Memories of Early Days in Hamiota District
The reminiscence recalls 1880s farm life in western Manitoba. Father buys oxen and then a team of steer improvised for field work after a dry year. A thunderstorm kills a two year old steer, later replaced. Peritonitis kills the father during a long drive to Brandon. Funeral rites and cemetery details follow. The piece notes isolation, slow communications, and the opening of markets with trains and a Shoal Lake dealer establishing a warehouse at Hamiota, transforming grain transport.
