Notes Strathclair Museum accepted four scrapbooks from Elsie Berry of Lions Manor in Brandon. Elsie started clipping and pasting items of interest from papers in 1984 and made seperate books for Strathclair, Birtle and Brandon. Elsie was born in 1915 to Joseph and Hannah McCutcheon who were early pioneers in Strathclair. Tehy lived near The Bend on the top of the Little Saskatchewan River. Elsie speaks often of the importance of the river in supplying recreation, water for her Dad's Hereford cattle, moisture for the grassland and the blocks of ice that were cut, covered in sawdust and stored in the ice house to be used for refrigeration. Elsie's brothers and sisters were Elwood, Hazel, Mabel, Bill, Art and Russ. Elsie moved to Birtle in 1941 to work in the T. E. Morris store, then in the drug store for Leroy Dutton. She married Art Berry in 1944. They rarmed for 15 years then moved to Birtle in 1959, then to Brandon in 1972 where she worked in KMart. Elsie hopes that these books will be enjoyed.
