BYEMOOR/ENDIANG NEWS

The Byemoor Hotel has new owners. Joyce Campbell and Bruce Gallagher take over ownership of the hotel effective March 1. We wish Joyce and Bruce all the best in their new venture.

We extend sympathy to the family of Lou Lohrmann who passed away on Feb. 7 at the age of 87 years. Lou and his late wife Carol were progressive farmers who were involved in the early importation of Simmental cattle from Europe. He was well-known in the Scapa, Endiang and Hanna areas. His funeral was held in Hanna on Friday. Our thoughts are with Lou’s daughters, Luann (Dave) Buchwitz and Pam (Brad) Schooler and their families in their loss.

Sympathy is also extended to the family of Bernice Zeimer who passed away in Hanna on Feb. 14. She was 88. Bernice was a long-time resident of the Endiang community before retiring to Hanna. Bernice and her late husband Albert farmed east of Endiang near Sullivan Lake and were active members of the community.

Our thoughts are with her daughters, Linda (Bill) Smith and Brenda Zeimer and their families, as well as her sisters Carol Stulberg and Eva Ergang in their loss. By Bernice’s request there will be no funeral service.
