Adam moved to Canada with his family in 1891 after his son Michael had come. He requested land at NW 29 16 15 W2 from the Canadian government.

Adelaide (Ida) worked in the Red and White Store for several years and recalls the prices as they were in the late 20's and 30's - coffee - twenty-five cents per pound in bulk; butter - ten cents a pound; eggs - five cents a dozen; bologna - fifteen cents a pound; bread - five cents a loaf and sardines - eight for twenty-five cents. But then too, wages during the depression were five dollars a month and at one time government paid farmers eight dollars a month to keep a man just to pay for his room and board. She married Frank Bullinger and they lived on Dad's farm for four years and moved to British Columbia in 1936. They have five children: Marie (Mrs. Larry Dresher), Francis, Rita (Mrs. Roger Kronquist), Linda (Mrs. John Gallagher) and Sandra (Mrs. Dan McQuade).
