Love the site. Dropped in to look for any information on a CNR employee from
the early 1900's Frederick Maxwell Griffin. He would have been my Great
grandfather. Rumour has it that he was relatively important in the construction
of certain parts of the CNR, had alot of money but ended up poor and in prison.
Intriguing? Yes. Possible to get any information? Not yet.

I am looking for a place called Eholt B.C. I have a picture dated 1898 that has

changed or does not exist?

I am formerly of Lipton, and our farm resided on the old #35 highway between
Lipton and Leross. The highway circa 1948-50 was a little more than a trail,
truthfully. There was no gravel, and was a highway by decree and number only,
and it was necessary to follow the signs in order to stay on track. Bushes gew
immediately along the edges, often overhanging, and would scratch the paint on
the sides of the vehicles when passing on-coming traffic. In essence, the road
was prairie with the grass scraped off, and consequently the actual road
surface was below the adjacent prairie. There were few ditches on the highway,
and only raised grades where it passed through a small slough. I say small,
because the highway was very; winding, snakeing around the slightest obstacles,
many of which were sloughs. The black dirt became impossible gumbo whenever it
rained, and I recall many times travellers would be hoplessly stuck and would
find their way to our home, and stay until the ground dried up enough to
travel. Sometimes wed have guests for days. My father was one of the few with a
sturdy tractor, and would start it up and go with the traveller to retrieve the
vehicle and tow it into the yard. Most times, hed never be offered any
compensation for his good deeds, and remarked about it, because he could ill
afford to burn precious gasoline. In those days, our little family was
borderline starving. Little did he know, that although travelling, the
recipients of his hospitality were probably poorer that he was. I now fly
Boeing 747 airplanes.

I purchased a booklet of this mapping from a
thrift store abut 10 years ago. It is one of the originals and I am
wondering if it is of value. Could you give me any information as to who
if anyone might be interested in purchasing this book. It is in pretty
good shape but for a couple of small tears. Thank you Janet

I enjoyed what I had the time to look at and of course the map of my region.
Of course our town is not shown of the one I did access. It came into being in
1923 but was settled in the surrounding areas in the very early years of the
1900's and forward.
I wish to sign your guestbook.
Albert.
