Accession Number: BHS1992-05

Scope and Content: Subseries consists of records and photographs created by the Thrussell family pertaining to their home and farm in the Marine Drive and Nelson area of Burnaby.

History: Harriett Fenwick came out west from North Dakota in 1892. She married Frederick "Fred" Thrussell and the couple opened the North Arm Dairy, the Thrussell farm and family business on Marine Drive at Nelson Avenue in Burnaby. After Fred Thrussell passed away, she sold of the dairy equipment and stock at an auction on January 18, 1910. Their eldest daughter Mary Anne “Annie” Thrussell (later Phillips, and later again Welsh) was born in Burnaby in December 1895. After marrying her first husband, she moved to Ferndale, Washington and had their son Lawerne Phillips. In 1930, she moved to Surrey with her second husband, Jim Welsh and her second child, Hazel. Fred and Harriet's son Frederick T. Thrussell was born in Burnaby in 1901. He attended Dundonald Public School in Burnaby, with Florence M. Bowell as his teacher in 1911. As a youth, he worked in a shingle mill and spent the rest of his working years in shingle and sawmills. Frederick T. and Ruth McMillan were married March 9, 1929 and the couple moved to Surrey. Fred and Harriet's second daughter, Ethel Thrussell (later Cleghorn), attended Alta Vista Public School as a senior in 1913 where J.G. Whiten was her teacher. Their third daughter, Eva H. Thrussell, went to Riverway East School with Helena F. Crake as her teacher. In 1914, Eva attended Nelson Avenue School with F. Anderson as her teacher. Their youngest daughter Edith Thrussell (now Cleghorn) also attended Riverway East in the same class as her sister Eva. When eldest daughter Annie celebrated her 90th birthday in December of 1985, Edith was her only living sibling.

Scope and Content: Subseries consists of records and photographs created by the Tinkerbell Cooperative Kindergarten. Photographs depict students participating in various classroom activities and field trips.

History: Tinkerbell Cooperative Kindergarten was established in 1955. The school was spearheaded by a group of mothers who felt that four and five year olds would benefit from a preschool. In February of that year, they met with the President of the Parent Teachers Association (PTA) and two members from the Helper's Committee of the Cooperative Play Group Association. They began meeting weekly to plan the opening of a local play group. On March 26, the group held a salvage drive to raise funds for equipment, and, with the help of the fathers, raised $142.00. They continued to raise funds though bingo, teas, and dances. Fathers made a stove, kitchen cabinets, easels, hand carved animals, screens, shelves and a wash stand. The Cooperative Kindergarten opened April 18, 1955 with an enrollment of 23 children. Lucy Emma Brown is considered the founder of the school, teaching kindergarten from the school's beginning in 1955 until it closed in 1968.

Accession Number: BHS1996-20

Scope and Content: Subseries consists of photographs of the squatter community known as Crabtown that ran along the Burrard Inlet, accompanied by articles about growing up in that community.

History: Gustav and Aune Rintanen came to Vancouver from a mixed farm on the prairies in 1936 with the hopes of finding employment. The couple had two children: nine year old Aili (later Topalian) and eight year old Trudi (later Tuomi), when they moved to a “squatters shack” at North Burnaby’s waterfront Crabtown community in 1937. They paid 50 dollars for their two-room cabin, which was built on a platform and supported by pilings. Though the squatters’ homes that ran along the Inlet were commonly referred to as shacks and Crabtown a slum, in reality they were very neatly kept homes in a community. Crabtown residents rallied together to build a water supply system and trails up the steep bluff with stairs and banisters so children could go to school safely. Before Gustav found a job, he “busied himself with fixing up the place”: building a new chimney, railing, wood shed, clothes line and sauna for his family. By 1940, he was working at the mill near Windermere pool (now New Brighton Park). Aune worked as a dishwasher and prep cook at Ye Olde English Fish and Chips in downtown Vancouver. In 1946, they sold the cabin for two hundred dollars and moved to a small house. All Crabtown squatters were eventually evicted in 1959.
