Her grandfather found that his family was getting too intermarried with cousins, so he decided to come to Canada after hearing reports of what a wonderful country that was. They didn't know what they were getting into. Grisdale's grandfather immigrated with his twelve children (five boys and seven girls), however, Grisdale thinks that her father and one of his brothers had come to Canada slightly earlier and thus paved the way for the rest of the family.\nGrisdale's father got his own piece of land. During the winters, he worked in the bush and also on the railway. Rose Partidge (Grisdale's mother) was a neighbour and a friend of the Pocock family back in England. Her mother's sister who had married a man with whom she had gone to South Africa, was there for a visit, and wanted to take her with her as she would have the chance to meet a man to marry there. As her mother was already over 30, they were afraid she would be \"left over\". Instead, Grisdale's mother got a letter from her father who told her not to go to South Africa and to marry him (\"which was quite a proposal\"). Her mother decided to go as that was quite a romantic thing. Grisdale's mother was terrible sea-sick on the way over. She landed in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, in December 1913. Grisdale's father met her mother at the train station. It was terribly cold, and the first thing her mother had to do was to buy some winter boots. Her father took her mother to supper at the hotel (there weren't all those eating places like now). After that, her father arranged a meeting with the minister at the Westminster church where the were married. Her father covered her mother with horse blankets and drove her to their farm. Her mother had no idea where they were going, and it was bitterly cold. They went to their log house, somebody had lived there before, it was fairly warm there. A supper was prepared but there was nobody around. That's how Grisdale's parents started on the farm.\nGrisdale was born the following October (1914). She was named Ivy Sophia: Sophia after her grandmother, and Ivy because in those days, everybody named the daughters after plants and trees, as her mother explained to her later. Ivy Sophia Grisdale (née Pocock) was born on October 3, 1914, on a farm near Humboldt, Saskatchewan.\n","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=10.0,320.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"dating (courtship)","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"first names","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"immigration","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=10.0,320.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Family life, school years","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=320.0,676.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Grisdale grew up with three sisters and one brother. They had also cousins on the Pocock side, five or six in each family. They used to play back and forth along the road and got together at Christmas and New Years.\nGrisdale started school only at the age of seven because it was so bitterly cold.\nThe first things her grandfather and his sons thought about when they came from England were church (there were services at people's houses) and school. Her grandfather and his family built Hilsley school there, and her grandfather named it after his home district, Isley, England but people called it Hilsley. Grisdale went there until grade 4 when her father sold his lot of land. After that, she attended another school where a friend of her mother was a teacher. Grisdale missed a lot of school in the winter because it was too cold to get there. The school was four or five miles away, she used to drive with horse and buggy. They used an old horse, and when her sister started school, they went together.\nOnce in a while, the inspector visited the schools. The teachers were never told before when they were coming. The inspector would line the students up and question them. It was \"quite a dramatic thing\" for them. Grisdale recalls one incident when they were supposed to take the inspector with them with their buggy as he would stay over night with one of the neighbours. They decided to \"lose\" him and took a different road, so the inspector was late for supper.\nGrisdale did quite well at school. She finished only grade 8. One had to go Humboldt to write one's exams in those days, and after grade 8, one had to take courses by correspondence. The teacher wrote to her father to make sure that she would continue her schooling but she thinks that older people had the idea that girls weren't worth anything, and the boys were expected to going to farming.\nIn 1928, Grisdale's father passed away from cancer. (The interview is interrupted because the interviewee has to answer the door.) After her father's death, Grisdale had to stay home to help her mother, and her schooling stopped then. However, Grisdale always did a lot of reading. Her mother always said that Grisdale could read before she went to school which wasn't right. Reading greatly influenced her life. She is so pleased that she has a little great-granddaugher Amanda, who reads everything, including all the Harry Potter books. She just wrote her grade 4 exams and got very good marks. It pleases Grisdale to know that her great-granddaughter is doing well.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=320.0,676.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"cousins","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"education","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"family life","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"horses","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"reading","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"school buildings","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"siblings","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=320.0,676.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Farm chores, dances, family life, clothing","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=676.0,911.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Grisdale did a lot of farm chores when growing up, including milking the cows. She also knew how to fix fences. In those days, there was a lot of young people in their area as most families had at least five or six children. Every weekend, there were dances held at the country school, and they were always raising money, either for the school or the Red Cross. Local music was played there, a violin and a guitar. The men paid 35 cents and the women brought some lunch. They had a wonderful time together, and there was never any thought of liquor, they just had fun. She could write a book about all the things that happened there. Somebody had an old grain truck, and they piled everybody in and went to the beach together and swam in the lake.\nThey had a ball team, Grisdale started to play baseball and then went to softball.\nThey rode horseback most of the time when they had to go somewhere. She had a cousin who died only a few years ago. Her cousin's mother had died in childbirth when her children were very young. Their father sent them to Manitoba but they came back after several years. Grisdale's mother looked after these children, so these cousins spent a lot of time at Grisdale's parents' place. Today, there are hardly any of Grisdale's cousins left. However, one cousin is still alive, he has just lost his wife, they go to church together and have lunch afterwards.