1152	From The Pine Hill Farm, West Gwillimbury Township, published by Tecumseth and West Gwillimbury Historical Society: William (Red Billy) was very tall like all the Armstrongs, with white skin and red-gold hair. He was the local bandmaster, musical and well read. He was also known as a 'powerful curser.' It is told of him he used to read Plato til dawn and then go out and milk the cows. He was known as "Billy at the Hill" to distinguish him from his cousin, Black Billy in town (Bradford). When Red Billy died his wife Dora Algeo [an error, should read Dora Hastings] (ward of Squire John Armstrong) used to mourn that she had to take care of not only her old mother-in-law with two teeth but also those old drunken reprobates, her husbands brothers, as well as her three sons, Lewis, Henry (Harry) and John (Jack).	Armstrong, William Allen (I01460)
1153	From the research of Earl Hastings Charles Clifford Hastings was educated at Indian Head and Sintaluta. At a very early age he developed a keen interest in race horses, no doubt from having been exposed to them on his father’s farm in the Sintaluta district. He left his father’s ranch, north of Regina in 1921 and became a colourful figure at Canadian and U.S. race tracks for over half a century. He was a jockey until he was injured in a racing mishap and thereafter became a trainer. One of the best thoroughbreds to come under his care was Rochester II which won many races in Western Canada while sporting the colours of the late Jack MacDonald of Winnipeg. Another owner, Stan B. Carver, named a horse “goggles” after Charles Hastings who was familiarly known by that nickname around the tracks because he wore thick-lensed spectacles. It was in 1930 that he last visited his parents at the ranch in Saskatchewan. He is interred at the Park Lawn Cemetery, Toronto, Ontario.	Hastings, Charles Clifford (I05892)
1154	From the research of Earl Hastings Charles John Hastings was raised at Norland, Ontario with probably little education, formal or otherwise, he would have learned the lumber trade working in his father’s mill. Like his brother James, he left home at an early age to avoid his father’s authority and discipline going to Toronto in 1883, “to work on the docks”. Then to the North West to work on the construction of the C.P.R. from Swift Current to Calgary. In 1884 he worked on bridge construction in the Kicking Horse and Rogers Pass and in 1885 took a contract from the C.P.R. to clear 100 acres for the township of Kamloops. He was also employed on the construction of a hotel for the C.P.R. at Kamloops. He returned to Norland in 1886 and with his brother James purchased a saw mill. The Victoria Recorder indicated on October 19, 1888: “The Hastings Bros. Have made great improvements in their mills lately, Messrs. J. & C. Hastings are very energetic young men, and are carrying on a rushing business in the lumber trade.” The Victoria Recorder tells us that on May 13, 1887 Mr. Charles Hastings in a debate in the local school resolved “that single life is preferable to married life and that by strong arguments and vivid illustrations clearly demonstrated that single life afforded many pleasures that were remote to married life”. His arguments must have impressed even Charlie for he would never marry. In 1889 the lumbering trade feel victim to economic depression and the brothers again left Norland dames to Toronto and Charles to the Rockies he loved. He worked at a mine at Kimberly for three years and was foreman at the St. Eugene Mine at Moyie, B.C. He was also employed as a foreman at the Josie Mine at Rossland, B.C. It was hard rock mining in large reserves of copper, zinc and lead. Seriously injured in a mine accident he was hospitalized three months in Rossland and a further year in Spokane. The injury left him with a permanent limp in one leg and he would never again return to mining. He was now content to manage a hotel at Naksup, B.C. The Klondike gold rush called him north in 1899. He unsuccessfully prospected in the Yukon and further north at Nome, Alaska. He returned to Williams Lake, B.C. where he operated a livery stable. In 1908 and in 1909 he cleared right of way for construction of the Jasper-Prince Rupert Branch of the C.N.R. In 1910 he made his way north again driving 50 horses to the Peace River district of Alberta from the B.C. interior. All the horses were lost in a very dangerous crossing of the Smoky River. With his seven companions, (all of whom nearly drowned in the accident) he walked the remainder of the distance to Grande Prairie, Here he filed on a homestead (SW 6-74-4-W6) in the Sexsmith district about 30 miles north of Grande Prairie. Charles John Hastings enlisted August 23, 1916 at Edmonton, Alberta in the Canadian Forestry Corps (1048168) and served in Canada, Britain and France. Discharged at Regina, May 21, 1919, he returned to farming at Sexsmith. In January 1924 he was badly injured in a farm accident and died shortly thereafter in Grande Prairie Hospital. He is buried in an unmarked grave near Sexsmith, Alberta. ----------------------------------------------- Military service, particulars of recruit at http://data2.archives.ca/cef/gpc006/387056a.gif	Hastings, Charles John (I05318)

Elected Bishop by the synod of Diocese of Kootenay, March 10, 1948 and consecrated the third Bishop of Kootenay, April 23, 1948, Canada’s youngest Anglican Bishop. The Nelson Daily News commented editorially on his passing: “His Lordship had an indefatigable missionary zeal and was known generally for the number of confirmations he conducted and for his ability as a public speaker. The fact he was Canada’s youngest Anglican bishop and his challenging oratory placed him in high demand in and out of his diocese. The young family of this devoted churchman will share the sympathies of hundreds who had come to know him in his services across the breadth of Canada." Frederick Patrick Clark is interred in the Anglican Plot, Nelson Memorial Park, Nelson, British Columbia.	Clark, Fredrick Patrick (I05947)

1158	From the research of Earl Hastings It was said of George Hastings that he was born to farm. He rejected schooling in favour of working on his father’s farms in the Sintaluta district prior to moving with the family to “the ranch” north of Regina. At sixteen years of age he worked with his father and was left in charge of farm operations during his father’s absence. His sister Margaret would recall “that on trips to Craven with bailed hay, Dad and my brother would walk behind the load to keep warm. George had to put liriment on his face to keep it from freezing”. He died suddenly at home following surgery.	Hastings, George (I05885)
1159	From the research of Earl Hastings Lillian Hastings was educated at Dinsmore, Saskatchewan and on her marriage to Elmer Mick they farmed the homestead of his father. In the fall of 1934 they participated in a resettlement programme to Northern Saskatchewan. The government transported all of their stock and equipment to Meadow Lake. Elmer Mick told me he arrived in Meadow Lake with $40 and took employment at a livery barn at $1 per day. By the spring of 1936 he had accumulated enough money to make a down payment on a quarter section of land just south of Meadow Lake. It is now the golf course. In 1937 they purchased another quarter section south of Meadow Lake and in 1939 they built a log house on the land. From 1952 to 1963 Elmer operated the farm and worked part-time in a local hotel bar. They sold the farm in 1973 and spent their retirement years in Meadow Lake.
