about

While reading an article about the RM of Snipe Lake, where I was born and grew up, I came across this story...

'One man, “Moonlight Bob” Woods brought his threshing outfit up from North Dakota for several years before settling in the Plato district. He acquired his nickname because of his habit of working long into the night, the area around the separator lit by burning small piles of chaff and straw. Late one evening one of his crew, many of whom had come West on a $10 Harvest Excursion ticket, wrote “when are we going to get the 8 hour day?” on the back of a bundle wagon. He awoke the next morning to find written underneath, “when Moonlight Bob has passed away.”'
