Reflections & recollections THE STORY OF 'GRANNY' SAHLSTROM Whe can find « virtuous woman, for her price is far Give her the fruit of her hands and let her works Praise her in the gates. —Preverbs 31 On Feb. 7, 1986, Castlegar lost another vital fragment from the fabric of its past. On that day, Gwen “Granny” Sahistrom, “being old and full of days, died”. She was less than a month short of her 84th birthday and her passing was widely mourned for she was both a pioneer in the most fundamental sense, and a very special and remarkable lady. First, let us establish a few fundamental facts about her, then have some of those who knew and loved her, fill in some details from their letters‘and memories. She was born Gwendolyn Olive Killough on March 1, 1902, in the small town of Pense near Regina where she took her first schooling. She came to Castlegar with her GWEN ‘GRANNY’ SAHLSTROM ...atage 8! the Hilltop Service Station. He logged, cleared land for hay for his horses, and built the first road — now 37th — street to the property and became a boarder with the Killoughs. On Sept. 1, 1920, the 39-year-old Charlie left Castlegar with the pretty, dark-haired 19-year-old Gwen family in 1913 at the age of 11. Other of the family included her mother Lillian, brother Arthur (killed in 1916 in the Somme), sisters May (Woolverton) Annie (Ball), Myrtle (Carlson) and Lillian (Dittrick) and brothers Joe, Harry, Jack and Jim, Her father Captain Joseph Arthur Killough—himself a man of pioneering stock—built the tall white house at the corner of Columbia Avenue and Christina Lake Highway and attempted to establish a fruit farm on the Summer is fast approach- ing and the Castlegar Aqua- and Monday, April 20 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. New swimmers must bring a Peal of their birth certificat The Auinneets have hired a new head coach for the 1986 The Aquanauts have long season.

Labor was searce and high, materials were in short supply, and the fruit trees too young to bear so that the project went bankrupt in 1920. The Killoughs lost both house and acreage and were forced to move to a log homestead on the upper bench. Meantime, Karl Johan “Charlie” Sahistrom (1891 1959) had come from Thorsby, Sweden, by a long route asa in Alberta, a raftsman on the Thompson River for the Grand Trunk Railway, a tie-cutter in Jasper, Alberta, a cutter of hand-hewn ties in Vancouver Island until he arrived in Castlegar in 1917 to work as a lumberman for the Merry Lumber company cutting lagging and stullg (mining_timbers)._He_then_ formed a partnership with George Merry and Bill Andétson tntil they weré Bought out “in 1919 bythe” Milestone Lumber company, a group of prairie farmers who had made money in wheat during the war. Charlie built his own camp on the site of what is now ibly for a dental in Trail. On arrival, they took a Great Northern train and eloped to Spokane, where they were married. The family was informed of the escapade by telegram. After the smoke had cleared and peace had returned to the clan the newlyweds moved to a two room frame building which Charlie had moved to his homestead on Blueberry Creek. The building was unlined, had no water and was so cold that Gwen recalled there were frost patterns where water fell on the floor. Despite the lack of amenities, Charlie's first wedding gift to his young bride was a new Mason and Rich piano, bought in Nelson and delivered to the little cabin, still in its original crate. Obviously, it was a case of establishing priorities since both families have always been passionately fond of music. They then moved to a log cabin on the homestead. Charlie continued to run a trapline in the Blueberry Creek, Champion Creek and China Creek areas, to work in the woods and to hunt bear and cougar, while Gwen ran the farm in front of the big rock which from the beginning the family called Mount Horab because there was a continuous spring running from the rock. (“And Moses lifted up,his band, and with hia rod smote the rock twice: and the water came abundantly.” Numbers 21). Latér, they moved to the fratiefouse‘where Gwen kept bees and continued to work with the haying until her 80th year.

The perfect alternative to credit cards It's hard to beat credit cards for shopping convenience. Or getting cash when you're a long way from where you bank. But a lot of people don’t like the pile of bills at the end of the month. And the interest charges on those bills if they aren't paid in full And the fact that if you use your credit card to get cash, interest charges start immediately, even if you do pay in full the minute you get your bill That’s why many credit unions are offering MASTERPLAN™ With MASTERPLAN™, you get a Credit Union MasterCard card. You can use it in over 4 million outlets worldwide. Get cash at more than 102,000 banking of- fices. Even use it as a cash access card at your Credit Union automated banking machines (where applicable) Here's the big difference: Your Credit Union MasterCard card can provide you with a line of credit — the line of credit is attached to your chequing account at your Credit Union, not your card. This means if there's money in your account, you don’t use credit If you do use your line of credit you pay Credit Union in- terest rates, not bank card finance charges, and you pay interest only until you deposit enough money to cover the credit If you get cash, and there's money in your account to cover it, you pay no interest charges at all! Best of all: At the end of the month you get one statement showing all your accounts. That's money management easy! wale =: Savings CREDIT UNION
