| Fonctions : | From the estate of Nancy Marston. Nancy Marston was born in Merritt in 1919 1920, daughter of Harold and Muriel Hooper, third of five children. They were homesteaders who raised beef and dairy cattle and pheasants. Nancy attended school in both Nicola and Merritt. She was a life long lover of animals, favouring horses. She married Bob Marston in 1942, cattle boss of the Nicola Ranch. They purchased the Petit Creek Ranch in 1948, and although they sold it in 1959, resided in the area for some twenty years. They had no children. They were famous for their rawhide work, braiding beautiful headstalls and lines. Bob passed away in 1978, and Nancy moved to Merritt. She grew a tremendous garden, sharing the surplus with a local hospital. She passed away on January 11, 1992. |
