CAMERON HENRY

Cameron Henry, born in 1944, eldest child of Stan and
Jean Henry, took his early education in Oak River and
went on to obtain his 8.5. of A. at University of Manitoba.
Upon completion of his degree he taught agriculture
courses during the winters of 69-73 for the Dep't. of
Agriculture at Sandy Lake, Steinbach, Brandon, Miniota,
and Oak Lake. However, his only real interest was farming
and with the winter cleaning of seed grain and
involvement in community life, his time was soon
completely occupied.

In 1969 he married Denise De Pauw, Brandon and area
Home Economist, formerly of Treherne, who was soon
made to feel a part of the community. Our son, Scott, was
born in 1971 followed by daughter, Marnie in 1975. After
living in a mobile home for eight years, we moved in 1978
into the old family home, built by Cameron's grandfather
in 1909. This is the third generation of Henry children to
grow up in this house. I'm sure the walls have tales to
tell! !

While still farming with his father, who is in
semi-retirement since the writing of the last history, Cam
has assumed responsibility for the daily farm operations.
