As a family they made the decision to move to a place with way more land , they moved to canada with the promise of great land for groing things and no weeds . The discouraging day of fruit selling made the final decision for him . In march of 1902 they loaded there belonging in a box car & moved to canada with included they 3 beautiful horses 2 cows .
