Too much interesting things in Our Harvest of Memories (1983) history book so here are some vital dates.2

Clifford Earby was born 27 April 1895 in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England to Edwin Earby and Martha (Johnson) Earby.

The Earby family immigrated to Canada in 1907 and arrived at Hartney, Manitoba on 27 April. In 1911 the family moved to Redvers, Saskatchewan and in 1917 they moved north and began homesteading in the Foxdale District.

Clifford wed Dorothy Elizabeth Strike of the Three Creeks District on 20 December 1932. Together they had a daughter and a son.
