The Jewell Farm1911
Near Lamerton, Alberta
23
This is the Jewell family farm, near Lamerton, around 1911.The story is that D.M. Jewell bought the Edminson's house from the estate, after Mr. Edminson's death, and moved it and the old Lamerton police barracks 100 yards south of where they originally were, joining them together, creating a farm home.
This home is still on that site and is occupied by the Victor Inions family. This house has the distinction of being the only remaining evidence that Lamerton ever existed.
This photo is that home.
