Arthur Ben McCabe and his brother Frank, along with their friend Bud Geyer, move 3 carloads of settler supplies from ND to Castor. Their train cars crossed the border at Greta Manitoba, April 18 1912.

Census

The ND state census on April1, 1915 shows that Patrick H McCabe's family and Ben's family still lived in Hegton township. Frank had moved to Canada and then to Larimore by then.

Land Purchases

Ben and Frank were very close farming partners. About 1912 the brothers closed their operation in Hegton and moved to Castor Alberta to try wheat farming there.

Ben and Frank purchased Canadian Pacific Railroad land in Alberta: (Records from the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.)
