Ernest Fiset was proud of his 1929 Plymouth. Just a few years later, he would lose his Saskatchewan farm, his barn, and his horses during the Great Depression. Somehow, the Plymouth remained. It became his transportation, his livelihood, and a means of carrying his family toward a new life in British Columbia.

Ernest Fiset and Deveta Collins were married in 1926 at a small prairie church in Plessis, Saskatchewan. Life was hard from the start—Deveta gave birth three times in two and a half years, losing two babies to premature birth. Their story, traced through a faded newspaper clipping, a colourized wedding photo, and a quiet cemetery on the prairie, reflects the challenges of rural life in 1920s Saskatchewan.
