Physical Description: 4 photographs and 1 pamphlet

Description Level: Subseries

Accession Number: BHS1985-03; BHS1985-09; BHS1991-33

Scope and Content: Subseries consists of a photograph of the Moxham residence on 6th Street in Burnaby, photograph of Edmonds Street School class, and a pamphlet called "Gilmore Generations". Also included are two photographs of the Brook House at 7725 4th Street.

History: Kathleen Moxham was born in England in 1911. She emigrated from England with her family in 1912, settling first in New Westminster, BC. A year later, they moved to a large house on Sixth Street in Burnaby, BC. Kathleen’s father, Godfrey Moxham, worked as a contractor. He cleared land and built houses, including the Brook House (now the Normanna Rest Home). He died April 8, 1968. Kathleen attended Edmonds Elementary School and later Burnaby South High School. She remembers going on strike with fellow Edmonds Elementary students in 1919 when teachers refused to allow students a spring holiday after so much time had been lost to school closures brought on by the influenza epidemic earlier in the school year.
