Colonial style, with a big garden. At the rear was a Junk yard operated by my
father, and also a smelter and a brick yard at that time. We lived in a rather
grand style then. Two servants and horses and carriage'.

(5) Carl Godfrey Muller, Autobiographical notes (1973), 'A short time after
that Dad told me 'I got you some sows.' I said 'How many?' 'You'll see' was
the reply. Presently 15 sows came, all due to have litters. There were
Yorkshires, Tamworths, Berkshires and one breed with a sharp nose, black and a
wide belt round the middle. They could go through any fence made. We had a new
fence put round the pig pasture, made by Nelson Hyde, an expert fence man, but
they would just point their nose under the fence and they were through. The
first sow to have her young in a snow storm - at that 11 little belted pigs.
After that there were more coming almost every day - at one count I had 180 pigs
on the place and nothing much to feed them'.
(6) Carl Godfrey Muller, Autobiographical notes (1973), 'I had at times railway
men working with me and listened to the money they were making and so tried to
hire on with the C.N.R. Supt. Culiffe asked me how many children and advised me
to stay where I was. This was in 1916 and it was a poor crop year. I did not
realize how the work on the railway fluctuated from week to week. However I
tried again to hire on in 1918 and was accepted. Passed the doctor and sent to
Regina to work..........I worked on the Dayliner between Regina and Saskatoon
until October '57 and then asked for my pension'.
(7) Carl Godfrey Muller, Autobiographical notes (1973), 'So in the spring of
1934 bought a farm at Edenwold so as to feed my family at least. To go on
relief was out of the question for me. We moved there in April during a big
dust storm so bad we would not see two feet ahead of the car at times'.

(9) ABR, 'Nearly 70 years later, that first grandson arrived in my office in
Victoria, B.C., on some minor matter of law, involving keys to a property.
Knowing that his mother's maiden name had been Russ, he was intrigued to find
the name listed as a partner in the law firm to whom he had been directed by
apparent chance. The family resemblance was striking. He looked so much like
my brother Victor!', 3.

1913 I met Mrs. Highgason's daughter Nita, who had just arrived from England.
We became engaged and married in Oct. 1914'.
