Carl and Jessie Jesmer – My great uncle and aunt.
Carl and Jessie Jesmer – My great uncle and aunt.
Carl Thomas Jesmer was my grandfather’s brother. That would make him my great uncle. I never knew him. He had the most kids out from Nelson’s family. Many of the Jesmers still in Saskatchewan are from his family. He was a farmer and even donated some of his land to Duck’s Unlimited. It is now the Jesmer Marsh on Quill Lake. I hope that this page honors his name and his family and can be the seed that sprouts a Jesmer family reunion in the future. (PS if anyone has any old pics…please send them my way.)
