William and Harriet Marshall interview [sound recording]
Harriett Marshall recalls early years at East Arrow Park. Her family came to Canada from Glasgow in 1914, following her grandmother who had come in 1909. The family came with the idea of fruit farming, but due to the difficult living and growing conditions they had to seek work in other occupations. Early living conditions are described, the adaptation of a barn into a home, early furniture, domestic chores; washing and cooking equipment and methods are described. She worked originally for the Clark Marshall family, and later went to work in Burton. William Marshall begins with recollections of his work in the woods, including at a lumber camp operated by Bill Waldy on Mosquito Creek where he undertook river driving among other duties. He talks about old timers in the area, Jack James, Sid Leary and Lord LaSalles. He discusses the family's attempts at fruit farming, and the conditions on the trip from Scotland. Harriett continues by recalling her time at Burton working for R.L. Jeune, the Kootenay Indians who resided in the town, and about Lance Porter.
