Moved back to Buhl, Twin Falls, Idaho and his son Gordon Wayne Pettit was born there Feb. 14, 1923. Emigrated to Linaria, Alberta, Canada in 1939 to take up farming. He was very progressive and built windmills to pump the well water for the house and water tanks for livestock. He enjoyed going to local fairs, baseball games and visiting family and friends. His wife Eula passed in 1953 and Pete did not remarry. He retired from farming about 1965 and lived in Barrhead and then Westlock Sr. Housing until his death in 1970. Pete was a short, dark haired, hazel eyed gentleman. He loved his farm, family and Canada. A farming accident as a youth left him with his right leg longer than his left and he wore a built up boot but it didn't cause any problems. He smoked a sweet tobacco in his pipe and loved to play cards with anyone that would play with him. I remember him fondly and miss his gentle face, attitude and smile emmensely. Edith L. Yuill, granddaughter.
