"The Roman Catholics had a church building long before any of the other denominations. There was a Catholic Church and no road to get to it (1890). A priest from St. Mary's Mission used to come out once a month or less to take services <although> he had difficulty in rounding up a congregation" (Sleigh 28). The Catholic Church stood on land first registered in the names of Edward and Emery Tremblay (on the north-east corner of Cooper Road and Lougheed Highway), and the site was given by a Mrs. Tremblay in memory of her husband. The legal side of the transfer was evidently overlooked, for when a subsequent buyer of the corner site came to sign the documents in the 1920s, he discovered that he was now the owner of a church and a cemetery! He hastened to make the transfer official" (Sleigh 28).

.

"A Catholic Indian Cemetery was established on the west side of today's North Deroche Road. There was also a Catholic cemetery beside the little wooden church at Cooper Road; today this graveyard is lost in a thicket of trees … some graves were moved to the Hatzic Cemetery at a time when the highway was widened" (Sleigh 29-30).

This collection contains Dominion Lands Branch files and registers relating to land settlement in the Railway Belt and the Peace River Block in British Columbia. The Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, by a memorandum of agreement dated 6 April 1972, transferred the files to the British Columbia Department of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources. The files were deposited in the Provincial Archives of British Columbia in June of that year. The registers were received in the spring of 1969. The federal government retained custody of general, policy, and ruling files. These files and microfilm copies of letters patent covering Crown grants were transferred to the Public Archives of Canada in 1972. Correspondence pertaining to the transfer of this material from federal to provincial jurisdiction is filed in BC Archives government records accession 91-2546-7:

According to Margaret (Snodgrass) Gillies, Arthur arrived in BC by sailing around Cape Horn, South America. He arrived in the province some time prior to 1887. The following describes one man's trip round the Horn - "Before the construction of the Panama Canal, the only way for ships to cross between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans was to brave the southern ocean. Cape Horn is the most extreme southern tip of Chile and the seas there are as rough today as they were hundreds of years ago. Sailing around the 'Horn is considered by some to be the Mount Everest of sailing".

Later in life Susan babysat her grandchildren while their mother, Celina, worked. Two interesting stories they told were of Susan sewing burrs on their coats in the place of buttons (an early form of Velcro), and of her placing baked potatoes in their pockets before going to school on a cold winter's day. The heat from the potatoes would keep their hands warm, and they would be devoured at lunch time as a nutritious meal.
