...SO THEY LOADED EVERYTHING ON A WAGON AND CAME HERE...
By Mike Holman. Kam loops Sentinel - Wednesday, May 12, 1948
It was "Kam loops or Bust" for Mr. and Mrs. James W. Pearson, their three children, 17 hens and a rooster, when they left their New Westminster farm last month all safely stowed away in an old delivery wagon hauled by their two work-horses, and with their three dogs running in front as an "advanceguard". They reached here the other day on the last leg of the trek to their new farm home just east of town.
Though they got to Kamloops with Rhode Island Red hens still laying, the Pearson sage almost ended in Hope when a car bumped into their wagon, parked for the night at the roadside.
So they loaded everything into a moving van, including the wagon and kept on coming.
Mr. and Mrs. Pearson with Carole 4, Garry two and a half, and Doreen 6 months sleep in the back of the former David Spencer Ltd, delivery wagon. A camp stove keeps them cozy.
The family's three dogs, Spot, Trix and Venus, homestead the ground wherever the wagon is parked and the two Pearson Percherons, Prince and Nellie, also make them selves comfortable wherever they are.
The red-cabbed, white-wheeled wagon looks like something out of a jypsies camp. There's a chicken pen on the roof, a hand-plow, potted plants, folding cots farm tools, baby buggy, suitable and mailbox all strapped to the outside. Altogether it probably is the most mobile farm dwelling ever put together.
The Pearson's have raised cattle, sheep and poultry for the last eight years on a rented Fraser Valley farm, but "when the farm sold I persuaded my husband to come to Kamloops. It's a great clime here despite this rain" Mrs. Pearson who recovered her health on a visit here some years ago. Before he came to B.C. Mr. J. Pearson was a fish-hatchery man in Ontario for 13 years.
