Notes:

Henry wanted a full section in one square block because at the time everyone farmed with horses and it was important to have the land accessible from the barn. We assume that he sold the half section in 1928 when he found his full section and || which he farmed until 1950. We are told that Henry was a real horse person and always had the best team in the district.

son Eddie took over the farm and Henry retired to an acreage in Hubalta near Calgary and when he was not fishing, he sold eggs & milk. Eggs were sold to the Holly Cross Hospital and milk was sold directly from the small 10 acre farm.

they visited Nathalia's Wonnenberg family in Colorado and Littau family in Lodi California

became Canadian Citizens.

traveled to England and then to Denmark to attend grandson Wayne's wedding. After the wedding they went to Schwaebish Hall to visit the Ohlhausen family and then on a Rheine cruse and back to England and Canada

had lump removed off his shoulder and it was diagnosed as not cancerous and an operation on 25 Sept.1974 in the same area showed it was fast growing cancer.

Name:
He added an H between his first and last names to prevent his mail being mixed up because his cousin, Henry Ohlhausen, lived close to his farm south of Irvine.

Occupation:
His hobby of fishing kept him busy, going to all sorts of fishing areas in the country. On 13 Feb. 1962 he and his fishing partner Matchett, were in court and fined $50 for being over the limit at a small trout pond.

Immigration:
To date we have not found the date and place they entered North America however stories in the family say that they arrived in Montreal in 1901 and it would be logical that they would join his brother, Anton, who arrived in Irvine, Alberta in 1899. However, again stories in the family say that at Winnipeg they diverted south to check out the farms in North Dakota. We know that a Jakob Tetzlaff emigrated from Tarutino, Bessarabia to North Dakota in 1894 and although we have not found a link from the Tetzlaff family in Tarutino to our branch of that family, we cannot ignore the possibility that they went to North Dakota to be with the family of Wilhelm’s wife, Louise Tetzlaff. The family story goes on to say that in North Dakota family Ohlhausen met a family that had been there for some time and felt the land too rocky and poor to make a living so were planning to immigrating to Canada. We know that the Christian Gill family had been in Kulm, North Dakota from 1894 and moved to Canada in 1902 and took a homestead just south of the Ohlhausen homestead south of Irvine, North West Territories (later Alberta), Canada. It is possible that our family, along with the Gill family, immigrated in Apr 1902, when they both entered their homestead in southern Alberta at the same time.

Census:
and were shown as members of the Adventist church so we assume this was Louise Ttzlaff's preference as the rest of his Ohlhausen family were Baptist/Lutheran.

Role: Witness

Occupation:
In March 1917 he took over his father's homestead farm || The first 4 years were rough as there was not enough rain to raise feed for their 6 cows and 7 horses. They even fed Russian thistle taken from the ditches and still two cows died. The years 1922-24 were better as there was more rain. They drove 25 miles to Medicine Hat every two weeks to sell butter and eggs and get groceries.

Occupation:
They worked hard but did not make much progress on this southern Alberta farm, so in 1925 when John Keim (Nathalia's step father's brother) offered them a 1/2 section of land with a house in the Acme district, they jumped at the opportunity. The Rodney School was close and Eddie was born in this house. A 1927 land map shows that he owned the NW17+SW20-30-27 W4.

Occupation:
They had 15 working horses and had as many as 9 horses pulling a 3 bottom plow. In 1932 they threshed 19,000 bushels of wheat and oats and after selling it did not have enough money to cover the expenses. The wheat was 27 cents a bushel. It was a good farm in the good times when there was no hail and they got the rain at the right time.

Residence:
they moved to 1925 Mount View Cr. NW Calgary and on 31 May 1960 to 2033 Mount View Cr. where they lived until 1974 when they moved to Didsbury, Alberta. After all the years of farming and hard work they could finally just retire.

Heinrich married Nathalia 'Dolly' Koenig on 05 Mar 1917 in Crossfield, Alberta, Canada. Nathalia (daughter of Gottlieb Koenig and Justina Wonnenberg) was born on 24 Nov 1898 in Kronental, North Caucasus, Russia; died on 17 Nov 1982 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada; was buried on 19 Nov 1982 in Didsbury Cemetery, Didsbury, Alberta, Canada.

After her mother's death in 1911, Dolly worked and was raised on her step father's brother's (John Keim) farm until her marriage.
