Kathleen Martin Cowaret Kathleen Martin, a dedicated lay worker and teacher, moved to Fort Selkirk in 1916. In 1929, she married Alex Coward, a local trader, trapper and jack of all trades. Apart from a few vacations outside, she remained in Fort Selkirk until 1952 and worked for the Selkirk people until 1957, following the people to Minto when the town was abandoned. She travelled to fish and wood camps, tended the sick and attempted to minister to their spiritual welfare. Although many Selkirk elders have trouble remembering more than one or two of the ministers who stayed at Fort Selkirk, all have fond memories of Miss Martin or Mrs. Coward. She preferred to be known as Cowaret, as she did not care for the implications that might be drawn from her husband's name.

Kathleen Martin Cowaret was very fond of the Indians and she even learned some of the language. She could talk it and they were very fond of her.

Kathleen (Martin) Cowaret (1888-1958) Yukon. Born in Manitoba, she applied in 1916 to Yukon Diocese Bishop I. O. Stringer (Anglican) for a teaching position. She was sent to Fort Selkirk to take charge of the day school there. When she began, she had two students, though soon after the number increased to 12. She married a local trapper, Alex Coward but didn't like his surname and insisted on being referred to as Mrs. Cowaret. The construction of the Klondike Highway to Mayo (1953) and to Dawson (1954) forced Fort Selkirk residents to move to Minto and Pelly Crossing. She remained in the area and served as an active member of the Anglican Women's Auxiliary until her death at Minto in 1958. (Source: Diocesan Board of the Women's Auxiliary of Yukon. Five Pioneer Women of the Anglican Church. Whitehorse: Diocesan Board of the Women's Auxiliary of Yukon, 1964.)

St. Andrew's Anglican Church is one of three buildings remaining of the Anglican Church Mission. Built in 1931, the church was dedicated by Reverend I.0. Stringer. It was built of materials from the Yukon Field Force barracks and was the only building in Fort Selkirk designed by an architect. The building is the most elaborate one at Fort Selkirk and is a well-known and photographed landmark on the Yukon River. Once a focal point of the community, the church has been used occasionally for services since 1953, when the last resident minister, Kathleen Cowaret, moved to Minto.

The Coward Cabin, Machine Shop & Garage Built in 1898, the Coward Cabin was the Yukon Field Force officers' residence and is one of only three remaining Yukon Field Force buildings. Alex Coward moved the building from the Field Force complex in the 1920s. Coward was a well-known jack-of-all-trades who could build, move and repair anything. He lived in the cabin with his wife, Kathleen Cowaret (Martin), the long-time Anglican lay missionary. Mr.Coward added a kitchen to the east side and a porch on the back. Coward's workshop was in the Machine Shop. The variety and quantity of items in the shop indicates that he was a collector. The isolation of Fort Selkirk forced residents like Coward to be prepared for any contingency, which meant keeping everything that might come in handy.
