Recorded in Porcupine, Ontario. Mrs. Mansfield was born in Elimaki, Finland in 1904 in a farming area. She settled in Cobalt in 1913. Her father was a miner. She moved to South Porcupine in 1916. She had one sister. Her mother was a seamstress who also cleaned the school. Her first job was in the printing office of a South Porcupine newspaper called the Herald in 1920 or 1921. She set the type, ran the hand press and would fold papers. She worked 6 days a week. She left for a job at the telephone exchange. She left that job to get married when she was 19. She had two children, the first one at home. She remembers the 1918 flu because miners were vulnerable to the flu because of silicosis. She later became a corsetier and would go to women's houses to measure them for corsets. <1hr 32mn>Language:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
