A Prairie Girl S Life The Story Of The Reverend Edna Lenora Perry

From Edna's childhood wearing a flour sack dress while living in a leaky barn to breaking ground in a small mid-west city, outdoor education and the ministry, this story chronicles a determined Canadian prairie pioneer through defining 20th century world events. The following excerpt is from the dedication of her street, Edna Perry Way: "If you grew up in Transcona between the 1950s and 1980s you likely will know the name Edna Perry".

The Prairie Girl Stories is about my mother's life when she was a little girl who lived with her family on the unsettled Canadian prairie. Her name was Irene.Over one hundred years ago, Elna Irene Rosenberg was born in Seattle, Washington, and moved to the Saskatchewan prairie when she was only one year old, and her brother Roy was just an infant. Her brother Adolf joined their family on the prairie when Irene was four years old, and her sister, Violet, was born in Seattle after they left the prairie when Irene was nine years old. Growing up I loved to hear the stories that Grandma and my mom would tell. When I was a little girl the prairie stories were as much loved as my nursery rhymes and fairy tale books. In my mother's late years, she and I spent many enjoyable hours reliving those early years of her life. Her memories were still as vivid as if they had just happened. My mother and her family truly lived the pioneer life from 1911-1919 while homesteading on the vast Saskatchewan prairie in Canada. These are her stories?But the stories first have to begin earlier in the late 1800s when my grandmother Hilda, Irene's mother was a little girl just arriving from Sweden?The following stories and Swedish family history are a gift from Hilda, Irene and myself to you. Mom expressed that she would be deeply honored if I'd compile her stories into a little book to be passed down and remembered. Lovingly, I've chosen The Prairie Girl Stories as its title.
