Biographical Details

Grandpa Fred was born in Renfrew County, Ontario. His father passed away when he was about a year old. At the age of 17 in 1907, Fred went out west to the Eagle Creek area west of Saskatoon. Late in the year he returned to Ontario to convince his mother, Mary and brother, August to return with him. In 1908 they returned to settle in the Avondale district about 9 miles south of Asquith, Saskatchewan. They settled on land they acquired from their brother-in-law, Cecil Seed, who farmed in the Tregarva district north of Regina.

Initially, Fred rented his out land and worked as a blacksmith and custom thresher. He suffered from asthma and often had to sleep in a chair in order to breathe at night.

1908 Postcard to his future wife

See photo of McDougal Building postcard below. David McDougall built the McDougall Block in Calgary in 1906. Grandpa Summach saved a postcard of the building. He mailed it on Saturday, April 18, 1908 to Miss Esther Krieger of Palmer Rapids: "Watch out on Sunday. Coming down to talk to the old folks." Was he going "down East" to ask for her hand in marriage? If so, they waited another 5 years before they were married.

The Farm House

The farm house on Fred's farm was built in 1916 according to Manley Summach. It may have been built as early as 1908 according to other family sources. The original basement was dug using a horse drawn Frisco shovel, and the concrete was poured between the bare earth and internal forms. It had running water and electricity. In 2002, Fred and Laurene Summach were still living in this house, although it had changed considerably through the years. In 2011, it was decided that the house could not be repaired after water damage from the high water table of 2010 and it was subsequently demolished.

I believe that Fred's Home quarter is NE-17-35-9-3 in township 342, but this is subject to verification.
