Spencer Dampier Dyson 1 2 3 4 5 6
My dad (Spencer Dyson) grew up on a ranch just outside of Calgary in Midnapore which has now been swallowed up by the city. I remember when I was quite young and we came to Calgary to visit Aunt Nora and Uncle Ian that he drove us out to where the ranch was. Even at that time the ranch was broken up some but I think the house was still there. Ruth (Dyson) O'Doherty, March 13, 2003
I know that my dad (Spencer Dampier Dyson ) as a child, lived in a town called Zeerust but I don't know if it was a military or administrative post.

To Mr. Alex McTavish
508 -5th Ave. W.
Calgary, Alta.
Dear Mr. McTavish
Thought it might interest some of the Old Timers, if the enclosed snap of Mother ( Mrs. Florence Dyson, nee Hudson of Pine Creek) taken on her 90th birthday June 19/55 was reproduced in the Herald. Mother has now resided here in Kelowna for the past 23 years.
As you can see, she is bright & cheery. & has all her facalities (sic). sight, hearing & senses & can intelligently converse on any topic of the day.
The family had a reunion to celebrate mother's birthday. The first time in 40 years that we had been together at one time.
In the group, standing left to right.
Murial- Mrs. M. Snelgrove, Kelowna, B.C.
Nora - Mrs. J. H. Abercrombie, Calgary, Alta
Nina- Mrs. H. R. Perry - Kelowna, B.C.
Peggy - Mrs. C. B Boyer. Enderby, B.C.
Ella - Mrs. E. R. Cherer, Kelowna, B.C.
Front Row. Terence D. Dyson, Kelowna, Mother, Spencer D. Dyson
Mother had 33 grandchildren, all living, with exception of 2 grandsons killed overseas in World War II.
F/O Kenneth Cherer, killed in action in Italy, 1943
Cpl. Keith William, killed in action in Italy, 1944
There are 22 great grandchildren all living.
Mother has one brother Frank Hudson of Peace River Dist. still living. I understand he is now in Calgary visiting my sister Mrs. J. H. Abercrombie. You might wish to get in touch with him.
There isn't much I can fill in on the S.A.P. Record prior to 1890. Frank Hudson could give you more details of the Hudson family in the early days.
I am a native daughter of Calgary, but don't get down there often enough now.
Hope to make your acquaintance some day.
Yours sincerely,
E. R. Cherer
P.S. Hudson family of Pine Creek
