Scope and content
RECORDED: [location unknown], 1964-10-01 SUMMARY: TRACK 1: Mrs. Catherine J. O'Neail moved from Calgary to Slocan, B.C., in 1897 with her family. She recalls some first impressions of Slocan City, the lake transportation, the hotels, Main Street, and the mining activity of the area. Mention is made of early residents Anthony Madden, Billy Clements, and Tom Mulvey. She discusses the town's incorporation, the first mayor and the possibility that it may have been called the "Fletcher Town Site". Her first husband was the secretary-treasurer for the Miner's Union, and this position took him to many mining stakes. She recalls the early churches, Dr. Foran, Mr. Shooke, Eli Carpenter, social activities and Myrtlebee Landing.
TRACK 2: Mrs. O'Neail continues with a description of Slocan, which was undergoing economic decline. Her description of Slocan includes its schools, the emerging lumber industry, the Doukhobor settlers, the lake boats, Sandon, Slocan Lake, Captain Jeffrey, the position of mines on the east side of the lake, G. Aylard, Judge Harris and Bill Harris.
