The Barbours – Pioneers of Squamish and Pembertonpemberton museum
This week’s Tale was presented by Eric Andersen a local historian from Squamish and featured his research on the Barbour family of Squamish & Pemberton. Charles and his brother Allan started the first large scale logging company in Squamish. Charles and his wife Dora lived in Pemberton from the early 1900’s to the 1940s. Charles wrote a letter to the Daily Province in Vancouver lamenting the lack of connection between Pemberton and the Coast in 1901 and estimated a loss of over $1,000,000 in potential agricultural products that could be produced in the rich farm lands. His wife Dora started Pemberton’s first milk run in 1906. She made a sack to be fastened over a horses back, with compartments on each side to hold glass milk bottles so that milk could be delivered to One Mile or Pemberton Station. Dora was also a member of the Women’s Auxiliary of the Church of England during her time in Pemberton. The Gimse family lived in the Barbour house in the 1940’s. Bert and Kathleen Lundgren bought the farm in the 1940’s and lived in the old house until a new one was built by Bert in the 1950’s. Kia-ora Mobile Home Park is now located on a portion of the old Barbour farm lands.

This pps is one of my prized ones. It has either a well preserved collection of Old and Historic photographs, or the photos have been digitally restored like they do with old movies. It has a nice soft background music and slides advance by clicking. One of those photos (Pinkerton) is almost 150 years old !

22. Everybody has his messtin. The men with a stick are coal-trolley brakers. Many wear gloves, a surprising safety measure for that time (1911)
23. Coal sieving Pennsylvania – 1911 The boys ate sitting straight above the coal conveyor belts. In spite of the spraytubes (visible on the photo), there seems to be quite some dust (visible neat the windows).
