A few examples of the newspaper items I found over the weekend, all of which add either important information to our research or add names to our ever-growing list of early residents. Thanks to that little tidbit in the Abbotsford Post's social column, we also now know when Mr. & Mrs. James Dobson took over Aldergrove's Western Home Hotel. (Mr. Dobson's name is spelled wrong in the article).
It's interesting to note that one probably could not take a boat trip without it making the newspaper - and once you landed at your destination, chances are your name would also be in the list of those registered at the hotels.
