Reminiscences of Rossburn Pioneers Part Two
A long reminiscence recounts pioneer life in Rossburn Manitoba from 1881 to 1892. It recalls harsh isolation, mail days, church gatherings, early settlers like Joe Stitt and the Peden era, and the 1890s tragedy of John Duncanson’s death during well construction. The narrative links families, farms, travels to Scotland, and community memory with continued notes on descendants and local homesteads.

Rossburn Domination Pauses as Rain Cancels First Game
Rain and cold forced the postponement of the Rossburn Russell league opener. Rossburn defeated Birtle 16 to 8 in the second game, while a tight Rossburn Binsearth contest ended 4 to 3 in Binsearth’s favor. The schedule lists numerous senior and junior league games through May and June with multiple matchups across Rossburn, Binsearth, Foxwarren, Russell, Birtle, and Beulah. Continuous delays and incomplete practice mark the season’s early stretch.
