History
The Fujimoto family resided in No. 5 Mine townsite until a fire ravaged most of the houses in the area. When the Internment of Japanese residents was implemented in 1942, they were living in Royston. At that time, Yukiye was attending grade twelve at Cumberland High, while Yoshio was in grade eight at Minto School, and Mr. Fujimoto worked as a logger. Minoru and Takao were employed as 'mill hands' at the Royston Mill. Additionally, they had six younger children: Satoru, Tatsuo, and Yasuo, who attended Minto School, and the preschool-age children, Nobuo and Mitsuye, who were three years old and one month old, respectively, at the time of the internment.
