| Commentaires : | a) On the bottom written in pencil it tells of receiving this from someone at a Macabee Hall pie sale on Dec 23, 1912. Below this written in ink it says "Old Mike shot Aug 1912. We came to Sask. 1913. Left Nova Scotia Aug 14, 1913." Old Mike was a horse who belonged to Curry Spidle's family, but he was not only a member of their family, he was a member of the neighborhood and furnished transportation for many. He was a sorrel with a white face, and in his young days he was quite a familiar figure in the winter horse races on the ice of New Germany lake. He plowed and narrowed fields, cut, raked and hauled hay, dragged logs from the woods to the lake shore, hauled lumber from the mill to he yard and from there to the store to pay the grocery bill. He hauled firewood from the woods, and provided the families only means of transportation. He transported them to the stores, picnics, and the station when family members were leaving or coming home. |
