Mr. and Mrs. Davey and their son Bert sailed from Ipswich, England in 1902, landing in Montreal. They homesteaded in the Silver Creek District near Kamsack (in the 1980's owned by the Merlin Finnies).
"They were tiny little people who built a tiny little log house by the creek. An even smaller lean to contained the bedroom." Mrs. Davey was a midwife.
Both Mr & Mrs Davey died in the early 1930's (depression era) and their farm reverted to the bank. Bert Davey left Kamsack and worked for a time with race horses in Alberta.
Mr. Davey's brother Charles Robert and his wife May Farman Davey (also from Ipswitch England) joined Arthur in Kamsack where they homesteaded on 160 acres. They later owned a livery business in Kamsack and in 1927 moved to White Rock British Columbia. They were the parents of Gladys (1910), Harry (1912), Albert (1917), and Leonard (abt 1922).
