IntroductionIn this year of 1978 reminiscing seems to be the order of the day. Carievale was incorporated 75 years ago this year. The Carievale people are celebrating and naturally there is a lot of old history being hunted up for the event. Carnduff is preparing a book to be edited and sold about the old town and community history. Thunder Creek district is included in this book and I was asked to help with the past history of the district. This took a lot of research. The more I found out about Thunder Creek the more I wanted to know about it. Then one day while shopping in the mall in Estevan I ran into one of my very best friends of years ago&endash; Jim Muldoon. I had not seen Jim for a number of years so naturally he and I and Ed, my husband got reminiscing about the old times. Jim passed the remark that he often wished someone would write a book about Thunder Creek as he always thought it was such a good district. After thinking about it I began to feel the same way. Knowing that I could never write a book I decided to write a few pages and hope some one else would enjoy reading them. I myself think Delbert Wruth family was such a wonderful family to belong to so why should I not write about them? So with Ed's help, hours of research and a lot of "I remember" I have put together the following story. As far as I know everything is pretty well accurate but there may be the odd thing that could be corrected. Myrtle Iles |
