Rose ( Rosa in her baptism certificate, "Ma" to her four children) and her parents and siblings moved from Washington to the Prince Rupert/Terrace area in the early 1900's. Her parents eventually settled homesteading in Terrace, while Rose, her sister Sophia and brother Samuel finally settled in Prince Rupert. Rose married Frederick William Wesch on Sept. 16, 1911 and they built their home on 11th Ave. E. , where they had a large yard and various types of livestock (chickens, goats, and a large pig on one occasion). Ma and her two youngest sons were still living there near the beginning of WW 2, but were forced to move when the Canadian army built a barracks and anti-aircraft battery (four 3.7 inch guns as I recall) in the back yard. The house remained intact, but other structures such as chicken coops went up in flames.
The family moved to 516 8th Ave. E at this time.
Ma met and subsequently married commercial fisherman Carl August Lindquist ("Charlie") on Dec. 2, 1944 and remained at her home for several years after Charlie died. She moved to Comox, B.C. around 1970 to live with her eldest son Fred for a few years, and finally to Victoria to be with her youngest son Richard and daughter Rose. She spent her last few years in a retirement residence.
