This meant a much shorter trip for Frank. We only had horses then and the mail came in once a week. We also had the only toll pay telephone that served the area, in our home. The Valpoy school was closed before our children reached school age. Pupils were then sent to the De La Manais school. Our children were too young to drive horses the distance by themselves and it would have been too time consuming to drive ourselves, so we boarded them in Ste. Rose when they reached school age. They spent their first two years with my Mother, Marie Monteyne, then later stayed at the convent. In 1947, we purchased land in the area west of Cayer, called Pryne Lake. Frank‘s bachelor brother Bill, had sold his farm in Makinak, and he came to help Frank make hay for the cattle at Pryne Lake that summer. They made many a trip from Valpoy to Pryne Lake that summer; as Frank still had to be home to haul the mail every Wednesday. We moved to Cayer that fall. We had better pas- ture and better hay crops so Frank concentrated on cattle raising, which he much preferred to grain farming. We brought our sheep with us but coyotes created such havoc we soon dispensed with them. We were still without a convenient school so the children boarded at the convent in Cayer. The Cayer convent kept both boys and girls making it possible for our son to attend as well. The convent did not keep boarders over the weekend so we had to fetch and return each Friday and Sunday. We did have a truck but the weather and conditions dictated, to great extent, our mode of travel. We often had to go back to the reliable horse. Our children are Kathleen —— married to Freeman Johnson —— Their story is in the Larkspur section. Our second child, Mary, married Barrie Scott of Dauphin. They have three children, Ryan, Allison and Donald. Ryan married Leslie Hanson of Red Deer, Alberta, they have two sons Christopher and Curtis. Allison married Ernest Behrmen of Swan River, Manitoba. Donald is presently attending the U. of M. Our son, Myles married Georgette Leperre of Ste. Amelie. Their story is in the Cayer section. Myles wanted to follow in his Father’s footsteps and be a cattle rancher. We sold out to him and retired to Ste. Rose du Lac in 1966, where we still reside. Bill, Frank’s brother; remained with us all the time we were in Cayer. He was more interested in raising grain. He re-opened some old pioneer fields and enlarged them. He also trapped in the winter and helped with the chores. When we moved to Ste. Rose, he built a little house on his own land, south of Myles’ where he stayed until 1968. He retired to Ste, Rose where he passed away on October 7th, 1980. Myles and Georgette Morley Myles Morley moved to the Cayer area with his parents in 1947 at the age of six years.
