Read More	In 1909 Harvey, accompanied by Roy Knudson, Haven Dancy, and Eber Waite, came to Alberta to file on homesteads. The land Harvey chose was located approximately seven miles southwest of Sanderville. After this was accomplished, he returned to the States to make preparations for the move to Canada. In 1911, they lived in very make-shift quarters until the sod house was ready for occupancy. This dwelling was small, having but two rooms. However, it was quite comfortable, being cool in summer and warm in winter. There must have been some extremely rough days, breaking a few acres at a time, drought, and shortage of feed, but seemingly no end to determination. Their first real home on the barren praries was built eight miles south of Consort. It was a two story frame structure, boasting a large kitchen, dining room and living room on the main floor and three bedrooms upstairs for the family which grew to five girls and two boys: Jewel, Myrtle, Gertrude, Lela, Cleona, Orval, and Douglas. The farm home was moved to Consort in 1950, had the addition of a new kitchen, bathroom and laundry room, and was Flora and Harvey's home until they passed away. Harvey "Pop" as the family loved to call him, was very active in community affairs, serving as Rural Municipal Councillor (Municipality of Stewart) and again in the town of Consort in charge of Public Works. Harvey and Flora enjoyed good health with no major illnesses and remained active, living in their home. Harvey passed away on June 11, 1968, after a few days sickness, and Flora on December 7, 1975.
