To The Pioneers

To The Pioneers

A chapter of history has been written

Each time a pioneer passes on

And their story is almost completed

For those oldtimers will soon be gone.

No longer we'll hear from their own lips

Of the many adventures they had

Of the hardships and trials they endured

In poor times, and when the weather was bad.

Now they came to the west in a wagon

Drawn by oxen, through wind, rain and sun

With only their folks few possessions

To find a home in Saskatchewan.

Many days over trails they did travel

Through the long prairie grass, their way made

Suffering sickness and many misfortunes

And the fear of an Indian raid.

When they finally located a homestead

A small shack was built on the land

The early pioneers made sod houses

Where no wood could be found at hand.

You may hear about all of their hardships

But they'll tell you some 'fun' stories too

Of the school dances, socials and picnics

And their own community do's.

The men helped their neighbors at threshing

Or a barn raising bee, often held

Traded what they'd not need to another

Or help dig a new neighbor's well.

The women assisted each other

Whenever a new child arrived

Did chores while her husband was working

At odd jobs, to help them survive.

But not all of course were just farmers

For they came here from all walks of life

Some to live in a village or hamlet

They experienced their full share of strife.

Now to those pioneers yet remaining

Our respect, admiration we give

May your courage, your strength and your spirit

In generations to come ever live.

Peter Phoenix Doze

Real name was Peter Phoenix Doze. Everyone called him P.P. Doze. The picture at the river was very blurry. I think someone had blown it up to 8 x10 size from a small picture. Kent's cousin, Gary Doze believes the picture might have been taken at the large pond/lake on the Doze property. The picture of him with the crows and owls: He didn't like crows and owls because they carried off baby chickens, baby rabbits, and destroyed the song birds. He considered the crows as "Bandits of the Air." I have a big article about his crusade against the crows! If I ever find it, I'll send it. Hope these files aren't too big. Vicki got these today from Kevin's cousin Vicki Doze.

The old Maxwell home in 1895

aunt minerva collection

you can see a team of horses hitched to a wagon in foreground,a good sized house, an outbuilding, fences, a woman in fenced in area to the left of picture, a woman in dark clothes right by fence in center front, and a woman to her right, on far right there appears to be a man. The house has 2 front doors.

I really wish I knew who these people were! I would guess woman on left to be Harriet Harrison Maxwell, based off the one picture I have seen of her. there is a second wagon by the open shed. (I'm using a magnifying glass, folks!) there are several downed limbs...maybe this was taken after a storm?

unknown family picture

aunt minerva collection

I love this picture! just wish I knew who it was.....the younger girl in front with her hair down really catches my eye...and the lady middle row second from right looks like a picture of Aunt Emily Creswell..maybe someday I will find out who they are! I'm guessing a Creswell family picture?
