George Axford , Sr.
Pop-up Pedigree

Note*: George Axford, Sr. was first born to William and Phoebe (Glens) Axford. George built himself a cozy white stucco cottage with a red roof, andreturned to Scotland for his bride. George and Phoebe had two children,Billy and George, Jr. who helped to keep life interesting at theBrownhill School for some years. The Axfords had the first gramophone in the district, a machine with avery large horn, which was fascinating to everyone. George also had thefirst gasoline engine to be used for threshing. He had considerabletrouble with it, particularly in cold weather, and the neighbors shooktheir heads and said that such s contraption would never replace the oldsteamer. Mr. Axford was always receptive to new ideas. At one time he tried out astraw burning stove for heating the house. A few of them were sold onthe prairie, were there was an abundance of wheat straw readilyavailable. They promised to eliminate all those lengthy sessions withthe axe and bucksaw. They merely succeeded in eliminating all domesticharmony. Mr. Axford’s stove produced a great deal of smoke and verylittle heat. The family went about red-eyed and shivering, while thewalls and ceiling began to resemble the inside of a chimney. Refuelingleft a path of straw and chaff, which litter had an unfortunate habit of spreading to all corners of the house. The trialperiod was of short duration. When the Wolseley-Reston line went through, Mr. Axford sold his farm andopened a store in Peebles. He was a man who loved a joke, and possessedof considerable wit. On one occasion his younger son, Geoge, Jr.,brought a young lady home to meet his parents. Mr. Axford welcomed herwith true Scottish hospitality. They sat around the fire, talking and drinkingtheir tea, the young lady with her back to the door, Mr. Axford came inquietly, tiptoed up behind her and gave her a hearty kiss. When the ladystood up, both startled and flustered, he said, 'If you dina like it youcan gie it back.' George’s father (Granddaddy) died at Peeples, a few years later Billy,scarcely grown to manhood, also died. Grandmother, who didn't’t havevery good health and had been gently reared and was scarcely fitted forpioneer life in the cold Canadian weather, which was hard on her, quietlypassed away in 1890 and the two George’s, father and son becameinseparable. Then, at the time of the ‘flu’ epidemic, young Georgesuccumbed. George, Sr. spent his last years in a little shack in theyard of his nephew, William Glen ‘Frank’ Ennis. This account is stated in the book - ‘Grit And Growth, The Story OfGrenfell’, by Annie I.

William 'Grandaddy' Axford
Note*: William 'Grandaddy' Axford had led an adventurous life. At twelve yearsof age he ran away to sea. He spent some years on a whaling vessel,sailing all the seven seas. It was a rough life for a boy, amongchurlish crewmen who often treaded him cruelly. The food was coarse andunpalatable. The profits from the whaler's catch were divided among theseamen, but no share was allotted to the boy. When the ship anchored onthe shore of New Zealand, William deserted. This was an uncivilizedcoast and the only inhabitants of the area were Marois. They took himin, adopted him into the tribe, and he lived with them for four years.Eventually he got passage back to Scotland, where he married Phoebe Glensand raised a family. The family came from Leith, a suburb of Edinburgh,Scotland, in 1883, on the last sail boat to bring passengers over toAmerica, they were on the boat for three weeks, in the month of March andhad a very rough trip. They were able to travel by train as far asBrandon, Manitoba, Phoebe and the two girls, Phoebe and Margaret stayedthere a year, while William and son, George homesteaded in Grenfell,North West Territories. From the Marois William had learned the art ofthatching which he now used to roof the log house he and his son Georgeerected on the homestead. The following year, Phoebe, along with the two girls, came to join thepair. One of the girls, Margaret subsequently married Alf Moore inGrenfell, the other, Phoebe, married John 'Jack' Ennis and had ninechildren (see the book, 'Ennis History', by Jean Agnes (Ferguson) Smith1979, pages 5, 7, 44-82). Phoebe didn't have very good health and had been gently reared and wasscarcely fitted for pioneer life and in the cold Canadian weather, it washard on her, she quietly passed away in 1890. Their log house burned three or four years after they built it and theywere building a new lumber one, but she didn't last long enough to get init. William 'Grandaddy' Axford died at Peebles, North West Territoriesand is buried in Summerberry Cemetery, Grenfell, Saskatchewan, Canada. At this time William's parentage is not known. This account is found in the books, 'Grit and Growth, the Story ofGrenfell', by Annie I. Yule, 1970 edition, on page7 and the 1980 edition,page 7.
