Life on the farm by Peter Yacyshen

For the Yacyshen Family Reunion 1993

Life on the Yacyshen farm was a happy one. I guess because there were so many brothers and sisters to do something foolish. Like the first to run barefooted in the spring with the snow on the ground or walk on thin ice without breaking through.

Our parents were good to all of us they tried their best. We did not appreciate all that they did for us until we were on our own.

When dad went to town with horses and wagon, I would go along. He would let me drive the horses. That was something great for me.

For entertainment we played ball, hide and seek, hit the can, or ride the buggy down the hill. In winter we would slide down the hill with homemade sleds, a piece of cardboard or a piece of tin.

These were hard times, no money for clothes. But we got something new for our Christmas concert.

The crops were poor and the prices were very low. One year it hailed and the next year about 1937 the rust wiped out all the crops. But our parents were religious and would never give up. They would always say that the good Lord had a reason for all his works.

We picked berries in the summertime, raspberries, strawberries, saskatoon’s and cranberries. We had to walk 3 or 4 miles to pick berries so we would stop at the farmers place along the way for a drink of water from the well. They were always friendly and would sit and visit. The berries were canned most of the time without sugar but they were sure good in the winter.

I just remember a few years of the hard time by 1940. The war years the times were good, we could get a dollar and a half for a can of cream. We milked 8 to 10 cows, so we had a few cents which made us rich after not having any money.

GLADYS' OBITUARY
Gladys Yacyshen passed away at the Victoria General Hospital, Winnipeg, MB, on April 22, 2020.
Gladys was born to Alvar and Florence (Hansen) Holm on August 24, 1933 in Norquay, SK. She grew up there with her five siblings, two older and three younger.
Gladys married Peter Yacyshen in 1957 and they lived in Dauphin, MB, where they raised four daughters.
An accomplished seamstress, she would sew for her family and for other people. She sewed many wedding gowns. In her life’s journey she moved to Winnipeg, where she was the plant production manager at Manta, who had contracts with the Canadian Forces.
Gladys cherished her family. As her health declined, she often spoke about caring for her little girls and recalled how happy that time of her life was to her. She was adventurous. She flew ultralight planes, rode motorcycles, and thoroughly enjoyed driving. She had a feisty spirit and defended her family unwaveringly. Gladys had a sense of humour. One of Eldora’s friends had nicknamed her ‘Happy bum’.
Gladys converted to Catholicism before marrying Peter. She proudly practiced her faith and shared it with others allowing God to change their lives. She had friends who credit her with surviving hard times in their lives. She will be surely missed by all who knew and loved her.
Eternal Rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.
Gladys was predeceased by her parents, Alvar and Florence, and her husband, Peter.
She is survived by her four daughters: Eldora (Peter), Juliana (John), Peggy Lynn (Richard) and Bernadette (Barry); eleven grandchildren: Blake (Marisa), Jill (Lee), Isaac, Marita, Sister Anitsame (Rosaria), Angelica, Celyna, Raphael, Jenni-Lynn, Vincent (Ashley), and Jonathan (Chelsea); eight great-grandchildren: Ava, Dex, Elena, William, Piper, Frankie, Travis and Jackson; and her siblings: Mildred, Clifford, Joan, Gordon and Deloris; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
