Sorry Richard, there are no record, But they tell me that the Kamloops Family History Society is suppose to have a list of headstones. Have you been in touch with them or would you like me to find out?

Thanks for checking. My understanding is that there are few headstones, so yes if you could find out that would be great.

The Lady that is doing the project, said she has a list of names but no details yet and if I give her a name that I'm researching she would find it for me. But you just want them all don't you??
So we will have to wait unless you have a name

Hello Richard,

I was just wondering if you found any information on the Old Men's Home in Kamloops. My great great grandfather was in the Gold Rush and he was a settler on Salt Spring Island, by 1861. He had family but I guess he burnt to many bridges and ended up living in Victoria from place to place and no where to go in his old age. So by the late 1890's in his senior years he was moved to Kamloops to the Old Men's Home. His last years were spent at the home and he died there in 1902. He was born about 1834 in Ireland and arrived with the Hudson Bay Company via overland (portage) from the Maritimes to York Factory and finally to Fort Langley and then Fort Victoria by 1853. He was in the Gold Rush and out very early, as he was at Bella Bella by 1861. Family lore has it that he went up the Fraser River but came out at Bella Coola, and then on to Bella Bella.... and back to Salt Spring Island. My great great grandfather's name was James McFadden. I have been to Kamloops museum and Archives. they have a few pictures of James McFadden and some history but little. His grave was unmarked but we never did look hard for it as at that time I was there the person in charge of the cemetery was away on holiday. Our family has his portrait as a young man and he is mentioned in a few history books. But, he is relatively unknown and an early BC pioneer.

Kind regards ...Rocky

I've been searching for one particular relative who was said to have died in the Provincial Home in 1905. In the process, I managed to do a search on the superintendent of the Home, Hugh McLean, in the 1901 Census and found a listing of the lodgers. It's 1901 only, of course, but should give a good indication of who was there. Other than that, I've found nothing online or at the museum.
