Notes |
- Archie homesteaded near Westlock, north of Edmonton, NE and later had a dairy operation at Westlock, AB. He had been a cheesemaker in Ontario.
- (Research):Archie attended Kingston Dairy School in Kingston ON before travelling to Edmonton in 1918, He worked at the Woodland Dairy and Edmonton City Dairy before moving to Rossington where he opened a cheese factory across from the Rossington store. While there, he lived on the Brownlie place in a log house on the banks of the Pembina River (NW1/4-14-60-1-W5th). Water was drawn from the Pembina River and there was a lake on the other side of the house.
The family moved to Westlock where Archie worked as a cream tester at the Westlock Creamery. After leaving the creamery they moved two miles east of Westlock to the Edison District where Archie farmed and started a dairy business, Rich Valley Dairy, deliverying milk in Westlock. He later moved two and and half miles west of Westlock (Edison district, on banks of Wabsh R.)) where he farmed and carried on his dairy business (Rich Valley Dairy). Milk was delivered seven days a week, and when short, would return to town (Westlock) after the evening milking to make up for the daytime delivery shortage. During his years of milk delivery he collected over 350 bottles from Canadian and USA towns. He gave the collection to Dick Adkins and were displayed at Dick's mini-museum on hwy 18 west of Westlock for many years.
Archie originally had a herd of Jersey cows and later switched to Holsteins.
After 35 years, Archie retired from the Dairy business in 1959 when he sold to the Northern Alberta Dairy Pool.
Archie and his family lived on the banks of the Wabush until his death in 1964. His wife Thelma continued to live there with her family until her death in 1974. In 1984 their daughters Eileen and Lonetta continued to live there with their husbands.
