Canora Courier, May 30, 2007 Page 14 – In memory of:

POHOZOFF: In memory of Paul Pohozoff who passed away June 2, 2006.

If tears could build a stairway,

And memories build a lane;

I would walk right up to heaven,

And bring you home again.

-Sadly missed by wife Helen and children and grandchildren.

TRACH:  Michalina 'Lena' Trach of Canora passed away at the Kamsack Hospital on May 16th, 2007 at the age of 88 years. Lena was born in the Dobrowody district to Martin and Mary (nee Paslowski) Matsalla. As a young girl she attended the Dobrowody School while helping her family on the farm. She continued to help her parents until she married Allen Trach on May 15th, 1950 at the church in Dobrowody. Together they settled on the original family homestead northeast of Mikado. They continued farming until 1974 when they relocated into the village of Mikado.

After Allen's passing in 1991, Lena continued to live in Mikado until she became a resident of the Eaglestone Lodge in Kamsack in 2003 where she resided until her passing. Lena thoroughly enjoyed crocheting and gardening but she was especially fond and proud of her family. She looked forward to family gatherings so she could spend time with her grandchildren.
