SYDNEY RHOADES MULBERRY - EARLY YEARS: life as a child in the Mulberry family.

In 1890, Sydney's father DAVID MULBERRY and his brother James T. Mulberry bought a J.I. Case separator and a George White engine It took two team of oxen to pull the engine. They traveled many miles threshing, going as far as Foxwarren. Farmers stacked their grain and waited their turn. They moved the machine up and down the point, north of the Hamona school, carrying blocks with them to use to block the wheels on the hill. Coming home from Foxwarren one winter, the separator went through the ice on the Assiniboine River and they had to winch it out. The grain was hauled in bags to Moosomin and a grist was taken to Millwood to be ground for the year's flour.

In 1900 David Mulberry took a steamship engineering course in London, Ontario. He build a large house on the southeast of 22. He married Mary Rhoades of Binscarth in 1904. They had 4 children: Vernon, Ena, Sydney and Phyllis.

After a hailstorm in 1909 he sold the farm and bought the hotel in Spy Hotel, which he ran for 1 year. Dave did carpentry and wood carving while living there, and built some early buildings in town, including the United Church.

People often called on David to help them with their machinery, especially binders.

David moved the family to Brandon, Manitoba and worked as a mechanic for Nichols and Shepard Machine Company; traveling many years for them. He later moved to Winnipeg. His wife Mary passed away on June 5, 1932 and is buried in Omaha, Nebraska.

As a young man, Sydney contacted tuberculosis and was confined to the Sanitarium at Ninette, Manitoba. Later when Sydney was well, he had good times with his friends FREDDIE ADEMS, his brother VERNON MULBERRY and RUPERT FULTZ, the brother of his wife to be. Saturday nights were always a Bean Feed and after roller skating on Longside. Also, they loved to go for Fish and Chips on Ellice Avenue at BRISTOL FISH & CHIPS SHOP.

In 1932 Mary Mae (Rhoades) Mulberry, their mother passed away in Omaha, Nebraska. SYDNEY and VERNON drove their father's 1928 Model A Coupe to Omaha for her service.
