History

ALBUM AND PHONOGRAPH RECORDS BELONGED TO DONOR'S BROTHER, TIMOTHY, WHO DID THE RECORDING FOR EACH OF THE PHONOGRAPHS, MANY OF WHICH HE MADE FOR HIS MOTHER. THEIR FATHER, REV. NAKAYAMA AND THE FAMILY MOVED TO COALDALE IN 1945 AFTER BEING RELOCATED FROM VANCOUVER IN 1942 TO SLOCAN CITY IN THE INTERIOR OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.
