July 1999.

He is survived by two sisters: Anna (Chester) Grainger and Minnie Johnson, both of Ogema. Also numerous nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. August was born November 25, 1914 on S.W. 18-7-21 W2. This was locally known as "Swede Town" because of all the Swedish immigrants living in such a close proximity. As a child he moved with his parents and sister Anna, to their new homestead on the N.W. 36-6-22 W2. This is where the rest of the family were born and raised. He attended Lyons School, which was one mile, as the crow flies, from the farm. After his father's passing in 1948, August lived with his mother on the homestead and in 1961 they moved into Ogema. After his mother passed away in 1974 August continued to live in Ogema and farmed from town. On June 12, 1998 he moved into the Deep South Personal Care Home in Pangman where he was lovingly cared for by the staff. August spent his whole life working the land he loved. He would drive out to the farm every day and either be working in the field or tinkering in the yard on machinery or a motor. There was very little he couldn't fix himself and he enjoyed electrical and mechanical gadgets, his patience was endless. His next love, besides farming, was his music. He loved to listen to music and play along with his violin. August played the violin at many functions in and around Ogema and at the Care Home to the delight of the residents. He also took on many plumbing jobs in Ogema when he wasn't busy at the farm. When August could no longer do all the farming he would enjoy driving to the farm to see what his nephew and great nephew were up to and do a little tinkering. He was always up to date on what was going on out there. He loved his coffee, so on his way back and forth to the farm he would stop in at neighbors to visit and enjoy a cup. Everyone, who knew August, knows he was a quiet man but a good listener. He was never a complainer or demanding of others. He liked a simple life. As we remember him the first thing that comes to mind was his favorite saying, "Yah, You Betcha". Funeral service was held Saturday, June 7, at 2:00 p.m. from the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, Ogema, with Neil Palmer officiating. Interment followed in Ogema Cemetery.

OTTERMAN - Elizabeth "Liz" (nee Howe) McCabe Otterman. On Thursday, January 10, 2008, Elizabeth Otterman passed away at the Bengough Health Centre, Bengough, at the age of 90 years. Liz was predeceased by her parents, Issac and Camelia Howe; her husband, Henry Otterman; brothers: Leonard, George, Bill and Ed Howe; and daughter-in-law, Linda McCabe. Liz will be lovingly remembered by her two sons, Herb McCabe and his two children, Troy (Kassi Myren) McCabe and Tania (Bernard) Novak; and Merv (Bev) McCabe and their three children: Kathy (Kevin) Eden, Shawna (Troy) Verboom and Michelle (Brian) Meston, five grandchildren and ten great grandchildren; one sister, Evelyn (Dave) Gerrans; as well as numerous relatives and friends. Elizabeth Howe was born October 23, 1917 to Isaac and Camelia Howe. She was the 4th of six children. She had four brothers: Leonard, George, Bill and Ed and one sister, Evelyn. She grew up on the family farm southwest of Dahinda, walking about a mile and a half to the Adell School each day with her siblings. Times were hard growing up, and Liz recalled gathering weed seeds from the threshing machine to burn in the heater in the winter. Growing up, Liz took part in sport, attended community dances and helped her mother with household chores and taking care of the family. She and Ev would take turns putting cow chips in the stove to keep it hot while their mother baked. She must have been a good teacher because Liz became a good cook herself. When she finished her schooling, Liz went out to work for neighbors. Music and dancing were something she loved all her life, she even played the harmonica. In 1939 she married George McCabe. While living on the Bow farm in the Adell district, they had two sons, Herb in 1942 and Merv in 1945. Two years later, they moved to Ogema where they ran the cafe for a year, and in 1948 settled on a farm in the Dummer area. She was a dedicated farm wife, looking after the boys, hauling all the grain each year. She also worked at the Dummer store and belonged to the Dummer Ladies Community Club. When she wasn't working outside, Liz loved to cook and bake for her family and was always busy canning fruits and vegetables from her garden and stocking her deep freeze with pies, cookies, pastries and all kinds of goodies. Her grandchildren also enjoyed that well stocked freezer full of tasty treats. When Liz wasn't busy working, she loved to play cards, socialize with friends, go to dances and had many hobbies like knitting, crocheting, cross stitch embroidery and sewing. One of her favorite pastimes was curling and she participated in league curling and many bonspiels throughout her life, with a case full of trophies to show for it. After raising her boys, Liz left the farm in Dummer, and was eventually remarried to Henry Otterman in 1967. They farmed in Dahinda until 1974 when Henry's brother Bill passed away and they moved to the Otterman homestead south of Glasnevin. There, they continued to farm and to raise cattle, horses and chickens. Along with farm work, Liz also worked in Bengough at Ridell's Store. She loved to be out and about and around people as much as she could. She loved to entertain, and always had a pot of coffee on for company, along with a plate full of baking. She and Henry traveled to England in the early 70's where she was able to meet her extended family for the first time, and in 1981 they traveled to the Phillipines, Hawaii and Hong Kong. Liz was known for her quick wit, her one-liners and her tendency to be stubborn, and as a grandmother, she was fun and playful. Even her great grandchildren enjoyed having her get down on the floor and play with them. Liz and Henry moved into Ogema in 1984, and eventually retired from farming. Aside from her family, her greatest pleasure was her yard, she took such pride in her perfectly manicured lawn, garden and flowers. She had one of the biggest corner lots in town and in her 80's, she was determined to maintain it herself. She took great pride in winning several awards for the best yard in town. Liz continued to curl well into her retirement and also discovered bowling, participating in three leagues, ladies, mixed and golden age, along with shuffleboard. She was very proud of her collection of trophies for all her participation in sports over the years. She entered the Bengough Health Centre in 2004 when her memory began to fade and her health concerns worsened, but she quickly made friends with the health care workers and fellow residents, doing what she could to care for others . To say Liz lived a long, happy and fulfilling life is an understatement. She lived every day with great passion and her 90 years were chalked full of wonderful memories, surrounded by a loving family and great friends - a life truly worth celebrating. A memorial service was held Monday, January 14 at 2:00 p.m. from Ogema United Church, Ogema, with Rev. Isabella Frank officiating. Interment will be at a later date.

