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.

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.

Letter:
The couple came to the Maxwell district to homestead on the S.E. of 22-40-20,
about two miles North of Maxwell School site. 

Wesley being a stonemason by trade soon had laid foundations for a house and
a barn.  In 1909, Wesley was one of six people nominated to run for school
trustee.  As a result of the July 3rd vote,  Wesley Ennis, B. M. Gee and J.W.
Wheeler became the first Maxwell School Board. 

From this time until 1918, Mr. Ennis spent a great deal of time and effort 
obtaining the necessary documents and permission to form the Maxwell School
District.  

Wesley served as secretary-treasurer for a number of years.

I am sending you a copy of a letter that I received about my grandmother's
grandfather. 

I see where you have a listing of school in the sask area. 

I thought this info would be useful for others to see.
