     He was born on 7 January 1890 at Rosenthal, Radcliffe Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada.^{8,9,10,5,11,6,7,12,13} Alternatively, he may have been born in January 1889 at Ontario, Canada, according to the 1911 census.¹⁴ Fred married Esther Krueger on 7 January 1913 at Palmer Rapids, Raglan Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada, according to Ontario Marriage Registration 013565.^{15,4,16,11,12,13}
     Other information from their marriage registration:

     Frederick Summach died on 19 January 1972 at 611 Dufferin Avenue, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, at age 82. Uncle Kenneth found him sitting in a rocking chair. (I originally documented that it was Uncle Manley, but have recently been corrected - May 2020.) At his side were Esther's purse and shoes. He had kept them since her passing in 1945.^{17,8,9,18,19,20,21}
     The following selected information is extracted from the obituary of Frederick Summach.
     Frederick Summach was buried on 24 January 1972 at Asquith Cemetery, RM of Vanscoy No. 345, Saskatchewan, Canada.^22,23,20
     His name was also recorded as Fred Zummach in William Zummach's marriage registration (1905) and in his own marriage registration (1913). Other variants of his surname include Sumach and Zumach.^16,24
     Frederick Sumach was a survivor of his father August who died in 1890 when he was 7 months and 6 days old.²⁵
     Frederick Sumach appeared on the 1891 Canadian Census of Renfrew County, Ontario in the household of his mother, Mary Sumach.⁷
     Fredrick Zumach appeared on the 1901 Canadian Census of Renfrew County, Ontario in the household of his mother, Mary Zumach.⁶ Fred Zummach, the groom's brother, was listed as a witness to the marriage of William Zummach and Bertha Bimm on 4 October 1905.²⁶ Frederick Summach was listed as a witness to the marriage of Lydia Zummach and Alexander Potter on 25 December 1906 at Raglan Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada; according to Ontario Marriage Registration 017557.^{27,28,29,30,31,32}
     In early 1907, at the age of 17, Fred went out west to the Eagle Creek area of the district of Saskatoon. Late in the year he returned to Ontario to convince his mother and brother to return with him as settlers.³³
     In 1908, Fred, August and their mother, Mary moved to the Asquith district from Ontario. They settled on land that had been owned by their brother-in-law, Cecil Seed.^34,35
     David McDougall built the McDougall Block in Calgary in 1906. Grandpa and Grandma Summach saved a postcard of the building that he had mailed to her in Palmer Rapids on Saturday, April 18, 1908.³⁶
     Frederick Summach appeared on the 1911 Canadian Census of Saskatchewan, enumerated 5 June 1911. Frederick was described as a Baptist and a Farmer. As were his older brother, August and their mother Mary.¹⁴
     Frederick Summach was described as a blacksmith and did custom threshing; and in later years was a farmer. This must have been hard on him due to his asthma. I have heard of him sleeping upright in a chair in order to breath, and can relate to this in my own experience.³³⁴³⁷
     The farm house on Fred's farm was built before 1914 based upon an early picture. It eventually had running water and electricity. The house as I knew it had an enclosed veranda on the east and south sides, but they are not in this early picture, so the veranda was one of several additions made over the years years. In 2002, Fred and Laurene Summach were still living in this house, although it had changed considerably. It finally had to be demolished in (insert date here) due to water damage and the prohibitive cost of bringing it up to modern codes required with any rehabilitation efforts. 
     Lori tells me that "Fred's Home quarter is NE-17-35-9-3. I think it's township 342" The land coordinates are the same in the 1921 census.^33,12
     Fredrich and Ester Summack (sic) appeared on the 1916 Census of Canadian Prairie Provinces, RM of Loganton, Saskatchewan, enumerated 6 June 1916, described as a farmer and a Baptist. Their son Emmerson was listed as living with them. As were Fred's 2nd cousin, Henry Kuehl and Esther's 1st cousin, Mary Yourt who were included in the household as servants.¹¹³⁸
     Note the glider swing inside the veranda in the following photographs. Grandpa made one for us in the 1950's and I remember one at the farm and his Christopher Lake cabin as well. I didn't realize how early he may have started making them.³⁹

     The Avondale Baptist Church was organized in the home of William and Ida Wellwood on 27 May 1921 in the Avondale district, south of Asquith. He was one of the first deacons of the church. Fred Summach was one of the charter members. He was elected as the first clerk for the new church.⁴⁰
     Frederick and Esther Summach appeared on the 1921 Canadian Census of RM of Loganton, Saskatchewan, enumerated 1 June 1921. Frederick was described as a farmer. Their children Emerson, Muriel, Delbert and Malcholm were listed as living with them. As was Jamieson Stewart who was listed as a servant/labourer (farm). All were listed as Baptist except for Esther who was listed as Methodist.¹² Frederick and Esther celebrated their on 13 January 1928.⁴
     The following article appeared in the Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Saskatoon Daily Star, 21 January 1928 :

