In those days there was justone settler, Henry Brainard, who beganhomesteading in 1889, before theShuswap was surveyed. And it wasHenry who planted the area’s firstorchard which helped promotesettlement of the region.It was likely the promise of fruitgrowing that attracted the wealthyindustrialist James Kinghorn fromOntario to the South Shuswap. When hearrived in 1907, he renamed thesettlement Sorrento after the Sorrento inItaly as Copper Island reminded him ofthe Isle of Capri.Kinghorn chose a 36 acre plot for hisorchard and formed a developmentcompany that sold ten acre parcels ofland. His estate home, which he calledSpes Bona, meaning ‘good hope’ tookthree years to build and when it burneddown in 1927 it was rebuilt with bricksimported from Ontario. After Kinghorndied in 1944, the estate passed throughseveral owners until it was purchasedby the Anglican Church in 1958 whichdeveloped it into the successfulSorrento Centre.The Sorrento townsite was anotherone of Kinghorn’s projects, with theplans for the lots and water systemdesigned in 1918 by a famous townplanner in England. However, it wasn’tuntil the early 1960s that the pie shapedlots were sold and the water system wasinstalled.From its early days as Trapper’sLanding, Sorrento has been atransportation hub because of the ferryservice to the North Shuswap and itsproximity to the railway station atNotch Hill. This year marks the 100thanniversary of the old Sorrento GeneralStore building located one block belowthe highway. The first communitycentre was built in the 1930’s nearwhere the Lighthouse Market store istoday. In the mid-fifties, this hall had to(Continued on page 2)

The province provided theland for the new hall, which was builtwith donated materials by volunteers.The relocation of the highway whichat first went through Notch Hill toCarlin and then to Tappen, has been acontroversy since it was first proposedand is now even more of a concern. Agroup of Sorrento residents, under theleadership of Don Mogridge formed theSouth Shuswap Action Committee andmade a concerted effort to advocate forrelocating the highway, as its currentlocation creates safety problems andimpedes growth.There is no shortage of organizationsHarry Brainard,Sorrento’s First FruitGrowerBy Jim CoopermanThe Shuswap region, from 18841930, was part of the railway belt, astrip of land twenty miles wide alongthe track which had been set aside bythe province as a subsidy for thebuilding of the railway. Because little ofthe land was fit settlement, the CPRrefused to accept it and consequentlythe Dominion Government retained theblock and granted the CPR land in thePeace River. When settlers began to250.675.4112working for the betterment of Sorrento.The Sorrento Community Associationoperates an Info Centre and deals withissues such as finding a properGreyhound bus stop, developing a trailto the lake and beautifying thecommunity. The Sorrento BusinessImprovement Association was formedin 2001 to foster the economic, culturaland social welfare of the community.Meanwhile, the board that runs theMemorial Hall suffers from a lack ofvolunteers and needs directors tomaintain its service as a centre for thecommunity.The Memorial Hall is one of thelargest halls in the Shuswap and ispopular for dances, weddings, familyreunions, funerals, meetings, craft andpottery sales as well as the annual artshow. Attached to the hall is theSorrento Drop-In Society, formerlyknown as the OAPO Hall (Old AgePensioner’s Organization), whosemembers use the facility for quilting,card games, pool games, bingo, weightloss meetings and line dancing. TheB.C. OAPO formed in 1932 and wasthe first advocacy group for seniors inNorth America and about thirteen yearsago, the Sorrento OAPO group hostedthe annual provincial convention.As the population increased withretirees and the economic base switchedfrom farming to tourism, much haschanged