The source of this material is the National Archives of Canada First Postmaster W. G. Russell I can not find any info on a W. G. Russell in Rupert in 1906/7 but I am now thinking Post Records have an error in the first Initial. I think this is really E. G. Russell. Mr Russell was a very important man in the area at this time, since he was a negotiator for the land here, and without his efforts, Charles Hays wouldn't have a City here. The sad part of the story, besides the treatment of the Natives by the GTPR, is he committed suicide, on his way out of Rupert on a steamer, heading to Victoria and home. Below is his Bio and info I found on his life. I am having trouble finding his family, after his death. Suicide in a family can be a traumatic thing to handle. Edwin G.
