    • Occupation: Between 1928 and 1950
    • Residence: Oct 1953, Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

    Notes:

    Henry wanted a full section in one square block because at the timeeveryone farmed with horses and it was important to have the landaccessible from the barn. We assume that he sold the half section in1928 when he found his full section and || which he farmed until 1950.We are told that Henry was a real horse person and always had the bestteam in the district.

    son Eddie took over the farm and Henry retired to an acreage in Hubaltanear Calgary and when he was not fishing, he sold eggs & milk. Eggs weresold to the Holly Cross Hospital and milk was sold directly from thesmall 10 acre farm.

    they visited Nathalia's Wonnenberg family in Colorado and Littau familyin Lodi California

    became Canadian Citizens.

    traveled to England and then to Denmark to attend grandson Wayne'swedding. After the wedding they went to Schwaebish Hall to visit theOhlhausen family and then on a Rheine cruse and back to England andCanada

    had lump removed off his shoulder and it was diagnosed as not cancerousand an operation on 25 Sept.1974 in the same area showed it was fastgrowing cancer.

    Name:
    He added an H between his first and last names to prevent his mail beingmixed up because his cousin, Henry Ohlhausen, lived close to his farmsouth of Irvine.

    Occupation:
    His hobby of fishing kept him busy, going to all sorts of fishing areasin the country. On 13 Feb. 1962 he and his fishing partner Matchett,were in court and fined $50 for being over the limit at a small troutpond.

    Occupation:
    In March 1917 he took over his father's homesead farm || The first 4years were rough as there was not enough rain to raise feed for their 6cows and 7 horses. They even fed Russian thistle and still two cowsdied. The years 1922-24 were better as there was more rain. They drove25 miles to Medicine Hat every two weeks to sell butter and eggs and getgroceries.

    Occupation:
    They worked hard but did not make much progress on this southern Albertafarm, so in 1925 when John Keim (Nathalia's step father) offered them a1/2 section of land with a house in the Acme district, they jumped atthe opportunity. The Rodney school was close and Eddie was born in thishouse. A 1927 land map shows that he owned the NW17+SW20-30-27 W4.

    Occupation:
    They had 15 working horses and had as many as 9 horses pulling a 3 bottomplow. In 1932 they threshed 19,000 bushels of wheat and oats and afterselling it did not have enough money to cover the expenses. The wheatwas 27 cents a bushel. It was a good farm in the good times when therewas no hail and they got the rain at the right time.

    Residence:
    they moved to 1925 Mount View Cr. NW Calgary and on 31 May 1960 to 2033Mount View Cr. where they lived until 1974 when they moved to Didsbury,Alberta. After all the years of farming and hard work they could finallyjust retire.
