Dec. 22, 1909. ~kaschu ============================================= PATRICK AND ELIZABETH BOWEN By Mary Wilton My parents, Patrick and Elizabeth Bowen were born in Iowa, where my father farmed and mother taught school. Early in the 1900’s they heard of a great new country being opened up in Canada – where they could obtain 160 acres of homestead land for $10. And C.P.R. land for $2 and $3 an acre. My father made a trip up to see what it was all about and was really impressed, so he filed on a homestead and also bought 320 acres. He then returned home to make arrangements to come to Canada, the North West Territories, as it was then called. Early the next spring in 1902, we shipped all our belongings – machinery, household goods along with a few cows, hens, and a large team of mules and one of the horses. They were known as settlers effects. We stopped off in Ponoka, where mother and a family of four lived for two years until father prepared a house for us. Also a log barn for the livestock. While in Ponoka we were only a short distance from the Sharphead school, where a Miss Hunter taught. We moved on a very cold day in early spring. I still remember Mother heating large rocks all night to put in the sleigh with lots of hay and blankets to keep us warm. It took more than a day to make the trip, and we stayed overnight with the Burt Davidson’s at Buckhorn. They were wonderful people and very good friends until they passed on. Times were very hard in those years. A well was a must and was dug by hand. Then there was brushing, fencing and so many other things to be done. Our family consisted of three girls and one boy, who was the youngest, and that meant the girls helped outside as much as possible. Roads in those days were across country the shortest way possible. There were few fences but many creeks, bogs, etc., and no bridges and no fences to keep our cattle from roaming, so we went many miles to bring them home. Sir Wilfred Laurier was prime minister at the time so we named our bull Sir Wilfred. We had wonderful neighbors. Some being the Pat Donnellys, the Bill Richards, The Charlie Hansons who shipped their effects at the same time. There were three families of Bunches who had a log house on the farm where the Muddles now live. We had the Joe, and later the George, Marshalls, the Tegarts, and to the north of use were the Dubrovolnys. We attended the Monte Vista school where Mr. Vliet was the first teacher. Other neighbors were David Stuart, Charlie Hyde, the Irwins, the Vliets, the Goings and the Charlie Smiths. Our teachers were mostly from eastern Canada. Our school was made of logs and was very cold in winter time. Many times we pulled our benches around the big pot bellied stove and had our lessons there. Father worked in the lumber camps in the winter time and through the summer broke land one furrow at a time for $10 an acre to make extra money. He also worked on roads through the hot summer days, following a ‘scraper’ on foot. We always had a garden but we also had frost almost every night of the summer and did not plant beans or corn or anything tender. My father was a good hunter and he had lots of wild meat, prairie chickens, partridges, rabbits and other wild game. We used to pick large amounts of wild berries. Saskatoons were the easiest to pick and when mixed with rhubarb made a delicious sauce. [From OVER THE YEARS, a history of Rimbey 1892-1982] ~kaschu
