Anna
P. Markova
1902-1978, mother of John J. Verigin
After
her arrival to Canada in 1960, Anna P. Markova visited many
communities in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
In the fall of 1962 she was invited by the Slocan Choir to
visit their communities.
She was a very talented singer and brought with her from Russia
many new hymns for the Doukhobors to learn. Her dedication
and love for singing is heard as she sings a duet with herself.

Claybrick:
This
photo was taken at the brick factory built by our forefathers in
the village of 'Claybrick', 1 kilometer north of Winlaw,
BC. When our forefathers moved to BC in 1908, they purchased land
in the West Kootenay and Grand Forks areas. They cleared the land
and planted large orchards, berry and vegetable gardens, built canning
and fruit packing plants, jam factory, sawmills, and brickworks.
They lived communally and the Doukhobor way of life. Living in Canada
for the past 100 years, we are grateful for their beliefs and achievements.
With our songs we give tribute to our courageous forefathers.
