Return to James Royal Mattice

James Royal and Augusta Left Milles Roches, Ontario with their children between 1908 and 1909. They applied for homestead at Mo???, Swift Current or Maple Creek and settled near Eyebrow in 1909, where Mabel was born. This was listed as section 23, township 22, range 22, and cost, 3.00 per acre. Later they again moved further west to a farm between Abby and Schakelton near the Saskatchewan River. In 1923 they moved back to Milles Roches to await permission to enter the United States after which they settled on a farm not to far from Norwood on the Racquette River. They stayed there until Royal's death in 1952. He was 69.
