Manitoba Free Press (Winnipeg), 1 Feb 1927: "Hockey Team of Brothers - Biglow Brothers

Hockey Team (with photo) - Left to right, standing - Sid, centre; Harry, manager; Elias J., president; Bert, left defence; Ernie, right defence. Sitting - George, right wing; Cecil, goal; Cliff, left wing. Midway between the towns of Treherne and Holland there lives a Manitoba pioneer, Elias Biglow, and his wife. To them have been born eight sons and three daughters. Seven of these sons are hockey players of considerable repute in their district. The eighth son, Jim, is yet too young, but promises to be a comer. Three years ago Mr. Biglow formed his boys into a hockey team, and these boys who play with the Holland and Treherne teams, often against each other, have on occasion, teamed up to trim to a finish either of their regular teams. They are pictured above. At present Cliff is in the University of Winnipeg, and Harry works in this city. Harry is a war veteran and only recently has recovered from wounds sufficiently to play much hockey. George (15) is breaking in this season to replace one of the older boys who cannot always be on deck for a game. The Biglow brothers are managed by their dad, who is a fan of the first water - and if there are any 'brother' teams in the province who would like to 'face off' with these boys they will probably be able to arrange a match by writing Mr. Biglow at Holland. These boys have had their own rink down on the home farm to play on for the last fifteen years. All are farmers except Cliff and Harry."

Winnipeg Free Press (4 Jan 1996): "WILMA MABEL DeVRIEZE (PERCIVAL)

(nee ROSS) - It is with joyous relief and with the deepest and profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Wilma Mabel DeVrieze at Tache Nursing Centre, Winnipeg, Man. Our Lord stopped the Clock of Life for Wilma on Friday, December 29, 1995 at the end of the working day as he gently took her to her new home in heaven, so she will feel no more pain. Wiima's greatest attributes were her wit and humour. She loved life and her positive outlook maintained her through many health setbacks. She will be remembered as a thoughtful, caring person. Always giving a gift, remembrance or present to all who came in contact with her, showing her attitude of "giving is better than receiving." This gesture was not only towards her dear friends but to any and all she knew to brighten their day. Wilma was a very proud and independent lady. Until her illness she enjoyed life to the fullest every day and never missed an opportunity to laugh, to dance, to partake of life. She had an ongoing love for new challenges and learning. We were honoured to be her children. She was associated with the Army & Navy Ladies Auxiliary, being a very active member for many years. She was President of the branch in Portage la Prairie and later attained the position of vice-president of the A. and N. Ladies Auxiliary of Canada. She gave many hours of volunteer work to the community and those in need.

Wilma was born on May 15, 1908 at Treherne, Man., attending the local schools.

Growing up with a work ethic and a zest for living plus her self-determination, she was always striving to improve her status. Her personality gained her the deep and special friendship of other ladies which lasted for years as they visited and travelled together. Predeceased by her father John Ross in 1954; her mother Bessie Ross in 1976; sisters, Myrtle Murray, Leila Corydon; her first husband Arthur S. Percival in 1971 and her second husband Alphonse De Vrieze. She is lovingly survived by her twin daughters, Eveline Wynne (Ted) of Portage la Prairie and Arline Dagg (Wilmer) of Brandon and granddaughters, Diana Dagg of Calgary, Alberta and Carla Brigden (Barry) and family of Souris, Man. She is survived by one brother Gill, nieces and nephews. Cremation has taken place and no service will be held according to Wilma's request. Interment at a later date. Wilma was a vibrant woman, a friend to all, living life with dignity, character and integrity. This she leaves as a legacy for her family. I have fought the good fight, have finished the race, have kept the faith. Dearest Mother, we lovingly leave you in God's care."
