They had farmed in Ontario in a very crude way, sowing the seed by hand and harvesting with a scythe or cradle. He came west to Alberta to take up a homestead and make farming a way of life. With no money to speak of, he made his way mostly by riding in a box car or in the old Colony cars. If he ran out of money, work of any kind was the only solution to further travel. He started work in B.C. in logging camps during the winter and back to the homestead at Innisfail in the summer. Purchasing a team of horses and a wagon, he hauled logs from the Red Deer river area and built a log house and barn. Then, breaking native sod with a walking plow and team of horses, the first seed was sown on only a few acres. Then back to the logging camp in winter to make enough to buy a cow or two. The only groceries in those days were a sack of flour, some salt and sugar. The rest was grown in a small garden or they hunted wild game. About this time, Caroline came west as a young woman with her parents and settled in the Penhold area. Joe married Caroline early in the 1900's. Their surviving children were Clifford, Ruth (married Wagler), and Harold, who farmed west of Olds. Joe and Caroline both passed away on the same day in 1964.
