William Cross Smithson - a lovely Englishman - and his Metis (half-breed) wife Julia (no surname known), were a couple of the original pioneers that settled Kelowna, BC in the mid 1800s. In fact he had the first orchard (Kelowna now famous for) and gave property for the first school. They are my GG-Grandparents.
There are no photos of their eldest child, my G-Grandmother Rose Smithson (b 1868).
There is, however this fantastic photo of her sister, Eusebia Smithson. Is that Injun enough for you?! She was born in the late 1870s, putting this photo 1900?
Rose Smithson would marry François Bouvette, a Metis who came from Pembina, ND. Their eldest daughter Emma (the first child ever born in the new Kelowna hospital) would marry some crazy Irishman from Belfast, Charles Armstrong, who after graduating military school was serving some military something-or-other on behalf of the UK in British Columbia when he saw a fine local girl, eloped before running off to war, and the rest is history. After WWI (I have about 250 letters he wrote to her while serving), he gathered up his bride and moved to Detroit.
About 45 years and two generations later, a wee bairn named Sir Creep took his place on this big blue marble.
