Lilian Sterner recalls that her father came to Canada alone at the age of 16. He was one of 14 children and his father was the caretaker of a museum in Linz, Austria. They lived in the basement of that museum. Sterner visited Linz about 15 years ago, she was shown the exact place where her father had slept in, it was just some kind of hole in the wall. As they had so many children, they didn't have room for all of them. Her father came to Canada because it was considered a place of opportunity.\nSterner's mother came to Canada together with her parents. She doesn't know why they came to Canada, they had been peasant workers in Austria. They must have also heard about opportunities in Canada but Sterner thinks that none of them had heard about the cold weather which they didn't have in Austria, they didn't have 30 degrees Celsius below. The availability of space and the land was pretty important for them.\nSterner's aunt came to visit them from Austria several years ago, and she was astonished by the open spaces from Saskatoon to Humboldt. Her aunt couldn't believe that and asked how they could ever visit their neighbours. When Sterner visited Austria she couldn't believe how jammed up they were. Everything is seeded, there is no spare space anyplace. It looks like a quilt, little pieces of land all over, every inch is used. She was amazed at that.\nHer parents worked for other people on the farm until her father got his homestead land. Her maternal grandparents lived in town in Humboldt and weren't farmers. Her grandfather was the caretaker of the church, and her grandmother did the laundry for everybody. She doesn't know how her parents met. Her father was here alone and there were no other relations with him. Her father sawed wood and did other work before he settled down towards Middle Lake, not that far from Humboldt, and applied for homestead land. He chose his land by driving around and seeing it before that, a he had worked for a farmer in that area before, grinding the feed for pigs and cows. Most people didn't have their own grinding equipment, so Sterner's father would hire himself out at different places to do that. It wasn't the best of land because Lake Lenore has the best farm land. Her father didn't stay at his homestead to long. When he met Sterner's mother who was living in Humboldt with her parents, her father moved closer to town. Sterner grew up 15 miles from Humboldt. When she got married, they moved about 30 miles away, and after 15 years of marriage, they moved back to the Lake Lenore area and lived there at her husband's parents' place, and took care of them.\nHackl's father was born in Linz, Austria. Her mother's birthplace (also in Austria) had a funny name but she can't recall it. Sterner's husband was born in Lake Lenore, Saskatchewan. Her husband's parents came from Passau, Germany.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788#t=6.0,437.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788/index/52299/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"family life","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"granaries","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"grandparents","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"immigration","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"weather","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788#t=6.0,437.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788/index/52299/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Austrians","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788#t=6.0,437.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788/index/52299/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Places of residence, building a farm house, lack of electricity","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788#t=437.0,550.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788/index/52299/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Sterner has never moved away too far from Humboldt.

The worked all summer on the house but when they moved in, there was still a pile of lumber in the front room \"but we survived\". There was no power or telephone. Her parents didn't get power until they moved to Humboldt in about 1970. They had a well but no running water.

There was one teacher who taught all the grades. When she got to grade 9, she continued her schooling by taking a correspondence course. She got all her textbooks from the department of eduction in Regina but had to do all her studying by herself. When she had problems, the teacher was supposed to help her. She did that for grade 9 and 10. After that, she wanted to go to normal school because six months there was enough to become a teacher. However, Sterner's parents needed her at home to help at harvest time, and they didn't let her go although she could have stayed with her aunt in Saskatoon and take her classes there. When finally she was able to go, she didn't want to because she had missed about three weeks of schooling. So she never became a teacher.\nSterner's favourite subject was spelling. They all had spelling bees. The teacher gave everybody a word to spell, and if one didn't make it, one sat down. Sterner also like mathematics and algebra. There was also a subject called citizenship. She thinks they got rid of that subject because she doesn't hear the word any more. Citizenship had to do a little bit with law and the rules of the country, and she wasn't interested in it.