Cliff began working as a rural mechanic instructor for the Alberta government in the winter and a carpenter in the summer. In 1999 they moved into Camrose, AB, to retire and build yet another house. Cliff was a true handyman; all his life he was building, renovating, or repairing. With his deteriorating health these past few years his tendency to delegate his numerous projects increased. However, he always took great joy in visits from his grandkids and family. It was his life-long love of nature that made him an expert regarding all types of trees, flowers, birds and animals. He always had an answer for everything. Cliff is survived by his loving wife Corinne, their three children: Cheryl Luckwell, Craig (Kristine), Carrie (Rob) Longhe, and Dave Luckwell; eight grandchildren: Lonney, Corey (Ashley), Larissa (John), Denae, Zachary, Alexander, Randy and Derek; three great grandchildren: Hannah, Aidan and Leland.

At age 87 he passed away in his sleep Saturday morning, September 21, 2002 at home. He was the youngest of three boys: Ian was born in 1909 at Yellow Grass, and George and Alan at Pangman in 1912 and 1915 respectively. In 1918 the Prentices bought land near Pangman. At a young age Alan learned about life on the farm - the good and the bad. Farming was to be his way of life for over 40 years. On April 8, 1942 Alan married his high school sweetheart, Dawsie Smith. This union was blessed with two daughters, Eldene and Sandi. Through them he was blessed again with five grandchildren. Later Alan would chuckle as the grandchildren expounded on their adventures and misadventures. The sports and athletic stories they told him were always greatly appreciated. Both granddaughters and grandsons enjoyed the mints he gave them. They could also charm him into giving other gifts and favours. The only exception was that he would not give them his older pickup truck. As a young man he enjoyed various sports - baseball, hockey, curling, horseshoes, and even golfing out in the sheep pasture. In his early retirement years, Alan enjoyed attending auction sales and recycling buildings. Both Eldene's home and Sandi's have benefited from those recycled materials. The two sons-in-law, Norman and Earnie, utilized Dad Prentice's building expertise and his tools. Some of those tools were new, but many had been purchased at auction sales. More recently, Alan had enjoyed playing pool with his friends at the Drop Inn Centre, buying and selling old tractors, making latch-hook mats, and playing cribbage with his daughters. Alan definitely proved the saying "Once a farmer, always a farmer" to be true. He had been out at the farm working in the shop just several days before his passing. He is deeply loved and missed by his wife, daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren and their spouses and his great grandchildren. Predeceased by his parents, Andrew and Catherine Prentice, and two brothers: Ian and George Prentice.

