Function Junction Mill bankruptcy papers

Set of documents relating to the bankruptcy of the Function Junction sawmill owned by Edward Thomas. The first page lists the assets and liabilities of the debtor and contains brief information about the mill. The second and third pages contain lists of creditors and how much is owed to each. The creditors include Wallace Betts and Thomas Neiland Sr. and Jr.

The sawmill was located at 34 Mile, on the right of way of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway [Function Junction area]. It had insufficient power to operate to capacity, and a new power plant was under construction but had not yet been completed at the time of bankruptcy.

Jenny Bett's Writings - Memoirs

Jenny recounts her family's many moves, the death of her father, her mother's remarriage to Thomas Neiland, the logging operation and daily life in the Whistler Valley (at Mons, Alpha Lake, 34 1/2 Mile [Function Junction area], and Nita Lake), the birth of her brothers Robert and Thomas, her Uncle Jim Laidlaw's time in the valley, meeting and marrying Wallace Betts, logging work at the Alaric operation at Parkhurst, tobogganing, raising her children, flooding in the early 1940s, her brothers' service in World War II, the family's time at Port McNeill on Vancouver Island living at a work camp Wallace was working at, her appendicitis operation and hemorrhages which required a blood transfusion from Wallace, Thomas Neiland's passing and the selling of the 34 1/2 Mile property in the 1950s.

After many blank pages, there is an entry from December 19-28, 1981 recounting a large holiday get-together with the extended Jardine family in the Lower Mainland (each couple travelling from several places in BC to join). The following page is an entry written by Jenny on February 22, 1982 describing another large family get-together with the Jardine clan at a nursing home to celebrate Lizzie Neiland's 100th birthday with some champagne.
