Memorial sent to her sister Mabel Hutton Sefton:
Myrtle Allewell 1963-64
In 1964, when Myrtle Allewell was president of WWTA, I was still in high school. Since the Allewells were close family friends, I had the benefit of Myrtle as a role model throughout my childhood. My family has many cherished memories of times spent with Myrtle, her husband Alex, and their daughters Norma and Joan.
Myrrtle completed her teaching training in Saskatchewan. Her teaching career with Wentworth County was spent at Dundas Central and Central Park Schools. Myrtle lived in the Central Park survey and walked to both schools. I had input from two of Myrtle's colleagues-Evelyn Smith and Betty Bethune. They remember Myrtle had great insight to any problems her students might be experiencing. Her daughter, Joan remembers her mother tutoring a student at her home because she realized his self-concept was suffering, was well as his marks. According to Myrtle's colleagues, she also had great insight into the strengths of her student teachers. She would also have many practical suggestions for any areas of weakness.
It is not surprising that little is known of Myrtle's role as president. No doubt, given the character traits she exhibited in her personal and professional life, it was handled with efficiency and without fuss. Myrtle was a doer not a talker. Myrtle practised recycling, failitating, time management and had a concern for the environment, long before they were in vogue.
Myrtle Allewell is only one of many women of character and commitment, who have made our local WWTA the organization it is today.

Mabel Hutton married William Sefton on Dec. 27, 1938. William was born Nov. 22, 1911 and died June 21, 1983.
Mabel was a teacher for about three years prior to her marriage. She and her husband William Sefton farmed near Dubuc. they made their home on the farm or in Regina before retiring to Broadview and later to Saanichton, BC. Two of the sons, Rober (Bert) and David have farms near Dubus in the Qu'Appelle Valley and they also manage a farm equipment business. Bert and his wife Shirley, formerly a teacher, have three children, David, the youngest of the Sefton sons, and his wife Pauline, a librarian in a Broadview school, have two sons, Edward (Ted) graduated with a doctorate in the science of agriculture.

Thomas William Sefton and Flora Mabel Llweyn Hutton were married at the home of Robert and Mary Hutton at Limerick, Sask. on Dec. 27, 1938
Will, as family and neighbors called him, was born Nov. 22, 1911 at Dubuc, Sask. He was the middle child and only son of Thomas and Matilda Sefton. He and his sister went to both Cotham and Larson schools, Cotham in the summer and Larson in the winter, this mad the attendance at both schools large enought to keep them both open. Weill went to High school in Dubuc, then to the School of Agriculture in Saskatoon fo two years. He worked on the farm with his Dad for a time, then took a business course in Regina and worked in a bank in Moose Jaw. The call of the farm was too great for Will to be satisfied with a nine to five job. He went back to the farm and worked with his Dad until his marriage when his Mother and Father retired to Dubuc and Will and Mabel made their home on Balderstone Farm as his folks had named it.
I, Mabel was born at Limerick, Sask. , Oct. 29, 1917. The youngest daughter of Robert and Mary Hutton. I was raised on a farm and attended Limerick school for my public and High school education. I got my teacher's certificate from Regina Normal School, then taught for six months near Flintoft. This was in the dirty thirties when a lot of districts gave the teacher promissory notes for most of their salary, so when an offer came to apply to Cotham and receive all my $385.00 a year in cash, I thought I was rich My first afternoon in the district I walked down a snow-filled road to see my new school, Will was returning home on horseback from a day of hunting coyotes when we met in a snowbank. Thus began the rest of our lives.
Will and I lived on Balderstone until 1945. We started farming using horsepower. The steel seated implements without springs were not the best thing for a sore back, particularly on stony ground. Will had a serious back problem so in oreder to continue farming we bought a farm in the valley (Qu'Appelle Valley), free of stones.
While we were living on the home farm, Robert Thomas (Bert) was born Dec. 3, 1939, Arnold Edward (Ted) was born Aug. 5, 1942, Donald William (Don) was born June 19, 1944, the year after we moved to the valley David Bruce was born Sept. 26, 1946.
Will was always a community minded person. He was secretary of the Dubuc Pool committee and the Telephone Board. He was a founding member and one of the main orgainzers of the Dubuc Co-op board. After we moved to the valley , he was on the Broadview Co-op board. When the boys started school, he acted on the School board. He served on Church council everywhere we lived.
Don was an RH baby. He hemorrhage when he was four days old and the blood clot came to rest at the base of his brain resulting in Cerebral Plasy, which affected his motor movements and his speech and hearing. To get professional help for him we moved to Regina in 1950. Will worked the farm from Regina the first year but found it unsatisfactory so we rented it and Will worked at a variety of jobs. He really wanted to farm so in 1954 we moved back to the farm.
We tried having Don in a boarding home to continue attending the Rehabilitation Centre but this was too hard on him so in Nov. 1955 we moved back to Regina. Will worked for a heating firm. He was president of the Parents Group and on the Provincial board of the Saskatchewan Council for Crippled Children and Adults. I stared a classroom for the Physically Handicapped on a volunteer basis to prove the need to the School Board, the next year they opened a class for them. I was offered the teaching position bu declined as Llweyn Mary was born Nov. 25, 1957.
In 1958 , for financial reasons we decided we had to look after the farm ourselves. Will went out in early spring and I waited until the end of June when the kids were through the school year before I moved. While there was still snow on the ground, Will was buning off the long grass when the fire got away and burnt the shop with two tractors and all of Will's tools. What a loss Somehow we survived and carried on.
Bert had completed his High school and he worked on the farm that summer then took a job in a bank in Regina. The next spring he decided he wanted to farm so he completed a course at the School of Agriculture in Saskatoon, then bought the Len Norman farm next to us and we farmed in parnership.
Ted completed his High school in Broadview and worked in the bank in Regina and Thompson, Manitoba before obtaining his BSc in Agriculture in Saskatoon, his Masters at McGill in Montreal, and his Doctorate in Virginia.
Don worked in the sheltered workshop in Regina until we moved to BC.
David completed his Public School at Chotham and his High school in Broadview. He drove transport trucks out of Saskatoon, then decided he wanted farming to be his life. He bough the Don Norman farm and we all farmed together.
Llweyn went to Cotham school until it closed in 1967, so Will and I built a house in Broadview so she would be close to the scholol and farmed from town.
During our time in Broadview, Will served as church treasurer as well as on the Board of Qu'Appelle Valley Conservation and Development Society, Qu'Appelle Valley Farmers Organization until we moved to BC in 1974.
We retired early and came to BC. to look after Will's mother, who was alone and needed care. Llweyn completed her high school in Claremont, then worked in a bank and lived at home until she married Jim Friars in 1976. Don worked at Arbutus Crafts until 1990, he then attended the Victoria Vocational College until it closed. He lived at home for about three years when we first came out, then he moved to Nigel House, a boarding home for the disadvantage for six years. From there he lived at Sutton House, a group home for three years when he decided he wanted his own apartment where he is much happier. He is close to Beacon Hill Park and enjoys riding his three wheeled bike there.
Will and I became members of the Victoria Lapidary and Mineral Society. Will became very interested in cutting and plishing stones, in facetting, and in silverwork. He made beautiful jewelry and spent many enjoyable hours designing and creating a variety of pieces. Will also looked after the club machinery at Garth Homer and taught lapidary to the workers there. We bought a motorhome and found a lot of the fun of rockhounding was in weekend trips with the club. The friends we made through the club have been really treasured.
Sadly it was on a field trip to Drumheller that Will died very suddenly of a heart attack on June 21, 1983.
Life has changed, I lived in our house in Saanichton until 1990, when Llweyn and Jim bout it and I moved into a condo in Victoria. I have kept myself busy. I have volunteered at Garth Homer for twenty years ans served on their board for three. I was secretary of the Board of the Victoria Career Development Society and I ahve been treasurer at our condo for the past four years. I'm not an artist , but a group of us have been meeting at a friend's home doing copper enamilling during the winter months for several years. We enjoy the company and have a lot of fun together. I have also made some good friends in the condo.

