His father worked on the boats
between Northport, U.S.A. and
Arrowhead, but later went to
work on.a fruit farm between
Needles and Edgewood so ‘his
children could attend a school,

When he ‘was older, Byron
Trussler worked on a tugboat
with Capt. Sutherland on the
upper Arrow Lakes, In 1926, he
began work for Waldies aé
fireman on a tug.

Ethel Trussler was an only

child, born in the South African

Transvaal at Cleveland, outside
Johannasburg, where her

, father, George Ashburner, was

superintendent of the Harriet
Diamond Mine.,The famivy later
moved to Canada and settled at
Galena Bay on a farm.

Mr. Trussler used to row
the nine miles across the Sid-
mouth to Galena Bay to visit
with Miss Ashburner. On Dec.
30, 1926, they were married at
the home of her parents,

It was 25 degrecs below
zero in Castlegar at that time,
but the newlyweds finally
reached Kamloops for their
honeymoon, Their return trip
was made in several stages—by
train from Kamloops to Arrow-
head; by boat (Minto) to
Nakusp; by train to Rosebery;
by boat to Slocan City; by train
to Nelson; and back to Castle-
gar by train—the journey
achieved in one day.

Their married life began in
a small house located behind
Farmer's Grocery Slore (later

West's), and several moves

were made by the couple prior
to purchasing their present
home 89 years ago.

Mr. Trussler worked as a
machinist and engineer for
Waldie’s Mill, then on the West
‘Kootenay Dam at Brilliant for
two-and-a-half years. He re-
turned to Waldies and Celgar,
working there for 45 years
prior to his retirement,

Mrs. Trussler and her
daughter Margaret have been
active members of the Anglican
Church and the Church Wo-
men’s organization for many
years. Mrs. Trussler also be-
longed to the IODE while it was
active and was involved in the
Guide movement for years.
