Individual Details
ADAM Ursel
(9 May 1897 - 26 Aug 1966)
Adam Ursel was a brilliant guy and a hard worker and his intelligence and drive were passed on to his six children.
The Ursel family lived as an extended family so the tiny house at 2128 Reynolds Ave was very full, occupied by ten people.
He managed to raise his children through the great depression also known as the Dustbowl when his eldest, Ruth, would have been starting her teens and the youngest, Richard (Dick) had just been born. It was a terrifying time.
He was a self taught engineer and he developed a method of extracting the oil from the Alberta Tar Sands on his own long before anyone else. As far as I know his method was not used in practice.
He was once an agent for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.
He owned and operated several businesses including Ursel & Engel, Ursel's Music and Camera shop, The Music Shop and Western Musical Repair Shop in Regina. He was also manager of Western Radiator Co.
Later on, Henderson's Regina Directory shows he had Ursel's Radio & Electric as his business during the 50s.
