Birth*Bella Irene Melville was born on 25 August 1912 in Saltcoats, Saskatchewan, Canada. 
She was the daughter of Thomas (Sr.) Melville and Pheba Albertia (Bertie) Allen. 
Marriage*Bella Irene Melville married Ernest John Franklin Shier, son of Richard John Wesley Shier and Sarah Ann McLaughlin, on 15 October 1933. 
Married Name As of 15 October 1933,her married name was Shier. 
Fact 1*The Shier Family 1912 – 1916

As written by Ernest and Bella Shier in 1981

In the summer of 1916 Richard and Sarah Shier rented the Walter Furneaux farm 8 miles SE of Cymric. In the fall of that year Mother and the four boys arrived, and took over the farm, Dad remained in Toronto and held his position with the C.P.R. until the following spring. (I had been living with my grandparents west of Cymric since the spring of 1912) having “come west” with granddad and uncle in the box car with “Settlers Effects”, the grandest two week trip a boy ever had with horses and chickens, and sleeping in the hay.

Mr. Furneaux being a bachelor, and bachelors’ quarters being insufficient for a family of seven, in the spring of 1917 he proceeded to built a suitable house. Ground being frozen, and therefore unable to dig a basement, the house was built on tracks with rollers, and later rolled onto foundation in basement.

I hauled coal from Semans the winter of 1916-17.

We lived and farmed there three years, and upon the impending marriage of Walter Furneaux to Ettie McLaughlin, my mother’s sister, Father purchased the west half, and rented the east half of Section 8-27-19-W2. We still own this land.

There were buildings on it, being virgin prairie, the north half lying in furrow slices as left by Swany Swanson’s big Reeves steam engine and fourteen(?) furrow plow.

We bought the house from Robert Johnson, brother of (later) The Honourable Tom Johnson, and with the aid of horses, wagons and borrowed telephone poles moved it to the present site. This house burned in 1925 and was replaced by a new one, with help of many friendly neighbours.

Early in October 1919 my brother Reaford, at 16 years being a good horseman was put on the land with a “Double Disk” and six horses, and had 60 acres done when on Oct. 6 the ground froze overnight , the earliest “freeze up” I can recollect.

In 1921 we bought our first tractor, a 10-20 HP Titan, IHC. 6 ½ in. bore x 8 in stroke, 575 rpm (I still have a piston) and a 229 38-in. IHC separator, which we ran for 17 years.

In 1921-22 I worked for Frank Richardson, renting the farm at Glen Afton for 3 years. During these years and later we played baseball in summer near Glen Afton School with Jack Hood, John Green, Len Brown, the Leach boys, Grahams, Lockreys and many others, and held dances in the school in winter.

In 1920 Reaford and Millburn worked for Andrew Tait who farmed on Sec. 6-27-19-2. In 1926 brother Harold emigrated to the USA. In 1926 I worked in Hans Hukee’s garage in Semans.

In 1927 we purchased the George Sculley Homestead on 20-27-19-2 with two additional quarters. In 1928 they removed my appendix. That summer we built a new barn on Father’s land on Sec. 8, which was burned by children playing with matches in the hayloft. A team of horses also was burned, about 1947.

In 1928 e built the present house on the Scully farm. In 1929 Reaford married Verna MacIntosh. They have two girls, Joyce and Berneice and one son Norman. Reaford died on Oct. 10 1976.

In 1930 brother Milburn emigrated to the USA. He worked in the auto industry, including a twenty-five year stretch with Cadillac, as machine repairman. He married Betty Mantelle in 1935 and they have one son Kenneth who is a mechanical engineer with the Cadillac Motor Division, one daughter Beverly, married, and is a computer repairwoman with IBM. They live in Detroit Michigan and suburbs. Millburn died in March 1977.

In 1933 I married Bella Melville. We have two sons, Edward who lives in Vancouver, and Leonard lives in Regina.

In 1936 Reaford rented the Frank Mulligan Homestead on 18-27-19-2 and I moved onto the Scully farm.

1937 was the “crop failure year” in which I put more wheat into the ground in the spring than I harvested in the fall. Reaford and I put extra tines in the sheaf carriers on the binders, to hold the grain … it was too short to tie into sheaves, and we picked it up with straw forks, each of us with a wagon and team of horses. When we had a full load we went to the threshing machine, started it up and put our loads through, and repeat. Many other people did the same.

Clifford married Helen Martin in 1940. They have three sons, Wallace, James and Brian, and three daughters, Vivian, Marvis and Eleanore. Clifford died in 1961. Helen lives in Regina.

Mother died in 1941 of a stroke, in Mrs. Chas Simpson’s home in Semans, shortly after being taken there from Ben Neuman’s store where she was stricken as she was buying groceries for “the threshers”. Clifford and family lived with Father on the “Home Place”. Father died in 1959 at 87 years.

From 1941 onwards we seemed busy raising grain, cattle, turkeys (up to 1500 a year) and two boys. The first couple years Ted went to Highclere School, he was driven there by the Holyoak boys Jack and Lloyd. Later he rode and drove a pony. Leonard rode the same pony and on two occasions she fell on him and broke a leg. First time was near the school and he was picked up by Fred Carter in his car and taken to Peekes on the farm, where Bev brought him to town to Dr. Weiss who himself was just home from hospital. But Dr. Weiss taped his leg and took him to Nokomis hospital. We were in Regina with a truckload of turkeys that day. But being young and strong the legs healed fine. Second time he was driving into our own driveway with too much speed for a slippery road. He is now a systems analyst with the Co-operators Computer Centre. 
Death*Bella Irene Melville died on 24 April 2007 at age 94; Bella was born at Saltcoats, Sask. on August 25, 1912, being the first of six children. She passed peacefully through Heaven's Gates with family at her side on April 24, 2007. She was pre-deceased by her husband Ernest, a twin brother at birth, as well as her brother Tom and sister Edna. Bella is survived by sister Beulah Barry in Ontario, sister Leta (Ray) Furneaux of Watrous, brother Max (Anne) of Strathmore Alberta, brother Bert (Ann) of Seba Beach, Alberta; Also son Edward (Marjorie), grandson Richard, great-grandchildren Tarryn, Taylor, & Tyson; grandson Rodney (Linda), great-grandchildren Cassandra, Gavin, & Ryley; and grandson Raymond (Diane), great-grandchildren Dana & Justin of Vancouver, B.C.

Bella moved to the Semans area in 1929 at the age of 17, where she met and later married Ernest John Shier. Bella and Ernest farmed south of Semans for over 40 years, then resided in Semans for close to 15 years. In 1993, a year or so after Ernest passed away she moved to Regina. Bella resided at the Santa Maria Senior Citizen's Home in Regina for the past four years. Bella was known throughout the farming area for the large flocks of turkeys she raised each year, and later for her excellent baking skills as she stocked the Semans village bake sales. The funeral will be held Monday, April 30th at 2 p.m. in the Semans Pentacostal Assembly Church, with Pastor Cory Steinson officiating. Flowers gratefully declined.
