He worked his way acorss Canada. In the early winter of 1900, he squatted on the N.W. 6-42-2-W5. and his Father homesteaded the S.E. Vi and his brother Walter had the N.E. V4 of this same section. This was located 4 miles south west of the present Rimbey townsite. Allan received his patent in 1906, and soon after purchased his brother Walter's quarter. His Father's quarter was sold to Fred Schrader. Allan's father died in 1912 and was buried in Mount Auburn cemetery. His motber passed away in the spring of 1914 and was buried beside her husband. Allan courted and won the hand of Daisy Tegart, who had come with her parents, two sisters, and a brother from B.C. in 1910. They lived on a farm in the Monte Vista district. The Mitchell Polushin's now own and live on the land at this time. Allan laugh- ingly told us later, how he took the bells off his horses so that the neighbors wouldn't know what time he went home, from courting his lady love. Allan and Daisy were married April 5th, 1915. They were a striking couple, he with hair as red as the morning sun, and hers as black as midnight. None of their children inherited his red hair, but it came out in several of their grandchildren includ- ing our eldest daughter Darlene. In the 1920's the whole country was booming, and Allan Langmuir was improving his homestead, investing borrowed money. In 1926 he bought a 1921 model T Ford car. Three times he drove his Ford to Edmonton on gravel and dirt roads. In January 1931 (that was the winter without any snow) he brought his wife and youngest son home from the Rimbey Hospital, in the Model T. That was the last time the car left the farm on its own power. There he lived on a half section farm with his wife and nine children, and a mortgage on the farm in the middle of the great depression. Allan, born March 1916, died June 1940. Elizabeth Lillian, born 1917, married Edgar Hawk- ings. They had eleven children. Alexander John, born 1918, married Ester Roe. They had three daughters. Allan and Daisy Langmuir 1941 i Walter, born 1920, married Margaret McGuire. They had three daughters. Ivor, born 1922, married Doreen Ellsworth. They had five children. Bertha Jane, born 1923, married Gerald Reilly. They had eight children. Robert, born 1925, married Amy Lofgren. They had three children, He died in 1981. Thomas, born 1927, married Anita Sawchuk. They had four children. Edward, born 1931, married Ramona Spycher. They had one daughter. Four sons and one daughter joined the services in World War Two, with Sandy and Walter going overseas. In 1947 they moved into a newly built house, on the east end of the farm, and lived there until 1967, when they moved to Northcott Lodge in Pon- oka. They lived there for six years, until his death in August 1973, at the ripe old age of 96. He was buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery. After his death Mrs. Langmuir moved to the Parkland Manor in Rimbey to be closer to her fam- ily. She lived there for a year and a half, until her death in April 1975. She was buried beside her husband in Mount Auburn Cemetery. Over the years : a history of the Rimbey area Symonds School District No. 1615 - Page 520