PRENTICE - Dawsie (nee Smith). It is with sadness we announce the death of Dawsie Prentice on Wednesday, July 13, 2005 of Pioneer Lodge, Moose Jaw and formerly of Pangman. Dawsie was born in Montana in 1918 to Bill and Margaret Smith. They moved to a farm at Pangman when Dawsie was eight years old. Dawsie took teacher's training in Regina and then taught school for three years. In 1942, Alan Prentice and Dawsie were married and lived on the Prentice farm just outside Pangman. During her teaching career, she taught at Black Oak school, Parry and Pangman. She always took great interest in each of her students and told her family many "tales out of school". She loved to farm along side of Alan and she always said that driving the tractor after teaching all day was very relaxing for her. She had a great love for her Jesus and served in several areas in her local church. When she retired from teaching in 1982, she took up some hobbies and had time to spend with the grandchildren. Now she had the time to make beautiful needle work pictures and to assemble difficult jig-saw puzzles. Alan's sudden death in 2002 and the onset of Alzheimer's caused many changes in Dawsie's life. She was a resident at Pangman and Bengough nursing homes and Pioneer Lodge in Moose Jaw. She is survived by two daughters: Eldene Block (Norman) of Leroy, and Sandi (Earnie) Brandow of Moose Jaw; grandchildren: Al (Heather) Block of Moose Jaw, Twila (Doug) Kenney of Medicine Hat, AB, Gary Block of Regina, Sean (Marsha) Brandow of Rhineland, Heather Brandow of Moose Jaw; great grandchildren: Kiana and Aliyah Block, Zowie Brandow, Desirae Kenney.

RAINEY - Dan Rainey (1909 - 2004) was born in Avonmore, Ontario and came west to Regina with his parents and three brothers at the age of one. All his life was spent in Saskatchewan. During his early childhood years he lived and attended school in Regina. From Regina the family moved to Radville where his parents took up farming. In his early teens the family moved again to the Khedive area where he completed his elementary education. After a few years they moved to the Amulet area in the late 1920's, where he farmed with his father. In 1930 he married Pearl Rolston and for almost 71 years they worked side by side, through good and bad times that the province and country went through during the depression and war years. Dan was a true farmer, one who loved the land. He looked forward to the season of spring when it came time to plant and watch new life come into being and in the autumn he looked forward to harvesting the crop. Even when crop yields were poor he was thankful for small mercies and he always looked forward to the next year with high hopes for better things. In 1944 Dan purchased a half section of land just north of Pangman. In 1946 he ran the Beaver Lumber Yard and farmed. In 1947 Dan and Pearl started to build a new house which they completed in 1948. Dan was active in the community serving on the local Coop board, the local school board, the United Church board, the Milestone School Unit and the Ogema Credit Union board. He led the Khedive Pangman 4-H clubs for a number of years. He spent many hours working to get the actual building of the present drop in centre open. He was an active member of the Cornation Odd Fellows Lodge in Pangman and in later years he was active in the Masonic Lodge in Ogema and the Weyburn Shriners. He was also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star of which he was the past patron. He took great pride in his lodge work, and dearly loved riding his Shiners bike in the parades held at local fairs in various communities in southern Saskatchewan. In 1970 Dan and Pearl left the farm and moved into Pangman. Their son Jack and Doreen took over the farm but Dan still had a keen interest in what was going on and every spring and fall he was there to help in any way that he could. In 1999 Dan and Pearl moved to Weyburn. They enjoyed life in Weyburn because they were able to take part in many activities. Dan sang with a senior group that visited the various senior homes in Weyburn and the surrounding area. Dan loved to play the spoons and up to the very end of his life he continued to play them and seldom did he ever miss a beat. He also enjoyed playing the violin. Dan and Pearl loved to dance and once the music started they were up and on the floor. Dan was not a shy person he loved to visit, even with people he didn't know. He enjoyed going to the Weyburn Mall and the Coop and there he would always get into a pleasant discussion with someone and as often as not it was someone he knew ever so slightly. Dan loved his family, as a husband he and Pearl faced life together, hand in hand, as a father he was a wonderful role model. He was proud of his children, his grandchildren and his great grand children. Now he has been laid to rest at peace with the world; he rests beside his beloved Pearl in the Amulet Cemetery. He is survived by three children; Melvyn, of Richmond, BC, Jack (Doreen),of Pangman, Marjorie Walters, Union Bay, BC; four grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.

One weekend in 1974, Dale accompanied his father on a trip to Weyburn for a couple days to visit some long-time friends. That weekend he applied for a job at Great Plains Ford, a local dealership.

