SEVENTH GENERATION

960. Ebeneezer Buchanon BREMNER⁽¹⁴⁶⁾ was born on 25 Sep 1899 in DeWinton, AB, CAN.⁽¹⁴⁶⁾ Notes for EBENEZER BUCHANAN BREMNER:
From the book Sodbusting to Subdivision-DeWinton & District-Foothills, pages 362-365, written by Eben Bremner:

I was born September 25, 1889, in Calgary and was raised on a homestead at Pine Creek (now De Winton, since the railroad went through). I grew up there on the SE 1/4-2-22-1-W5 and attended school at both the old Pine Creek and the Melrose School. I worked on the old place until I was 21 and then left for a few years.

I had teams working for the city and also hauled sand from Mission Hill. Fred Lowe, a real estate man used hydraulic water pressure, washing the clay from teh sand and flooded the flat known now as Roxboro, and made it a residential district. The sand was hauled to large building sites on 8th Ave., Canada Life Building was one of them. I had two four horse teams and dump wagons and a very good man to work with me.

In 1914, I bought a car and ran a taxi service for a time. In 1915 and 1916 I ran a large threshing machine for Tony Beggs, east of Queenstown. It was a large 40-80 gas tractor and thirty-six inch separator. We had a sixty day run in 1915, the year of bumper crops, and in 1916 there were lighter crops and we had only 30 days.

In the winter of 1916 I moved to Gleichen and ran the repair shop for the Ford dealer, Mr. McKee. In 1919, I got a farm lease on the Blackfoot Reserve, southwest of Cluny, on the south of the Bow River, and farmed there till 1923, when I returned to the home place. After selling my lease on the reserve, I rented the Tyson section, in the Melrose District and farmed it along with the home place. When we sold the homestead in 1947, I sold my stock and equipment and moved to High River where I operated a service station and bulk oil business for 5 1/2 hears. During this time I bought a half section farm, two miles east of Cheadle, which I operated.

In 1957, my first wife, Cynthia, passed on and in July of 1958, I married Rhoda Stormes from St. Thomas, Ontario. She was a widow with two sons. We stayed at Cheadle until 1963, when, due to poor health, we sold out and moved to the Crescent Heights District of Calgary, where we still live on 7th Ave. NE. Our oldest son, Dan, is a diesel mechanic and welder and lives at Salmo, B. C. The second boy, Charles (Chuck) has his own saddlery here in the city and lives in teh small Standish house at the top of Pien Creek Coulee.

I am an associate director for the Calgary Stampede and in charge of getting teams for parade work, which is a job I have been doing for the past eleven years.
