St Matthews Winnetka Church

St. Matthew’s Anglican Church – Winnetka is a Municipal Heritage Property occupying 0.8 hectares, 12 kilometres northwest of the town of Edenwold on the Etaples Road. The property features a small, one-storey wood-frame church built in 1927 and a cemetery.
The heritage value of St. Matthew’s Anglican Church – Winnetka resides in its association with the Anglican faith in the local community, a history that is older than the building itself. A church building was not constructed until 1927, but Anglican services were held in homes in the Winnetka area as early as the 1880s. A parish was organized by the 1900s and the pump organ that resides in the church today was purchased in 1903. Built on donated land, with volunteer labour, the church is a landmark in the community. Nestled against a bluff of aspen trees on a well-traveled road, St. Matthew’s Anglican Church and cemetery are pleasantly and practically sited.
The heritage value of this simple rectangular building also lies in its status as an example of prairie Anglican country church architecture of the 1920s. The east-west orientation of this church adheres to the European-Christian tradition of facing the main entrance towards the setting sun and the altar toward the east, a custom that tended to be followed by rural Anglicans on the prairies. The interior is striking in its simplicity. Varnished fir boards line the floor and ceiling and are used for wainscoting. Painted “beaver board” spans the wall area between the wainscoting and the ceiling. Three broad steps symbolizing the Holy Trinity, lead up to the altar.

Stirling SD 258

My Grandfather (Sigfried Walter) and Great Uncle (Wilbert Walter) attended this school.
Grandpa told me they walked about 3 miles to school, in the winter they would get a ride with the teacher sometimes.
The school had a stable attached to it and when winter storms prevented them from getting home the children would stay at the farmers house near the school.
During the late summer and fall Grandpa was rarely at school because he had to be home to help with harvest.
When they weren't busy learning they used to bowl in the basement of the school.

Swift Current Battleford Trail

When the railway reached Swift Current in 1883 this trail became the chief overland link between Battleford and the outside world. From 1876 North West Mounted Police from Battleford regularly patrolled it. But from 1883 until 1890 the full length of the trail was traversed by freighters' cart trains, settlers' wagons, police buckboards and a stage. In 1885, Colonel Otter led a large force of troops over the trail to the relief of the settlers at Battleford. After 1890 the trail gradually fell into disuse.

Saskatchewan History & Folklore Society Inc.
The Battleford Trail
183.85 Miles
Swift Current - Battleford
The the railway reached Swift Current in 1883 the Battleford Trail became the overland line between Battleford and the outside world.
The trail was regularly policed from 1876 by the R.N.W.M.P. between 1883 - 1880. oxcarts, teams, wagons, stage coaches and mail carriers used this trail, crossing the river at Saskatchwan Landing.
Colonel Otter and his men used the trail in 1885 to reach Battleford during the Riel Rebellion. In 1886 R.C. Laurie D.L.S. officially surveyed the trail laid out by G. Marchand in 1883.

The Lister-Kaye Enterprises

The Lister-Kaye Enterprises
In 1884, Sir John Pepys Lister-Kaye, a Yorkshire baronet, arrived in the northwest from California, bought 7,000 acres of land near Balgonie and started a farm.
In 1886, Lister-Kaye became interested in the Swift Current area. He bought ten blocks of land of 10,000 acres each., between Swift Current and Calgary. Each block was one farm; together, they made up the "76" Ranch.
In 1888, he formed the Canadian Agriculture, Coal and Colonization Company and received financial backing in England. Under Lister-Kaye's management, the company became one of the largest agricultural ventures in Canada.
The severe winter of 1890 killed cattle and reduced feed stocks. Lister-Kaye's unorthodox efforts to cover these losses failed completely. The financially pressed company reorganized and Lister-Kaye resigned as manager.
The company continued to operate until 1909 but never achieved the level of prosperity envisioned by Lister-Kaye.
The "76" Ranch
The "76" ranch took its name from the brand used by the Powder River Ranch in Wyoming. When Sir John Lister-Kaye bought the ranch's entire herd of cattle for his land development, he kept the brand and took the name "76".
This was the site of the Crane Lake farm, one of the ten such farms that together made up the "76" ranch. In 1890, it was made the cattle operation headquarters.
Each farm had a two storey house, a bunk house, stable and machine shed, granary and windmill, blacksmith shop, harness room, cattle shed, sheep shed and piggery.
The "76" survived the 1906-07, but lost two thirds of its cattle, its British owners sold it to Gordon, Ironsides and Fares in 1909. In 1921, the "76" ranch was permanently broken up, the brand passed through a number of owners before returning to this area in 1945.

The QuAppelle Valley

The Qu'Appelle Valley
The beautiful Qu'Appelle Valley was formed by the waters of Glacial Lake Regina and the South Saskatchewan River which cut into the deposits left by the glacier to form the valley.
Glacial Lake Regina was formed along a part of the front of a glacier which covered much of the northern portion of the North American continent about 11,000 years ago. Meltwaters from the front of the glacier and from the South Saskatchewan River filled the glacial lake basis.
when the front of the glacier retreated, North of the present Qu'Appelle Valley, Glacial Lake Regina expanded until it began to drain through the Qu'Appelle drainage outlet.
The water of Glacial Lake Regina and the South Saskatchewan River then formed the Qu'Appelle Valley.

Third Meridian

This marker at the Third Meridian, which is a major control survey line upon which the survey of Saskatchewan's lands to the west depends, honors the work of pioneer surveyors who overcame great difficulties in establishing a vast survey system on the prairies.
Basic to land settlement and the free homestead policy, the survey system of townships, sections and quarter sections, with allowance for roads, permitted ready location of lands and registration of titles.
Most of the provincial survey system was completed between 1880 and 1905 and now covers more than 110,000 square miles. The pioneer land surveyors made a notable contribution to the development of Canada by establishing one of the world's more efficient survey systems, unique in its uniformity, simplicity and practicality.

Thurber SD 1365

As early as the year of 1903 the first settler, John Holmes, homesteaded in the district which was later to become the Thurber district. By the year 1906 there were no fewer than thirty-two settlers. 
In June of 1905, the first meeting of the resident ratepayers was held to discuss the building of a school. 
The lumber for the school was hauled by team from Davidson, about thirty-five miles. Building began in the fall of 1905 and school opened in 1906. Mr. Robert Webster of Elbow was engaged as teacher. 
Some the pupils who attended the Thurber School at that time are still living in Elbow. They are: Mrs. George Hundeby, Mr. George Medby and Mr. Alfred Bartley. 
The school was kept in operation until 1952. During that time about two hundred and twelve trustees meetings were held.
