James Dance was the 3rd postmaster in Freedom.
James Dance - - 1919-03-19 1929-11-22 Resignation
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/archivianet/post-offices/...In The Trails Northwest: a history of the district of Barrhead Alberta, 1867-1967, pg. there's a note about James Dance who came from England with his wife and 4 sons about 1908.
http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=4188Also see The Golden Years
http://www.ourroots.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=4191 where pg. 155 mentions James Dance reaching the age of 99.
I take it that Beatrice was James Dance's second wife.
You can find Beatrice in the 1881 census for England.
