History

CLOTHES BRUSH WAS A HOUSEHOLD ITEM OF DONOR'S FAMILY, LIKELY BROUGHT WITH THE FAMILY FROM VANCOUVER TO SLOCAN CITY AND FINALLY TO COALDALE. THE NAKAYAMA FAMILY WAS FIRST FROM VANCOUVER BEFORE COMING TO COALDALE FOLLOWING THE SECOND WORLD WAR WHEN THEY WERE INTERNED AT SLOCAN CITY IN THE INTERIOR OF BRITISH COLUMBIA BY THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT. THE DONOR'S FATHER, REV. CANON G.G. NAKAYAMA, WAS AN ANGLICAN MINISTER IN VANCOUVER, AND THEN ESTABLISHED THE CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION IN COALDALE IN 1945 WHERE HE SERVED UNTIL 1970.
