  • Obarski Family
    The Last Shop in Earlsferry This article is based on a talk about the Obarski Family given by Irene Stevenson to the Elie and Earlsferry History Society on 13 February 2020 (the difference in the name Obarski and Obarska is explained by Polish convention of female surnames ending in …ska when the male form is …ski). I have been asked to give a talk on the village experiences of the Obarski family. This will be mainly about ‘Henry and Elsie’ as most people in Elie and Earlsferry will remember them. My name is Irene Stevenson. My Maiden name was Urquhart and Henry was my step-father, my mother’s second husband. I realise that quite a lot of people do not know that, and it is a credit to my family that I was recognised to be very much part of the Obarski family. I think I still qualify as the only person to give this talk! Below are some photographs and will be how most will remember Henry and Elsie. Henry came here during the war and like many others, he never talked about his war experiences. I do know that he was involved in Operation Market Garden at Arnhem. I have read much about this but I am not here to give a talk on Arnhem. If you have seen the film “A Bridge Too Far” or read the book, you will know about the awful things that happened there. I was well aware that he did suffer terribly from shell-shock. We had to be so careful not to make sudden noises, bang doors, etc.
