Hi

In Phillip's obit it says of "Haven Rest". Haven Rest was a home for the aged.

He appears on Canada's Voters Lists 1957, 1968, 1972 at Haven Rest.

You may have this, from the Leader Post newspaper, Jan. 28, 1949, page 5, the wedding announcement for Alfred, son of Mr. and Mrs. P. Meyer, of Young, Sask. and Bernice Hazel Barnholden, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Barnholden of Moose Jaw, Sask. married Jan. 19, 1949.

Hi,

From Find A Grave, Regina Saskatchewan with photo and obit for Alfred. The obit gives his parents as Philip Meyer and Elizabeth Lindgren. **Note, Alfred's siblings are listed with the last name Lindgren.

Saskatchewan is a difficult province to research in, they like to keep their records very close to
their chest  ???. 100 yrs. for births, 70 for deaths, and marriages are still unavailable (and have been that way for years).

Morning Sandra,

Thanks for spotting that and reposting it. Was working when I posted it and for some reason it decided to get lost.  :)
