The family lived in tents for about a year until a log cabins were built. Anna and her sisters helped out their parents with gardening and farming, picked berries off the land and caught fish in the spring and canned them. When she was older she worked as a nanny for families in the area and as a nurses aid at the hospital in Vanderhoof. Happy Birthday Anna. (Blair McBride photo)