He played in tournaments whenever possible. He took great pride in the appearance and condition of his property, so he spent most of his home time out in the yard. Whether it was re-painting the house, mowing the lawn, or watering the garden, he loved it all. Woodworking was another one of his many hobbies. He spent time in the garage making windmills, picture frames and clocks. When they were completed he would quite often hang them in the house, or would give them away as gifts.

Except to go away to school, Rae lived his entire life on his own farm four miles northeast of Parry. It was a mixed farm with grain, cattle and milk cows.

He was four years old when we moved to the farm at Bures. Gerrad was a very active boy and enjoyed being with his dad, where farming and cattle became his past time. Our next move was to the Grainger farm. He received his education at Ogema High School. Many good times were spent with his brother, sister and neighbour kids, cousins, friends and of course his school chums. I am sure they all could tell of many exciting stories of things they did. He married Karen on July 30, 1988 and they remained on the farm and had three beautiful daughters: Tylynne, Kianna and Sierra. They brought him all the joy and love a parent can experience. Cattle became his hobby again with all of his family taking part in it. Gerrad enjoyed sports and loved the competition of curling, hockey, baseball and playing cards with friends and family. He had health problems in the latter part of 2001 and started with surgery in March of last year and found out he had cancer. He was a very strong person never complaining and faced his pain with courage. He had a smile and joked with the nurses all through his recovery which was not to be. He passed away in Bengough Health Centre on March 31, 2002 with his family by his side. Gerrad will always be remembered with his smirky little grin and quick wit.

Ruth Iona Fair was born at Khedive, on July 26, 1911. She went to school first at Black Oak School, then Kinghorn School. When Kinghorn School closed in 1919 she went to the Khedive Consolidated School. (Fred attended Kinghorn School too). She was one who loved playing basketball and excelled in the game. The Fair family moved to British Columbia around 1920, then back to Saskatchewan later in the 1920's to Coronach. Ruth married Frederick George Vosper on October 13, 1929 at Coronach. Verna, Lorne and Evelyn were born on the farm at Coronach. Vospers then moved back to the Vosper homestead at Khedive in 1939. Norma was born after the new house was built at the farm. The home at Khedive was known for the house plants that Ruth's green thumb produced, as well as the canaries she raised. Neighbors visiting were heard saying that it may be winter outside, but it was spring all year round in the Vosper house. For many years Ruth provided Woolworths in Weyburn with African Violets, Gloxinias, and canaries for sale. After the farm at Khedive was sold in 1959, Fred, Ruth and Norma moved to Ceylon.

