Read More	Bessie Walton came with her parents to Canada from England at the age of eighteen. Following her marriage to Fred Gilliland on Nov 18, 1885, they lived in Baltimore, Ontario and raised a family of nine children, all born in Ontario. They came west in 1909, bringing their belongings by box-car to Bowden, where Fred purchased the home farm five miles west of Bowden. With the exception of 5 acres the land was covered with bush and trees. Fred grew their first potatoes from peelings. As was usual in those early days it was cleared bit by bit, with the housewife doing her part in raising the children, washing for a family of eleven on a wash board, making butter and bread. Bessie must have been strong - she was a little person, but lived to the grand old age of 91, always able to look after herself. Fred and Bessie retired in 1940. The Gillilands family consisted of Florence, Anne, Jack, Albert, Emma, Robert, Norman, Luella and Bessie. (From Pioneer Legacy; Bowden and Districts)
