Hamlet of St. Alphege
St. Alphege is a grain point on the main line of the CPR seven miles east of Wilkie. Being so close to the divisional point of Wilkie, it never developed beyond a grain point.
A visit to St. Alphege in the fall of 1976 revealed that the Searle elevator was gone. It had been closed in 1966 and in 1974, it was torn down and sold for lumber.
All that remains of the site along the railway are a few piles of scrap lumber overgrown with weeds and the oil heater that once warmed the elevator office.
