OLEKSIUK
In the Registers, they wrote the surname in Latin as “Olexiuk”, “Oleksiuk” and even “Olexijow” and “Olexiow”. In the land documents 1820, they wrote “Olexow”. I will write “Oleksiuk”.
5
I have managed to determine that the first of the kin was DMYTRO OLEKSIUK (Demetrius Oleksiuk). He was born in about 1836. He married Iryna Byrka (Irena Byrka). She was born in about 1835; she died 13.03.1889 at the age of 54. Dmytro died 4.05.1895 at the age of 59. They lived in Babyntsi in the building No 58.
In the land documents 1820, 3 Oleksiuk families lived in Babyntsi at that time: Oleksiuk Yuriy (No 57), Oleksiuk Stephan (No 58) and Oleksiuk Semen (No 61). Considering the building numbers, I assume that Stephan was the father or grandfather to Dmytro. Nevertheless, there are no Registers of the previous period to confirm/disprove it.
Dmytro and Iryna had at least 2 children:
OLEKSIUK HRYHORIY (Oleksiuk Gregorius) was born in about 1868. In 1889, he married Varvara Lukiy (please see the information above).
OLEKSIUK MARIA (Oleksiuk Maria) date of birth is unknown. She married Kyrylo Lukiy (please see the information above).

Family/Spouse: Karl (Kyrylo) (Karelo) Lukey. Karl (son of Ivan (Joannes) Lukiy (Lukij) and Martha Yarema (Jarema)) was born in 1849 in Bldg 107, Babyntsi, Borodianka Raion, Kiev Oblast, Ukraine; died in 1926; was buried in St. Demetrius Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery, Norquay, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Lukey Family

In 1898 and ambitious young man immigrated to Canada, spending a year in this country and writing spirited letters to his parents. Peter convinced them to make the move around 1900. Karl and Maria Lukey packed her belongings, bringing with them their three younger children - Wasylena (17), Simon (14), and Andrew (8).
Making their way by a train, they first settled in Grandview, Manitoba, and lived there for four years. Finding the land that their dad homestead on too rocky, Peter and Simon decided to look for more suitable land. Two weeks of very exhaustive hunting and prospecting went by as they finally picked the site at Norquay.

LUKEY-It is with great sorrow the family announces the passing of our beloved JOHN LUKEY on July 5, 2007 at the age of 101. The passing was peaceful, with his family at his side. Born at Norquay, Saskatchewan on Oct. 5, 1905, John spent most of his adult years in Alberta.

John was also active with the Shriners and the Masons with whom he had been a Deputy Grand Master. With an exceptional and enduring sense of humour, he had many talents and broad interests including lifelong interests in science, world affairs and people, and was able to richly experience many parts of the world through travel well into his eighth and ninth decades of life.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Preeceville Funeral Home.

Nellie Anne (Lukey) Long was born on March 6, 1922 in Canora, Saskatchewan to Peter and Hannah (Eugenia) Lukey. Nellie was the youngest of 8, having 1 sister and 6 brothers. Nellie's parents had immigrated from Ukraine separately, met in Winnipeg, married and headed west to homestead near Norquay.

Nellie received her education at Westerlund and Norquay Schools. At 10 years of age Nellie was at home sick for a week when the doctor decided she must be sent to the hospital 30 miles away in Canora. They made a bed in the sleigh and travelled by team and sleigh to hospital where she had her ruptured appendix removed the following morning. After completing her grade 11, the highest grade available in Norquay, Nellie helped on the family farm.

In 1942 Nellie got a job with the bank of Toronto, later the Toronto Dominion Bank. In 1952she came back home to care for her father when her mother passed away. Her father passed away in 1953. She went back to the T.D. Bank until 1960, working in various branches in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and British Columbia.

Nellie met Russell Long during W.W.II and on September 6, 1957 they married in Preeceville. In 1960 their first daughter, Susan, was born, and in 1962 their second daughter, Shirley. Nellie stayed at home with the children then. From 1967 to 1972 Nellie was Secretary Treasurer for the Preeceville Rural Telephone Co. Meetings were held at her house once a month, and on those evening Russell and the girls were told to stay in their rooms and be quiet!

In 1972 Nellie started working at Formo Motors Ltd. in Preeceville as the accountant bookkeeper. In 1986 she retired from Formo Motors.

Nellie loved gardening, knitting, and spending as much time as possible with the grand children. She was also an avid curler. Many winters were spent in rinks attending bonspiels and socializing! Another love was Bingo. She often attended locally and loved Kinsmen Radio Bingo on Saturday nights. Her luck was frequent! She was a member of Beta Sigma Phi in Preeceville, a fellowship centered on positive lifestyles. Nellie was a Founding Member of the Preeceville and District Heritage Museum and received an Honorary Lifetime Membership in 2014. Nellie and Russell were also members of Club 60 in Preeceville and it was there Nellie enjoyed carpet bowling. Her most noted involvement was in the CWL which she became a member of in 1957. It was just over the last couple of years that it became too difficult for her to attend. But her faith grew even stronger. She also sang for years in the St. Patrick Church choir.

Nellie loved going downtown each day for coffee to socialize, a practice she started with Russell. She loved fall suppers, Christmas concerts, and carol festivals. But the time when you really saw her face light up was then the grand children and great grandchildren came over. They were her world.

Nellie was predeceased by her parents in 1952 and 1953, her husband Russell in 2005, and all her siblings. She leaves to mourn daughter Susan (Jim), daughter Shirley (Dervin), 3 grand daughters Alishia, Carmilla (Matt), and Jerrica (Andrew), 6 Great Grandchildren Reagen, Tanesha, Quilana, Torsten, Sadie, and Emeric, 2 sisters-in-law Anne Lukey and Margaret Lukey, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Nellie married Russell Marshall Long on 6 Sep 1957 in Preeceville, Saskatchewan, Canada.

The noble Laskowichs are faithful children to their Church, and devoted to the cause of the people. Their Silver Wedding [Anniversary] was not only a celebration with their family, who came from Norquay and the surrounding area, but also a rejoicing with their friends and acquaintances in Kamsack.

He encouraged endurance in the faith of the fathers to preserve the native language and customs of the Ukrainian people.
We, as well as friends and acquaintances gave them and their family wishes and gifts.
