Anecdote 1911 Mary Greb; "My father ... had an uncle that lived in Winnipeg. ... My father worked for him. Then in 1911 my Dad told his uncle that he wanted to get married. So uncle Chris told my father that he just happened to have a pcture of my mother's family. So my father picked my mother's sister. Then when it came time for Katherine to come to Canada, she chickened out. So my mom told her dad that she would go. So her father said ok, and he said that my mother should take George with her. So she and George left for Canada via Liverpool. But then George got homesick. She telgraphed her father and he told her then to come back, but my mom said she'd send George home to Russia and she was going by herself. She knew uncle Chris when he was still in Russia. So going to the Americas, North US, and South America was like going to Heaven. So my mom was kind of a Picture Bride.

Land banks of the south Saskatchewan River, He both a parcel of land about one mile east of where Estuary is. This was about eight miles north of the original farm, and it seemed that moving the hogs to the new farm was going to be quite a problem. However, his wife came up with a solution with the idea of tying the hog trough to the back of the wagon and putting in a small amount of grain from time to time. The hogs happily followed the wagon and family to the new farm.1

Event-Misc 1916 "Gottfired francois Elsasser, in early 1916, is pleased that the railway has finally come to Estuary [which she previously describes]. He had arrived in Saskatchewan in 1909 and a year later, returned to russia to bring the remaining family members across to the homestead. His daughter Maria Elizabeth... will manage the business."
     A year later, however, a fire would destroy the rooming house and although the elsassers would rebuild at the corner of Amazon St and Railway Avenue, the queens Hotel (in 1920) and in turn, the Palace Hotel (in Jan 1923) would both be lost to fires. Those fires, the removal of the railway, the great depression of the 1920s, and the cruel, unpredictable climate of the dry belt would seal the fate of estuary."2
