Transcription of Elizabeth Foster Obituary (Ashcroft) Obituary

"Pioneer Daughter Dies At Lillooet - At the age of 84 years and after a short illness, Mrs. E. Foster of Lillooet died in the Lytton hospital yesterday, April 21st. She was one of the large family of boys and girls of the late James Dickey who came to Lillooet in early gold mining days. By her first marriage she was Mrs. (Bill) Keathley of the 15-Mile ranch and teamster on the Ashcroft-Lillooet road. Keathley died in February 19th, 1897, at the 13-mile house near Hat Creek on his way to Ashcroft for a load of freight. His widow shortly afterward then married M. Foster who continued on the ranch for a few years then moved to Lillooet, and bought the Carey farm below the town. It is said they sold the "if" for about $23,000. Mr. Foster died in September 1919, and for may years Mrs. Foster operated the ranch. Her apples were famous and she supplied Cariboo for years, selling out recently.

Mrs. Foster had no children but is survived by one brother, Robert living up the Fraser from Lillooet; three sisters, Mrs. Chisholm, Mrs. McDonald, Big Bar, and Mrs. McPhail at the coast. Three brothers, James, Joe and William died recently."

Transcription of Elizabeth Foster Obituary (Lillooet)

"Death of Mrs. Foster - Death this week at Lytton Hospital of Mrs. Elizabeth Foster at the age of 83 removes a link between the present and the roaring days of the California gold rush of a century ago. Her father, Jimmie Dickey, came out from Ireland to seek gold and remained on the banks of the Fraser River to till land and raise a large family. He made his way north from California and landed in Lillooet over the first Cariboo Trail, which he helped with other miners to build out of Port Douglas via Lillooet Lake.

When the gold boom of the late fifties died down on the Fraser River, Jimmie Dickey settled on land now known as the Pugh Ranch at Lillooet. He later removed to property opposite Pavilion. He died on the William Dickey Ranch at Texas Creek.

Mrs. Foster was the third child born in a large family. A brother, Robert, survives at Big Bar, and a sister, Mrs. Martha McPhail, in Vancouver. The rest have all passed on and were as follows: Jane Duguid (half sister); Jimmie Dickey, Pavilion; Joe Dickey, Lillooet; William Dickey, Lillooet; Thomas Dickey, Lillooet; Katie Dickey (Mrs. Chisholm), Big Bar; David Dickey, Lillooet.

Mrs. Foster was twice married, her first husband being a freighter on the Cariboo Road named Bill Kethley. Her second marriage was to Moses Foster, who owned the Foster Ranch below Lillooet and who died many years ago.

Mrs. Foster was a supporter of the United Church and a worker in church organizations and a highly respected citizen. She had good business ability and accumulated wealth, including several ranches and considerable cash in the bank and government bonds. She always said that she would never make a will and it is possible her estate will be distributed by the official administrator.

Some years ago she sold the Foster Ranch to Chinese farmers and retired to a cottage in Lillooet. Death followed a stroke of paralysis. Mrs. Foster had enjoyed good health until this spring."

Reviewed several manuscript collections dealing with colonial farm settlers on the Mainland.

Evidence: Located one collection in particular of relevance:

Laing, Frederick William, "Colonial Farm Settlers on the Mainland:1858-1871", British Columbia Archives & Record Service, Add Mss 700, p. 262.

WILLIAM LEE July 11, 1864: P/6 162 Lillooet 160 acres. "Situated on the right bank of the Fraser River, immediately above the first creek below Rest Gulch about 16 miles from Lillooet."

[Certificate of Improvement - April 4 1873; Crown Grant - October 10 1899]

JAMES DICKEY March 6 1872: P./R. 365 Lillooet 160 acres. "Situated on the west bank of the Fraser River, 16 miles from Lillooet adjoining first pre-emption."

[Certificate of Improvement - April 14 1873; Crown Grant - October 10 1899]

JAMES DICKEY Lot 295, G.I. Lillooet 160 acres. The title to this property is vested in James Dickey of Lillooet. Although the records call for two parcels of 160 acres each the two records show each as being part of Lot 295. William Lee started a flour mill at 21 Mile post and the sons of Mrs. Cummins, a sister of William Lee, carried on the mill. In 1886 Mrs. Cummins opened a store at Lillooet, states Mr. Jas. B. Leighton of Savona, who adds that the family was Scotch. The transfer of Lot 295 to James Dickey was made on April 5th, 1873. There were no records in the manuscript for Antoine, Chisholm Duguid, McPhail, or Shinta surnames. More than likely William Leed Dickey, son of James Dickey, was named after the William Lee who sold the property to James Dickey as it is the same lot of property.

Reviewed British Columbia Homestead records for any applications/grants by Dickey family members.

Evidence: Located one relevant application by Thomas Dickey dated 3rd April 1914. ⁷⁷ This application was later cancelled in September 1928 due to lack of meeting requirements as Thomas Dickey was deceased by 1918. Refer to Exhibit XXII for a copy of this application document and cancellation letter.
