- History
- Richard Hardy was born in Fishborn, Alberta, on November 3, 1910. In 1922, his family moved to the home of his maternal grandparents at 1127 Edmonds Avenue in Burnaby. His parents, John Harrison Hardy and Gertrude Hephezebarh (nee Ward) moved to Burnaby with their four children: Edith; Richard "Dick"; Geoffrey; and John Edward "Jack". Gertrude was born in Barrie, Ontario. John Harrison Hardy was born in Yorkshire, England, and came to Canada in 1899, settling at Pincer Creek area of Southern Alberta. In about 1910, Richard's grandparents, Col. James Edward Ward and his wife Hephzibah (nee Hale) moved from Alberta to Burnaby. Col. Ward was the postmaster in the Lozell's area of Burnaby and was a city councillor for the District of Burnaby in 1915. Dick was enrolled at Edmonds Street School for his elementary school years, and later attended Burnaby South High School for two years, taking a commercial course. The family attended St. Alban's Anglican Church. While Richard was a student, he and his brother Geoff delivered newspapers in the area, making about $12 per month. In 1911, Dick joined the Burnaby Boy Scouts and continued to be involved for the next 40 years. In 1927, at the age of 17 years, Dick began work for the Corporation of the District of Burnaby as an office boy in the Treasurer's Department and retired as Tax Collections Supervisor in 1973 after 45 years of service. From September 1942 until his discharge in 1946, Dick served in WWII in the Canadian Army. His brother, Jack, served in the Canadian Air Force and was killed in April 1943. In 1933, Dick's parents moved back to Alberta with three of their children, leaving him in the family home on Edmonds Street. In 1939, after courting, he and Mabel Lilian "Mabs" Young of New Westminster married. Prior to her marriage, Mabs was employed as a teacher at the Burnaby South High School. Mabs and Dick had two daughters, Lynne (b. 1941) and Katherine (b. 1947). The family lived on Edmonds Street until 1947 when they moved into their second home in Burnaby at 2006 Buller Avenue (now 7185 Buller Avenue). In 1960, Mabs and Dick moved to their third Burnaby home, located at 4337 Wildwood Crescent. Mabs died in 1980. Dick continued to live in Wilwood Crescent house until 1983, when he moved to an apartment for one year but, missing his garden, he bought a small house with a large yard located at 8452 16th Avenue. He stayed in this house from 1985 until 1998 when he could no longer live independently. He moved to assisted living at Canada Way Lodge then to the nearby George Derby Centre where he lived for a few months before dying in August 2001. Dick loved to hike and camp and enjoyed his family and his garden.

- Fonds consists of a small collection of photographs documenting the Ferris family's time while Reverend Garfield James Ferris was a minister at the Church of the Nazarene, Burquitlam.
- History
- Reverend Garfield James Ferris and his family moved to Burquitlam from Red Deer, Alberta, in July 1955 to obtain a posting at the Church of Nazarene. Reverend Ferris and his wife Tabea (both aged 34 years) moved together with their three children, Lorne Garfield (age 13), Sharron Rose (age 10), and Faye Muriel (age 6). This was Reverend Ferris' first full-time church posting after having completed his Ministerial training at Canadian Nazarene College in Red Deer, Alberta. The family moved themselves into the parsonage which was located right next to the Church of Nazarene at 577 Clarke Road, Burquitlam. The parsonage was a two-bedroom bungalow, so the three children shared a room with a bunk bed, single bed, and a peg board as a room divider. Tabea Ferris worked for their aunt Marion Johnston who ran the Buena Vista Senior's home in New Westminster and then the Salvation Army Sunset Lodge in New Westminter to augment her husband's salary of $30.00 per week from the church. Reverend Garfield James Ferris was part of the New Westminster Ministerial Association, an Ecumenical group who took turns doing morning daily devotions on CKNW radio. The Ferris children attended Mountain View school, Winslow Junior High School, and Como Lake High School before the family moved to Lulu Island (now Richmond) in 1959.
