Kyle homesteaded NW 6-31-3-W5, which is now owned by Mr. Alex Blain. In 1904 he married Minnie Anderson and they settled on the homestead at Rugby. Their three children; Leslie, Mae, and Lawrence were born in a log house there. Mrs. Charlie Brown, a neighbor who was a mid-wife, assisted at their births.
Minnie and Kyle Oliver were both fond of hunting and sports of all kinds. Fish were caught as far away as Pine Lake, also at the still popular big fishing hole in the Fallen Timber River. Minnie and Kyle went hunting coyotes on horseback and with coyote hounds. The hides were sold and also the hides of muskrat, beaver, mink, lynx and weasles. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson of the Calgary Hides and Fur store of Simpson and Lee often went hunting deer, moose and antelope with them.
Mrs. Oliver was a Charter Member of Rugby W.I., being present at the first meeting in 1913. Mr. Oliver owned one of the first cars in the Rugby District.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Oliver were fond of taking pictures. Mrs. Oliver used a dark part of their basement for developing and printing. They attended dances at houses and schools where Mr. Oliver played the violin to help out with the music.
Mr. Kyle Oliver passed away in 1921 of pneumonia.9
 
Note.A memoir by Bill Brown mentions that for two winters during the war he, Kyle Oliver, Lou Bossart, and Arthur Shantz played for dances. The profits went to the Red Cross.
In 1920, Bill worked for Kyle Oliver. Kyle died that winter of pneumonia and, at his request, Bill worked for Mrs Oliver on the farm. After a year, Bill left but eventually returned to work the Oliver farm and married Minnie in 1925.10
