Ronald Buxton

Ronald Buxton (circa 1902 - 1958) was the husband of Edna Buxton. He died in 1958 at age 52 of asthma.

I was a child of the “Great Depression” in a day when people (my parents) kept troubles to themselves.

I was I think 5 [1934], when my father who worked for the CN railway in Transcona, (as did [[Ernie Cooke|Uncle Ernie) lost his job. Somehow, through some program, my parents instead of going “on relief”, “the dole”, which they would have hated, ended up on an acreage in Vivian, Manitoba.

My Dad had terrible asthma, which led to his death at 52. He was allergic to animals, dust, etc., etc.," - Vivian
