Re: Some Manitoba History Books
re the Elkhorn book, I wonder if there is any mention of the Faris family, Erskine and Mabel who had a daughter born there in about 1928 or 29.
Thank you Donna Creamore Vancouver BC

Re: Some Manitoba History Books
Hi Marilyn, Am wondering if you could do a lookup for me in the Oak Lake "Ox Roads To Blacktop" and see if there is any mention of Reverend David Miller and family who was a United Church Minister in Oak Lake and possibly surrounding area in the late 1930's on. My e-mail address is alberta@mb.sympatico.ca. Thanks in advance. Alberta Crossley

Re: Some Manitoba History Books
Wondered if you had any information in your books about Boissevain, Man. Joseph Young was a constable in the town in 1927 when "The Strangler", a serial killer went through and was arrested. Joe Young apparently had a hand in the arrest. Anything about of interest about this arrest would be appreciated. Also would love to know what happened to Joseph and his wife Mary Jane (Fitzpatrick/Patrick), after 1927. They are not buried in the Boissevain cemetery and don't know where they went. Thank you.

Re: Some Manitoba History Books
Hello Bonnie, There's a book called "Crimes of the Century" (Manitoba's Most Notorious True Crimes) by Bill Redekop. There's a chapter on "The Strangler" and his eventual arrest in Killarney, MB. Unfortunately, there is no mention of Constable Joe Young in this particular write-up.

Re: Some Manitoba History Books
Thank you so much. I did find one small reference to Joseph Young in the Brandon Free Press - just his name mentioned but that was enough to confirm who he was! Thanks anyway for looking. Bonnie Patrick Elora, Ontario, Canada
