Ed did a very pioneering thing - he went to Calgary, Canada, in the early 1900's. The railroad was just going through Canada. Opportunity to homestead was a great motivation. Ed thought it was really nice there and later invited Emmet and John to come to Canada also. So, Emmet and his family went to Canada by railroad, along with John Bastin and his family. While they were in Canada Emmet broke his hip while ice skating, and walked with a limp thereafter. Gladeth hauled him home in a wagon. Harvey was around 16 at this time (ca. 1904). The family filed homestead claims, and possibly paid for some land.

After about two years of this, they got tired of chopping trees, and Emmet and family moved back to Kansas on the freight train. They returned to Miami County, Kansas. Ed stayed a year longer in Canada.
