Memories of Early Days in Hamiota and District
The piece recounts early grain buying in Hamiota, detailing elevators, CPP lines, and reduced district size after railway shifts. It notes Manitoba cooperative elevators as the current buyer, late 1950s rail changes, and the community’s hard work and self-reliance. It also sketches settlement patterns, land grants, local families, church beginnings, and a moving church building.
