Thomas LOGAN came to Manitoba in 1868 from Aurora, Ont., via
St. Paul and the Red River to Fort Garry, arriving in Portage la
Prairie in 1869.
Charles LOGAN followed him in 1870 or 1871, and the two
brothers built a flour-mill in the west end of the town,
operating it for a year and a half, and then selling out to the
late Billy Smith. The two brothers then moved out on the farm
about three miles north-west of town, where they farmed till
1881, when Thomas LOGAN moved back into Portage la Prairie, his
brother Charles retaining the farm.
Thomas went into business in that year - general store on
Main Street, under the firm name of LOGAN & HENDERSON, at
the same time carrying on a considerable business in real
estate. The subject of this sketch married Jane HENDERSON and
there were seven children, four boys and three girls: Edward,
now living in Montreal; Walter, of Portage la Prairie; SHERMAN,
who was killed in action on the 8th of October, 1916, at the
Somme, and Gordon, of Drumheller, Sask.; Joey (Mrs. R. G.
Taylor), of Swan River; Margaret, who died in 1895; and Mary
(Mrs. J. R. Walker, of this city). And there are also ten
grandchildren.
Thomas LOGAN opened the first Methodist Sunday School in
Portage la Prairie, 1872, in the house of John Dougald McKie, at
the west end. He took a very active interest in the affairs of
the Methodist Church, continuing as superintendent of the Sunday
School for many years and taking duty in the district as a very
acceptable local preacher.

Walter LOGAN, worked for the Telephone Office. < From
Ralph Walter Logan, Walter's son> Except for the time working
in the Telephone trade (I imagine that some of that would sort
of be training on the job) when he worked in such places as
California, San Francisco, New York City, Montreal, and B.C.: he
lived all his life in Portage la Prairie. When his father died
in 1902, he would have been 18. So I do not know for sure when
he was doing telephone work before the war.
When the war started he would be 30, and in the army, that
age results in a nickname of 'Pop', since most of his buddies
would be in their late teens, or early twenties. He was not
exactly wounded in the army, but suffered a broken nose (soup
bowl) (a couple of fellows were fighting over a bowl of soup,
and it hit him in the nose. - he recalled it himself.) A
dislocated shoulder, which was a near thing (I never saw him
throw anything overhand, he could not raise his arm above
shoulder level (He was invalidated out of the service in 1916
with stomach ulcers. Medical and living conditions in World War
I were very poor compared to World War II, and since then.
He worked a couple of years at the home for incurables - now
called Manitoba School in Portage, and then started again with
Manitoba Telephone System, and worked at his trade as a wire
chief at the Portage Exchange until he retired. <Note that he
never had a phone until he retired>