A couple came to their place and wanted her to work for them because the woman was going to the hospital to have a baby. Sterner was 16 at that time. The family of her employers had three children she was responsible for, without any experience, so Sterner's mother came and helped her. A few days later, the father of that family got hurt in a truck accident and ended up in the hospital. It was a little bit rough but she made sure that she took good care of the children.\nAfter Sterner got married, she worked on a farm all her life until she moved to Humboldt. Then she had nothing to do, her children were already grown up, and then she got a job at the St. Mary's Villa (a care facility) where she worked for six years. Her husband drove back to the farm but for her, sitting in Humboldt was difficult, so she got that job and she enjoyed it working with these old people. It was a lot of fun. If one did them a little favour they seemed so happy about it. After six years, she was too old to work (at the age of 60 or 65) and they wanted her to quit so that young people could get a job. She thinks that the young people aren't as much interested in taking care of the old people as in the wages they get.\nAfter that, Sterne joined the senior citizens' club and was very active there. She was on the board for over ten years. Then she got sick, she had two surgeries in nine months. She has a bypass now. That's why she moved here (to the Harry Ford Centre) instead of staying in her house. Now, she does little things and she is watching the birds out there.

Of her siblings, only her sister is still alive. Her older brother died from cancer, the younger one from a heart attack at the age of 57.\nSterner used to travel a lot with her brother and his wife after she had quit working. They went down to the US in a motorhome. They traveled all over the States, and learned a lot. She also traveled to Hawaii a few times.\nSterner recalls an incident related to her younger brother. They were out in the pasture together, she doesn't know anymore what they were doing out there. They were pretty young then. Her brother crawled over a fence, a bull came along, and her brother wasn't even scared. She also crawled through and pulled her brother back from the fence. She was very mad at him.\nAs they had only one bicycle, and the school was about three miles away, Sterner had to take her younger brother on the handlebar. She can't imagine something like that today. At the Humboldt school, there are more cars parked than ever before, and nobody walks to school anymore.\nLife wasn't exciting when she grew up. They went to the odd dance but her father would take them there. Once in a while, they visited their neighbours. Now, some people from Humboldt go to Saskatoon for a cup of coffee. Their life was \"very uneventful\". She and her siblings all married someone within their range where they were living although not all of them stayed there. One brother ended up in California, her sister in Saskatoon, the other brother in Humboldt. None of them were farmers, she was the only one who spent her life in farming. Eventually, Sterner's father sold the farm to the neighbours and bought a house in Humboldt where they had power, running water and flush toilets. Nobody took over the farm, and the land (two quarters) was too small to divide it up between the children. Her father also didn't have any decent machinery, he was still poor when he quit farming and was still paying off his land. When her parents sold the farm, they had enough money to buy an ordinary house in Humboldt. Her mother died there, and her father went to the \"old folks home\".","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788#t=979.0,1288.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788/index/52299/annotation/17","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"bicycles","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"dance","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"neighbors","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"siblings","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"toilets","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"travel","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"visiting","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788#t=979.0,1288.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788/index/52299/annotation/18","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Identity, keeping in touch with Austrian relatives","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788#t=1288.0,1532.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132788/index/52299/annotation/19","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Asked about her ancestry, Sterner recalls that her mother had a sister who lived in Saskatoon and died about ten years ago.

They had raspberries and juneberries; she can't eat juneberry jam anymore because they had it almost everyday for their school lunch.\nSterner often thinks that if they only had plastic bags and a microwave in those days, it would have been so handy. All they had was paper bags. The stores often wrapped things in pieces of brown paper, and they opened the food items carefully and kept the paper.\nWhen it was really cold and her brother had to drive ten miles to chop down a load of wood, he put paper inside his pants for more insulation.\nSterner explains to the interviewer what juneberry is. Some people call them Saskatoon berries. They had also raspberries, gooseberries, and currants. That's another thing hardly seen today, they made beautiful jam out of it.

