Uncle Neil in Churchill, MB
Uncle Cornelius (Neil) S. Kehler was asked to go to Churchill MB, to build a service station that would have two 10,000 gallon underground gas tanks. In a place like Churchill, this is a tricky task since there is either rock or sand under the surface, and the timing of the excavation must be very accurate, coinciding with the outgoing tide.

A Kehler Brothers’ Ritual
Of all the Berliner Kehler’ children, David and Johan were the closest of all the brothers, and they visited each other on a regular basis. When John & Annie went to visit David & Helen Kehlers’ farm, the children would pile into the back of the car and off they’d go.
