With an addy like S36SE T24 R23 W2M, it is probly a farm. It's located 1m N & 6 m W of Strasbourg SK via look ups at: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/post-offices/index-e.html Saskatoon Sec.28, Twp.36, R.5, W3 - 1884-10-01 Regina Sec.19, Twp.17, R.19, W2 - 1882-11-01 Findlater Sec.16, Twp.21, R.25, W2 - 1908-05-01 Strasbourg Sec.25, Twp.24, R.22, W2
Looking at https://maps.google.com/ Strasbourg's in Sec 25SW I think there're a couple of buildings on his quarter section, but it gets blurry when I try to magnify enough to tell.
