School Cairn SCHOOL CAIRN The cover of this book includes a photo of the iron marker situated on the site where the Middleton School once stood. The marker reads “Middleton School S.D. No. 404 1886-1962”. Built by Robert Pauls at a cost of $150.00, the marker was erected in 1979 by a group of people in the district. Alex Young donated a small corner of his property for the marker. Doug, Stuart, Mary and Joyce Young maintain the site.

  • 'Twas Once a Teeming Highway
    ‘Twas Once a Teeming Highway Historical sketches from along The Boundary Commission Trail A Story for Every Mile Volume 4 Researched and edited by Felix G. Kuehn Founding President of the Boundary Commission NWMP Trail Association 1 THE OLD TRAIL A mark there is – ‘twas once a teeming highway. By settlers travel‐trod in days of yore; 'Tis sunk with time ‐ a now‐forgotten byway, A faded track, deep hid in leafy mold; Where one may search in vain and scarcely feel Old scars of hoofs, and ox‐carts creaking wheels. But o'er the golden fields and prairie grasses A little ridge yet marks its onward way, And through old minds the vision often passes Of long, hard trips they made in other days. We have our graded roads ‐ our iron rail, And memory claims "The Old Commission Trail." This life is but a trail o'er which we wander On through the years, as swiftly time flies back, On to Life's goal, towards the bright "Up Yonder," Leaving behind ‐ perhaps a fading track, Perhaps a broad, bright road o'er hill and hollow, Making a pleasant trip for those who follow. To you, Old Timer, these rough rhymes are offered, To you, who knew that trail in days of yore, To you, whose ready help was ever proffered, Cheering the stranger, travel‐stained and sore; Trusting that some crude line may hit the spot, And wake again some memory, half forgot. ‐A.O. Berry The author of this poem was the editor of the Darlingford weekly newspaper, The Comet, from 1908‐1913.

Tennant 1881 Ten articles from the West Lynne Southern Manitoba Times, 10 June 1881 to 20 September 1881, narrating a trip across southern Manitoba with a buckboard; a journey of 440 miles in three weeks, 8 May 1881 to 28 May 1881 Felix G. Kuehn Founding president of the Boundary Commission NWMP Trail Association May 1992 2 18-002 The illustration on the front cover entitled SIOUX BURIAL is based on a photograph from the International Boundary Commission Collection of the Public Archives of Manitoba Thursday, 12 May 1881 ... In the morning with Mr. Gauvreau we took a ramble around inspecting some of the fine sections of land in the neighbourhood bordering on the timber of the Turtle. Here, on one of the highest mounds of the Whitewater Coulee, we came across a SOLITARY INDIAN GRAVE. On four crotches about seven feet high in the air, a rude coffin was elevated and covered with a bright scarlet cloth indicating that he was the son of the Chief of the Mountain. This mode of burial was viewed by my companion with great wonder and astonishment. - Jottings from a Buckboard Section VII The footnotes to this section suggests that Mr. Gauvreau had taken his guest, Mr. J.F. Tennant of West Lynne, to view the grave of a son of H'damani, Sioux chief of the Turtle Mountains. Early settlers recalled that three of the chief's five children died of TB before they were thirty.