\nGrisdale remembers getting a few yards of material from Sears and making a nice dress. They had long dresses then, and heels, and whoopie pants, the forerunners of jeans. Beach pyjamas were also very popular then. They had quite wide legs, and they tried to play ball in them. Grisdale doesn't know where they had the money from to buy these sorts of things.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=676.0,911.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/9","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"chores","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"dance","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"dresses","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"fund raising","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"non-alcoholic beverages","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"softball","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=676.0,911.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/10","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"beach pyjamas","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Red Cross","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Sears","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"whoopie pants","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=676.0,911.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/11","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Plays, social relations, winters and dust storms, water supply, washing","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=911.0,1267.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/12","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Grisdale recalls that in the late 1920s, some friends of her parents came. They were from England and had had good positions there, she doesn't know why they came to Saskatchewan. They brought culture into the district, and put on some plays. Grisdale participated as did some of her cousins and young men from the district. They took the plays down to Guernsey, Saskatchewan. Grisdale talks about a \"bunch of boys\" living in the area of Plunkett, Saskatchewan. They came from Lancashire, England and worked for her grandmother who was a widow. One of them played in their ball team. Later, they started coupling off, and people got married, so she thought she would get married too. She was only 19 when she got married in 1933. It was the Depression years and they didn't have much but they were all in the same boat, were all good friends and helped each other. They often had suppers with friends and played cards until early in the morning. She cannot forget the Depression years because the weather was so terrible, the winters were extremely cold. She remember getting up with her baby boy (he was born in October 1934 and will be 70 this year, she can't believe it) and changing his diapers. The used diapers got frozen on the floor. In the summers, there were awful dust storms. She remembers that when her husband and his brother were seeding over the hill, she brought them lunch and coffee and had to go west down the hill. She knew that they were somewhere there (she could hear clinking of the harness) but she couldn't see them because the dust was so thick. Everybody got so dirty and there was no water, the sloughs all dried up. The only water they had was from their deep well, and it was as hard as nails, and she remembers some people pumping it into barrels and putting lime in it to soften it. For washing, she first used a scrub board and some home-made soap. Later, she got some kind of washing machine but it was hard labour too, as she had to dry their laundry in their small house. Grisdale had to wait until everybody had went to bed and then she strung these binder twine lines around the house and hung it all up. Once she hung the washing out because she thought it would dry faster when it froze. However, the washing (it was mostly underwear) froze and broke into pieces. As they couldn't afford new underwear, she matched the pieces together and sewed them back together.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=911.0,1267.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/13","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"card games","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"dust storms","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"folk plays","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"forced migration","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"friends","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"soap","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"washboards (laundry equipment)","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"washing machines","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"winter","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=911.0,1267.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/14","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Depression","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"English","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"home children (Canada)","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"sluices","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=911.0,1267.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/15","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Food, family life, birth of children","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763#t=1267.0,1466.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58616/file/132763/index/52321/annotation/16","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Grisdale recalls that despite the low prices, they milked cows and sold the canned cream. They couldn't get more than two dollars for it although it was worth five dollars. She also made butter and sold it to the grocery store. She saved some money and wanted a new pair of shoes, and bought them for 2.98 dollars. She was so proud of her shoes but when \"grandma\" (obviously, she is talking about her mother-in-law saw) them, she said: What goes out of the farm goes back to the farm. That didn't go very well with her husband's brother, so he moved out to his own place as his mother always interfered.\nHer oldest son was born in 1934, the next son Jerry in 1937. That was \"a horrible year, one of the worst\" as it was drier than ever. It was even hard to get baby clothes, and her mother got some for her. They handed all the baby clothes down to the next one. Grisdale's next son Ron was born in 1938 and was named after his uncle. He was born during the threshing season. She knew she had to go to the hospital (that was in September), so she phoned \"grandma\" (her mother in-law, obviously), and the uncle (her husband's brother) ran around in order to find her husband who was working somewhere in the field. In those days, the baby was taken away after birth and she didn't see it until the next day. A nurse came in, wished her good night and told her she should \"enjoy her little girl\" and she was so happy that she finally had a girl. The next day, she found out that it was again a boy, and the nurse had made a mistake as a little girl was born at the same time. She would call her the daughter she had just missed.\nTheir house was always full of boys because there were so many children in their district. There were hockey and ball teams.

