Photo shows a large gathering. In Dave Taylor’s notes on the album page, Mrs. Holmes was the wife of W. H. Holmes, a river freighter whom she married in Yale BC. They came to Granite Creek in 1885. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their ranch on the Blakeburn road in 1930, and she died soon after. The Holmes clan has its burial plot at that ranch where also around this time the young family of a daughter, Mrs. W. Robinson who lived near Tulameen, died in a night fire.
