Fact 1

From A Stake in the West: Carnduff and District

The following information on the Family of John Adam Shier was copied from the History Book “A stake in the West: Carnduff and District” starting on page 854. This report was submitted by Lorna Douglas.
JOHN ADAM SHIER, son of Philip Shier Sr. was born July 1, 1857. He was known as “Long John” because of his height, for he measured six feet, four inches in his sock feet. His wife, Mary Ann Dukelow, was a sister of Mrs. John “Wesley” Shier.
     On October 17, 1898, through an agent, he made application to homestead the SE 10-2-34 W1st. On June 19, 1899, he purchased the SE 15-2-34 W1st from the C.P.R., and this was where he lived with his wife and seven children while proving up on his homestead. He was forty-two years of age at the time.
     In 1899 he broke seventy acres of land, and in 1900 he cultivated these acres. In 1901 he broke fifty-five more acres and cultivated seventy acres. He kept, on the average, about four horses and four cattle. On January 20, 1903, John A. Shier received the patent for his homestead.
     As a young man, John A. worked in a boiler factory, and as a result he lost much of his hearing. Being a kind, generous amiable man, he was well liked by all who knew him. Mary Ann was an excellent seamstress and made most of the family’s clothes. She also did all the baking, gathering hops from the river hills to use as yeast in making bread. She supplied the bread for Communion at Church in the Florence School. Because of his poor hearing, John A. did not attend church but was a faithful reader of the Bible. They farmed in the Florence district until about 1925, when Mary Ann’s health began to fail. They sold the farm to a Mr. Parker from Iowa, but during the Depression, he could not make the payments and the land went back to Mr. Shier. The farm was then run for a number of years by his son, Russell.
     The last ten years of Mrs. Shier’s life was spent as an invalid and she was patiently cared for by her husband. Mr. and Mrs. Shier both passed away in 1941. Their Children were Walter, Arletta, Alma, Russell, Lucy, Herbert and Olive.
     WALTER, Eldest son of John A. Shier, was born November 4, 1883, in Ontario. He married Susan Spencer, daughter of William Spencer of the Florence district. For some years Walter lived at Amulet and Ogema, Sask. He passed away sometime during the fifties. They had one daughter, Phyliss, who was raised and educated at Carnduff. In 1929, she went to Winnipeg and took a secretarial course and then went to work for the London Life Insurance Co. until 1951, when she married Laurie Newton of Tweed, Ontario. They made their home in California. Laurie died in 1973. Phyliss still resides in Vallejo, California.
     ARLETTA, eldest daughter of John A. Shier, married Walter Herbert Shaw.
     ALMA, second daughter of John A. and Mary Ann, married John Fawcett. They had two daughters, Margaret and Grace, and one son, Jack. Margaret married Floyd Haughton of Carnduff. Grace died in a car accident in California in the 1960’s. Jack was a cook in the Armed Services. He lived in Barrie, Ontario until his death in 1970/
     RUSSELL, the second son, married Eliza Sedore of Carnduff on December 27, 1917. They farmed on the Philip Shier farm for many years, then moved to his father’s homestead on the SE 10-2-34 W1st in the Florence district. They had fifteen children, thirteen of whom are living.

HERBERT ROY SHIER FAMILY – by Edna Shier
     Herbert Roy Shier, the third son of John A. Shier and Mary Anne Dukelow, was born at Beaverton, Ont., Aug. 16, 1891. He came west with his parents at the age of nine in April, 1899. Three families of “Shiers” came at the same time and settled in the Florence district where they received their education at the Florence School. I believe the school district was formed after their arrival from the East and I have heard Herb tell how the children ran and played on the Souris River Hills, like Indians, the first few months. His mother baked bread for the families and one week baked 56 loaves – loaves two or three times the size of the baker’s loaves of today.
     The school also served as the church with the Methodist Minister from Carnduff serving the community.
     By the early teens, John A., as he was called, had acquired considerable land and livestock, so Herb remained on the farm with his father until John retired to Carnduff, after selling the farm to Mr. Parker, an American. This was in 1920.
     Herb then worked with C.W. Lownsbrough in the garage business and on December 28, 1921, he married Edna J. Emrick. The Emricks had come west in 1913 from Orillia, Ont. Edna was born at Beatrice, Ont., Dec. 18, 1899, and received her education at Haileybury, Ont. and Orillia, finishing at Carnduff. She worked in the Merchant’s Bank at Carnduff for three years and was a member of the first “Ladies Curling Club” at Carnduff in 1918.
     Herb and Edna moved to |Glen Ewen in 1923 where Herb bought grain for the Federal Grain Company for some years. He later built a garage and operated it until 1936, when he moved his family and belongings to Ponoka, Alberta. Alter five years there, in the garage business, he moved to Calgary and worked for the C.P.R., during war and later with Robinson Machine and Supply. He passed away on Nov. 25, 1976 and is buried in Queens Park Cemetery.
