Hi - my father's family came west from Ontario and homesteaded south of Cavendish (Pancras) in 1917. Were there 6 years and never had one decent crop. They returned to Ontario, broke and defeated.
I now live south of Medicine Hat, south of Manyberries. Today my son and I visited what's left of Cavendish - mainly a cemetery. I would love to know more about this pioneer town which once was quite a thriving community. My father's name was Charlie Hisey - his father, Levi Hisey.
