Pictures Recall
When Huntingdon
Was Busy Centre

A picture that is more than 40
years old on display in THENEWS
window this week presents an in-
terior scene and three members
of the staff of the C.P.R.. station
at Huntingdon about the year 1896.
It is one of several additional pic-
tures on view from the collection
of Mrs, Fraser York, Sumas pio-
neer. A memo on the back of this
picture names the three men sit-
ting in the station office as: “Mr.
Schofield, agent; Mr, Cunningham,
Mr. Jones, operator.”

Though not so old, another pic-
ture gives a glimse of an early
public building at Huntingdon and
members of its staff. This Pic-
ture, dated about 1913 or 1914, is
of a group of men in the old Cus-
toms office. According to a memo
on the margin the men are: T.F.
York, W. Blatchford, Fred Kick-
bush and MacCall.”

There are comparatively few
residents who will remember the
former railway hotel building that
once graced Huntingdon but which
burned many years ago. A third
picture loaned by Mrs. York is
marked: “Group of ladies of the
old Huntingdon Hotel.” Mrs. York

remembers them as: Mrs. Schie-
ber (Reirson) Sumas, Wn.; Mrs.
Moulton, .deceased; Julia York

who operated the C.P.R. depot cof-
fee stand in the days of the daily
train service on the Mission-Ab-
botsford-Huntingdon line; Artie
Nims now in Vancouver; one un-
known now; and Mrs. McCormack
(Teena McGregor) of Vancouver.

An album contains numerous
snaps of groups and individuals
but, unfortunately, few dates. Pic-
nics were apparently a poplar pas-
time and Sumas Prairie offered
attractive picnic spots to judge by
some of the pictures, There are
several pictures of May 24 picnics
on Sumas Prairie. Included isan
early p.cture of docks and yacht
club at Victoria.

Several copies of early news-
papers have been loaned THENEWS
and extracts of interest from these
papers will be published next weck.
