Memorable Manitobans: William “Bill” Streich (1911-1977)
Farmer, inventor.
Born at Beausejour on 18 August 1911, son of Adolph C. Streich (1887-1972) and Ottilie Recksiedler (1890-1977), brother of Frederick Hermann Streich, he grew up on Fillmore Farm east of Clandeboye where his father was the farm manager. With his brother, he experimented in the design of rotary combines that have now become commonplace. On 20 June 1935, he married Meta Elsa Drewlo (1915-2008) at Beausejour and they had three sons on their farm north of Clandeboye. In 2018, he was inducted posthumously into the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame.
