History
Joseph Hinde was born in 1862. He married Martha Wake in Derbyshire, England in 1889 where the family was a member of the Fritchley Meeting (of Quakers). The Hindes were originally situated in Birmingham where Joseph Hinde was a coal worker and furniture mover. They had eight children: Edith, Leonard, Joseph Edward "Bob", Alfred, Winifred, Henry "Harry”, Elizabeth "Elsie" Linell, and Lydia "Daisie" Margaret. The family immigrated to Canada between 1911 and 1912 and settled near Borden Saskatchewan, where they became members of the Halcyonia Meeting of the Society of Friends. Their elder children Edith and Leonard immigrated a year ahead of the rest of the family. Once settled, the family operated a successful livestock business named Valley Springs Ranch. Initially the farm was operated by Bob Hinde (who had previously worked at Cadbury chocolates in England), however after developing severe hay allergy, the operation was taken over by his siblings Harry and Elsie. Jim Olynik (who was raised on the farm) later purchased Harry’s portion and operated it for many years, before selling to the donor, David Horn (also raised for many years on the ranch).
