- Description
- "Ludwig" brand Swing Drumming Manual, stamped inside with "VANCOUVER DRUM CO./779 KINGSWAY/VANCOUVER 10, B.C."
- Object History
- This item was from John Yanko's drum kit. Annie D. Basiuk (later Yanko) was born on February 25, 1902 in Sheho, Saskatchewan (formerly Sheho, North West Territories). Daniel "Dan" Yanko was born in Kobilnicha, Ukraine in 1887 and immigrated to Canada in May or June of 1905. Daniel Yanko married Annie D. Basiuk and had thirteen children together. Their son, John Ivan Yanko was born on the family farm, near Kelliher, Saskatchewan, on June 27, 1923. In grade six, John was pulled out of school to help support the family. Eugenia “Jenny” Haresomovych (later Carman) was born August 8, 1904 in Galecia, Austria. She came to Canada in 1928, when her parents sent her to live with the Austrian consular in Halifax. A year later, she was in The Pas with Albert Edward Carman, with whom she would have three children. Their daughter, Leida Doria "Lillian Doris" Carman was born in The Pas, Manitoba March 24, 1929. Eugenia “Jenny” (Haresomovych) Carman later re-married Joseph Nagy who was born in Hungary in October 3, 1900. Jenny, Joseph and the children moved to Nelson, British Columbia, where Joseph worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway. At the age of twenty, John Yanko met his future wife Lillian Doris Carman while visiting relatives in Burnaby. Lillian received a rail pass because of her dad’s employment with the CPR and at fourteen had gone to visit her Godmother in Burnaby. John Ivan Yanko and Leida Doria "Lillian Doris" Carman were married October 16, 1948 in Nelson, British Columbia and moved into the basement of John’s sister’s house on Union Street. Lillian began working at the downtown Woodward’s store as a cashier in 1948. In 1950, the young couple bought property at 7385 (later renumbered 7391) Broadway in Burnaby and began constructing a house as they could afford it. Knowing she’d be let go if she was pregnant, when Lillian was expecting her first child, Jenny sewed her several versions of the same outfit; they all used the same material, but each was a little bit larger than the last to accommodate her expanding girth. Rhonda, born in 1953 and Charmaine, born in 1955, grew up in the Broadway home. They attended school at Sperling Elementary, and later at Burnaby North high school. Lillian left her job to be a stay-at-home mom when Rhonda was born, but that changed in 1963 when John and Charmaine were in a car accident that left John temporarily unable to work. Joseph Nagy died April 20, 1962; his wife Eugenia “Jenny” (Haresomovych) (Carman) Nagy passed away August 14, 1985. Daniel "Dan" Yanko died in 1976; his wife Annie D. (Basiuk) Yanko died in 1997. John Yanko later returned to work, establishing his own tile setting business and working until age eighty-two. John and Lillian lived out the rest of their married lives on the Broadway property. John Ivan Yanko passed away in 2010; his wife Leida Doria "Lillian Doris" Carman (Carman) Yanko passed away in 2011.

Albert and Eldora Jeffers had three children; Rhoda Maie (Mae), Sarah Etta "Muriel" (later Webster) and Charles Kenneth Leroy (1906-1970). Rhoda began teaching in Grand Forks in 1922 and one of her early teaching posts included Eriksdale, Manitoba. Rhoda divided her teaching career between Alberta, Lake Cowichan, Agassiz and North Delta. In 1952, Rhoda worked as an exchange teacher in England and in 1957, Rhoda graduated from UBC with a Bachelor of Education (secondary specialization).

- BV985.116.1
- Description
- Coin operated automatic player piano. Made by the J. P. Seeburg Piano Co. of Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. The serial number on the sound board is 62547. The number 5917 is stamped inside the piano body on the keyboard frame. This is an upright grand piano in seven octaves. The body is wood with a metal sound board. The main flywheel and bellows is driven by an electric motor in the base. The piano roll and the "harmonica" are also located in the base. The original coin slot and the rotating "On/Off" switch are on the right side. The slide lever to adjust the speed of the roll is on the left just above the key board. This lever moves a friction clutch against the flywheel to adjust the speed of the roll. There are three foot pedals to add colour to the sound. The piano has been refurbished and a new electric motor installed. The rubber tubing is new, as is the controlling circuitry.
- Object History
- Based on the serial number, it is likely that this piano was made in 1915 by an off shoot of the J. P. Seeburg Piano Company, Haddorff. Haddorf was located in Rockford, IL.
- Marks/Labels
- "/ CHICAGO", embossed on the right side of the sound board. "62547", stamped into the sound board near the top centre "J.P. Seeburg / ELECTRIC / Upright Grand", stylized gothic script printed in gold on the underside of the key cover (shows when key board exposed)