in Sorrento. But as Kinghornenvisioned, the attractive Mediterranean-like view of the lake is still Sorrento’scharm.arrive to settle at the Shuswap after therailway was complete, they had to fillout numerous forms with DominionGovernment, detailing the work theydid on their homesteads. Today, thesepre-emption files are in the ProvincialArchives in Victoria and they containvaluable information about our earlypioneersHenry W. Brainard, Sorrento’s firstsettler, began homesteading here in1889, before the Shuswap region wassurveyed. He was an American whoquite possibly came north to work onthe construction of the CPR. The firstyear he built a 16 x 22 foot log houseand began clearing land. He lived with aBlackfoot Indian woman from Montananamed Kitty Birk. They had three sons,Harry, Charlie and Fred. Kitty hadchildren previously, who became ratherwell known in the district; NancyHopwood, Tommy Foster and Mrs.Frank Ouelette.Harry, (often men named Henry werecalled Harry) gradually cleared moreland and in 1893, he built a new 21 x 22foot house worth about 250.Eventually, they had 15 acres undercultivation producing apples,(Continued on page 3)
Trappers Landing News 2012 Page 3(Harry Brainard—Continued from page 2)raspberries and strawberries. For water,Harry dug irrigation ditches and built awooden flume that ran for 150 yardsfrom where the Dilworth farm is today.J. Vicars, an early surveyor, reported in1892, “The part of Twp. 22 R. 11surveyed by me is fairly goodagricultural land with plenty of waterwhich may be easily obtained forirrigation purposes. It is, however,heavily timbered, which will make theclearing slow and expensive work.Many of the settlers are taking up fruitculture and with very fair success.”Sorrento’s reputation as an orchardarea began with Harry Brainard in the1890’s. Settlers needed other sourcesof cash than what their small farmsproduced, so many of them worked inthe forests. Harry cut cordwood withJohn Dilworth, which they rafted downthe river to Kamloops to sell.Sometimes they cut wood where theywere not allowed. On April 22, 1892,Harry received a letter warning himagainst cutting wood on Dominionlands.In 1894, Harry became a naturalizedcitizen of Canada. His fruit farming wasbecoming more successful. He shippedhis produce via the CPR to Donald,B.C. where the railway divisional pointwas then located. A livery businessowner, Charlie Baines, loved theShuswap apples and decided to movehere in 1900. He purchased 20 acres oforchards from Harry and began farminghere. Harry finally received the patentfor his 147 acres in 1901. Shortly after,he sold the remaining acres to theKinghorm’s Land DevelopmentCompany.Little is known about what happenedto Harry then. Kitty moved to Squilaxand Harry worked in some lumbercamps and then possibly moved back tothe U.S. His son, Harry Jr., triedhomesteading at Lee Creek in 1908,where he cleared land and built a loghouse. Unfortunately, he had a lame legand had difficulty working the rockyland so he abandoned the homestead in1913 and then left for California withhis brother Charlie.Harry Brainard was the first of manyShuswap pioneers who cleared andsettled homesteads and then sold out tomove elsewhere. Harry’s majorcontribution was that he was one of thefirst settlers to grow fruit successfully,thus demonstrating to the incomingsettlers the potential the Shuswap hadas an orchard area.Trappers Landing NewsA Special Edition of the Sorrento WavePublished in 2012 to commemoratethe 100th anniversary of Sorrento.1200 copies printed and distributed atlocal businesses.Editor: Cathy SpaldingIn Collaboration With: LouiseBarber, Jim CoopermanMailing address: PO Box 566,Sorrento, BC, V0E 2W0Email: sorrentowave@gmail.comPrinted by: Hucul PrintingFrom the Editor:The Trappers Landing News was anannual paper published from the mid1980’s to mid-90’s by Brian Hurstfieldand the Chamber of Commerce.

