Catharinae Mozel Logan
23.09.1909 - 28.12.2005
In the Galician village of Futory they had a big house and quite a bit of land, with cows, pigs and chickens. After the restitution of Poland following the First World War, in 1921, her mother moved the family to Wrzoszy, near Toruń.
There Kathy worked on the farm, but she left home for Canada when she was 14, in 1923. Travelling alone, she went all the way to Camrose, Alberta, to her brother Mikołaj (Joe). He sent her to school, and insisted that she learn good English. She married a Scot from Glasgow, William Logan. In 1940-44 they lived in Ottawa and Hull, then for many years in Calgary before retiring to Victoria. In 2001 they moved to Vancouver.
