«/i»Elsie was living in Montreal in 1907 and then Winnipeg where she met Archie Evans. She was in S. Vancouver, BC in 1912 when she married. I have postcards from her aunt while she was in hospital before coming to Canada; she had a thyroid operation and wore a high lace collar to hide the scar in case she was refused entry.
