I, June Siemens Buhr, came to Herbert as an infant with my mother, a war bride, after the Second World War. Herbert has been home to my family since its earliest beginnings.

For many years I have enjoyed teaching History and doing historical research in my home community.

The story of Gerhard Siemens and his descendants is an example of many similar family stories in Herbert. There are still many residents who can trace their roots to the first homesteaders.

Gerhard Siemens' granddaughter, June Buhr, has taught in the school in Herbert for many years and her Grade Nine Social Studies class did an assignment to assist with this Community Memories project.
