I have the following library book called "Heritage A history of the town of Neepawa and District as told and recorded by its people 1883-1983." It was compiled by the History Book Committee at Neepawa, Manitoba. Amicus number 5938961. Earliest history of this district has it in the N.W. Territories. In 1881 it became the County of Beautiful Plains, subdivided into the municipalities of Lansdowne, Osprey, Glendale (later combined into Langford) and Rosedale. No index. Another library book I also have is called "Neepawa A Land of Plenty" A brief story of Neepawa and District written by A.F.(Dick) McKenzie. It was written to celebrate Neepawa's 75th birthday in 1958. Areas near the town of Neepawa are Inkerman, Union, Dumfries, Oakdale, Glendale, Mentmore, Stoney Creek, Osprey, Gordon, Salisbury, Arden, Orange Ridge, Acton, Eden, Birnie, Mountain View, Iroquis, Springhill, Bridge Creek adn Franklin. It says some district names have been overlooked, some not frequently used and other have had name changes. No index. Will be glad to do lookups from these books as long as I have them from the library.

Hello Karen: I wonder if there is a mention of a George G.C. Ingram who had a homestead at Osprey in 1879-1888. I have been looking for information for some time now. I have the homestead records but the little town of Osprey is no longer. And maybe any Ingram mentioned would be wonderful. Thank you for your time Joan in B.C.
