Obituary
Harvey Christopher Dahl was the son of Clifford and Olive Dahl. He was born in Beatty, Saskatchewan on August 18, 1934. As a child Harvey helped on the farm with the hogs, chickens and milking cows. He delivered milk around town before and after school. The family moved to Beatty when Harvey was in grade five. At twelve he learned to drive a tractor and worked to help break up new land on the farm. At thirteen he joined the Melfort Swine Club and the Beatty Baby Beef Club. An accident with his horse caused a severe break to his leg and other injuries. Clifford refused to allow the doctors to take Harvey’s leg and his recovery was long; leaving him with a limp.