Trappers Landing News 2012 Page 4Church of CapriChurch of St. Mary the Virgin, SorrentoReprinted from Trappers Landing News1988, written by Nowell Sadler BrownOur geographically vast communityof North and West Shuswap was indeedsparsely populated back in the early1900’s when its residents decided theyneeded a church building on which topivot community worship and socialaffairs.In those days most of the settlers herewere of British origin who missed thetraditional parish church they hadgrown up with in the Old Country,when they moved to this wild new land.Soon, however, with permission fromAnglican Church authorities, thecommunity began work on a churchbuilding at Trappers Landing (the oldname for Sorrento) as being mostcentral to this vast region.Accordingly, in 1910, AlexanderMcKay, a skilled journeyman living onthe North Shore of the main arm of theShuswap Lake, with the help of otherlocal settlers, cut the logs for the newbuilding, which was finished in midsummer 1911. The day it was dedicated,the new Church of St.Mary’s was thescene of the christening of six childrenof local families, including two of theThe Original St. Mary’s ChurchPHOTO SUBMITTED BY JIM COOPERMANMcKay’s. (We are happy to have a linkwith that memorable day in that one ofthose children, Barbara McKay, nowMrs. E.A. Wood, is still with us, wellloved, living in the Village of Chase).Until the first World War, the largearea was served by the Reverend Mr.Grice-Hutchison as pastor, but as thewar progressed, he returned to Englandto join the Chaplain Corps, and the littlechurch was without a proper incumbentuntil peace was declared. During thewar years, however, the parish was notforgotten by the Church authorities,being served from time to time byvisiting clergy and lay-readers andfinally consecrated by the MostReverend A. De Pencier, Archbishop ofNew Westminster, in the late summer of1916.After the Great War, GriceHutchinson returned to the Shuswapand worked vigorously traversing hisvast parish from end to end until hefinally retired, in 1923, leaving as hispermanent memorial, ‘Grice-HutchisonMountain’ named after him, at theconfluence of Seymour Arm and AnsteyArm, north of Cinnemousun Narrows.(Mrs. Edith Salter, of Hilltop RoadSorrento is one of the remainingpioneers of those days. She was marriedin the St. Mary’s Church in 1923, at thefirst wedding ever performed in theChurch.)During the Church’s early years,although without a pastor, it wasfaithfully served by its laity, one ofwho, Mr. W. Sissons, was the firstRector’s Warden. An historic part of thechurch’s furniture, the small lectern,was carved by Mrs. Sisson’s uncle inEngland from a piece of oak salvagedfrom the great Nonsuch Palace, whenthe palace was dismantled and sold bythe mistress of King Charles II, theCountess of Castlemaine. This lecternprovides another link with the EnglishHistory, in that Nonsuch Palace wasbuilt by King Henry VIII and paid forlargely by treasure ransacked by theKing from the tomb of St. ThomasBecket at Canterbury Cathedral.Another layman, John Kinghorn, alsomade a great contribution to the newchurch. He had bought propertyadjacent to St.Mary’s where he intendedto build his manor and plant his orchardand leave his roots. A wealthy Scot, hehad the name of the communitychanged to the more respectableSorrento and was unceasing in his workof trying to establish St. Mary’s as apillar of the new Diocese of Kootenay.When his wife died, Kinghorn movedaway from the area and his propertypassed through several hands until itwas finally bought by the AnglicanChurch to be the site of the SorrentoCentre for Human Development.Although not part of the parish, theSorrento Centre is a useful partner inthe Church’s work of serving thereligious needs of the community,combined with its work of supportingthe spiritual growth of the wholeAnglican Communion in WesternCanada.After a sturdy beginning St. Mary’sunderwent a long period of semi(Continued on page 5)

However, as the districtbegan to build after the Second WorldWar, the developing populationsupported a renewed growth of interestin the Church, which began to have aregular pastorate in the early 1970’s .This regular pastorate came about as aresult of an inspired idea that hadgrown in the community for anagreement between the Diocese and thedistrict Presbytery of the United Churchof Canada; briefly, the two Churchbodies agreed to provide alternateministers to the shared ministry ofShuswap Lakes, in theory an Anglicanpriest will take the incumbency for fouryears, being succeeded for thefollowing four years by a UnitedChurch minister. In practice, the planhas not been totally successful, owingto shortages of clergy of onedenomination or the other but ingeneral, it works quite well. The presentShared Ministry of the Shuswap Lakescomprises the Chase Village parishes ofAll Saints (Anglican) and St. AndrewsA Blind Bay Pioneer StoryBy Jim CoopermanIt is always a joy to discover articlesor