TRANSCRIPT

My grandfather [Bjarni Olafson] came here with his brother [Gudlaugur Olafson] and he was 19 years old and his brother was 17. They came to Sheho because that's as far as the rail went. In 1905 the rail line went to Sheho. So they came there, and came across country, about 60 miles. I don't know if they had a team of horses or a team of oxen or what they had, but they came to the homestead south of Dafoe in September and built a shack and stayed there and lived on oatmeal porridge.
