Richard Oliver - By Ed Oliver

My grandfather, Richard Oliver, and family came from Roland, Manitoba in 1898 travelling by boxcar with their belongings. There were five children, Kyle, Frank, Fraser, Parker and Emma. He homesteaded on SW 6-32-2-5 which is west of the Sprinside School.
In 1912, I, Ed Oliver, came from Saskatchewan to live with my grandparents. Granddad always kept a nice bunch of horses. One little grey mare I was breaking would buck but my grandfather wouldn't believe me when I told him. One day when he thought no one was looking he tried to ride her and got piled.
They used to go to church when it was held at the Carver farmhouse and at Westerdale.
After Grandma passed away there were several housekeepers, one who chased Grandad around the house outside with a frying pan.
He sold the stock and moved to Didsbury for awhile. After a seige of town living he went back to the farm. He again moved into Didsbury after being on the farm another few years. He moved into a small house east of the railway tracks. In 1925 he moved to Calgary and in 1932 he passed away at the age of 90 years.
Mr. Oliver's daughter, Emma, married William Galloway and passed away in 1909 at 24 years of age.¹²

On Monday evening, January 23rd, Mary Oliver, widow of the late Robert Linton, entered into rest very suddenly and unexpectedly. Mrs Linton had a weak spell in the morning but during the day she felt better and no one apprehended that the end was so near. About 10.45 at night while lying in bed very suddenly and peacefully the end came.
The late Mrs Linton was born in Devonshire, England, being a daughter of the late Thomas Oliver. She came to Canada with her parents when a girl about 15 years of age, in a sailing vessel, the voyage taking nine weeks. The family first settled at Meyersburg but soon came to Campbellford where the deceased spent the rest of her life. On Nov 7th, 1868, she was married to her late husband, the ceremony being performed by the late Rev Septimus Jones, of Belleville. To them were born seven children, five of whom survive, three sons and two daughters viz.: Adam, F.A. (Fred) and John, of Campbellford; Mrs Noel Gill, of Charlestown, W Virginia, and Mrs Stanley Neale, of town. Two other sons, George and Frank, died some years ago and Mr Linton in October, 1923.
The late Mrs Linton was possessed of many of those excellencies of character that developed in those early days among the pioneer settlers of this country. It may be truly said that she lived for others. Her home life was marked by love, patience and cheerfulness, and beyond the pale of her family many kindly acts of helpfulness and cheer are gratefully remembered by friends and neighbours. never ostentatious or conspicuous but always quiet and reserved, her life was intensive in kindliness and compassion, expressing itself in unselfish service for others. In religion she was an Anglican and was deeply interested in all the activities of the church. Even in her declining years she never lost interest in the affairs of life.
The funeral takes place this Thursday afternoon. Service will be held in Christ Church at 3 o'clock p.m., and the remains will be interred in the family plot in Christ Church cemetery.¹⁷

The funeral the late Mrs Robert Linton took place on Thursday afternoon. Service was held at Christ Church, conducted by Rev N C Wallace. There were many floral tributes sent by friends from far and near, as tokens of sympathy for the family and out of respect of the deceased.
