  1. Culture Tysdal-McCarverFamily History By: Carson McCarver

  2. Family Stories • Tillie the cook(the family cook)- It was wintertime and 50 degrees below zero. The only heat Tillie had in her upstairs bedroom was from a small register in the ceiling of the downstairs room. Tillie did not get up one morning, as she said she was sick, but everyone assumed it was just too cold. Her blankets were frozen around her face from her breath as she slept, and they even go so far as to say they cracked the ice away to get her out of bed.

  3. Family Stories • The Bed Warmer – To keep warm, Truman Tysdal took a foot warmer to bed, which was a small metal container filled with hot coals. As he slept, the bed caught fire. His brother, Ernest, put out the fire and claims he saved his life.

  4. Family Stories • The Pig – In the fall of the year a pig was butchered and taken to Moose Jaw (Sask, Canada) to sell. No one bought the pig so it was returned to the farm and left frozen behind the stove in the kitchen. In the spring Martin Tysdal arrived from Illinois and his first job was to cut up the pig, fry out 20 gallons of fat and make sausage from the rest, which was delicious!

  5. Family Stories • The Runner – It is told of Orville Tysdal that in the pioneer days of Saskatchewan the big Avery Steam Engine broke down and all work stopped until repairs could be brought from Drinkwater, 15 miles away. The team of horses which ordinarily would be used for such a trip had just traveled 25 miles and were very tired. So Orville took off on a run for Drinkwater and brought back the repairs. He was a sturdy pioneer, and a very good cross-country runner!!

  6. Family Stories • A Trip to the Farm – Julina and Hewitt and their mother went from their home in Moose Jaw to the farm on an errand. As was usual, they packed produce in the car to take back. This time they gathered five dozen eggs, and Julina held them on her lap. A new fence had been put up across the prairie short-cut. Being unaware of this, Hewitt, who was the driver, tried to avoid the barricade and hit the post! Alas, the eggs were scattered all over the car and the occupants, especially Julina.

  10. Family Tradition • Each year for 92 consecutive years relatives from near and far have gathered to renew the loving spirit and harmony of kinship. There was always a good program of song and speeches and greetings from absent members. There was never any age who couldn’t compete in the games of horse shoes, sack races, volleyball, and baseball. It was topped off with tables set for dinner and supper. The women prepared fried chicken, beef, ham, salads, and lots of pies, cakes and coffee. It was a day to remember and everyone went away looking forward to the next year.
