Arthur Pilling was born in Whalley, Ribble Valley Borough, Lancashire, England on August 21, 1913. He came to Canada in 1928 with his parents and nine siblings and settled on a farm in the Glen Mary district north of Kinistino, Saskatchewan. In 1937 he married Emily Smith and together they moved to the farm on NW23-48- 21 W2d where they raised six children: Hazel, Allan, Gordon, Glen, Dale and Ray.
During WWII, Art joined the Cape Breton Highlanders serving in Canada, England, Italy, France and Germany. Arthur received the 1939-45 Star, the Italy Star, the France/Germany Star, the Defence Medal, the George VI Defence Medal, the War Service Badge RCCS and the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal. Following the war, he joined the Kinistino Branch #129 of The Royal Canadian Legion and was an active member for 54 years. (Taken from the Saskatchewan Legion Magazine.)
Art was a community-minded individual, serving as a Trustee of the Pahonan School for thirty-three years, and on the Pahonan Hall Board for twenty-two years. He sat on the Rural Municipality Agriculture Committee for twenty years and was a director of the Glen Mary Telephone Company for twenty-eight years. He was the leader of the Pahonan 4-H Club for fourteen years and organized the regional curling for the 4-H club for twenty-two years. Art also was a lay reader in the Anglican Church and delivered sermons for three different congregations. For ten years, Art was the local news and entertainment correspondent for the area contributing weekly articles to The Kinistino Post. His “Glen Mary Gleanings” were broadcast over the CBC radio on Sunday mornings.
Art was always interested in the history of the Glen Mary, Pahonan and Horseshoe Bend area in which he lived and farmed. He spent many hours learning about the early history through conversations with the old Métis settlers who occupied the area prior to the arrival of European immigrants. When “Celebrate Saskatchewan 1980” offered communities the opportunity to publish a local history book Art became a member of the historical committee. The book In Kelsey’s Footsteps, “The Land of Good Report” : Pahonan, Glen Mary, Horseshoe Bend was published in 1980 with much of the content written by Art which was fitting as he had been there from the inception of many of the community organisations of which he wrote. Art’s inclusion of the contributions of the many Métis settlers in the establishment of the community was a unique contribution to the local history chronicle.
Art Pilling passed away on September 19, 1999 at the age of 86. He is buried in the Kinistino Cemetery.
