Mr. Brewster came to Silver City in 1885. He had come west as a young man to join his brothers, James and William. His first years in the west were spent panning for gold, and 'rawhiding' for lumber operations near Golden, B.C. In 1888, he registered his brand in Alberta, and raised, bought and sold cattle from his homestead near Bowden. He operated the first regular coach line between Red Deer and Rocky Mountain House. Later he built a cabin south of Nordegg, where he rounded up wild horses for sale. He died at Nordegg, Alberta in 1937.