Traveler at 90 looks to Alaska for stop in '66
Mrs. Alice Hutton of Vancouver, B.C., who left Escanaba today after visiting friends here, has a philosophy about growing old gracefully that is an equally sound recipe for happiness at any age.
Smiling, vivacious and gay at 90, she believes that older people are nice to have around--if they "don't sit back and grumble and growl at life"
She has worked hard all her life and she likes it that way"Working keeps you from worrying" And to worry is a waste of time. she says.
Her employment has ranged from girlhood jobs in London, Ont. where she was born Alice Galbraith in 1875 to the care of 83 year old invalids in Vancouver recently.
She talks about herself only when she is prompted, because she is so much more interested in other people. And she is least of all interested in discussing her age. " My years fly by faster than a weaver's shuttle" she quoted form the Book of Job.
Here in Escanaba she was the guest (she left today by bus for Vancouver) of the John B. Frechette's , 629 S. 14 th St. She is a sister in law of the late Dr. Thomas Hutton who was in practice of medicine at Powers, and it was at Powers that she was a guest last weekeng"at a lovely garden party, like the one they had when I was here five years ago.
She has traveled widely, coming here from Flint after visiting her brother, Dave Galbraith (he is 92) at St. Petersburg, Fla. There are two other brothers Edward 78, in London, William ,76, Washington, D.C. and a sister, Jesse Arnott, the "baby" of the family in Vancouver.
"I'm planning on going to Alaska next year," she said, smiling with anticipation, "I have some friends up there and I want to see what that frontier country looks like."
Besides her philosophy about the value of work and enthusiasm for life, Mrs. Hutto believes firmly in the helpfulness of prayer. "Prayer sloves a lot of problems for me." she said.
Healthful diet is another contributor to a long and happy life, she says.
"Apples are good for me, You've heard that an apple a day keeps the doctor away?" Well, several apples keeps the undertaker far off, too "
"Drink buttermilk. Drink some every day if you can."
And last of all, she believes in eating sparingly of everything. "People eat far too much. The hospitals are full of them."
