 Brian Kingman - Mount Lehman, BC
Misinformation; a sign that perhaps should be corrected. Not Est. 1864! The informative sign post as you enter the settlement community of Mount Lehman is a very thoughtful introduction sign. However, I for one, believe the date is ten years out as in my opinion, the discussion and decision to call the community Mount Lehman occurred well after 1874.

Centre Edward Taylor, Bill Spallin and Lorne Goghlan Mt Lehman, BCBrian Kingman, September 2012 As time marches on, some of the pioneer landmark names seem to disappear from our written history. For some reason, in early British Columbia, naming of treacherous hills seemed to be in vogue. For example, the old King George Highway through Surrey had two notorious hills. One known as the Woodward hill rising from the Mud Bay region to past Highway 10 and the Petersen Hill which started at Whalley’s Garage and ended at the Pattullo Bridge. The old Hope-Princeton Highway had the infamous “Whip-Saw Hill” the bane of many early travelers. The Fraser Canyon with its’ famous “Jack-Ass Mountain hill.

RE: Mt. Lehman Cemetery Expansion Project FROM: Scott Watson, Abbotsford City We will be delaying the construction of Mt. Lehman Cemetery until 2016, looking to get started early in the New Year. This delay is as a result of getting the Request For Proposal out late, reviewing the proposals, having all of the proposals exceed the allotted budget and then with the Christmas Season coming up quickly not wanting to have the cemetery in a disarray shape during the holiday season. As we were optimistic that the expansion would be completed by the end of November 2015, it is just not possible. Your continued support in this project is appreciated. If you..

He was born above its banks, lived his whole life beside it, and spent his entire working career on it. Albert’s grandfather moved his family to what is now North Bradner/Mount Lehman in 1907, coming from Red Deer in the newly minted Province of Alberta that, until 1905 was part of the North West Territories. |
