Bs The Wolf family saga comes to an end in Georgetown By John Sommer To Anna Wolf, the far-off city of Hamilton seemed to promise her everything she was missing in the unlovely bush country her father had brought his family to in 1913. Yet, in the years since they moved worked and play In spite of all this, Anna Wolf left to return to the city of her early childhood. Once there, she found a job at the Deering Harvester Grist Mill as a grain separating operator. Not long after her soe a there, the country uae Matheson ad. aul hood.

Paul was not married. He was a furrier who made coats from the furs the trappers brought him: Ernst and Oswald were married and had children. In the later 20’s the old parents of Waldemar Wolf and his three broth- ers came to Canada too, to live in the country all their sons had adopt- ed. Around the same time, Anna’s older brothers, Jack and Oswald, bought their own timber lots only two miles from the family home- stead, where they cut pulpwood during the cold season. These two had families of their own by now. The tenacity and the diligence of all the Wolfs had turned the former wilderness into-a settlement where four generations of one family after the 1992 uprising. They fell in love and married in 1928. The groom had a good job delivering milk with a dairy wagon. Anna Wolf’s dreams seemed to turn into reali In 1931, the reclame s oldest son, Bill Jr.,.was born who, much later, became a popular teacher at our high school . here in Georgetown. But i in 1933, Anna’s dreams came to a premature end. The depression caught up with the Binghams, as with most of the other people of North America and Bill Sr. lost his dairy route. With a very heavy heart they retreated to the Wolf farm in Matheson and moved in with Anna’s parents. Eventually, they got a timber lot on which they built a log house and made a precarious Ideas & the Arts living cutting trees for pulpwood. ere ahead of them. In the long winters their only transportation to and from Matheson, as well as for visiting their many relatives, was by dog sled. One had to be self-reliant in those circumstances, because help and assistance were not just a phone cal] away. A little daughter of theirs died of pneumonia in 1935, adding pain to her parent’s difficult exis- tence. Later than year, Anna gave birth to her second son and that eased her pain about the lost daugh- ter, as she told me a good year ago. In 1938, after five years of hard toil on the timber lot, Bill Bingham got a job as a guard in Monteith, a prison farm 25 miles north of Matheson. Anna Bingham took over a boardinghouse for gold prospectors in Monteith and the Binghams lived with their growing family in the same house for some girl was born in 1939. A year later a second daugh- ter followed, and another son in 1941. In the same year, the prison farm. was tumed into a prisoner-of- war camp for officers of the German navy and the Binghams The Bingham * family moves to Terra Cotta in 1955 had to move again. Bill Bingham senior secured a job as a truck dri- ver for a gold mine in South Porcupine, another 30 miles north of Monteith. In South*Porcupine, Bill and Anne rented a house from the mine in which they lived with their chil- dren until 1955. Waldemar Wolf, the formidable father of his strong-willed daughter, died in 1942. In 1955 the Bingham family moved to Terra Cotta and in 1957 they finally moved into their own house on Emery Street, in Georgetown, where Anna lived, surrounded by her loving children and grandchildren to a ripe old age. She died at Georgetown and District Memorial Hospital on November 15, 1992.
