• Notes

  Moved West: William left Farewell c1899 - Part of South half, L12 C11, that William got from his father in 1888, was sold to John E Allen 14 Feb 1900. For a time, William Allen operated a planing mill in Farewell on property provided by his father. In a letter to my great aunt in Iron Bridge, Ontario, Lois (Allen) Matthews said: "Grandfather Willie owned a planing mill. He had the same in Grandview Man. Also he built the brick house that was the store and the Baptist Church and the school and the hotel. He did the same in Manitoba. The school is now a museum in Manitoba." More 'Lois Memories': "The mill closed in Grandview when the decent logs were gone - c1920. After that Grandfather built "Eaton" package houses, precut in Vancouver mills and sent by train. Jack and Charlie came west to build mills here [B.C.]"
