Textual materials donated by Louise Smith on August 13, 2020 regarding the history of the Jardine-Neiland and Betts families, including memoirs by her mother, Jenny Betts (nee Jardine), a Christmas card from Grace Archibald to Jenny Jardine dated 1937, and a Pacific Great Eastern Railway Company track tie order for November 22, 1937 addressed to Wallace Betts.

A short memoir of Wallace Bett's life before marrying Jenny Jardine c. 1920s-1930s, dictated to Jenny by Wallace Betts and handwritten by her. The account mostly details the may jobs he had working in BC, Saskatchewan, Washington, and Ontario, as well as the ailments of his parents which required care by his family and friends. The end of the memoir mentions how he arrived to 34 1/2 Mile and married Jenny Jardine.

Memoirs written by Jenny Betts (nee Jardine) recounting her life, starting from her birth in 1912 and finishing with entries written in 1982 celebrating Lizzie Neiland's 100th birthday. 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.
