11 Nov Two favourite BC ghost towns
B.C. is the best for ghost towns. Bustling, vibrant towns come out of nowhere when the Ore is found and then seem to vanish just as quick. I found two Soldiers from the largest ghost town in BC. Bug enough to contribute Men and Money to the Canadian Patriotic Fund but gone years later. From Anyox, BC, I found two Men; Leonard Haslett, died November 1, 1917, and Frederick Wilkinson, killed April 6, 1917. Is there a War Memorial there? My fav ghost town is Sandon. Still a fascinating place to visit. Old Rails stick out of the mine shafts and pit heads (the Rails are all dated and numbered to Algoma Steel 1907 where I worked after University in the Rail Mill). Kenneth McLeod of the 43rd Camerons died November 23, 1918 in Canada. He came from Sandon.
