JOHN H. KANE Founder of Kane John Henry Kane, an American business man and land broker from Odell, Illinois, began to purchase newly drained land in the Kane area in 1906.
This barn was built by John H. Kane north of St. Jean, Manitoba in 1918. It still stands today.
The development of Kane, the village and the district has always been limited by the ability of authorities and farmers to drain excess water off the land.
In 1903, James Miller came from Ontario to the area which is now Kane and farmed 31-4-2W. A railway siding was constructed, and a town site surveyed on the northwest corner of the farm.
