TAYLOR: Newton Melvin
October 4, 1937 - 2025

Newton Melvin Taylor was born on the farm in the Kilmory District on October 4, 1937 to Pearl and Kenneth Taylor.

He attended Kilmory country and Watrous school until grade 8. He then worked as a farm labourer in the area. Later he worked at Morse Sk as a grader operator for the RM and then moved to northern Manitoba to build a dam at Point Du Bois. After the death of his brother in law Neil, Newt moved to Lockwood where he helped his sister Edna run her farm. In 1972, Newt married Eileen V. Kirk and moved to Nokomis. He worked for the RM of Wreford as a grader operator until his retirement.

Newt was involved in sports whether it be as a participant or a fan all his life. He was a manager/coach of his nephew Jim's Sandlot Baseball team for years and enjoyed it immensely as he was a back catcher in his early years. Newt curled for many years as well, competing in weekend bonspiels around the district. He also was an avid golfer and competed in many tournaments around the province with his buddies. He loved watching the local boys play for the Nokomis Chief Senior hockey team and attended all of their home games.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders were Newt's football team and attended several games at Taylor field in his younger years. Right up until his death, Newt did not miss watching a Rider game on TV. He had the opportunity to attend a Rider game in the new stadium with another friend from the Lanigan Lodge a few years ago. It was something he always wanted to do and was very grateful to the Lodge for granting this wish.

Newt loved gardening and keeping his yard tidy. He grew a big garden every year which he gladly shared with friends and family. Newt also canned vegetables and chicken. His sister Edna always said his canned chicken tasted better than hers.

Family was important to Newt. He loved children and would be forever asking how all his nieces and nephews were doing. Newt taught most of his nieces and nephews how to play cribbage. He was always up for a game which he usually won. Those games were filled with friendly competition, conversation and many laughs. Even though his siblings lived miles apart from him, he still kept in contact either by phone or a road trip visit to catch up with what was going on in their lives.

Newt became a resident at Lanigan Lodge in the summer of 2016 which he called his home until his passing on July 27, 2025.

Newt was predeceased by his parents Pearl and Kenneth Taylor, wife Eileen, brother Gordon, sisters Edna and Doreen and nephew Jim.

He leaves to mourn his sisters Margaret Rose and Hellen and numerous nieces and nephews. At Newt's request there will be no funeral.

DAVIDSON: Louise M. (nee Nelson)
August 26, 1928 – July 2, 2025
Louise Davidson was born near Maidstone, SK in 1928. She received her schooling in Lashburn and helped out as a domestic for a while before venturing out. She lived in Prince Albert, Hull Quebec and Prescott Ontario before her marriage to Douglas Davidson in 1958 whom she met in Wynyard at a convention.
Louise became a farm wife and her favorite place to be was at home on the farm or else out somewhere with a friend. She milked cows, sold eggs and chickens for meat, and had a big garden. She drove a tractor and a baler. She also loved to bake, knit, cross-stitch and shop. She loved to play cards and usually won! Louise was a peacemaker and didn't like to argue so she accumulated a number of friends over the years and kept in touch with them. Her favorites were pink roses, pink carnations and anything else that was pink.
After they retired from farming, Douglas and Louise moved into a new home in Watrous. The door was always open and they happily hosted, fed and housed many people from near and far over the years.
As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, Louise especially liked to meet people and speak of the Bible promise of a coming paradise on earth. She was confident of a resurrection and seeing Douglas and relatives and friends who predeceased her. Louise passed away peacefully in her cozy room at Manitou Lodge in Watrous on July 2, 2025. She leaves behind nieces and nephews and their families as well as many friends.
A Private Family Graveside Service will take place at Watrous Cemetery at a later date. For those so wishing, memorial donations to the Manitou Lodge Activity Fund would be appreciated. For online condolences or tributes please visit:

Carter Douglas Pidhorodetsky, aged 22 years of Watrous, SK passed away at his Residence in Watrous SK on Saturday, June 28th, 2025.
Carter was predeceased by his Dad Todd, Big Brother Derek, his Papas Ernest Pidhorodetsky and Tom Airey as well as his Auntie Chanda, Uncle Jordan and cousins Kamryn and Miguire VanDeVorst.
Carter is lovingly remembered and forever missed by his love Jocelyn Knouse, his Mom Melanie Airey and Big Sister Karlie (Jay) along with extended family Grandma Diann, Grandma Joyce, Uncle Dean and Auntie Fran Airey, Tommy, Josh, Emmie, Leilani, and Jake, Auntie Debra and Uncle Richard Haubrich, Dayton (Jessie), Anthony (Sophia) and Sam. He will equally be missed by Jocelyn's family Dale & Carolyn Knouse, Cassandra, Trina and Gabby, Grandma Fran Edwards and Joanne, Steven and Maddie along with Sage and Hudson Mierau and Lily Atcheson Fellner.
Carter recently convocated from the U of S with a degree in Education. He had found his calling - his love of history, academics and learning was purely evident in the short time he was able to show it off during his internships and substitute teaching. It is truly a loss to all of us including the students he should have had. He would have been a favorite teacher.
