Old home to be destroyed

YVONNE MOEN

A FEW MONTHS ago
when Helen and I were run-
ning around taking pictures
for a project called ‘This
Old House’, we went to
visit Harry Chemko.

Harry lives on a piece of
property on Kalum Road
that he bought in 1957.

He purchased the land
from Mr. Jenson who had
bought the original
homestead from — early
pioneer Donald Bruce.

Bruce came to Terrace in
1907, The first home he
built on his property was
destroyed by a fire,

Jessie Bruce, Donald's
wife, was able to get family
members out of the house in
lime, but she wasn’t able to
save any of their belong-
ings.

Soon after the fire, Donald
aud bis brother Alexander

built a new two-storey log:

"THIS OLD HOUSE PROJECT": Harry Chemko stands beside the ald heritage

home on his property, which is a part of the Donald Bruce homestead.

house on the same section
of Jand.

This house, which was
four miles out on Kalum
Road and half a mile from
Giggey Sawmill, still stands
there today.

However, the house is
leaning very badly and will
soon be taken down by the
Chemko family.

Harry Chemko came to
Terrace in 1956 from Kel-

vington, Saskatchewan. He
arrived in Terrace by train
to look for work.

He first found a job work-
ing for. Mr. Poble and be-
cause he had previously
worked in the oi] business,
he was approached to take
over the Home (Qil
businesses in Terrace, which
he became well-known for.

Later he went into the

_ road building business.

When Chemko bought his
property in 1957, it was a
160 acre parcel of land from
the original homestead of
Donald Bruce, which had
been 640 acres of timbered
farmland.

Thank you to Mr. Chemko
for his time and for the op-
portunity to take his picture
beside the old home. Good
health to him.
