Capt H. M. Seaton gave a lecture in New Hazelton
Was this area named after him?
He served 18 years in the Imperial forces,
and had served in India, South Africa and Egypt.
He apprenticed at sea at age 12
He had visited every country in the world,
and could speak 7 languages.
b- Scotland
or was it after
Lord Seaton, of Beechwood Devon
England?
More I read about Lord Seaton, more I think it was named after him.
Yonge St, in toronto was named after the Yonge shown.
Seaton Lake and Seaton Creek in the south of BC
probably named after them as well.