books about Shuswap history. Thus,when the copy of “In those Days – TheReedman Family Story” arrived in themail, the thin book was read quicklywith interest. John Reedman, who wasoften called the “mayor” of Blind Bay,was one of the first to homestead there.One of the most fascinating portionsof this book, written by IsabelleReedman who was married to Ken, oneof the family patriarch’s manygrandsons, is the description of why theReedman’s decided to emigrate andhow they ended up in the Shuswap.Her research included interviews with(United) the North Shuswap parish ofSt. David’s (Anglican) and the Sorrentoparish of St. Mary’s.From an active congregation of aboutfifteen parishioners in 1970 to itscurrent congregation of over sixty, St.Mary’s has shown steady growth. In1975 the Church Board established afund to enlarge and modernize thechurch building to accommodate theforeseeably increased population and aSunday school. During the Depression,a Kamloops architect, Ian Morrison,oversaw the removal of the log walls –suffering from dry rot – and theirreplacement by a frame structure with aplaster and half timber finish , in theBritish style. In 1986, the buildingcommittee, with the help from theDiocese, ordered the construction of anaddition to the body of the church. ASorrento contractor, Terry Ramsay,with local sub contractors andvolunteers, undertook the work.The finished building now has morethan double the capacity of the original,with an extended chancel and ampleoffice and vestry space. The newdownstairs has a hall and kitchen andmodern plumbing with lots of room forchurch and Sunday School activities.family elders and was aided by thediaries and journals of John’s sonArchie who passed away in 1958.Stories like these, of how the pioneersarrived in the Shuswap, provide us withinsight about the motives of the originalsettlers and help us understand how ourcommunities formed.The Reedman family hailed fromStamford, England, where they hadlived for generations. It flourished inthe Middle Ages as one of England’sprime wool towns, but although it laterdeclined in importance it was stillrecognized as one of the country’s bestpreserved medieval towns.

When investigations under thenew law uncovered massive gamblingdebts for a good friend and respectedbusinessman, who then committedsuicide, John began to have seriousdoubts about remaining in England.After his second wife died, John hiredFlorence as a housekeeper to help withhis three young sons from his firstmarriage. He grew fond of her and theysoon fell in love and married. Thisunion set “tongues wagging” in theclass-conscious England of the early1900s and some former friends werehurtful to Florence.That was the last straw for John andthe emigration posters, such as one thatNew Townsite at SorrentoArtistically Planned for Summer Homesand Local CentreReprinted from 1912 Salmon ArmObserverActing for a syndicate the KamloopsTrust Co., of Kamloops, have acquiredthe Sorrento townsite, consisting ofLots 13 and 14 on registered plan 690,said, “Go to British Columbia”depicting an apple tree with silverdollars on its branches, began to lookvery attractive to him. He sent Harry,his oldest son, first, to reconnoiter andreport back. His letters were filled withenthusiasm and he found both Albertaand Saskatchewan particularlyappealing. Meanwhile, back in England,John and Florence started a family andbegan making plans to leave.Finally on April 6, 1905, John and hisfamily boarded the steamer “Virginian”and sailed to Canada. It took ten days tocross the Atlantic and another six daysbefore they arrived by train in Calgary,where they met Harry and a few dayslater celebrated John’s 50th birthday.Their plan was to journey toLloydminster, Sask., where Harry hadfound good farming land, but fateintervened when a fellow lodger at theirhotel introduced them to another recentimmigrant from a town close to theirhometown of Stamford, Frank Barnard.Frank had a son, Arthur, who had alsoscouted out potential areas tohomestead the previous year. He alongwith a friend had travelled to SalmonArm and Fortunes Landing (nowEnderby) and explored the Shuswap onlogging trails using a rented wagon andteam of oxen. They were mostimpressed with Blind Bay and thus theBarnards decided to homestead thereafter completing work in Calgary.When Frank heard about John’s plans tosettle in Saskatchewan, he told him,“You can’t take a young wife there,you’ll kill her!”As luck would have it, the Reedmansmissed their train and the next day theyjoined the Barnards and journeyed toNotch Hill. Finally, on May 6, 1905,John and Harry left the others to set upthe tents and after taking a few wrongtrails they emerged at Blind Bay towitness the pristine beauty of the lakewith the mountains in the distance stillcovered in snow. Deciding then that thisis where they wanted to make their newlife, they proceeded “to have a bath,”obviously not minding the cold water.and comprising 37 acres.

