At the turn of the century in 1902, Grandpa moved to Manitoba by himself and settled in Newdale where he met and married my grandmother, Amy Estella Irwin, in 1910.
According to my grandmother, Grandpa Scott first worked in Thomas N. Peter's store. In the 1910s, he was in business operating a general store with W. R. (William Robert) Lavery. This photograph, identified by my grandmother as showing Grandpa (on your right), W. R. Lavery (left) and Jack Kaskey (centre) together, seems to corroborate my mother's information - that he was also in business with at least one other person. I would like to learn more about Mr. Kaskey.

It appears that there was a second photograph taken of the three men on the same day. I've posted that on tmy Newdale Genealogy website today.

I just read that February 3 is your 9th blogiversary, Diane! Congrats and many more years of writing!
I have an advertisement of an auction for a Walter Scott’s farm in the Nottawa area but it takes place around 1860. Would this be a relative to James Walter Scott?
Hi, Anonymous,
This could be his father. I'd be interested to see what you found.
