Robert Hutton was born in Durham, Ont., Feb. 10, 1876, Mary Caroline Plutchak was born in Daggett, Michigan, Aug. 29, 1882. As a young man Robert worked in various places to assist his older brother through medical college. The greater opportunity in the United States at the turn of the century attracted him. In Michigan he met Mary at the Plutchak farm while working at her farther's lumbering camps and saw mill. Bob and Mary were married in Michigan May 24, 1902. The lure of the West was beckoning so they returned to Durham to make plans and preparations. Dad went west to scout the areas and subsequently to file on a homestead and to build a shanty near Antler in the North-West Territorie, Saskatchewan after 1905; Section 28, Township 8, Range Three, West of the Third Merdian. Mother then followed with their baby, Evelyn, born in Durham Feb. 1903
In the ensuing years , the young couple managed to build a comfortable pioneer home and to take a very active part in establishing a progressive, closely-knit community. Robert and Mary contributed greatly to the establishment of a church, of the Coulson School District, of a rural tennis club; and worked on the negotiations for a debenture for one of the earliest telephone systems in Saskatchewan. The Star Rural Telephone Company. The early struggles against the power of elevator line companies also absorbed energies of the pioneers. Their home was open to friends and relatives; the itinerent teachers were frequent visitors. The neighbours often sought Mary's advice because of her eye for style and her ability to create attractive clothing from very limited materials. Her five girls have truly appreciated these talents.
When preemptions became available about 1909 , they filed on a quarted section about eight miles north of the present site of Limerick. There they built a dweilling and a small store, but Antler remained their real home. This meant travelling between the two points, in part by horse and wagon as there was no railroad west of Moose Jaw. We have no record of the number of trips the family made but at least one that we know of was made with five children ranging in age from a few months to eight years. Supplies had to be hauled from Moose Jaw for the store and home; this meant long cold trips for Dad and a heavy responsibility for Mother left alone in a lonely land with small children and a store to look after. What good stuff pioneer folks were
But in spite of their high young hopes the West was not kind to Bob and Mary. They lost four sons over the years. The twins died, Harold in 1910 and Gordon in 1912, Ovrville, the eldest, in March 1922, age 17, and David about two months later at the age of two. How could any parents survive such cruel heartbreak and terrible hardships of pioneering and crop failures and still make a warm companionable home for the remaining children? Mother busy with her never ending sewing, mending and knitting, memoiries of games of cribbage, whist, of five hundred around the lamp lit table with the wind howling outside; memories of summer evening tennis games on the prairie grass court.
Newspapers, magazines and books had a dominant place in the household as Bob and Mary followed national and local economics and politics; eg The Grain Growers Guide, The Winnipeg Free Press, The Family Herald, The Leader Post, The Country Gentleman. Meetings of local, provincial and federal organizations were of prime importance and incidentally were a form of entertainment. Bob attended many political conventions and meetings of farmers' organizations in the prairie cities. He also served on local committees such as the Limerick Live Stock Association, 1922-1950- and briefly as Councillor for the Stonehenge Municipality during the Dirty Thirties.
Mary was an example of a woman born fifty years too soon. Her quiet independence of spirit had little chance to be evidenced in those times; but the quality was instilled in her daughters.
In 1928 after a few good crops, Mother and Dad bought the Perry farm, NE1/4 14 and SE 1/4 14-8-3-W3rd M in time to get one good crop before the depression hit. Then no more crops for ten years
