Edwards (born 1822, died 1906) and (married ca. 1870) Phebe Owens, (born 1838 in Wales, died 1910) Phebe Owens and her brother Louis were brought to America by their mother, Charlotte (James) Owens. Charlotte was the youngest of seven children all of which worked in the tailor shop of her father. She had married a Mr. Owens, who worked for another man and thereby was an inferior. She was disinherited by her father for marrying beneath her social station. To be anybody in Wales in those days you had to own your own business, not work for someone else. Enroute to America the boat hit an iceberg near Newfoundland. The crash caused Charlotte to hit her head thereby causing a loss of memory and she was not able to recall the address of her deceased husband's brother. The brother in New York had sent for her to bring up his children along with her own. A man on the
boat named Phillips helped them into a lifeboat and they finally reached shore in Canada. The long exposure to the cold and wet weather brought Charlotte down with pneumonia. Mr. Phillips saw to it that they all were cared for until Charlotte recovered. The time spent together followed into marriage and they made
their way to Wisconsin. Charlotte James Owens Phillips was born in 1816 in Wales and died in 1896 in Children To give credit where credit is due and to record what might otherwise be lost it should be mentioned here that Elizabeth Edwards had three brothers: Tom, Jack and Jim, and two sisters: Edna and Charlotte. Tom had a daughter Evelyn; Jack had two daughters, Charlotte and Shirley; Edna married an Olden and had a daughter Genevieve. Genevieve Olden married a Knapp and lived her later years with her cousin Evelyn until Evelyn died. Genevieve Olden Knapp was the contributing angel that provided most of the information on this branch of the family. All of our thanks to a real nice person, now also gone, but truly remembered. 4.

Naturalized a Canadian Citizen Apr. 1, 1913 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (Cert. # 7273), married Oct. 14, 1903 East Grand Forks, Polk Co., MN, Clara Amelia Gilbertson, born May 18, 1883 East Grand Forks, MN, died Feb. 26, 1972 Edmonton, Alberta, interred Rife Cemetery, the daughter of Louis (Lars) Gilbertson, born Oct. 26, 1850 Norway, died Jul. 31, 1928 Rife, Alberta, interred Artland, Saskatchewan, Canada, married Oct. 25, 1880,Sarah Ann Lind, born Mar. 16, 1861 East Grand Forks, MN, died Mar. 20, 1931 St. Paul, Minneapolis, MN, interred Artland, Saskatchewan. Frank was one of the early pioneers to settle in Northern Alberta. About the end of 1905 he got the urge to see new frontiers and left Minnesota with a team and wagon, some household items, a tent, a cow and a few chickens, in search of a new home for his growing family. Going by way of Kalispel, Montana, he decided to head north into Canada. Somewhere along the way, probably in Wetaskiwin, where he stayed for a spell, he was joined by his wife and two children. Clara had stayed behind to await the birth of their first son, Leland, in East Grand Forks, MN. Frank first took a homestead on the Iron River but it was not really what he wanted. Again heading North the family came upon an Indian encampment on a hill overlooking Bangs Lake near Rife and paused in their journey. With the winter of 1908-9 approaching, Frank located the place he had been searching for as a homestead, a site in the Rife Valley. Living in a tent in December of 1908, the 3rd. child, Raymond, entered into their lives with an Indian woman acting as mid-wife. It was on the way north when passing though Vegreville that they heard homesteads were available north of the Saskatchewan River. Having chosen his site he began to build a log cabin for his family and a barn for the livestock. When Spring came in 1909 he made his way back to Vegreville to establish his claim and file on the land. Over a thousand miles from their starting point, they now had a new home. Being pioneers, enduring many hardships and setbacks, working the land became a family project. Soon others heard of the family cabin. Travelers and Freighters began stopping off there enroute to their destinations. At the cabin they could rest, feed and bed their teams, obtain a warm supper and a hearty breakfast before pushing on their way. It was not uncommon to have as many as thirty people packed into the small cabin, swapping yarns, a few tall tales, and their experiences along the trail. Clara and Frank, helped by the children, continued to provide this shelter, warm hospitality and cheery atmosphere of good food and friendship around the Old Box Stove with its tamarack or jack pine logs crackling inside, for many years. When the railroad was pushed through to Bonnyville in 1927 the old place changed, traffic slowed, but the family continued to operate this "Stopping Place". Son, Leland, took over the major tasks and after his marriage to Ida they kept the place running well into the 1930's. Now and then Ida would find a tip tucked under a cup or plate, which really helped the income. Frank moved about the time the railroad arrived to start a new homestead in Franchere where the family remained for seventeen years. About 1944 he wanted to see what was called the "Caribou Country" in Britsh Colombia. They discovered that home was much better. Their family and many friends, and the love of the area, drew them back to Rife where they remained until Frank died. His son Raymond and wife Viola, their children and grand children, Leland's daughter Phyllis and her family still live in the nearby area. Children 7.
