  • Notes 
    • "George Findlater came to the south Carlyle area in 1898. He obtained E 1/2 13-3-3 W2 as a land grant from Canadian Pacific Railway in 1900. He came from Manitoba and John Doty who knew him in Manitoba, stayed with him when he first came to this area. Jim Dover made his home with him for many years.

      He sold his land to Elmer Doty and lived in a small house on the creek quarter of NE 13-7-3 W2. Because his health failed he went to Joan of Arc Nursing Home at St. Hubert. He died there and is buried in Moose Creek Cemetery.

      George Findlate was known as a kind neighbour, helping out many. His name is found on early football teams and other clubs at Carlyle. Jim Dover is buried at Moose Creek Cemetery."
