Robert Small

Robert Small was born at Arthur, Ontario in
1869. His family moved to Toronto, Ontario where
he finished his schooling and went into the tin smith
trade. It was while working as a tin smith that he went
back to Arthur to work. There he met his wife,
Margaret McDougall, who was born in 1879. They
were married in Arthur in 1901. Their oldest son,
John, was born in January, 1903, at Arthur. That

spring, they moved to Goodwater, Saskatchewan, a
small town about twenty miles south of Weyburn.
Three more children were born there on the home-
stead: Bill in 1906, Ted in 1908, and 1, Emma, in
1914. The family farmed there until 1924. The boys
got their education there, I was educated at Goodwa—
ter, Antwerpia, Shergrove and Dauphin. Due to
drought, hail, and rust we had very few good crops at
Goodwater.

In March, 1924, the family moved to Manitoba
onto a farm about a mile south of Antwerpia School
on the N. E. in 3623-14. This was the former Mon—
teyne place. They then moved to the Chester Camp—
bell place, N. E. 1/4 4-24-13, now a part of Frank
Cottyn's pasture. They raised cattle. The boys
worked out in the summer, but one would come home .
for a month or more to help hay. In 1929, they all _
moved to a fann at Dauphin, Manitoba. Mr. Small
and John farmed while Bill and Ted worked at
Dauphin.

Bill was married in Dauphin in 1931 to Ina Hall. .
He joined a trucking and garage business, along with
two other men. Bill and Ina have four children, Gary,
Wilma, Geraldine, and Linda. Gary lives in Portage
la Prairie, is married and has three children. Wilma is
now Mrs. M. Lewicky, lives in Winnipeg and has no
family. Geraldine is now Mrs. E. Bennett. They live
at Shoal Lake with their four children. Linda is now
Mrs. C. Ducharme and lives in Winnipeg. They have
no family.

Ted drove mail out of Dauphin until 1940 when he
joined the Canadian Armed Forces. He went over-
seas in 1941 where he served until 1945. He married
Elsie Spencer in 1941. They have one child, Mar-
garet, now Mrs. Zennon Zurba. They have three
children. After returning home from overseas, Ted
and Elsie bought a farm in Dauphin and farmed there
until Ted died in 1955. His wife still lives in Dauphin.

My parents, John and I moved back to the
Rogers’ place, four miles south of Shergrove in 1935.
I was married to George Spencer in 1936 at Ochre
River; Manitoba. We farmed at Dauphin on the 8.1%.
1/5; 25-25-20 until retiring to town in the fall of 1979.
George passed away in 1980. We have six children:
Barry, Jean, Ilene, John, Ken and Gloria. Barry is on
the home farm. He is not married. Jean is now Mrs.
H. Podwomy of Ochre River. She is a Registered
Nurse at Ste. Rose Hospital. They have one daughter.
