Article from Calgary Herald? by M.E. Gooding:
"A wedding of considerable historical interest to the Turner Valley Oilfields and other oilfieds as well, wherever the Turneyr Valley people are at present time, took place on the evening of November 28th at 8:30 p.m. at the Cambrian Heights "Church of Christ", in Calgary North Hill when MRS. FLEETIE HOVIS, widow of the late Mark Hovis who was a driller on duty when the first Dingman well blew in, in 1914, became the bride of MR. PHILLIP BERKOVICH another old timer of this district who has only recently retired form ranching in the Millarville district.
Mrs. Berkovich, the former Mrs. Hovis, is a colorful character, mentally and physicalloy very alert and a greatly respected member of this community. She is sometimes referred to by her old friends as "Mrs. Turner Valley" owing to her long association with the Turner Valley field.
The former Mrs. Hovis came to Turnery Valley with her family of boys and girls in 1914 from Ohio, U.S.A. and has resided in Black Diamond in the fine home Mr. Hovis provided for his family on the main street of the town ever since.
Mr. Berkovich came to Canada from Europe in the early boom days. He is also active and alert for his age and able to enjoy life. He was a bachelor and this, his first marriage.
Phillip was very shrewd in picking himself one of the best cooks in the country, for his wife has long been known for her culinary art and she has been a consistant exhibitor at the Priddis-Millarville Agricultural show and the winner of many prizes for her cooking and needlework.
Mirs. Berkovich has always been a great Church worker and soon after coming to the Oilfields she gathered a group around her and was instrumental in building a Church in Blakc Diamond in 1929 where she conducted the services. The "Church of Christ" still stands in Black Diamond and is now known as the Gospel Chapel under the leadership of Rev. Hawks.
At one time when Turner Valley was booming and there was not enough accomodation for the school classes, they held classes in the church fo rthe overflow of pupils.
Mrs. Berkovich is the mother of three daughters and two sons whoa re scattered in various oilfields in Canada. There are also quite a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren. Hearty congratulations from the entire community are offered to the couple. They will reside in ..." (the rest of the article was not available for transcribing, ts Aug. 2004)

"Cross Country" from Calgary Herald, undated:
"An event of district interest took place recently in Calgary -- Mrs. Fleetie Hovis, 87, of Blakc Diamond, was married to Phillip Berkovich, recently retired Millarville district racher and old timer of the Turner Valley oilfields district. Mrs. Berkovich is the widow of the late Mark Hovis, chief driller when the No. 1 Dingman well in Turner Valley blew into production on May 15, 1914. It was the start of the Turner Valley field. At the time of the historical event Mrs. Berkovich with six children was enroute from her home in Toledo, OHil, to join her husband in Turner Valley. She is very much apart of the hostiry of the Turner Valley oilfield, so much so that at times she is referred to as "Mrs. Turner Valley".
Mrs. Berkovich is well known for her culinary accomplishments and has been a consisten exhibitor at the Priddis-Millarville Agricultural Fair. She has won many prizesw through the years with cooking and needlework exhibitis. She was also intrumental in building a church in Black Diamond during the boom days of 1928-29 known as the Church of Christ, and conducted services there many times. It is now known as the Gospel Chapel. Mr. Berkovich recently sold his interests and the couple will reside in Black Diamond."

Story of Samuel Nailor aka Nailer/Naylor
Samuel NAILER was born 5 July 1796 in York County Pennsylvania. He was Christened 5 August 1796 at York County, Pennsylvania; died 1861 in Guilford Township and buried at Acme Cemetery, Guilford, Medina County, Ohio. Samuel moved to Cumberland County and lived there, married and had the first 4 children.
Samuel grew up on a farm and for several years of his youth spent much of his time in hauling whiskey from his father’s and other distilleries to Baltimore where the principal market was for their product. It took six horses to haul a load of thirty barrels of whiskey over the mountain highways.
He married 14 March 1820, Elizabeth UHLER, a native of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania recorded in 1st Evangelical Lutheran Church at Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (possible daughter of one Detrick UHLER also living in Cumberland County and on the census with George Nailer Jr.) They lived for a time on a small farm there, renting the farm until the fall of 1829 they set out in a covered two- horsed wagon for Ohio.

Samuel Naylor of Lorain County Ohio
He became one of the biggest land owners in Penfield, was of old Pennsylvania Stock and was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 27 February 1823 and was 85 years of age when called home to rest. His grandfather, Jacob Nailor was a farmer and distiller of whiskey when that was a principal industry in Pennsylvania.

Samuel's father Samuel Naylor Sr was born in York, Pennsylvania and grew up on a farm. For several years he spent much of his time hauling whiskey from his father's and other distilleries to Baltimore. It took 6 horses to haul one load of 50 barrels over the mountainous roadways. He was married in Cumberland County to Elizabeth Uhler, a native of that county and of German descent. After they were married they rented land for a while. They had 4 children while in Cumberland, Pennsylvania; Mary, Samuel, Benjamin K, Jacob and Rebecca and then had a daughter Eliza, at Lancaster County, PA before they went west.
In Medina County, Ohio they had four more children: John, William, Sarah and Henry. The mother of these children died on a farm in Medina County, and Samuel removed to Seville, buying a small farm in the village. He married second Harriet Sheldon, by whom there was one child, Harriet. He died at age 73, was a whig and abolitionist. He had traveled in the South and was convinced that the practice of slavery would never be decided except by war.
Samuel Naylor Jr was about six years old when the family moved to Guilford, Medina County, Ohio. He helped clear his father's land and besides working at home, he hired out to others and became a skillful shingle maker.
In 1845 he was married to Barbara Long, born September 1824 in Toronto, Canada, a daughter of John Long who settled in Medina County. After his marriage they lived in Litchfield and then moved to Penfield in Lorain County, OH where he bought 1007 acres of wild land for 6 dollars an acre. He had to cut through the woods to get to it. He had it paid for in a few years and converted it into a fertile farm.
Samuel by his first wife had the following children:Jacob, Henry, Elizabeth, Rebecca and Harriet A, Laney E, Emma, Mary, Harvey G and Dora. The mother died in January 1874. He then married Nancy E Yocum, who died in 1882 without having children.
By 1894 he married Sarah Elizabeth Arbaugh and had two sons Charle William and Samuel Hobart Naylor. She survived and resided at Wellington. Samuel acquired a large estate of 400 acres and erected a fine country home there. He was a successful business man but a leader in educational matters and donated some land for the building of a district school. He was active in the United Brethren church.
