I always remember Auntie Elsie from the trip we took in the early 60's to their house in rural Manitoba. She cooked on a wood stove and made toast on a wire rack (no electric toasters in those days). I am a daughter of Florence Singbeil (Auntie Elsie's niece). Florence was the daughter of Francis Walker (nee Bloomfield), sister of Horace Bloomfield. - Posted by: Val Collicutt (Great neice) on: May 08, 2012
