Reesor

The little settlement of Reesor officially got its start on June 15th 1925 at 11:00 pm, when two Mennonite refugees, Jacob Toews and Jacob Heinrichs, disembarked from the CNR train at mileage point 103 just east of Mattice. One can only imagine the dismay they must have felt as they gazed at the site of their 'new home', which was nothing more than dark, rain soaked bush.
