History
Gilbert (Bert) and Angeline Mackey arrived in the Peace Country in 1918. After spending three years near Sexsmith, they moved out to their homestead at Teepee Creek in 1921. The couple had five children. Their fourth child, Arthur Mackey, was born at Innisfail, Alberta on August 18, 1914. After completing grade 8 at Teepee Creek, and some high school at Sexsmith and Grande Prairie, Art started farming in the 1930s. He was an active member of the Grande Prairie Grain Club under the leadership of Herman Trelle. In 1935, he and Justyn Rigby won first the Provincial, then the National Championship in junior grain judging at the Toronto Royal Fair. In 1948 Art married Kay Johnson, who taught for many years at Sexsmith. Art continued to farm until his death in 1978.
