Esther Edgar

Staff reports — Fri, 22 Apr 2022 07:00:00 +0000

In loving memory of Esther Edgar born on April 12, 1905 to April 27th 1975 at Balmoral cannery to Jane Brown of Kispiox and Mr Dudoward of Port Simpson.
Esther’s mother Jane died when she was 16 years old leaving her and her two brothers orphans. Peter Brown of Two Mile joined the army in United States, George Wilson from Port Edward was placed in Jane’s sister Maggie Hudson’s home, and Esther was placed in Jane’s cousin Alice Brown’s home. Esther also had 3 foster sisters and one foster brother. Esther and her two brothers attended Sardis residential school.
Esther ‘s greatest love of her life which was an arranged marriage was Sylvester Edgar from Metlakatla Alaska. They had 11 children seven born at Kispiox reservation, one on Gitzagukla reservation, only one in the Hazelton hospital.
Of their 11 children only Martha went to residential school. When the Indian agent came to their home in Kispiox to take their kids to residential school, Sylvester threw them out of their house. The Indian agent came back and evicted Sylvester, Esther and their eight children off the reservation. Esther lost her status for being married to a “white” man. They bought a log house on eight acres of land in South Hazelton where they had two more boys and 6 adopted grandchildren.
Esther and Sylvester fit right in and enjoyed playing crib at the hall with the towns people. Esther joined the Women’s institute. She loved to garden. One of my fondest memories is all of us sitting at the table sewing quilts with our mother.
Sylvester loved to take Esther back to his hometown in Metlakatla every year after the fishing season was over. Some years they went to Vancouver. Their happiest trip was to Seattle Worlds Fair where they saw jazz singer – Louis Armstrong. They met a lot of relatives from Metlakatla there.
Another time that made them really happy was when they were in South Hazelton bar and a stranger came in looked around and came to their table and asked them, “Would you like to come with me and have a beer and meet Chief Dan George?” They went out to the car with him and had a beer and a good visit with Chief Dan George. Esther also met Premier McKenzie King when he visited Hazelton, she cooked for him.
Esther was really talented with sewing, embroidery, crocheting, and cooking, she made all her children’s clothes coats, mittens, socks, and toques.
Esther and Edith McDougall were cannery workers who left their families for the summer to work in the Namu Cannery in 1957. Namu and Balmoral canneries are no longer running.

Don’t remember me with sadness.
Don’t remember me with tears.
Remember all the laughter and singing.
We’ve shared through out the years.
Your loving daughter Mavis Jane Krause
and granddaughter Cheryl Watts Krause

Sylvester Jonathan Edgar

December 25, 1981
In loving Memory ~
Sylvester Jonathan Edgar was born in Metlakatla Alaska – October 27th, 1900 to December 25th, 1981. Sylvester left home to join the Marines when he was 18 years old. After serving his country for 4 years stationed in Seattle Washington, he travelled to Hazelton to visit his mother Sophie Morrison who was married to Richard Morrison in Kispiox. Sylvester never had a brother, so he was really happy to have Moses Morrison as his brother. They were really close, more than biological brothers. He told me he had eight sisters, Cora Crosby from Rupert, Harriet Hudson from Kitsalas, Ethel and Alivina from Metlakatla Alaska, Merriam from Seattle Washington, Kate from California, I can’t remember the other two.
Sylvester always worked, and his job as a logger across the river in Gitsegukla ( J. Woodcock logging camp ) was always waiting for him when he came back from fishing in Rupert. He always went on a trip with our mother after his fishing ended. Mostly to Metlakatla Alaska, Vancouver sometimes and the Seattle World’s Fair in 1963. They also visited us in Williams Lake and Revelstoke.
His mother Sophie was born in Metlakatla B.C., and her mother in Port Simpson B.C., so when I went to Rupert after I left home I never met so many relatives in my life.
Sylvester played drums in a band and baseball in his younger years. His favourite singer was Louis Armstrong who he saw at the World’s Fair in Seattle.
He moved his family back to Metlakatla Alaska before I was born but my mother was so sick there that they moved back to Kispiox where they got kicked off the reservation by an Indian agent because he wouldn’t allow his children to go to residential schools.
We had visitors from Metlakatla Alaska sometimes when fishing season was over. We had a cousin who worked on the payroll in the Whitehouse who told us he drank with Teddy Roosevelt.
He will always be remembered for his kindness to his friends and family. He made working around the house fun for the 6 adopted grandchildren that lived with us, and his cooking. He was also a cook on the Seine boat he worked on.

Although it’s sad to reminisce
on Christmases, we know
this year we shall celebrate
the memories of you.
We’ll put aside our sorrow
with every unshed tear.
And concentrate on all the joy
we shared when you were here.
With love
Cheryl Watts, Annette Sorensen,
Tracy Dutton and Mavis Krause.
