Robert Swetozar

Great Uncle Bob (Robert S) Papineau left England and went steerage to Canada.  First he got lodgings with a farmer in Manitoba and then managed to get a job on the railway cutting through the Rockies.  Finally on to a printing firm and a top job after training and then when the Manager died, he began his own business, printing newspapers.  Later, one of his own sons was a Canadian Mountie.
