-- William Sugden Jemmett pictured in 1897. H surveyed DLs 303 and 304
(present day Sechelt) in 1875 when John Scales was in the process of acquiring
the land between 1869 and 1891. Jemmett had served for 15 years as an
officer with the 41st and 15th Foot Regiments and came to B. C. when he
retired from the army. He settled in Agassiz ten years before the railroad
was built, being one of the earliest pioneers in the area.
