Peter, born 25 Nov 1889, is recorded with his parents in 1906 Canada Prairie census (in Saskatchewan) and with his parents in the 1911 Canada Census (at "Deep Creek" in BC - east of Armstrong/Enderby)

Peter Hedman is NOT indexed on the 1916 Canada Prairie census (familysearch); Nor is he indexed on the 1915 ND State Census

From Jones FT on ancestry:
Residence, 1911, Tisdale Saskatchewan, Canada
He returned to Sask. around 1911 and farmed there until his retirement. His mother resided with him after her husbands death in 1916, until her passing in 1931
BUT:
The Jones FT also records a US Draft Card, WW 1, with a date of 5 Jun 1917 and dated at Sheyenne ND
Pete Hedman, age 27, b 25 Nov 1889 at Sheyenne with his address at Sheyenne; working on a farm (Peder Dolstand, Sheyenne)(;
- also notes that his mother is living with him and dependent on him (question 9, "Have you a father, mother ..... living with you and wholly dependant on you")
- single; tall, medium, blue eyes, light hair

Thus, it is more likely that Peter (b 1889) and mother (Stina/Christina, b 1855 in Sweden) moved back to Sheyenne ND after his father died on 8 July 1916. And then after 1917 and prior to 1921, Peter and his mother moved to Saskatchewan and likely back to the farm that his father initally had

But from the Enderby Press and Walkers Weekly, Enderby, BC; 26 Oct 1916; page 1 col 1
"P. Hedman left last week with a car of effects and stock for Vantage, Saskatchewan." [Vantage - east of Mazenod; abt 15 kms north of Assiniboia]
