History: Mrs. Ada D. Costigan

Mrs. Ada D. Costigan
By Dallas Banister Wright

‘“I’ll be ninety-five this September, but I feel thirty-five.” This is Mrs. Ada D. Costigan, Western Canadian pioneer, now residing in Vancouver, B.C. She defies time. My visit found her industriously working on a local paper’s Coronation Contest while beside her lay a half read novel. She subscribes to a daily newspaper and is up to the minute on all current events. “I’ve lived a full life,” she comments, but refuses to sit around in the a housecoat even though she had the misfortune to break her hip last summer. Instead, she dresses fully each morning at nine, and can walk again with the assistance of a cane.’
