Thanks for everyone who came out for the flu shots. We had 68 people. And thanks to Rhonda and Michelle. You girls did good work.
Thanks to Dean Rogers who laid the wreath on Remembrance Day on behalf of the Maymont seniors.
A landmark familiar to people of Maymont and surrounding communities is gone to a new location. The two-story white house on the edge of town will have its new spot in the town of Battleford.
The original owners of the four-bedroom house, William and Agnes Reid, came west to join the brothers who had come in 1907 from Quebec. The house was on the northeast corner of Jim Reid’s quarter, now Cubbon’s.
William and Agnes’s health began to fail. The property was sold to Henry and Bernice Strudwick. Bernice was William’s niece. They lived there until 1956 when once again it changed hands. The George Mclvor family along with his harness racing horses were the next owners. In 1969, after it was vacant for about a year, Everett and Jean Sherman purchased the property and it stayed in the Sherman name until now.
During 46 years changes were made. Village water came in 1970 to replace a cistern, natural gas in 1993 and a deck and west bedroom were added. An early renovation to the basement stairwell revealed a 1917 Leeds, Quebec newspaper.
The house goes with many great memories and good wishes to the new owners.
