They worked in Edmonton until 1909 when they obtained homesteads through the Pine Creek registry office. "Jim" filed on SW 18-59-19-4 on February 19, 1909 and received patent February 10, 1915. The Inneses filed on the next quarter to the west. Jim worked on the homestead in the summer months and during the winter was employed by the Alex Dawson, Blacksmith firm in Edmonton. He opened his own blacksmith shop in Waskatenau, being one of the first established businesses in the hamlet. He sharpened plough shares at any time of the day or night to help the local farmers meet dealines dictated by the weather. He was a versatile mechanic, able to deal with anything that was brought to him, from machinery to horses that needed to be shod. The "village smithy" was a popular place with the local children, and Jim was a friend to all. In August, 1922 Jim married Ellen Irene MacQueen of Lamont, making this the third union between these two pioneer families. They were married at the Sidney Woodward homestead with the Rev. R.T. Harden officiating. Jim and Irene made their home in the village and this soon became a meeting place for relatives and friends in the area. Some years later they sold the shop to the blacksmiths next door, John Osoba, and moved to become full-time farmers. During the 1950's Jim suffered a stroke and spent his last days in a nursing home in Athabasca. He passed away in December 1958 and was buried in the Waskatenau cemetery southwest of the village. Irene is retired and living in Edmonton. This couple had a family of four: Bernice, Donald, Edward and Muriel. Edward, born on January 8, 1938, lived just a week; for the others, see their individual stories."
