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. Their eldest daughter, June, died in the fire that totally destroyed their home in 1928. Marshal lost his life in World War 11.
     In 1934 Russ and Eliza left the Carnduff area and moved to the Kinistino area. He farmed in the Glen Mary district. He also farmed and had a blacksmith shop in the Horseshoe Bend district. In 1940, the family moved into the village of Weldon where they lived until 1968. Russ passed away on August 15, 1972 and is buried in Carnduff Cemetery. Eliza lives in Prince Albert, Sask. Their living children are: Harold, Norma, Donald, Elva, Allan, Verda, Jack, Dorothy, Olive, Avis and Mavis, Walter, and Erva.
     LUCY, was the third daughter of John A, Shier, she married Howard Jackson of Winnipeg. For many years they lived in Toronto. They had one daughter, Betty, who is married to Robert Campbell. Lucy lived in a nursing home in Brampton, Ontario. Lucy passed away in April, 1979.
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.

Death*

Dr. John David Shier PhD died on 16 May 2024 at age 89;
John David Shier, PhD, RN was born on January 23, 1935 in Madison, Wisconsin. He was the only child of Rachel and Harold Shier. John graduated from Saint Olaf College in 1956, then spent four years in the Navy serving aboard an aircraft carrier as an anti-submarine specialist. He returned home to pursue a graduate degree in philosophy. He was introduced to his future bride, Rosalie Holden, by his aunt Thora, who worked as the house-mother of Rosalie‘s sorority at UW Madison. They married in 1961, and Rosalie taught school while he pursued his PhD in philosophy. He became a Professor at UWGB as it was forming. Though he left after nine years, he kept the friends he made among the faculty for a lifetime. And his family was stopped on the streets of Green Bay and beyond for years with former students sharing the impact he had on their lives. John and Rosalie were active in civil rights and environmental causes from their earliest days as couple. Rosalie gave birth to their only child, Elizabeth, on Christmas Day of 1967. After teaching, John spent many years as the Executive Director of the Green Bay United Way, leading record-setting campaigns to support local organizations. At age 59, after almost 20 years as a hospice volunteer, He went back to school at the UW Milwaukee and became a registered nurse at age 61. As a nurse, he began speaking locally, and beyond, on health. He wrote a book: Choose Today, Live Tomorrow. His greatest teaching was that our medical system is hell-bent on keeping us alive, even if the state of our health is terrible. He spent his 70’s traveling with Rosalie and speaking all over the country. In 2022 Rosalie succumbed to a debilitating neurological disease. In 2023, John moved to Seattle to be close to Elizabeth and her husband Kemp and Rosalie’s family. He passed on May 16, 2024 on hospice with a diagnosis of emphysema. He used Washington’s Death With Dignity program to end his life on his own terms. He was full of gratitude til his last breath. He is survived by his daughter, Elizabeth Shier, son-in-law Kemp Hiatt, and his in-laws: Char and Ron Leamon, Sharon and Terry Mattern, Clarence and Cally Holden and Lolita Johnson, niece Gabby Holden and nephew Nathaniel Holden. He also leaves behind some of the best friends any man could hope to have. The bicycling and kayaking adventures they shared were legendary. He lived his life with joy and purpose, including years of dedicated service to Bellin hospital, Heritage Hill State Park, the Green Bay Symphony and community theater programs, the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, and tutoring 2nd graders in reading until his move to Seattle.

A memorial service will be held at Union Congregational church in Green Bay on August 24 at 10:30 a.m. Visitation at 10 a.m., and refreshments to follow the service. In lieu of flowers, gifts can be made to a fund in the name of Rosalie and John Shier at the Community Foundation, or consider a gift to the social service or arts organization of your choice in his name.

John's brothers are Lloyd, Harold, Earl and David. John's father was a building contractor, so it was not a surprise that upon John's return from World War II, he started and maintained a successful painting business for over 40 years.
John met his wife, Ann, after he returned from the War and after Ann immigrated from Ireland. John and Ann were married for over 50 years.
John was a loving Son, Brother, Husband, Dad, Grandpa and Friend to us. The most important part of my Dad's life was us, his Family and Friends. In his youth, he was resourceful and determined during the years of the Great Depression and its aftermath. He was a paperboy, soda jerk, and someone who never backed away from a fight. He was a Warrior. He enlisted in the Army during World War II and fought in Italy with the 361st Infantry. He was eventually captured and served as a prisoner of war in Germany before being liberated by his Brother - Lloyd's army unit at the end of the war.
John was a Man of Integrity who worked very hard throughout his life to provide for his wife Ann and his sons Dan and Jack. John was very easy going and happy. He had a very warm and welcoming spirit about him, an embracing hand shake, an outgoing demeanor and smile that lit up a room.
John loved and was very proud of his Grandchildren - Zackary, Samantha, Jacob, Shannon, Piper-Jane and Tessa-Ann.....as well as his Daughter-In-Laws Amy and Terri.
John lived life with 'Optimism'. He was an optimist who loved to please others. He was not critical of people. He really didn't have an unkind bone in his body.
John is remembered for the good nature, care, and love that he brought to so many of our lives. Rest well our Warrior, beloved Brother, Husband, Father, Grandpa and Friend.
