RECORDED: [location unknown], 1965-01-08 SUMMARY: TRACK 1: Lila M. Frost recalls her early years in British Columbia. Her family came to Victoria from New Brunswick in 1897. Her father, John Coburn, was a railway worker, businessman, first mayor of Ladysmith and mayor of Nanaimo. She attended the Normal School in Vancouver and trained for teaching. Her first job at the age of 17 was teaching in Silverton. She relates her experiences in Silverton, the social life, the town, the hotel, the miners, remittance men and the teaching conditions. She then taught in Duncan and Ladysmith, where she met her husband, a doctor. She recalls the Wellington miner's strike of 1912.
TRACK 2: Lila Frost continues her discussion about the strikers, strike breakers, and incidents. She discusses her husband's medical duties, his education and associates. She relates a story about a niece of the Dunsmuirs, who married Dr. Wassen and later moved to Victoria. She also discusses the influenza epidemic that occurred after WWI.
