Two other relatives of mine (Tommy Henrich), and graduates of the 1914 class of Ruthenian Teachers were my Great-Grandfather, John Lewontiuk, and his brother Demetro Lewontiuk. John Lewontiuk was a brother-in-law to John & Sam Axenty as he was married to their sister, Minadora Axenty. John Lewontiuk, was teaching in the Calder/MacNutt area. I have many old documents, including old teaching contracts, pay records, pay disputes, etc. for John Lewontiuk. These four men all began teach careers after graduating in 1914, until they all emigrated to Southern California, 1920 - 1921. -Tommy Henrich Zenon Pohorecky writes that Calder and MacNutt, Canora, Dysart, Regina, Kayville, Limerick, Stonehenge, and Wood Mountain saw a significant amount of Roumanian settlers who arrived in the first wave of Roumanian settlers to the area between 1900 and 1913.
