Another son of Andrew and Ida's, Andrew
Livingstone Glen, farmed in the Enderby area. With Andrew came his wife Clara, and his
three children, Jean, Allan, and Betty (formally Edna Elizabeth).
Andrew rented land three miles south-east of Enderby, comprising of three quarter sections
side by side. Later, the owner of the land, a Mr. Smith, decided to sell his land. Andrew
bought it, also obtaining timber rights with the title.
During the winter, Andrew earned his living by selectively logging the
mountainside on the homestead. During the spring, summer, and fall, he also farmed the
land and raised cattle. Andrew owned one of the first steam-powered threshing machines in
the area, so he also hired out to thresh neighboring farmers' fields.
In 1927, Andrew built a house at the base of Quilakwa Hill, an ancient Shuswap Indian
battle ground. This site was the most ideal on the homestead because it was among pine
trees which provided shelter from the north and west winds, and it provided a commanding
view of the valley. Andrew designed the house himself. He used some of the wood from the
Enderby Hotel, which was being torn down at the time. One of the main focal points of the
house is the stair rail from the hotel. The other wood he logged and cut himself. Andrew
also installed plumbing by himself, and Billy Blackburn put in the electrical wiring.
Jean taught at the Hupel School from
1930-36, when she moved to a different position.
