JOHN JOHNSTON PASSES AWAY.—The
Dally Columbian of New Westminster,
B. C., under date of February
:nthspeaks o the demise of a
fetrmf er ell known resident of the
6th line as follows :—By the death of
John Johnston, .brother of the late
Wrn. Johnston, of this 011y, which oc-
curred Tuesday Feo. 11t11, there has
been severed another of those interest
tug links which connects the present
with an interesting period, the repre-
sentatives of which are fast disappear-
ing itom our midst. Born near the
town of Boyle, county Sligo, Ireland,
in the year 5524. of a family of land-
owners 01 ancient origin, the decease°
was a typical specimen of his race,
possessing splendid physique, ready
courage combined with a nappy els.
positron and love of adventure. He
followed the impulse of his people and
emigrated to. Canada in the year 1842.
After a very long voyage which 00-
eupted several weeks, he arrived at
Quebec, from here he proceeded to the
county of Huron, Ontario, where be
was among the first settlers in what is
uuw known as the township ot Morns,
where he acquired much land and was
engaged fur a considerable time in the
pursuit of farming: But bearing of
the discovery of gold in the Cariboo,
tie started for the scene of operattons
and arrived in British Columbia in
t8b3 by way yof : whither he
waPanama,
was preceded by his brother. William.
Landing to this city he soon made his
way to hedi in the out t diggings, g, Y means
of access tothese being by way of the
roadaria a nam
fafamous be g the e. He
was engaged thus for several years.'
with varying success, until the excite-
mentsubsided, and later in company
with the late Sergeant-Major Burr
traversed the Northern parts of British
Columbia in a canoe, encountering
many thrilling, adventures among
Indian .tribes in that part of the
country. He was commissioned by
Governor Seymour to explore a creek
on tbe'North shore of Burrard Inlet
which was afterwards named the Gov-
ernor. He traced the creek to its
source and found gold but not in pay-
ing quantities. Settling at Port
Moody about the time of the construct
Mn of the North road, he secured 'ex-
tensive holdings and along with Capt.
Clarice and the late John Murray con-
trolled the townsite of Port Moody,
lie was a continuous resident of the
above place during its boom days
consequent upon the completion of the
Canadian Pacific Railway. About the
year z896 he removed to New West-
minster, purchasing the old Orange
Hall, which was destroyed xn the
general, conflagration of 1898, when he
immediately erected on the same site
the present structure, where he
lived 011 the time oL bis decease. The
late John Johnston was one of the old-
est members of the Orange order in
the Province, having been a member
of the Association for over 65 years
anti.lie was one of the founders of the
first Orange lodge in British Columbia.
Being possessed of a very retentive
memory he was rich in anecdote of a
period in Ireland which has furnished
many interesting' volumes. He was
closely conversant with and abounded
in reminiscences of leading events and
men of the early history of Ontario teed
particularly of British Columbia. He
