Marquardt and their family - Harry, Alice, Arthur, Ralph and Edward - came to Bassano in 1909. Harry Marquardt was a Dirtmoving Contractor, born in Bloomington, Illinois, and came here from Lethbridge where he built Henderson Park Lake, the racetrack and the streets in North Lethbridge. He moved his outfit of horses and equipment to the irrigation dam site south-west of Bassano on the Horseshoe Bend. There he turned the first sod for the dam by stripping the base for the earth dike which is a continuation of the dam. He then moved to what is now the Little Dam and there he built the Little Dam earthfill and the Main Canal to Lathom. The family lived south of the Anglican Church where Mrs. Marquardt planted the first two trees in Bassano. These Manitoba Maples are still growing at the site. Following Mrs. Marquardt's death, Harry Marquardt married Emma Haber and they had three children - William, George and Jean. The Marquardt boys were active in sports, particularly hockey and baseball. Harry Marquardt died in 1947. Mrs. Marquardt resides at Sunshine Lodge in Drumheller. Of the family, Edward, who married Rose McBride, and William still live in Bassano. Harry died in 1955. His wife Betty, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Clyne, lives in Bassano.
