- Object History
- Rhoda Maie Jeffers (middle name also spelled Mae) was born in July 1, 1904 in River Hebert, Nova Scotia to Albert Clifford Jeffers (1877 - 1967) and Eldora McAloney (1879 - 1978). The family moved to British Columbia in 1912, living in Vancouver at various addresses before moving to Burnaby around 1950 residing at 4254 Charles Street. 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). Due to a severe injury in 1969, Rhoda was forced to retire and sometime after, she moved in with her parents at 4254 Charles Street. Rhoda continued to reside at this address until a year before her death in 1990.

player piano

- 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)
