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 leavessurviving him three sisters, Mrs, Robert Johnston, Mrs, HenrV Marlton and Mtss Johnston, of God. ei•iah, Ontario ; three daughters, Mrs. George Clark, Huntsville, Muskoka, Ont. ; Mrs. John Duruiau.
