" I was in Pilger, Saskatchewan last week on a genealogy tour trying to track down relatives. It was the first time I had ever gone to a community for the express purpose of trying to fill holes in my family’s history. I am from Nanaimo, BC and my family has lived in the same community for 160 years and I have had no trouble tracking that branch. While in Saskatchewan I came across this wee school house that my grandmother would have attended around 1920. (Olive Bauer) My grandmother died in the late 90’s and took many secrets to the grave with her that I am just now unravelling." Barbara Webb, submitter of photographs.



MERRYWOOD S.D. NO. 3470

Officially founded and located
at this site S.W. 1/4 5-41-22 W2 in 1921.
The school was opened March 6, 1922.
There were 14 students the first
summer Miss Anne Farrel was the
teacher. The pioneers constructed
the school to provide a basic
education for their children and
generations to come. In August
1961 Merrywood school was closed
and the students were bused to
Middle Lake. This cairn is dedicated
to the pioneers, trustees, the 180
students and the 28 teachers
who passed through the doors of
Merrywood School from 1922 to 1961.
