1. Old Osterwick Cemetery

A closed cemetery with no sign and a sliver of grass to it. Just the way I like to find them. This place could have easily been called weird bendy tree cemetery. Osterwick is a small town of around 40 homes and 100 people. In 1875 it was one of the first Mennonite communities on the West Reserve. Osterwick is German for Easter vetch. The church was decorated in this purple flower at Easter. ...........................................The Isaac Fehrs of Osterwick along with many of their friends and neighbours made their way to the Swift Current area of Saskatchewan when large territories for homesteading opened up. Back in Manitoba, their relatives and friends faced a new problem. The Manitoba Government introduced compulsory school attendance near the end of World War One. The orthodox village farmers were fined and incarcerated for not complying . Soon they migrated to Mexico and the Isaac Fehrs of Saskatchewan soon followed.

2. Grain Ventalator

A very old and very rare vintage grain elevator of probably close to a hundred years next to a road that's older. It is of a much smaller kind then the normal monsters that used to dot the skyline. Even the larger grain elevators are becoming rare. It is on it's last legs and so was I that day. A driveway so far on one side with the new system of grain storage beside. The ye olde grain elevator looks to be the home of several birds now and a small lake and crop in front and swamp.

3. Snowflake Lutheran Cemetery

A sad and lonely closed pioneer cemetery miles, from it's sleepy town, with the last recorded death in 1937. The Fishbook family was particularly hard hit. Signed the book at the gate.
