Aunt Jin or Auntie Payton was a great one for spending money and for going to the fortune tellers.
Charlie, at the turn of the century, had a big ranch near Medicine Hat. He sold the ranch after the death of his first wife and moved to Vancouver area to retire. He met Catherine Jane McLeod. They married and lived in Owen Sound until 1911. Then they went west to Saskatchewan - Stone Farm District - and homesteaded N.E. 1/4 of 6-11-15.
