B4 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, February 2, 2000 Beth Evans shares her history I WOULD love to share a story with you of a very lovely lady, Elizabeth (Beth) Evans. Beth celebrated her 90th birthday Dec. 21, 1909, at Terraceview Lodge. She felt it was an honour to have her birth- day fall on the same day as Harvey Doll, who turned 103 years old that same day. When I stop to think a while, 1 can’t imagine what life must have been like when Beth was grow- ing up. Life in those pioneer days must have been tough-going, particularly for a housewife. But when you reminisce with these pioneer women, they only remember the fun times and the excitement of that life long ago. They rarely speak of the hardship, the isolation or the hard physi- cal labour. And they say those were the “goad old . days!” Elizabeth Veronica (James ) Evans was-bom at home on the family homestead on Dec. 21, 1909 in Ste. Amelia, Man- itoba. Her parents were Wil- liam and Elizabeth James, who had seven children: Willie, Joe and Jerry, Celia, Mary, Elizabeth and Alice. Three of the ’ children, Elizabeth, Jerry and Alice, were born on “HERE ‘N' THERE YVONNE MOEN the homestead in Manito- ba. Beth started school in Ste. Amelia, but the fami- ly soon moved to Port Al- bernia on Vancouver Is- land. In Port Albernia, Beth worked doing housework for families. This is how she met her husband Lloyd Evans, who was a neigh- bour’s boy. They courted . and fell in love and were married on January 12,° 1935 in Port Albernia. While living there they had three children. Claire~ was born in 1936, Pat in 1938 and Edith in 1943. A fourth daughter Lois was born in Nanaimo in 1947. After their daughter Edith was born, they moved to Nanaimo and lived here until 1945. They lived in Parksville until moving to Prince Rupert in 1952. Mr. Evans went to work for Columbia Cell.

They then made a move to Terrace in 1953, Mr. Evans was Woods Superintendent and was transferred to Terrace by Columbia Cell, When they first moved to Terrace, they lived across fram the Legion in the Columbia Cell build- - ing - the old army build- ings at the Twin River Es- tate. There they had a big © apartment and lived here until they bought a home on the corner of Munroe and Davis. Beth loved to entertain for special dinners, bridge parties, card games and was always proud to serve beautiful refreshments. She was also an active mem- ber of the C.W.L., which . She had been involved with since 1934. In 1995 she became a life member. Beth was also an active volunteer for the Hospital Auxiliary and volunteer li- brarian at the Terrace Pub- lic Library.
