Elsie lived on the family “ranch” until her marriage to Frank Whitlow on Oct, 25, 1909, Frank had come to Canada from England in the late 1890s. He had served with the Royal Canadian Dragoons in the Boer War and come north with a surveying crew working for the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad..

Unfortunately, the bureaucrats intervened and Ot- tawa: told Harrison federal policy said she would have to go because a couple could not _work at the same place. With that news, the couple left in a canoe in the middle of winter connecting to the train to Kitselas. Elsie and Frank had two daughters: born in Kitselas — Violet, Nov. 21, 1910 and Dorothy, April 21, 1915. Violet married Oscar Sather in Usk in 1933 and Dorothy married Fred Scott, son of T.H. Scott.