     Frederick and Esther Summach appeared on the 1931 Canadian Census of RM of Loganton, Saskatchewan, land location 17 35 09 W3, NE quarter, in the Avondale district, south of Asquith, enumerated 1 June 1931. Frederick was described as a farmer on his own grain farm and a Baptist. Their children Emerson, Muriel, Albert (sic), Malcolm, Olive, Kenneth, Manley, Estella, Shirley and Frederick were listed as living with them. They lived in a wooden house with 7 rooms. It was valued at $1,000. They did not own a radio.
     The initial automated indexing of this census split grandpa Fred's family into two, with the first group having a surname of Simmach, and the second group, "Stevens". The AI tool interpreted the "u" with a faint stroke above it as an "i", but I have no idea where "Stevens" came from. The surname below grandpa Fred is indicated by a ditto mark for all of the family.¹³

     Frederick Summach and family attended the Rosenthal School Pals Reunion.
⁴⁴ He was a pallbearer at the burial ofElizabeth Anne Rutledge, on 18 May 1932 at Avondale Woodlawn Cemetery, Avondale district, RM of Vanscoy No. 345, Saskatchewan, Canada.^45,46
     In the obituary of Lydia Potter who died 19 October 1938, her brother, Frederick Summach of Asquith, Saskatchewan, was listed as a survivor.⁴⁷⁴⁸
     Fred Zummach was included in a say 1940 photograph(see below) which may have been a homemade valentine. A heart was drawn around Grandpa Fred with the caption "I get a bang out of you". To the left side is written "Lazy Boy."

It was hard for me to date this photo since Grandpa appears to be older, but the yard seemed unfamiliar. I do not remember the shd in the background. The workshop behind Grandpa is the same building as in the early picture of kids playing in the snow, but the addition on the left side was expanded to become a garage. The view is to the northwest. The steam engine shed must be obscured behind this building. This workshop was still in photos in the early 1960's.

The farm yard photo that Cheryl provided (taken about 1932) helped put the buildings in context.^33,49 He was listed as the father of the bride in the marriage of George Henry Seymour and Muriel Beulah Summach on 27 November 1940.⁵⁰
     In 1943, they moved from the farm into Asquith, living across the street from the original Baptist Church.²⁴⁸
     In the obituary of Mrs. Fred Summack (sic) who died 26 June 1945, her husband, Fred Summack (sic) was listed as predeceased.⁵¹ He was a pallbearer at the burial ofSarah Brooks,the mother of Albert and Charlie Brooks, on 2 October 1949 at Asquith Cemetery, RM of Vanscoy No. 345, Saskatchewan, Canada.⁵² F. Summach, of Asquith, was listed as the father of the bride in the marriage of Ted Forsyth and Shirley Summach on 6 October 1949.⁵³ Fred Summach Sr was an honorary pallbearer at the burial of George Horace Rutledge on 21 December 1956 at Woodlawn Cemetery, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.^54,55,56 F. Summach Sr. was an honorary pallbearer at the burial of Charles August Junop on 5 April 1957 at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.^57,58

⁶³

     The funeral service of Fred Summach Sr was held in the Saskatoon, Saskatchewan University Drive Alliance church 24 January 1972 . The honorary pallbearers were: Walter Rice, William Pilgrim, Roy Warren, Bert Johnson, Bill Junop and Ivan Smith. The active pallbearers were: George Seymour, Harvey Summach, Ted Forsyth, Ted Summach, Charlie Boland and Elmer Krieger
     I don't remember the graveside service as much as driving in the funeral procession from Saskatoon to Asquith, headlights on as a sign of respect, and travelling slowly.²⁰

; Pat O'Dwyer . . . super service
...We looked at the crops, including Neepawa wheat, a star performer. Still, as it turned out, the stories I found most fascinating were Del's recollections of George H. Rutledge.

"Rutledge," he said, "came up from Iowa, and he broke up the country with a Reeves steamer -- a double compound (two cylinders)." That engineering description was lost on me, but I got the picture a little more clearly when Del said the Reeves was bigger than anything at the Western Development Museum in Saskatoon.

Del's father, Fred Summach, had a Case steam engine, and a 44-inch separator.

"Both Rutledge and Dad threshed the whole area," Del remembered. Big cook cars, big bunk cars, big crews, two water tanks to quench the thirst of that powerful steamer.

Those were halcyon days. Rutledge and Summach came to the district about the same time, in 1906. Summach brought his own lumber with him from Rockingham (Geulph (sic)), Ontario, and with it built his home. It's still there as the core of the home where Fred Jr. and his family live. It has been extended from the original. Yet. there it is, a fulfillment of the promise it held out to its builders 70 years ago.

Del took me over to the Rutledge homestead, and what memories it stirred in him. Rutledge pioneered in the use of machinery in the horse-and-buggy era and he took young Del Summach under his wing and taught him the mechanics of the tractor, the thresher, their operation and repair...⁶⁵
