• Notes

  From the book: In "Kelwood Bridges the Years" on page 266, their son, Roy, gives us this account of their movement: About 1883 they left Canada and settled at Bottineau, North Dakota, travelling by covered wagon and oxen.  I remember Mother and Father telling of the Riel Rebellion and how frightened they were. Bottineau had a fort and one night we were awakened about midnight and told that the Indians were coming.  Everyone fled in their night attire, hitched up the horses and rode for the fort.  They said you could hear the wagons coming for five miles.  They sent scouts out to investigate, who found only an old Indian and his squaw down by a lake.  Beatrice and Bert were born in the States.  In 1892 theyreturned to the Portage Plains, again travelling by covered wagon; there were no bridges, and had to ford all the rivers.  They came to theGlensmith district and settled on the NW 1/4 12-19-15 later the Tremain farm.It was here that my brother Jim and I were born."
