The story of pioneer rancher Thomas Green Bratton


Article content
The Porcupine Hills have a strong western history embedded in ranching. One such illustration was that of Thomas Green Bratton whose agricultural spread was in the Spring Point district. Bratton and his wife the former Kizzar “Lizzie” Bullock settled on Bratton Coulee which was named in their honour. It was part of the Beaver Creek watershed which flowed southeast out of these rolling foothills. One of Bratton’s neighbors was Theodore Mathius Brown (1874 – 1965) , a fellow rancher who also served as the Spring Point Postmaster. The two old time ranches were little more than a mile apart.