He was the third of five children, the oldest was his half-brother, Phillip and sister Lena, then Lawrence followed by two sisters, Anne and Betty. Lawrence was predeceased by his parents, Anton and Barbara Wagner; his sister, Lena Hollerback, brother-in-law, John Hollerback; brother, Phillip Wagner; sister, Betty Wagner; brother-in-law, Louis Colbow and niece, Julienne Janz. Lawrence lived on the family farm most of his life. He attended school at Khedive then returned to farming, living on the family farm until moving into the Deep South Personal Care Home. Lawrence never married. He was a born farmer and took his vocation very seriously. He grew grain and raised livestock all the years on the farm. Every animal on the farm had a name, probably based on its disposition or some other characteristic. Throughout his life he delivered cream, milk and eggs to his many customers in Pangman who eagerly awaited his arrival usually on a Saturday evening. In the early years, the delivery was done with a horse and cart. In the later years, he finally bought a car which speeded up the delivery process and he expanded his deliveries to a few customers at Weyburn. Life became a lot more manageable after they built the new house in the early 60's. Lawrence loved baseball and hockey. In the early 50's the family used to go to the farm on many Sundays and after the chickens were butchered and cleaned for dinner, they always had to have a game of ball. When he got older, his baseball and hockey were restricted to watching the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Blue Jays and Saskatchewan Roughriders on television, spending many hours right up until his passing watching sports. Lawrence had a brief stint in the army shortly before World War II ended. There was one thing that Lawrence was extremely proud of, and that was the Family Farm Heritage Award which was given by the Province of Saskatchewan to honor a family farm which had been continuously operated by members of the same family since 1905. The award was given in 1980. He also had an aerial picture taken of the farm, of which he was equally proud. Lawrence loved to play cards and tell stories. Lawrence moved from the farm to the Deep South Personal Care Home in 1998, but he missed his life on the farm and his close neighbors, the Kaufmanns. While in the Care Home, Lawrence made many close friends, especially one, Agnes Madigan, who accompanied him on a few sight seeing tours around the countryside. It has been said that the staff of the Care Home were all very special friends, who at one time or another, swapped a good joke or story. Lawrence will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Prayers were said Sunday, January 22, at 7:00 p.m. from Holy Angel's Roman Catholic Church, Pangman. The funeral mass was held Monday, January 23 at 10:30 a.m. from Holy Angel's Roman Catholic Church, Pangman with Father Francis "Prince" Kurisinkal Celebrant. Interment followed in Pangman Cemetery. WEBB - Floyd Webb passed away peacefully with his family by his side on February 8, 2004, at the age of 77 years. Floyd was born at harvest time, September 2, 1926, on the farm south of Amulet; the eldest son of Fred and Queen Webb, and brother to Keith, Albert & James. As a small baby, he, his mother and others were stricken with typhoid fever. A member of the harvest "threshing crew" was thought to have been a "carrier" of the dreadful disease. He experienced the one-roomed schools of Mundie and Amulet and later high school at Pangman. In 1944, he left to work in a P.O.W. pulp-wood camp at Fort Francis, Ontario, returning home to help with spring farm work. He was not old enough to go to war, but he went to boot-camp at Dundurn. In the winter of 1947, he worked on a dray at McBride, B.C. In 1949, he married Georgianna McRae at Amulet, and they moved to Rossland, B.C. where he had a job at the Trail Mining & Smelter Plant. A year later their eldest child Ken was born and they moved back to Saskatchewan to their farm site south of Amulet, with his parents and younger brothers all living near by. He did the field work, but much preferred his parcels of native grass and livestock. He built miles of barbed-wire fences, and this was when we children spent time with our Dad; besides helping him milk cows, put up hay and checking the cattle herds. He worked long days to provide opportunities for his five children, similiar to his own up-bringing - schooling, sports, 4-H, church activities, camps and a sprinkling of other special highlights. As we grew up and left home, Dad became our family "glue". Religious and statutory holidays were times his crew could gather and he looked forward to these occasions. With every new family member, he added more "glue" to hold his expanding family together and to keep it strong. He chose not to force his opinion and advice on us, instead he offered his non-judgemental support, as we continued to draw on his strength and protection. He invested a lot of time and interest in his grandchildren, and he drove many miles to do so. This investment paid off "big time" for him and more so, in the past few months! Dad liked where he lived, and in 1991, when he moved to Pangman he felt he was abandoning all of his wonderful neighbors. He enjoyed the simple pleasures of life - a good cup of coffee, loaded with sugar and cream, enhanced with a piece of pie, and good conversation with lots of dry humour! And driving - driving while doing that well known "farmer's gawk" and the good feeling of being tired after a day's work. In his later years, he felt he could justify the time to sit and watch a ball game on TV, listen to "old-tyme" music and to read. He loved to read, especially history. Dad always said there was no other place he would have chosen to raise his children and live out his life than the farm; on the prairies. The prairies embody the essence of Dad's personality: "A quiet, unpretentious place with a beauty that will not tolerate a lot of flash and show, but rather; a subtle beauty that must be earned. It is a land that has no patience for the weak at heart; requiring great strength and determination; in order to stay long enough to enjoy its moments of splendor." This last year was a difficult time, as Dad saw his life "closing in on him" (as he would say)but like the land, he did what he had to do without complaint, gracefully surrendering his freedoms, realizing what needed to be done and doing it with a strength and determination; that would even make the prairies smile and nod their head in approval. Predeceased by his parents, Fred and Florence Webb, Floyd will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife of 54 years, Georgianna; children, Ken (Rhonda) Webb of Winnipeg, MB; Stuart (Bev) Webb of Ogema; Beth (Ian) Hudson of Ogema; Iris (Delbert) Warren of Ogema; and Murray (Loretta) Webb of Frontier.

