Mary (Mary Frances) Afanassief. She was a girl of Russian extraction who had lived in Winnipeg for some time as a fur finisher. She was on her way to Russia to visit relatives.

”Mary Frances Afanassief, a Russian girl, who had but few friends, and no relatives in this city, but who worked here for a considerable time as a fur finisher, is undoubtedly among the lost. Her name does not appear in the list of rescued, and it is feared that the girl has gone on the journey from which none return, instead of the tripo to her home folks in Russia, which she had planned.” (The Winnipeg Tribune, 30 May 1914, p. 3)
