Hull, Oroville, Washington Author: ssmithjo Date: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 Classification: Query Surnames: Fortine, Fortie
I am seeking information on George Hector Fortine (or Fortie)who migrated to Molson from Kelowna, B.C. between 1908-11. Mr. Fortine raced Canadian Pacers from Quebec to Kelowna and settled in Molson, establishing a sawmill in either Chesaw or Mt. Hull. He married Flora Welling 1-19-1907 and later moved to Oroville around 1911 where he raised and trained horses for logging. Can anyone tell me about his connection to the sawmill or his life in the area?
