Dad and mother were married in 1904and came to the Crescent Hill district to homestead, NW 14-45A-22-W2nd. They first lived in a log house with a sod roof. Ira and Arthur were born in this house. A new two storey house was built where Erma, Edwin, Ruby, Robert, were born. Dad was a blacksmith and helped his neighbors in many ways. In the early days Dad was a horse dealer and his word was as good as his bond. He showed his horses as teams, with brass mounted harness, and to ok many prizes at the fairs. Mom won many prizes at these fairs with baking, canning, and butter. Dad raised cattle and sheep and also pigs. The sheep wool was carded and spun into yarn, to be knit into socks and mitts. Both parents were hard workers and good friends. In 1918, a large house was being built, and six of us were sleeping in the second storey of a large granary, with seed grain and harness when Arthur smelled smoke. We all got out safely , but the granary burned. A new barn was built that year and was used for community dances . George was born in the new house in 1922. Waterhen Lake had drained in 1923 and Dad had a contract to fence both sides of the ditch. The fence posts of red tamarac came from Bannock, Sask.; some posts are still in the fence. About this time, Round Lake was being turned into a resort, by Dad. A large pavillion was built with a electric power plant, to provide the lighting for the large dancing area. Swimming, golfing, boating, fishing, etc. were enjoyed. As many as five hundred campers were there at one time. A 25 passenger boat, with canopy, was used to take people sightseeing.

He was a strong churchman and was associated with the Presbyterian Church in Crescent Hill. In early years and after retiring , he attended United Church. He acted on the school board for many years.

In November 1929, Ira married Gertie Peever and to this union, Edna, Betty, Irene, and Mervyn were born. In December 1929 Erma married Gordon Paynter and to this union Ethel , William, and Patricia were born.

The same year Dad, Edwin and Arthur went to the Peace River area to homestead in the Debolt District, 50 miles from Grand Prairie.

In January 1939, Edwin was seriously hurt by being hit on the side of the head by a dry tree while he was skidding out trees with a team. He was flown to Prince Albert, where he passed away that evening.

By Donald G. Kyle

Marion Margaret Weatherby was born April 28, 1901 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. She was the daughter of John G. M. Weatherby and Ann Margaret Deacon. Both Weatherby and Deacon families gave my grandmother a rich and diverse Canadian ancestry. Her grandfather was Richard Deacon first certified steamboat captain on the Saskatchewan River and Canadian pioneer. He named one of his steamboats the "Marion" in her honor. Her grandmother Deacon was born Mary Morrison McBeth giving my grandmother ancestors to the Red River Settlement in Manitoba. The Weatherby family roots go back quite early 1800's to Prince Edward Island. Not much is known at this time of my grandmother's childhood , so we forward ourselves to 1925 and find my grandmother marrying my grandfather Frederick James Kyle in Vancouver, Washington. They then made their home in Portland, Oregon U.S.A. Their first three children were stillborn and then in 1928 my father James was born. Six more children were born to Frederick and Marion. They remained married until June,1946 when my grandfather died at a railroad convention in Columbus, Ohio. In 1946 family returned to Portland where my grandmother worked as a practical nurse in numerous nursing and convalescent homes in Portland until she retired. She worked very hard to support herself and her family. My grandmother never drove a automobile, and took the bus wherever she went. When she came to visit if mom or dad couldn't pick up, sometimes one of us kids would walk to the bus station or look down the street till we saw her coming and help her with her suitcase. My grandmother was not tall only 4'11'' and I remember what a big deal it was to know we were now taller stay at our house and I remember she liked to watch the pro wrestlers on Saturday night. She would have made a great ringside Rosie. When grandma came to visit in the summer we would walk down the railroad tracks or drive down to where the old mill had been and pick wild blackberries. Turkey roaster pans would get filled as we dumped our buckets of tasty berries in them. My brother Robert one time stepped right in the middle of a full pan of berries. The thorns were plenty on the bushes but the reward was sweet when my mom and my grandma made blackberry jam and pies. How delicious. My grandmother never had a great deal of material things but what she did have she gave of freely. She made quilts all the time out of scrap material she gathered. I have one still and though tattered it is still warm. She always remembered our birthdays with a card and a dollar tucked inside. I think she also believed a person should have a hobby and one Christmas 1962 she gave me and my older brother stamp albums and I still collect today. My dad has a picture of my grandmother firing his 22 pistol. She would try and do about anything. We were lucky to have her.

She was married to Frederick James Kyle (son of William Kyle and Mary Ellen Gillerlain) on 18 Apr 1925 in Vancouver, Clark Co., Washington. Frederick James Kyle was born on 9 Oct 1889 in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. He was baptized on 3 Nov 1889 in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. "On the 3rd of November One Thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine, I the undersigned Priest baptized Frederick James from the lawful marriage of William Kyle and Mary E. Gillerlain. Sponsors James and Maud Wilson, Priest J.J. Conelly." This from the records of St. Michael's Archangel Church in Belleville, Hastings Co., Ontario He appeared on the census in 1891 in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. He appeared on the census in 1901 in Belleville, Ontario,Canada. He was a Telegrapher between 1910 and 1946 in Canada and United States. He served in the military between 1914 and 1919 in France and Belgium. Mentioned in Despatch by Filed Marshal Sir Douglas Haig dated 8th November 1918 for gallant and distinguished service in the Field. He was awarded the following Service Medals : The 1914-1915 Star, British War Medal and Inter-Allied Victory Medal with a multiple-leaved emblem worn on this medal for those "Mentioned-in-Despatches". He died on 11 Jun 1946 in Columbus, Ohio.

By Donald G. Kyle

Not much is known of his childhood. It is known he was in a trio and also was in some plays when young. It is not known when he left home, but it appears he worked for the railroad and went west, working as a telegrapher and such for one of the Canadian railroads. In 1914 he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force as member of its signal corps. He served in France and a copy of his military record is on file with the National Archives in Ontario. He received an letter for distinguished service in the field signed by British Secretary of War Winston Churchill and three service medals. For may years it was believed that the bullet wound my grandfather had was a result of his military exploits, but in pre-induction physical shows he was shot before he ever enlisted. Upon discharge from the service at the end of the war he gave an address in Edomonton, Alberta. That appears now to have been an address for a boarding house. In 1925 my grandfather married my grandmother Marion Margaret Weatherby in Vancouver, Washington . He went to work or was working for Postal Telegraph in Portland , Oregon where they made their first home. Portland city directories show at that time he listed himself as Franklin J. Kyle until at least 1936 when applying for a Social Security number he showed his name as Frederick James (Franklin) Kyle as if to say my name is Frederick but I go by Franklin and since he signed everything F. J. Kyle no one would question it I guess. Later city directories showed him as Frederick F. J. Kyle A puzzle to be sure. He also gave his birthplace as Detroit but a border crossing record for his mother in 1915 during WWI shows that was the first time she had visited or been to the United States. After a short stay in Washington the family moved to Timber,Oregon in about 1942. My grandfather was working for Southern Pacific Railroad now and was working for them when he died in 1946 while attending a railroad convention in Columbus, Ohio. Columbus is located in Franklin County same name as the alias my grandfather used when first he came to Portland, Oregon.
