Edward Arthur Krienke (M)
b. 11 March 1885, d. 28 January 1964
Edward Arthur Krienke Eddy and Emma did live in Wash. for a while according to Oran (Aug. 22, 1999) as he thinks they came back to Sask. by Ox team. This is quite possible, since Amelia died in Wash. on 19 April 1907 just six weeks after Eddy and Emma's marriage in Lemburg. As Eddy was living at home up to then I assume he returned after the wedding or at least for the funeral.
From Walter's writing, he claims he visited Eddy and Emma in Newport, Wash. and the date was Mar/Apr 1909.
Eddy had an affair with an Emma Shaw (more than an affair I guess as they lived together the rest of their lives). Emma Shaw was the mother of Art Krienke's wife Mildred. This happened just before, or was the cause of Gramma Krienke (Emma, as well) moving to Fort Frances. It is possible other relatives were already there since Wendell gave me a picture of Art and Mildred on their farm in Pinewood taken in 1931. In the end Art and his family and Dorothea, Freeman and Emma Krienke all ended up in Fort Frances, and the two groups did not speak to each other over the affair. Wendell told me (Jan 99) that it disrupted his family as well and it was not until after Eddy's death in 1964 that he visited with his Grandmother Emma Shaw (several other visits took place until her death in 1978).
Eddy, later in life, worked in a sawmill in Sask. and when the mill was moved to Creston, B.C. he moved with it. At this time he was still with Emma Shaw. I have her name as Emma, but it seems when she was with Eddy she went by "Lil". It seems they did have children.
From a letter written by an Aunt Luella.
Edward Krienke was born in the USA on the 15 of March 1885 (we have the date as the 11th). He filed on a homestead (in the Southey area) N.E. in June 1910, and also got the N.W. quarter section. He had moved here with his wife Emma and two sons, Art and Henry. They lived in a sod house for the first year (I think longer, judging by the picture of Dorothea). In the fall Ed would go to Southey, Sask. and help with the harvest, as he had relatives and friends living there.
Ed and Emma and the rest of the family left the homestead around 1915 and moved to Southey. According to the archives in June 1927 a letter from the Dept. of Agriculture commended that ED. Krienke of Sylvannia Sask. be permitted to cancel his homestead status so that he could apply for another homestead in the Sylvannia area.
In 1955 Edward was living in Creston, B.C. *see above) as he applied for proof of age in order to apply for Old Age Pension.
Edward and Emma had four children, Art, Henry, Dorothea and Freeman. The two eldest attended Bissett school while living at their first homestead. Bissett school is about 8 miles from our old farm in Simmie. This is written of in my Simmie book of 900 pages. Have you any idea who they are? they must have been related to Albert (your Dad).
It doesn't say where he (Edward) was born in the USA. (Someone wrote in Portland, N.D.)
Letter is then signed "Aunt Luella".