Her mother made jelly rolls and big chocolate cakes. Her mother used a jelly roll pan for the cake too. The stoves had a warming closet around the top, and a reservoir; that was their hot water used for washing dishes. They put the water back on the stove to reheat it.\nThey also made horseradish, they dug it out from the ground. They cleaned the outside and put it in a hand grinder which they also used for grinding meat. They mixed the ground horseradish with vinegar, a little bit of sugar and salt, and then they put it on all their meats.\nSterner recalls that she cleaned chickens \"the old-fashioned way\": She chopped the head off. She describes one incident when her youngest daughter was about four or five years old. They had rabbits on the farm because her daughters liked them. The day before she butchered chickens, she didn't feed them because it's easier when the intestines are empty, and put them in a bin. The next day, she couldn't find any chickens in the bin. Only when her daughter married, Sterner found out that her daughter had let them out because she had felt sorry that the chickens would be killed. Her daughter is very soft, she doesn't even like to catch a fish.\nHer parents also had moorhen chickens, and her mother canned them. They butchered them in December when it was cold so that they would freeze; if they butchered them too earlier, they couldn't preserve them. The meat would remain frozen and they canned the rest of it only in spring time. Sometimes, the meat was put in the granary to kept it frozen. It was covered with some wheat so that mice wouldn't find it. Sterner states that their practices of preserving food were \"survival, actually speaking\". Nowadays, \"you young people (Sterner means the interviewer) don't have to worry about survival because when things don't work out you always get welfare\". In those days, there was relief but it was never enough.

Her mother made all the clothes for them. For Christmas, she once got a pair of bloomers. She was very disappointed when she got them as she had wanted something nice. They didn't wear slacks in those days but dresses and stockings. They knitted their own mittens. They didn't have \"nothing too exciting\", they had \"no style\".\nSterner recalls when her mother used flour sacks to make clothes, they had to get the name of the company (Robin Hood) off the flour sacks. Her mother used lye and water to bleach the material. Her mother dyed the clothes after she had sewed them. The dye was very cheap, one package was only 15 cents. Every time they washed them, some colour came out. The colour was always some kind of pink. That was about dresses, Sterner doesn't remember what her mother did for mens' clothes.\nSterner doesn't remember that her mother sewed pants or shirts for the men in the family. She thinks that maybe somebody handed them down to their family. They didn't knit sweaters because her mother couldn't read directions for knitting, so she looked at the pattern, and when it was clear she would crochet. A crochet book was 15 cents in those days, and she learned the directions. She also taught her daughters to knit and crochet. Her daughter Karen has knitted as much as a hundred sweaters, she sells them or gives them away.\nSterner describes the characteristics of sheep wool. Her mother knitted only mens' stockings.\nSterner's mother was able to tat, she herself regrets that she never learned it because it's nicer than crocheting.\nSterner recalls how her mother made clothes: They opened the Eaton's or Simpson's catalogue and said what they would like to have, and her mother made it from the picture. In those days, the patterns were not too complicated, it was the princess style. Her mother cut the fabric free-hand. She never saw her mother with a piece of paper with a pattern. In those days, it didn't matter when the clothes didn't fit exactly as nobody was style-conscious. Sterner thinks that's why \"people were a little happier in those days and not so picky\". They were living on a farm, if the interviewer would talk to somebody in town, it would be a different story. Sterner says she hopes that the interviewer will be able to \"catch some town people\".\nSterner talks about hair styles. One night, she went to a dance. They used curling irons which had to be heated up in the lamp before. Nobody worried about the black of the curling iron that would get on the hair. Most of the time, Sterner had her hair in a way that was called \"shingle\" then. They always had short hair: \"Nowadays, everybody has long her, it seems.\" Their next-door neighbour half a mile away always cut the hair for their whole family. He cut hair like a man does.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132789#t=732.0,1291.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132789/index/52298/annotation/10","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"bloomers","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"clothing","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"crochet hooks","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"curling irons","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"dresses","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"dyeing","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"knitting","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"mail-order catalogs","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"mittens","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"tatting","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132789#t=732.0,1291.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132789/index/52298/annotation/11","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Eaton's","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"flour sacks","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"hand-me-down clothing","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Robin Hood flour","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Simpsons","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132789#t=732.0,1291.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132789/index/52298/annotation/12","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Child rearing","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132789#t=1291.0,1379.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58623/file/132789/index/52298/annotation/13","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"When Sterner's younger brother Walter was about 5 years old, he was too small to sit on a chair, and he wouldn't hold still when getting a hair cut.

