The Memoirs of Cissie Ewen26 January 1912 - 12 August 2007
Written by Mrs Elizabeth Ewen (nėe Cave), at the request of her family, so that details of her life and times would be recorded. Cissie Ewen lived in Chirton until she emigrated to New Zealand in 1947. For much of that time, Chirton consisted of seven streets and was surrounded by market gardens. Cissie paints a fascinating account of life through the two World Wars, the Depression and being in service. |
