Historia
Crawford Nelson McAusland was born in November 1877 in Ontario to William Crawford McAusland and Frances Hartley. He came to Saskatchewan in 1893 and filed on a homestead at SW 2-45-19-W2 that same year. Crawford built a house and granary on this quarter section and all of the family moved into this house in 1895. Crawford McAusland married Charlotte Robson in 1913. Crawford served on the school board and fair board. Crawford also bred and raised purebred Clydesdale horses. From 1925 to 1927, he showed his farm team at the Melfort Agricultural Society Exhibition and won first prize. Crawford and Charlotte had four children: Lily, Clarance, Eleanor, and Herbert. In 1948, Crawford and Charlotte retired to Melfort. Charlotte died in 1950. Crawford continued to live at his home in Melfort until his health necessitated him moving in with his daughter in 1970. In 1977, he moved to the Nirvana Pioneer Villa. He was 100 years old when he died on December 15, 1977.
