An inspiring visit |

HERE ‘'N- THERE
YVONNE MOEN

EARLIER THIS summer, |
had the great privilege to
spend some time with
Maud Bevan, who had re-
turned for a visit.

Maud Beverly Bevan
was born alt Kitselas in
1945,

Mrs. Hudson, who deli-
vered many of the babies
at Kitselas, was the mid-
wife.

Maud’s parents were
very well known and loved
by the people of the com-
munity: Flora and Gunnar
Edlund.

Her sister, Isabelle Mc-
Kee, was born in 1938 and
brother Mel Bevan in
1941.

Like Maud, they were
also born at Kitselas with
Mrs. Hudson attending at
their births.

Maud grew up in Kitse-
las, going to the elemen-
tary school there under the
instruction of school tea-
cher Miss Bailey (Timms).

In 1957, a lot of homes
were burnt down due to a
big fire.

Maud’s mother decided

ISABELLE MCKEE (back) and her yaunger sister
Maud Bevan grew up in Old Kitselas.

to move the children into
Terrace so they could con-
tinue with their schooling.

Maud later moved to
Prince Rupert to finish her
education, and then she
joined the work force.

It was while she lived
in Prince Rupert that she
was the largel of a vicious
domestic dispute.

She was assaulted by
her husband,

The incident left her in
a wheelchair for the rest of
her life.

Maud eventually moved
to Vancouver, where she
could be near the medical
treatment she required for
years afterwards.

The Maud Bevan House
opened in Prince Rupert

on March & 1981, after
three years of work by
local feminist groups.

The facility, which has
since undergone several
name changes, was a shel-
ter for battered wornen.

It was a refuge where
they could escape the bru-
talities of abusive relation-
ships.

While she was here in
the summer, Maud told me
she always looks forward
to returning back home to
Terrace and Kitselas to
visit her family and
friends.

It’s always a real plea-
sure to spend a couple of
hours with Maud and her
sister Isabelle, both very
beautiful ladies.
