Witnesses to the marriage were P. Ponych of and J. Ponych, both of Edwand, AB. Taken in part from 'Our Legacy' History of Smoky Lake and Area - by Harry and Jean Makowichuk John was the son of Aksenty and Maria Makowichuk of the Lashkiva district in Austria. He was born in May 1900 while his father was away in Canada selecting a homestead in the Edwand district that would be suitable for settling. His mother, his sister Katherine, and his two brothers, Bill and Nick, waited for the opportunity to follow him. But John would complete two years of schooling before sailing to Canada in 1909 to finally meet his father. Once reunited, the family worked at getting established in farming. In the early 1920's John married Katherine (Katie) Rogoza, and remained on the original homestead while his parents purchased and moved to another quarter of land. As his family increased in size, so did their need for more productive land. In 1942 John and Katie purchased two quarters, and leased another two. Originally John farmed using horse-drawn implements, but after acquiring more land, he needed assistance and haste to sow and reap the crops. By 1949, he owned a tractor, and in 1951 he bought the family's first vehicle - a brand new three-quarter ton truck. Both John and Katie are buried in the St. Pokrova Orthodox Church Cemetery at Edwand. Their family consisted of 12 children: George, Mae, Elizabeth, Jean, Lilly, Anne, Harry, Peter, Sam, Rose, Irene, and Olga who died at a very young age.
