Page family from Stettler

albertagirl — 29 Jul 2008 1:54:12 GMT

Hello

between 1901 and 1906 Harvey Page (born Feb 1872) and his wife wife, Agnes (born Jan 1878; nee McGee) moved to Stettler. They are found in both the 1906 and 1911 Census. To the best of my knowledge they had 4 sons - Gerald (wife is perhaps Kay?), Dickson Page, Floyd Page, and George Page.

Someime between 1906 and 1911 Harvey's younger brother, Dickson Page (born 1891) joined them. He is with the family in the 1911 Census.

I would dearly love to know the death dates and burial locations for this family.

My connection is through Harvey Page's mother, Ellen Davis, who was a sister to my great, great grandmother. I have a lot of information the Davis family and other branches that I would love to share.

Sincerely

Thelma

William C. Proctor – Stettler, Alberta

Dale W. Proctor — 29 Oct 2005 6:08:25 GMT

I would love hear from my distant cousins or any fellow genealogists who can help me confirm information or fill in any blanks I have regarding my great grandfather’s brother William C. (Charles?) Proctor and his family in Alberta.

What I know so far is:

Born about 1 Oct. 1874 in Ontario – Probably in Euphrasia Township, Grey County, Ontario, near the village of Kimberley. Son of William Proctor and Mary Webb

In the 1906 census there is a 32 year old William Proctor listed at Stettler, Alberta, who was not married.

Married Mary Ellen Clark

Died Aug. 1953 – An obituary found in the Grey County Ontario Archives dated 27 Aug. 1953 states: “MEAFORD WOMAN LOST BROTHER IN THE WEST – While she was completing plans for a visit with her brother Wm. C. Proctor, of Stettler, Alta., Mrs. John R. Randle received the sad news of his sudden passing. Mrs. Randle expected to leave on Monday for the West. Word came Tuesday evening that her brother had passed away earlier in the day. Another sister, Mrs. Richard Solomon also resides in Meaford.”
Children: Gordon, William, John & Helen

I can share the information I have about this family’s roots in Ontario and England.

Stettler area newspaper question

JoeKuchta — 30 Nov 2003 4:04:41 GMT

Hello,

Would someone happen to know if there exists newspapers on
microfilm for the Stettler area circa 1926-1928?

I'm hoping to locate obituaries for two people who are buried in Botha, Alberta which is just east of Stettler.

They are:
Christina ROUNDS, died 11 October 1928
Henry Alexander ROUNDS, died 29 November 1926

I've looked through the National Library of Canada list of newspapers but didn't see Stettler mentioned.

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks kindly.

Lucy McKee

eileenwilson001_1 — 28 Mar 2002 2:22:59 GMT

Lucy McKee, the wife of Sylvester, is said to be buried near Stettler, but her grandson who is now in his late 80s, says that the tombstone has either been broken or there never was one. I suspect she died sometime between 1905 when they arrived from Kansas and 1909 when Sylvester made his will, as there is no mention of Lucy in the will. Two of the children, Harry Leroy and Kate (who married Bill Wilson), settled near Rumsey/Rowley, while the other two, Emory and Edna, returned with their father to the US, and settled in California.

If anyone can help me find Lucy's grave and a date of death, I would very much appreciate it.

TEWKSBURY INQUIRY

Harold Blumer — 26 Aug 2001 3:17:56 GMT

I found my great grandfather's brother and sister-in-law in the Canada 1901 census on-line, Parker B and Abigail TEWKSBURY, and two of their children, Alonzo and Minnie TEWKSBURY. Subsequent information has placed them at Red Willow in Stattler County. Later three other children joined them in that area, David Decker TEWKSBURY who we believe was killed in an accident there about 1920, his sister Flavia and her husband John W LANE, and another sister Abbie LEARY and possibly her husband, first name unknown. Parker B TEWKSBURY died about 1907 and his wife Abigail died about 1913. I believe they were buried at Red Willow, probably at the Prairie Grove cemetery. Is there an index of names from that cemetery? Can someone check it for me? I intend to travel from Wisconsin to Edmonton area arriving there about September 19. Would like to know if I am on the right track. I am also looking for descendants of these families who may yet be in the area. Would like to find someone to advise me in locating property records and birth and marriage records of this family when I arrive in the area. Thank you. Harold

Phillips family @ Stettler

kfwet — 15 Jun 2002 3:27:03 GMT

I have just received a photocopy of a photo with the caption...
"Charlies Phillips at Stetler, Alberta son of Ben and Ida (Small) Phillips"

also another photo with the caption...
"- Charles Phillips
- Ben Phillips - Red Deer, Stetler, Alberta
- George Small
- Ida (Small) Phillips..."

There is still another photo with the caption...
"Adry Phillips, son of Ida (Small) and Ben Phillips of Stetler, Alberta"

It appears that these two fellas, Charles & Benjamin Phillips may have come to Stettler from the St. Thomas area of Ontario; but, I don't know when. Benjamin Alfred Phillips was b. abt 1857; Charles Gladston Phillips in Oct 1890. This is the first I've heard of Adry Phillips. Ben Phillips, his wife Ida and son Charles were in the 1891 Census for Ontario; however, I did not find them in the 1901 Census; so, perhaps they were already here in Alberta at that time. Do these names do anything for anyone out there? If so, please contact me at kfwet@telusplanet.net.

Thanks ever so much!

Looking for information on Emil ERICKSON, who by 5 (?) was living in Canada. He was born 1886/7 in Sweden, and was living in Donelda, Calgary, Alberta in 1913.

I have a letter from him to his mother-in-law Edla WIKLUND (my gr grandmother). He was married to Brita Erika Emelia (TUNBERG) ERICKSON (b. 1888 in Sweden) who I believe was dead by 1913. They have a daughter Emma (? I think - there is an "Emma" mentioned in the letter) of unknown age in 1913.

I am looking for any relative that may still be living. I now live in the US in Pennsylvania and would appreciate ANY information that anyone can share. I have the family lines from Sweden and I am willing to share info as well.

THANK YOU!!!
