"I sold a cow my mother had given me, to raise the money for the fare...and we sold some coyote pelts to a fur buyer. We boarded the train in Oyen, Alberta on Christmas Day, 1918...When we arrived in Edmonton, I had the 1918 flu and was in the hospital for a month. My husband could only get 5 days work...We arrived in Vanderhoof in the middle of the night with only twenty five cents to our name. The mail carrier took us to the hotel."

Seventeen year old Mary Hemstreet left Oyen with her husband in December 1918 to seek out the rich fur trapping grounds of the central interior of British Columbia. Although they had intended to travel to Burns Lake, their enforced stopover in Edmonton left them with only enough money to reach Vanderhoof.

On her arrival in Vanderhoof early in 1919, Mrs Hemstreet found a job washing dishes at the Vanderhoof Hotel while her husband found employment at the camp located near Sinkut Mountain. She stayed with a young family in Mapes and only saw her husband on the weekends.

After six months, she received a letter from her husband that he had a job in Johnson's General Store in Vanderhoof. They moved into a log house beside the Nechako River. "We had a kitchen, living room and one bedroom..and I had 4 boarders who came in to eat". Mrs Hemstreet supplemented her husband's earnings by helping with housecleaning and laundry ... 35 cents an hour or a dollar for three hours. As well, she made baked goods to sell in the store, her husband packing home 100 pound sacks of flour on his shoulders which she would bake into buns. Next, they moved to Cluculz Lake during haying season. After haying they moved to the far side of the lake to start a muskrat trapline, living in an abandoned 8 ½ foot square cabin with a dirt floor and sod roof. During the winter of 1919, they ran out of food and lived on muskrat legs, bear meat, and beans. They sold their muskrat pelts to a fur buyer in Prince George for $4.50 each.

In March 1920 they walked in hip deep snow 15 miles across the lake to get to Finmore and take the train to Oyen Alberta, as Mrs Hemstreet was expecting her first baby. Once she was born, they moved to Walcott British Columbia where they spent the next 27 years.

Now [1980] retired, widowed, and living near Victoria, Mrs Hemstreet plays the violin, organ and accordian, decorates cakes, crochets, and has a gift for story telling.⁷

Kyle homesteaded NW 6-31-3-W5, which is now owned by Mr. Alex Blain. In 1904 he married Minnie Anderson and they settled on the homestead at Rugby. Their three children; Leslie, Mae, and Lawrence were born in a log house there. Mrs. Charlie Brown, a neighbor who was a mid-wife, assisted at their births.
Minnie and Kyle Oliver were both fond of hunting and sports of all kinds. Fish were caught as far away as Pine Lake, also at the still popular big fishing hole in the Fallen Timber River. Minnie and Kyle went hunting coyotes on horseback and with coyote hounds. The hides were sold and also the hides of muskrat, beaver, mink, lynx and weasles. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson of the Calgary Hides and Fur store of Simpson and Lee often went hunting deer, moose and antelope with them.
Mrs. Oliver was a Charter Member of Rugby W.I., being present at the first meeting in 1913. Mr. Oliver owned one of the first cars in the Rugby District.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Oliver were fond of taking pictures. Mrs. Oliver used a dark part of their basement for developing and printing. They attended dances at houses and schools where Mr. Oliver played the violin to help out with the music.
Mr. Kyle Oliver passed away in 1921 of pneumonia.¹
