Florence (Manson) McKay, ready to cut her 90th birthday cake at a party held at the Manson's Landing Community Hall. A news clipping accompanying the photograph provides details of Florence's life and family.
Florence was born to Michael and Jane Manson at home in Union Bay, January 21, 1900. Florence married Ervin McKay, a fireman with the Vancouver Fire Department. In 1929, Michael Manson turned his farm at Hague Lake over to Florence. Florence and Ervin lived there until they retired in 1950 and moved to Courtenay. The farm was turned over to their daughter Hazel and her husband Ken Hansen. Florence was widowed in 1978 and returned to Cortes to live with Hazel, who had sold the farm (subsequently renamed Linnaea Farm) but kept sixteen acres to retire on.
