Notes for Humphrey DAYMANx

came to Canada in 1842; was youngest of his family of 7 children when they came; third family to settle where Exeter, Ontario now stands; came to Whitewood, North West Territories (now Saskatchewan) in 1888 with 9 children (info from Whitewood history book); Windthorst history book says 1890; obituary says 1891; 1888 seems most likely according to age that Bernice's mother Ida remembered; last of his nine children was born in 1886 in Exeter
Obituary from Whitewood newspaper: "The death of Mr. Humphrey Dayman, on Tuesday of this week removes from the district one of the early pioneers at the age of 73 years 10 months and 12 days. Deceased has been in failing health for more than a year. The late Mr. Dayman was born in England and was the youngest member of the family when his parents migrated to Canada about 71 years ago. Previous to coming to the West he operated a farm near Usborne, Ont., and in the spring of 1891 moved withhis family to Whitewood district and settled on a homestead two miles east where he has since resided, with the exception of a few months having moved into town last fall. Possessing a quiet and genial character he was highly esteemed by the manyfriends who knew him and especially beloved by his family who have now reached the age of manhood and womanhood of whom the members are Mrs. H.A. Wiley, Mrs. J.L. Lamont, of Whitewood, William and Mrs Jas. Butt, of Saskatoon, Mrs. F. Size, Esterhazy, George and Peter of Windthorst, and Edwin, who now resides on the old farm, Mrs. H.B. Aikens, of Winnipeg, who died some years ago was also a member. These, with Mr. Dayman's partner in life, who though advanced in years, enjoys the best of health, are left to mourn his loss, all of whom were present at the funeral, which took place this afternoon to the Whitewood cemetery. Rev. R.H. Gilmour, pastor of Knox Church, officiated and conducted service at the family residence. The heartfelt sympathy of very many friends and relatives will go out to the bereaved family in their hour of mourning."
Russell and Merle Dayman say “Doctors told Humphrey he would not live long if he stayed in Ontario so they moved to Saskatchewan in 1888.”
From Terry Lee: The homestead was the NW quarter of Section 10 of Township 16 of Range 2 West of 2nd meridian, or NW-10-16-2.
