| Notes |
- Marvin Dwight Day was born on the family farm, southeast of East Poplar, Saskatchewan. He spent six years on his father's farm before moving with his parents to Minneapolis, MN where he attended school. In 1925, the family moved back to Saskatchewan where Marvin continued his schooling at the Cow Creek and Poplar Creek schools near Coronach. Travel to school and back was mostly on foot, but on cold days Len Webb's dray hauled the children.
Marvin's work career was quite varied. Marvin started his first full time job in 1937 working for Kim Guy at the Imperial Oil service station in Coronach. Marvin worked at the service station until 1944 and then became manager of the Co-op until the fall of 1945. From 1945 to 1953 Marvin went to work as manager of the Red & White grocery store under the ownership of V.B. "Jerry" Fox. Jerry Fox sold the business to Butch and Kay Aussant and Marvin continued working at the store until January 1977, a span of 32 years. He then worked for John Dosch who owned the Massey Ferguson Farm Equipment until 1980. Marvin then went to work for Roy Gerde at the Brand 66 Clothing Store where he was employed at the time of his death. While being taken to the Assiniboial Hospital by ambulance on September 29, 1991 Marvin died of heart failure at the age of 76.
Marvin was very active in the community. He was a member of the Coronach Trail Ranger Troop in the early years and a member of the Town Council from 1944-48. Marvi was a member of the Elks Lodge Coronach Branch #562, the Masonic Lodge Coronach Branch #208, and the Firemen's Association. He was active on the local Fire Department for several years. Marvin was an original founding member of the Coronach Golf Club in the spring of 1958, He held the position of President or Secretary of the Golf Club since 1958 until his death. He was an excellent golfer throughout his entire life winning over 150 golfing awards in the southern Saskatchewan and northern Montana areas. Although Marv played other sports such as tennis, skating, hockey, baseball, softball and curling, golf was the sport he enjoyed the most. Marv was a member of the Board of Directors of the Coronach Credit Union for 14 years as well as a member ot the Coronach United Church, singing with the United Church choir for about 50 years. He enjoyed music and was quite talented, playing the banjo, saxophone and piano, and singing for a number of orchestras in the Coronach area.
