The Ghost Town - Part II It’s not often you come across an abandoned ghost town, this week we get to see what the time capsule house had to offer. Let’s begin with some exteriors as well as a couple of the items found inside!! After the railway was expanded to the area in 1905, the townsite began to emerge from the land in 1909. There was once a railway station, two grain elevators, a school and a post office which was attached to the general store. Like most of the country at the time the area was largely settled by Europeans, people from Scotland in particular. The general store was closed in 1968 and the post office was last in operation in 1975. There is also a locally known story that the last owner of the general store took his life in the back of the building in 1989. Although I have not been able to find any proof of this, the years following would see many different owners as they would never live there for more than a few years, before once again putting it up for sale. The town was created because of the railway and when it was no longer necessary to have towns along the rail line, the people of the town soon disappeared like ghosts. Today, only three main buildings remain, two houses and the former general store. There are also a few outbuildings further back in the fields. Keith’s parents emigrated to Canada in 1922 from Scotland, he was born in 1928 along with his twin sister. He travelled to school by car in the summer and by horse drawn van during the winter months. Some of his hobby’s included playing kick the can and fastball, he also enjoyed collecting things, such as gopher tails and crow’s eggs. After finishing school, Keith continued farming in the area where he grew up. He moved to this very home in 1977 when he was in his 50s. He spent most of his time farming the surrounding land until he unfortunately had a stroke at the age of 75 and of all days, it was his birthday. Keith would spend his remaining years living in a retirement home while still occasionally returning to the farm to see how his gardens were doing. He would later pass away at the age of 88 leaving all of his personal belongings behind.
