McDonald Funeral Home at 1pm today with the
Rev. Lloyd
F Holloway officiating. Cremation followed. Mrs. Coventon, resident of Clallam
County 70 years, died Thursday at Forks.
She was the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Burns born at Birmingham, England, July 4, 1872.
She came to Port Angeles with her parents
early in
1890. Her parents were members of the Puget Sound Cooperative Colony which
settled at Ennis Creek here in 1887.
The year of
her arrival Edna Burns taught music at the newly established Old Central School
that stood on the site of the present
Washington
School.
In 1894 (?)
she married Harry Coventon, a colony member. He had been a British sailor who
came across the Strait of Juan de Fuca in a
row boat in
1883. He went from here to California and returned and joined the colony in
1887.
The young
couple first lived in Ennis Creek Valley. He became one of the operators in the
city's first electrical plant. They later moved to 2nd
St. between Laurel and Oak. Later they
homesteaded in the Upper Elwah Valley where he developed a farm and did
logging.
Her husband
became custodian of the Clallam County Court House and the family moved back to
Port Angeles where the family home was
at Chase
and Liberty St. Mr. Coventon was custodian of the court house until his death
in 1932.
Although
the mother of 9 children, Mrs. Coventon was active in community work. She was a
member of the Port Angeles School Board 5
years
previous to 1935. For her work on the school board she was awarded a life
membership pin by the Clallam County PTA. Other
activities
included aid in establishing Camp David Junior at Lake Crescent and the Estelle
Henson Memorial Fund for children. She was an
early
member of the Altruistic Club and the Delphian society. The Port Angeles Public
Library has an Edna Coventon Memorial book shelf.
She was a
life member of the Dry Creek and Pomona Granges.
Both Mrs.
Coventon and her late parents were musicians who took part in many of the early
day social activities over a period of many
years.
Surviving
relatives include 2 sons, Harry Coventon, Port Angeles and William Coventon,
Seattle; 6 daughters, Mrs. Kathleen Kauffman,
Seattle;
Mrs. Arthur Reynolds, Tacoma; Mrs. Thomas Mansfield, Forks; Mrs. Eric DeSoer,
Ellensburg, and Mrs. Harry Story, Chicago; 25
grand-children
and 26 great-grandchildren. " (Pioneer Obits)
-------------------------------------------------
Info
received from Leslie Forsbergincludes an extract from a book entitled "The
Grand Experiment" and reads:
Edna Burns
who later married Harry Coventon, arrived with her parents from Birmingham,
England on February 14 1890 on the steamboat
Garland at
Morse's Wharf in Port Angeles.
"I saw
men standing there dressed in a peculiar hunter's costume," she said.
"Each put his head through a hole in the center of a blanket,
then belted
the blanket down around the waist. The men wore no hats and they wore their
hair shoulder-length, carefully curled in ringlets. I
saw others
dressed like that afterward and took it that hunters couldn't get to barber
shops that often and that, if they had curly hair, they
prided it.
My parents
lunched with Judge Smith that first day. He had the only safe in town and
complained that so many persons brought him their
money to
keep he could not find room for his own. I remember later walking along the
beach to colony headquarters, located at Ennis
Creek, east
of the village. In between the two settlements was a federal reservation.
A
magnificent fir and cedar forest came down to the shore everywhere we looked.
Timber had been cleared at Ennis Creek. There four
buildings
stood. Those with two floors contained apartments on the second floor. Nearby
was the colony sawmill. It employed 20 men. There
was also a wharf where sailing ships docked to
load lumber. We were assigned a three-room apartment upstairs in the building
which had
the
assembly hall and the printing press of The Model Commonwealth, the newspaper
that had moved from Seattle.
Within a
few months our family moved to a house. My father got work as a carpenter and
my brother worked at the mill. We enjoyed life in
the colony.
Social life was gay. The folks entertained themselves. Among us was literary,
musical & theatrical talent, and there was a library,
an opera
house, a nursery and kindergarten. The future looked bright"
--------------------------------------------------
Her parents
were Ernest James Burns, son of William Burns, born 20 Oct 1844 in Birmingham,
England who in 1869 lived at 298 Great
Russell
Street, Birmingham. Married Edna Barrett, daughter of John Barrett, who had
been born in Stafford, England on 22 Feb 1848. They
married in
Birmingham on 17 Jan 1869 and emigrated to Port Angeles WA in 1889. He died 17
Jan 1919. She died Aug 1918 both at Port
Angeles WA.
They had 3 other children, Ernest born 1870, died Aug 1959, Rosa born 1878