Hundreds of people came,some from as far away as Kamloopsand Kelowna to participate and watch.There were boat races, side shows,aquatic events, refreshments and adance to end the day in style. The earlyShuswap pioneers were mostly Britishand when they celebrated they did itwith class and refinement.The first Regattas were organized bythe Reverend Grice-Hutchinson, whowas himself an accomplished athlete, aswell as a very sociable gentleman. Hesupervised the construction of a twentyfoot high diving platform from whichhe won the contest with his famousswan dive that he always performedwith “grace”!Lee Creek pioneer, Barbara Wood,has fond memories of the Regattas. Sherecalls how everyone came for miles. “Ientered a ladies’ rowing race”. Therewere three boats, she drew straws to seewho got which boat. “I came in secondwith a big rowboat, the first placewinner had a canoe! The motor boatsraced to Copper Island from the wharf.There was ice cream, pop and runningraces for the kids”.At one time, Regattas were held allover the lake – in Salmon Arm,Sunnybrae, Sicamous, Chase and BlindBay. A 1912 issue of the Chase Tribunereported, “For people of leisure, theBlind Bay Regatta robs the SorrentoSchool of most of its pupils for theday”.With today’s growing touristbusiness, Shuswap communities shouldconsider reviving the Regattas.Certainly we could learn to enjoyourselves today, as well as our pioneersdid in the early years.Who do you think would win thediving contest today?History NotesThe continuing rain in the Sorrentoarea is doing damage to the crops. Thehay cannot be cured and the grain cropsare already lodging badly. Theraspberry crop at Notch Hill is not agreat success as so much rain is makingberries almost unfit for shipping.Reprinted from Trappers LandingNewsAugust 8, 1935—Sorrento LadiesGuild held their monthly meeting onFriday 26th at the home of Mrs.Newman.
Trappers Landing News 2012 Page 8The Wisdom of Our EldersBy Jim CoopermanMy fascination with local historybegan in the mid-1980s due to anoverwhelming curiosity about ourcommunity’s namesake, Billy Lee, forwhom the creek was first named after. Iquickly realized how fortunate we are inthat the history of settlement is soaccessible because it is so recent,especially when compared to most otherregions in North America. My researchin those years included interviewing anumber of sons and daughters of theoriginal North Shuswap pioneers andmy appreciation of their stories becamestrengthened in part because of theparallels between their lives and myown.Knowing that most of the children ofour community’s pioneers have longsince passed away, I was surprised toreceive a very thoughtful letter inMarch of this year from Phyllis Parkes,who was one of the first babies born inthe then new Royal Inland Hospital in1912! Phyllis wrote the letter to add herdisapproval of the decision to allowhouseboats to continue dumpinggreywater sewage into Shuswap Lake,as this was where she grew up as thedaughter of South Shuswaphomesteaders, Walter and Kate Dunne.Born in Fort Morley, Alberta in 1883,Walter Dunne first arrived in 1903 tohomestead near Sorrento, afterreturning from the Boer War. In 1906,he married Kate, the daughter ofanother nearby homesteader, FrankBarnard. In addition to planting the firstapple orchard in the area, Walter builtlog houses, cleared land for hisneighbours, operated a sawmill,ploughed the roads in winter, and cuttimbers used for construction projectssuch as the Red Bridge in Kamloops.In the summer of 2010, I had theopportunity to meet and interviewPhyllis, who still spends summers inone of the cabins her father built on thehomestead. Although frail, her mind isstill sharp and she cares deeply aboutthe need to protect the quality of ourwater. She still remembers herchildhood years: walking to the BlindBay School, sometimes through fourfeet of snow; stacking lumber andfirewood for her father; travelling onsleighs across the ice on the lake in thewinter; picking cherries and currants;and helping with many of the farmingchores.While the winters were indeed colderthen than now, the summers were justas hot. Fires were also quite prevalent(Continued on page 9)Old TimeRecipeBaked BeansThroughout our earlyhistory, Canadian explorers, trappersand lumberjacks, as well as our armies,all depended on baked beans.2 cups navy beans2 tsp salt3½ oz salt pork1 cup maple syrup2 cups liquid from beans½ tsp dry mustard½ cup chopped onionsDash of pepperSoak beans overnight in 6 cups water.Drain.