Betty was born on the family farm north of Amulet. She attended Medora School to grade nine then quit to stay home and help on the farm. She went to Avonlea to cooking school and then worked in Regina as a cook in a restaurant. Cooking and baking were some of her greatest passions, as many of us can attest to her great meals prepared in a few minutes. Betty taught community college, German cooking classes in many communities including: Ogema, Bengough, Assiniboia, Parry, Mazenoid, Mossbank, Coronach, Tugauske and Weyburn, where she enjoyed every moment she spent getting to know and help the students. She received many letters over the years praising her passion for teaching and cooking. She became well known for her buns, broccoli casserole, cabbage rolls, apple strudel, German hot potato salad and canned peaches. On October 14, 1942, Betty married John Yung who was the love of her life. They then lived on a farm near Parry and later bought the Maxwell place two and a half miles north of Amulet. In 1975 they retired to Ogema where they resided until their health declined. Betty loved children and was always bringing a nephew or niece home with her. Finally they adopted two children, Margaret in 1953 and Raymund in 1956. They were always told they were very special because they were chosen. Betty's deep love for her children carried on to her grandchildren and her great grandchildren. No task was ever too great for her to help the kids with and they always knew her door was open. Betty's sewing skills� there was nothing Betty couldn't mend, repair or create and was as close to a professional seamstress as one could get. Another role for her was doctor Betty. There are many stories of her famous Mustard Plasters, a sure cure for a cold. She was always the nurse maid, to family, friends or someone who needed her help. Her biggest role was taking care of her husband, John, especially after he developed Parkinson's Disease and she remained by his side caring for him until his death in 2004. They were able to spend 61 wonderful years by each others side. Betty's faith in God was very strong. She never missed a Sunday Service or went through a day without a prayer. After her health declined and she was no longer able to attend mass, she would often be found with her Bible and Rosary. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Prayers were said Friday, December 30 at 7:00 p.m. from Holy Angel's Church in Pangman. The Funeral Mass was held on Saturday, December 31 at 10:30 a.m. from Holy Angel's Roman Catholic Church, Pangman with Father Francis "Prince" Kurisinkal celebrant.

YUNG - John Yung formerly of Ogema passed away in Weyburn on Thursday, February 27, 2004 at the age of 91 years. John was born at Parry on February 21, 1913. He started school in Parry until 1920 when his family moved to Pangman where his father ran the local butcher shop. In 1924 they moved to the farm in the Hemlock school district where Grandpa continued his education receiving his grade 10. Grandpa then completed his grade 11 in Regina at Scott Collegiate. The next move was back to the farm where he worked alongside his father. In 1939 Grandpa went to work for a road construction crew. They built the road from Fords corner at Pangman to Horizon with horses, a dump wagon, and the elevator graders. Upon completion Grandpa rented a farm at Parry and on October 14, 1942, he married the love of his life Betty Pingert. In 1943 Grandpa and Gramma bought the Maxwell farm 2-12 miles north of Amulet. Grandpa and Gramma adopted two children, which they raised from babies: Margaret in 1953 and Raymund in 1956. Grandpa and Gramma continued to farm and raise their family until 1975 when their son Raymund took over the family farm. Uncle Ted and Grandpa spent many weeks building their new house in Ogema and this is where the grandchildren spent many nights. Over the next 29 years Grandpa and Gramma never left each other's side even up till the final two months in the Pangman Health Centre. Grandpa was a farmer at heart. Talking with Angie last night she recalled Grandpa always arriving at the farm for harvest. He loved to help unload the grain and be a part of this time each fall. In the memory book grandpa was still out helping with his cane in hand and a bucket to sit on too, to rest his legs. I also heard a story this morning where grandpa was driving the tractor and pulling the combine behind and was going to clip the fuel tank and everyone was waving for him to stop. He just waved back happily clipped the tank, it rolled off and he headed out for the field without a worry. Grandpa was community minded. He was on the Wheat Pool board all his farming life. He was president of the Amulet Telephone board for 15 years and when it joined with Ogema he served another 15 years until the government took it over. Grandpa was on the Pangman Coop board for seven years and served as a reeve for the RM of Norton for six years. Grandpa was a trustee on the Weyburn library board for many years and also served five years on the board of directors for the Southeast Regional Library. Grandpa loved to do the bookkeeping and up until just a few months ago was still keeping the books in perfect order. Auntie Marg told me that grandpa liked to go to conventions. Whether it was for the library, council, or whatever board he was on at the time. Grandpa was honoured by receiving a framed picture for 30 years of dedicated service to the Pangman Branch library and in 1993 received a plaque from the Saskatchewan membership in recognition of a significant contribution to the advancement of library service in Saskatchewan. Also grandpa was a church board member. During his retirement years Grandpa spent many years on the Pangman Hospital Board and served as secretary treasurer for the Senior Citizens Center. Grandpa grew up in a three-part family. He was the first-born, but lost his mother and brother during his birth. His father remarried a widow, who had two children of her own, Walter and Margaret. His father and new wife would then go on to have seven more children of their own. That made grandpa in a family of 11 children. A funeral service was held at 10:30 a.m. from Holy Angel's Roman Catholic Church, Pangman with Fr. Prince presider. Interment was at Hillcrest Cemetery. |
