87 Years Ago In Nevard Farm History

November 28, 1936 Uncle Horrie went to town with wheat and Dad went with him. Prince and Dixie got scared by a truck loaded with furniture on 35 highway near the cemetery and tipped the wagon and load over into the ditch causing much trouble and delay. It was Dad's new box. If it had been one of the old boxes it would probably have been demolished. I hauled water and got a jag of dry wood home. Karl Miller re-elected councillor. Bud got the mail home. November 29, Sunday. Church service at Headlands. Mr. Hillary. Dad, Dick, Uncle Arthur and I all walked. Others attending were Tom and Ed North, John Leslie, Mrs. Binnington, Agnes and Bert, Cliff Barton and Paul Morrison. Uncle Horrie, Roy and Joy here to supper. Dick and Uncle A. stayed at Murphy Newton's. Bud fixing up a radio he bought somewhere.

November 9 Today in Nevard History

November 9, 1936 Today I took Spark and Violet with the wagon to get a load of flour which Dad's ticket had won in the raffle. It was said to be at Adam Lutz's place so I went to the old Fred Millward house where I had never been before. I found William Millward in possession and heard from him that Lutz had moved to the West half of the section ten and was living where Tom Bordass used to live.t Proceeding thither I found Philip Lutz assisting his most immediate male progenitor to dig a well. They had dug 40 feet then with no water. They have a new log barn with a lumber roof for about 22 head. Plastered with clay and cement washed over it looked like concrete. A slick looking building. Philip gave me the flour and I began my journey along highway 35. Met the distinguished Mr. William Sawchuck going wither from whence. Reaching the corner I turned East for 3 miles. The first mile between Aitkens and Harry Millward's being terra nova to me. Passing Sam Wheale's I observed his new house in the throes of construction but not completed. I stopped in at Greenforest and loaded up oats for town tomorrow. Uncle Horrie has started making his new stable. A bit milder today. Bud, Roy and Joy were here to supper and playing cards afterwrds.
