Following his marriage to Bessie Walton 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. Fred was active in community affairs. He was on the coucil for many years, building roads through the area and working for the improvement of the municipality. He was a veterinarian and travelled all over the country with his horse and buggy to attend to sick animals. He loved his driving horse "Jim" and could be seen making his weekly trip to Bowden for groceries. A ride with hime never seemed long, as he had stories to tell, and always peppermints to produce from his pockets. Fred was interested in all aspects of agriculture and for several years was president of those early Fair Boards. Fred and Bessie retired in 1940. The Gilliland family consisted of Florence, Anne, Jack, Albert, Emma, Robert, Norman, Luella and Bessie. Norman farmed west of Bowden also, until until taking up the elevator management. He moved north to Bluesky, where he remained until he joined the Armed Forces of WWII. He was killed overseas. (From Pioneer Legacy; Bowden and Districts)
