Andreas RUMPEL

  • Andreas RUMPEL
    BIOGRAPHY: This history was taken from information from my Grandfather Christian RUMPEL On May 6, 1891, Andreas and Carolina RUMPEL arrived in Saskatchewan (before 1905 Saskatchewan was known as District of Assinaboine, North West Territories) from Austria, with four children; William, Christian, Karl, and Jacob. The family took up a homestead northeast of Balgonie, Section 30 T.18, R.16, W 2nd S.E. 1/4 section. "In 1895 we left the homestead, which could not be sold, and moved to Texas by train and spent one summer picking cotton. The heat was too great for us from the cold north country so in the fall of 1896 we returned to Manitoba and lived in the town of Gretna. The four boys all went to school that winter and in the spring of 1897 the family came back to Balgonie and to the old homestead with a debt of $160 against it for bringing them back to Canada." "This was in April 1897 and we made a new start. Dad (Andreas) got a job on a farm at $20 a month. I (Christian) got a summer job with a farmer at Edgeley, by the name of Joseph FESSANT, herding sheep and cattle for $5 a month the first year, $6 a month the second, and $7 a month the third year. These were my school days and I learnt alot too"