She pumped water for the animals and carried snow \"like crazy\" in order to melt it. Her sister was responsible for the chores inside the house as she didn't go outside too much.\nSterner also helped her brother with stooking (make bundles) and threshing. She put bundles on the hay rack and shovelled grain. She was always scared that the granary would get so full with grain that she wouldn't get out anymore. She also used to harrow. They had to go in the fields and put all the stinkweed and the mustard seed weed away. The whole family had to do that chore. Now they just spray it but in those days, there weren't that many weeds yet. After weeding, they were allowed to go to dance in the evening.\nAsked about stumps, Sterner explains that there were a lot of bushes on their land. They hired a machine in order to \"break it up with a plough\". First, they got rid of the bushes with a brush cutter to the ground level. When the land was ploughed over, the stumps remained in the field, and Sterner had to pick them out. She thinks she hasn't any decent finger nails, and that's the reason why her skin is so bad today because she didn't put cream on their skin then although their skin was exposed to wind, sun and dirt. Her skin is very wrinkly, and she thinks that's because of what she did in her young years. They used so-called stone boats (drawn by horses) to remove stones from the fields.

During harvest time, they needed many people. Somebody was on the binder pulled by horses, and somebody had to stook (she did that too). Sterner's responsibilities also included bringing lunch to everybody during harvest time, it was mainly water and some bread.\nSterner's mother was busy cooking, cleaning, patching and washing clothes all day. Her mother also fed the chickens and gathered the eggs. She also made butter.\nSterner describes her parental home: \"It wasn't much of a house\". There was a little porch where the washing machine and a wood box were stored. In one corner, there was a sink and a pail of water. Right beside the sink, there was a hoosier cabinet, it was old and crooked and dilapidated. Next to it, there was a table, and in the other corner, there was the cream separator. The stove was right behind. They had also a pantry without a window, with a few shelves. They had a stairway to go upstairs. In her parents' bedroom, there was a dresser, it wasn't really a closet. Their house was very small, and their family wasn't big. Upstairs, there were two bedrooms and an open space. Nobody had closets. Beside her mother's bed, there was the sewing machine. As there was so little space in the kitchen, the pots and pans were hanging on nails in the basement. The hoosier was used to store sugar, butter and left-over food.

They did some visiting \"but I can't remember fun as a certain thing\". They played ball in summer and skated on the sloughs in the winter. Her father taught his children how to swim in a dugout. July 1st was always celebrated by going to Middle Lake, once they had a car. There was always a sports day on that day. Before they had a car, they didn't get anywhere. \nSterner remembers playing football, and a male teacher kicked the ball very hard. They took the softball home from school in order to sew it together again. In the winter, the school trustees made a skating rink for the students. She learned to skate but not too well as her skates were always too small for her.\nUsually, they went fishing once a year to a lake, and they could go into the water there. \"It was a very quiet life, let's put it down to that\". They made their own popcorn. Her mother planted some popcorn.\nSterner repeats that she was living in a German area. She thinks that they acquired land next to each other so that they \"weren't alone in the wilderness\". She heard stories that people had to go to Rosthern, Saskatchewan to get things and it took them a couple of days to get back. She thinks that people had to depend on each other a lot. She also thinks that Saint Peter's College put an ad in a paper in Europe that invited people to come to Canada as they would get a quarter of land for 10 dollars.\nSterner praised the interview project, she thinks it will enable young people to learn \"how things used to be, how nice it is now, and if you work for a living, it will be ok\". The interviewer replies that she \"hopes to use this stuff\" when she will be a teacher. Sterner is delighted and thinks she should teach young people \"things that don't happen anymore\". \nSterner describes in more details how people received a homestead and what they had to do so that it became their property. Her father had a homestead but moved closer to Humboldt where her mother was living.

Then they had to put on dry clothing. Her mother put a mustard plaster on them so that they would sweat easier. It was a mixture of mustard, flour and water. Sometimes, they skin would get a little bit red because it got very hot. They also drank coal oil as a remedy. They didn't buy any cough medicine. They used honey for coughing. They all were healthy, none of them broke any bones until she had an accident with the bicycle. She was on her way to school and had her brother on the handlebar. She broke her shoulder half way to school. She and her brother walked back home and were picked up by a neighbour and took them home.
