The Norrie Family of Warman, Saskatchewan
James Bowman NORRIE and his wife Jessie moved to Warman, Saskatchewan in 1912. James, born in Inverury Scotland, was a Chelsea pensioner when the family immigrated to Canada in 1892, homesteading in Broomhill, Manitoba. After 20 years of hard work and poor luck farming they moved to Warman, SK where they owned and operated a hardware store for a few years. Jessie McKenzie Norrie, age 67, died May 27, 1919. James Bowman Norrie, 75, died August 22, 1921. Both are buried at Warman, Saskatchewan.
J.B. Norrie was President of the Returned Soldiers' Welcome and Aid League in November 18, 1916. The League sent Christmas greetings from Warman to the soldiers who were away from home during World War I. The League also presented gold pocket watches to the returning soldiers in 1918.
A month before he died, in July, 1921 the citizens of Warman, Saskatchewan presented J.B. Norrie with a walking stick.
