Re: James Handley CLEVELAND

Hello Sara,
Thank you so much for answering my querie. Your Katherine Malvona was born as Carrie Morrison Cleveland in Manitoba Canada. It has been very hard to connect this family as some stayed in Canada and your branch went to the usa. What I have been trying to find out is info on (Carrie// Kathleen's )sister May Cleveland. I have found a May Jean Cleveland who married John Sluth and settled in Saskatchewan Canada but can't seem to link her to Kathleen. Has anyone mentioned if Kathleen had brothers & sisters?

James Handley Cleveland (m.Mary Elizabeth Fales) is my 2nd great grand father and Kathleen Melvona Cleveland (m. mas Harrison Haley Jr.), his daughter, is my great grandmother.

The story from my Aunt Ginger (DavisV36 on Ancestry) is:

Kathleen Melvona Cleveland was a very good story teller. She was an avid horse lover, & a very good artist. We were told (And my mother Gladys, her daughter) confirmed it, that Kathleen met Thomas Haley in Canada. Kathleen was raised on a horse Ranch.. Gladys confirmed that Kathleen & Tom were in the Circus, she did tricks on her horse ( jumped thru the hoop of fire ) & Tom cooked on the midway. They traveled around with the circus, thus the many different cencus in various states.

After Tom passed away in St Louis, she moved back to the beautiful Ozark Mtns, where she continued to paint her beloved Mtn & animals. She sold a great many to resturants & such. Kathleen also read tea leaves, it was very intertaining. I remember her always having a dog & a horse.

Kathleen was married 4 times, Tom Haley, Dan Scandorph, # 3 no name #4 Bill Germer, he was a fishing guide on Lake Norfork in Arkansas.

I don't know if this helps at all but it's additional information on the Cleveland family side.

I'm doing research on my Barr family tree, Wilfred Ellis would be the great grandson of Margaret Barr and John Sandlons Robertson. Would you know when Constance was born or died?

Re: Wilfred John Ellis, Reston

I also know there was another girl Betty who I believe died quite young. Any info that you could share would be great. My mother June is still alive, out of Ediths 8 children there is only 2 left alive

Re: "Ripples on the Lake" Lookup ?

dcooper740 — 2013-04-12 02:09:13Z

Hi again Turchanski!

George Nelson Leflar (1857-1936) was the older brother of my great grandfather Frederick Stafford Leflar (1860-1935) who died in Roblin, Manitoba. George was the first Leflar in Manitoba (arriving about 1890) where he obtained a free land grant. George N. Leflar and his wife Lucy J. Wray had nine known children - Lucy Ellen was their fifth child and the first born in Manitoba at Shoal Lake on June 9, 1891. I see Lucy Ellen wed Sydney Wishart on August 6, 1913 at Shellmouth, Manitoba. I have nothing more about them due to privacy laws.

I have researched back to George Nelson Leflar's great grandparents. Having accessed Leflar land and court records at the Archives of Ontario, I've found some interesting information not found in census data and vital statistics.

Although interested in doing so, I've not made contact with any Leflar descendants in Manitoba including descendants of my own Fred Leflar and his second wife Ethel Battisby. I am a descendant of Fred's first wife Rachel M. McArthur and our branch remained in Ontario.

If you wish to collaborate, please contact me directly at dcooper7@cogeco.ca.

Yours in genealogy,
Wayne Cooper

Re: "Ripples on the Lake" Lookup ?

Thanks for posting Wayne. Does your LEFLAR line appear in around Shoal Lake in the 1890's?
Looking specifically for Lucy Ellen Leflar, and backwards through George Nelson Leflar.

Re: "Ripples on the Lake" Lookup ?

dcooper740 — 2013-04-11 19:49:42Z

Hi Turchanski!

My grandmother was a Leflar and I've thoroughly researched this family back to their immigration into Upper Canada (Ontario)in 1800.

This is a response to a post that is 8 years old. I hope it still reaches interested parties. My name is Linda Wilton, also of Manitoba. I am very interested in sharing information with anyone from this family. Our line comes from Prima Wilton, as does this one. But we originate from one of his sons, John from another. I have just recently learned of this line of Manitoba Wiltons. Please reply to this post or to lkwilton@mymts.net with any information at all that you may have. I have a large tree on TribalPages that I would love to share. Thank you so much

Hello Cindy,
The Manitoba Vital Statistics searchable online web site at http://vitalstats.gov.mb.ca/Query.php shows the death of a Hazel LITTLE on January 30, 1932 in Brandon. It says this Hazel was 30 years old when she died and was born on June 17, 1901.

Re: Help with ROWE, PALMER family buried Virden or Oak Lake

marib56 — 2013-01-17 17:23:15Z

Hi, I am Mari Bonner the great grand daugter of Chalotte Palmer nee Rowe and grand daughter of Harriet Chalotte Matilda Hughes nee Palmer. Robert Rowe's second wife was Isabella and they had a number of children but prior to moving to Manitoba he was married to someone with the last name of Hadden I believe and they had a number of children. My dad, Melville Henry Hughes was the only child of Matilda (also referred to as Harriet, Charlotte). She married Gilbert Hugh Hughes. He died in 1972 in Winnipeg and she died in 1991 at age 92. Melville died in 2003 at the age of 82. Laura, Matilda's sister died at a young age...I never knew her. My grandma Harriet C.M. is buried at Elmwood Cemetary in Winnipeg.

I am the 4th in a sibship of 5 children between Mel and Eileen (nee Duncan) Hughes. I am interested in researching the fmaily tree.

THE NAME COOK IS QUITE COMMON AS MRS COOK HAD THE HOTEL IN TOWN. IN FACT THE ONLY REAL REMAINS OF ANY BUILDINGS OF BANNERMAN IS THE BASEMENT HOLE OF THE OLD HOTEL. A NEIGHBOUR I THINK HAS A PICTURE OR TWO OF THE OLD HOTEL AND MAYBE SOME OF THE COOKS ARE IN THE PICTURE. ANYWAY IF YOU WANT ANY BETTER INFORMATION I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU OUT. THANKS FOR NOW.

Re: Pictures of Basswood Hardware, Basswood, MB

drydenboy — 2012-11-22 18:09:10Z

The two historical books--with great articles and photos--do indicate that Basswood people care about their past. While the bank/hardware building is now gone, and it was a wonderful building, I really doubt that there would have been resouces to preserve and maintain it properly. It's the same story in many hamlets in Manitoba, not many people left.

I really am proud to be from Basswood. It was/is a community of people that care about their neighbours. For example each home that we visited (six Kihn kids, a big bunch) on halloween welcomed us and gave us treats even though as farm kids we didn't actually live in town. Other great memories: 1970 Centennial Celebration--I remember Mr. Girling buying pepsi soda pops for the Kihn kids, the last year of the local school, a bigfoot scare in 1975--apparently footprints of a "sasquatch" were found near town, fowl suppers in the hall, the talent show and Mrs. Cardy playing Pippi Longstocking, 4H, etc.. It was a wonderful community to grown up in. No xbox or internet, just one TV channel, but we always had things to do outside.