The neighbours built a house at the same time, and they went back and forth between the two places and helped each other. Grisdale enjoyed that for a while.\nHer son Jerry was the first one who got married, \"and that was a disaster\". They had two children but her daughter-in-law was always looking for more money. Once, her son came home and the two little boys told her son that \"mummy had another man in the bed with her\". They parted, and right after, her former daughter-in-law had \"another big wedding\" with the man she had been in bed with. Her former daughter-in-law took her two boys away, and Grisdale couldn't go to see her grandchildren over there because she didn't have the money to travel. They lost contact but some time ago, her son's daughter (!) phoned her son that she had given birth to a daughter. That is her last great-grandchild.\nWhen one of her sons took over the farm, Grisdale and her husband moved into Humboldt, Saskatchewan, in 1984. Her husband passed away in 1994. As she couldn't renovate her house on her own, she sold it and moved \"over here\" (obviously, a senior home or an apartment). She made a lot of new friends in her new home. She belongs to the United Church and enjoys her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is going to be 90, she is happy and \"fairly healthy\".\nShe enjoyed visiting her neighbours and going to each other's weddings. She made several trips to the West coast as her Ronny's (her husband Ronald's) sister lived there. She wants to tell a few things about that sister that \"should be preserved\".

She worked at a place called “Modern Laundry” in the office. She loved singing and would stand on a little box in the office and sing for everyone.  Beth moved out to British Columbia with her husband. Ivy’s husband’s sister Hilda and her husband had lived near them for a while, but Ivy thinks that Hilda’s husband “couldn’t seem to settle” so they moved to Thunder Bay, which was Fort William at the time, where he worked in the elevator, then they moved out to the coast as well. Ivy’s sister Molly and her husband also moved out to BC. Ivy has not been back to British Columbia in several years. Ivy mentions having “Farm Forum” which was a farm broadcast that would send out a set of questions about community and farming, and you would get together in your community to discuss the questions, summarize them, and then mail these ideas back to the broadcast station. She remembers a group in the district would meet once a week to work on the Farm Forum questions in the wintertime. Afterwards they would have lunch and play cards. She remembers there being a bridge club, even though she didn't play. She believes that Farm Forum was sponsored by the university and in the first year they grew a new variety of wheat and the kids had to hand pick a bushel of wheat. The children were tasked with looking after plots of wheat and would have achievement day in the fall. \nIvy taught a sewing club with about 12 girls. Eight of the girls made their own wedding dresses after. Ivy also taught crocheting and she remembers struggling to teach a girl who was left handed to crochet. She also recalls curling in the 1930s. She says that a Scottish neighbour started a curling club, but they had no equipment. They went out to the bush and cut poles and made a frame for the building with these poles and packed them with straw, using cheesecloth to make openings in the roof for lighting. One of the biggest problems with this building is that sparrows would  leave their droppings on the ice. Ivy thinks she curled for over 50 years and says that she had a great time at the bonspiels. She shows the interviewer a book about the curling club. \nThere was a rifle club \"The Marvin Rifle Range\" that existed prior to the curling club. When the First World War broke out, all the rifles were taken by the government, and the Marving Rifle Range turned over their funds to the curling club and gave a silver cup to be used as a trophy for curling bonspiels, or competitions. All the cups and trophies are in a museum now. Ivy remembers wearing thick socks and dressing warmly to play. In 1941 a gentleman donated more land and a new rink was built with a barn for the horses. They finally ended up with a nice rink with a kitchen and a hall in later years. Ivy thinks that there must be ghosts and memories that are hanging around in that area. At the end of the season they would have a potluck supper where they would dress in their best, called the \"Smoker.\" All the awards for the season were given out and they had a dance. Her husband and some of the other people would play music. This event was held in the school house and she remembers people drinking and having fun. She and her friend went to have a drink in the basement, but someone had emptied the liquor and put tea in it instead.  She believes she was around the age of 16 when she started curling. \nIvy played ball, curling, and did track and field events. She remembers these track competitions casually happening at community and church picnics.

Molly gave the garment to Ivy as she was the oldest. She said they did not use patterns, they would just stitch the garment as they would go. Her mother made very delicate, tiny stitches.

In 1958 she won an award as the Top Country Correspondent of Saskatchewan. She used to write for the Viscount Sun and Humboldt Journal. She remembers going to Saskatoon to receive the award. She talks about her sister Molly's book and her style of writing. \nIvy shows a photograph of the log house her father built. She remembers in April of the year her sister was born that her father had built on two bedrooms and a kitchen. She and her sister were playing in the living room and her mother was doing chores outside. Her mother asked her to check the oven to see if the fire was going in the stove. Ivy told her she could hear it crackling and ran into the kitchen and there were flames in the house. Ivy was given her smallest sister, Dorothy, and she and Molly went outside while the fire was burning. She remembers seeing people coming to help her mother. She remembers that when her mom saw the fire she ran out to Ivy's father in the barn and had to put his coat around the head of the horse so that it would steer away from the fire. Ivy remembers the whole house burning and her mother trying to save a few things. They only had the clothes they were wearing and they had to stay with family for a bit. When her father came back for them, they had to live in the new garage for the summer.  \nHer parents had contemplating buying an Eaton's house, but her father went to Humboldt to get a carpenter and her mother just requested that there be lots of light in the new home. Ivy recalls this fire as a traumatic experience for her family. She remembers one of the builders of the new house walking around with nails sticking out of his mouth. Her father made a lovely chesterfield, or couch, for the family that was lined with leather and stuffed with horse hair.
