Ritchie family portrait in front of their sod house in the Zealandia area. Posed for the camera, Gramma Empey, Annie Ritchie, six children, and Gramma Ritchie(?), along with a dog.

Sodding bees were a community event at the Winona School. Walls of sod three feet thick would be piled against the wooden frame of the school to make a building that was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. In this photo, a large group of people stand/sit outside and on top of Winona School. Contact Rosetown archives for names.
