> °° Elsie McDonald Kenney
‘~ Smith was born on August 14,
"1907 in Yarmouth, Nova
-» Scotia. At an early age she mov-

“ed with her family to Kitselas,
- which was the end of the

railway from the East. In

‘November, 1911 she moved

with her family, Mr. & Mrs.
Brenton Kenney, her brother
Orval and her sister Gladys, by

Steamboat to Terrace. She was

among the first eight children
required to have a school open-
ed in the area.

- Her father was the ferryman
who ran the ferry which crossed
the Skeena Slough. Her father
drowned in 1913 when he tried
to untangle a tree from the ferry
ropes. The family left for Nova
Scotia but retumed a year later.
Elsie completed her elementary

‘schooling in Terrace and then

moved to Prince Rupert to com-
plete her studies as there was no
high school in Terrace.

In 1925 she went to Victoria
and after 3 years at Royal
Jubilee Hospital she graduated
as an R.N, She returned to Ter-
race and married Jim Smith on
January 30, 1929. Elsie never
took up an official nursing posi--
tion in Terrace but will be
remembered for working with
Dr. Mills whenever and
wherever she was needed.

Elsie was a devoted member
of the United Church in Terrace
and especially enjoyed her work
with the young people. She led.
the CGIT: girls and''acted ‘as
camp ‘colinsellor” af “* Lakelse
Lake church camps. *

From 1936 until 1952 Jim and
Elsie ran a general store in what
is today the building housing

lives there now... .

With. parents Fran and Alice
Grelson about to head for their

- new home in Mill Bay (just out-
side.of Victoria), children Ran- |

dy and Tammy decided they
should both get married. They.

‘gave their parents just three

days notice. and on Sunday,

‘March 24 Randy and Barb and

Tammy and Tom were wed in a

double ceremony.
Congratulations to the happy

couples and best of luck to Fran

Danny’s Pool Halil.

Elsie and Jim took in Jean as
a newborn infant in 1943 and
legally adopted her and welcom-

ed her into the Smith family. °

They provided an open house
for the lonely soldiers’ wives
stationed in Terrace during the
war years, Elsie had maintained
contact with many of them over
the years. :

~ In 1955 Elsie, Jim, and Jean -

moved to Victoria due to Jim's
poor health. Jim died there in
1959. Elsie. maintained close
contact with her many friends
and family in Terrace and made
numerous trips back. She made
one special trip in August, 1987
to attend an eightieth birthday
party in her honour at her
niece’s, Jo Sandhals, at Lakelse
Lake. ,

After a 33 year absence Elsie
Smith returned to take up
residence in Terrace once again.
She was thrilled with the move
into her new home at Twin
River Estates but was only just
getting settled in when she pass-
ed away unexpectedly on Tues-
day, March 13, 1990.

She will be sadly missed by
her daughter Jean Betts, grand-
sons Paul and James, sister
Mrs. Gladys (Blackie) McCon-
nell, and numerous other family
members and friends.

All who knew Elsie Smith will
remember her for her wonderful
outlook on life and the enjoy-
ment she got from her many ac-

“tivities and hobbies. She will be

especially remembered for her
love of writing letters, eating ice
cream, doing her needlework
and playing bridge.

Time to consider.

. With the exception of the
committee, it is likely a little
early for most folks to be think-
ing about Riverboat Days.
After all there is still now lying
around.

Snow melts and time slips by,
all too quickly, and now is ex-
actly the time to start planning
for Aug. 2 - 6 and the biggest
and best Riverboat Days
celebration ever.

Riverboat Days is a yearly
event that is uniquely Terrace ~
it is a page from our past, reliv-
ed in the present and uniting us
with the future.

Riverboat Days brings people
from near and far to our
beautiful city to share with us
the fun and games of our special
celebration.

Many service clubs, organiza-
tions, businesses and in-

Kinettes
. Contributed

’ The Mothers March Meals
campaign was a huge success
raising $913 — more than $100
higher than. last year, Our
thanks and appreciation to all
the local hotels, restaurants and
fast food outlets which made
the event possible through their
participation.
