Taken near the corner of Fadden & Wellsline Roads on Sumas Prairie in Abbotsford, B.C. (21-03-08-0645)
- from 1908 "Lovell's Gazetteer of the Dominion of Canada" - CHEAM, a post settlement in British Columbia on the Fraser River, 3 miles from Agassiz on the C.P.R. It has 1 Methodist church. Its post is McDonald's Landing. About 2 miles distant is the famous Cheam Peak from the summit of which a magnificent view of the surrounding region and towns can be obtained. This is also an ideal spot for the sportsman. The first Postmaster at Cheam was "Cory Spencer Ryder" (1 January 1892 to 9 August 1894).
- interesting fact about the the first Postmaster at Cheam, B.C. - (1890) As weeks went by, Martin hadn't filled his cabinet and even his friends began to complain. When Martin appointed a Fraser Valley farmer with no previous legislative experience, George Washington Beebe, as provincial secretary, it didn't evoke a strong response. However, the appointment of a small shopkeeper - Cory Spencer Ryder - as minister of finance and agriculture, Liberals called the selection "an insult to the intelligence of the people". He was replaced by a more credible John Cunningham Brown, a postmaster from New Westminster. Link to the complete story - karen-magill.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-short-and-not-so-swee...
Cory Spencer Ryder, (Twin)
Birthdate: July 20, 1834
Birthplace: Millgrove, Hamilton, Hamilton Division, Ontario, Canada
Death: June 14, 1911 (76) at Rosedale, Chilliwack, Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada
Immediate Family:
Son of John Ryder and Mary Ryder
Husband of Amanda Theresa Ryder
Father of Edith Helen Patriquin
Brother of Henrietta Ryder; James Ewart Ryder, (Twin); Emily Ryder; Matilda Harrison and John Ferris Ryder
Name - Cory Spencer Ryder b. 1834 (his brother was John Ferris Ryder) / Matilda Harrison (nee Ryder, 1840-1925) was his sister.
Cory's Spouse - Amanda Theresa Robinson - they were married in 1873 in British Columbia - (the Ryder's were a well known Loyalist family) Link to website - www.reddit.com/r/Genealogy/comments/6tqypv/brick_wall_ide...
In 1873 Cornelius' first posting as a probationer in the Methodist ministry was as an itinerant missionary to New Westminster. His next was a return to Nanaimo. From there he went to `Chilliwhack', as it was then spelled. His cousin, Amanda Theresa Robinson, had been living with the Bryants since they were first married. In Chilliwhack she met and married Cory Spencer Ryder, a Canadian of United Empire Loyalist stock, who farmed at Rosedale, some twelve miles north of the city.
The early road (1890's) from Cheam to Chilliwack and the Landing, led around Little Mountain, following every curve. The other side of the road was lined with thick brush and the story is told of a man who, recognized the sounds of a cougar and knew that he was being followed. He lit one match after another on the trail and attributed his safe arrival at a Mr. Thompson's farmhouse to the lighting of the matches. Link (lots of history about Cheam) - www.genealogyfreelancers.com/additional_files/a8ea49834fc...
Cheam (pronounced Chee-am), east of Chilliwack, is derived from the Halkomelem word meaning place to get strawberries. This name refers specifically to the island across from the village and present reserve. Whites have also used the name for today's Cheam Peak but to the First Nations the latter is Thleethleg, the wife of Mt. Baker, who came to Thleethleq with her sisters, dog, and daughter and was turned to stone.
Cheam Peak was part of the oral history of the Sto:lo peoples. The Halkomelem name for the peak, Theeth-uhl-kay, means "the source" or "the place from which the waters spring." For the Sto:lo, the peak is the "mother mountain" or old woman overlooking her children dwelling in the valley. Lady Peak, to the south is the old woman's dog. Cheam, the official name of the peak, is said to be the Halkomelem word for "wild strawberries," though the British Columbia Geographical Names Office description says that name is a reference to the lowland below. This describes the ridge that includes Cheam and Lady Peaks, and the lower slopes around Spoon Lake and upper Airplane Creek. Spelled "Mount She-am" on roads & trails maps.
Pilalt indigenous people from the village at Cheam are called "the mountain goat people" because of an ancestral myth and the right to hunt the animal is passed down in certain families. Read the complete article at this link - www.firstnations.de/development/cheam.htm
The Cheam Indian Band is a First Nations band government of the Stó:lō people in the Upper Fraser Valley region of British Columbia, Canada, located near the community of Rosedale. They traditionally speak the Upriver dialect of Halkomelem, one of the Salishan family of languages. The name Cheam means "wild strawberry place" and is the namesake of Mount Cheam, which overlooks the community and most of the Upper Fraser Valley.
(from 1918 - Wrigley's British Columbia directory) - CHEAM VIEW - a post office and station on the C.N.R., 14 miles west of Hope and 18 miles east of Chilliwack, the nearest business centre, in the Yale Provincial Electoral District. Nearest telegraph G.N.W. at Rosedale. The population in 1918 was 40. Local resources: Farming and stock raising.
The Cheam Post Office was established - 1 January 1892 and closed 31 December 1911.

Tulips grown by: NOS Greenhouses Ltd.
Agassiz, BC Canada
Starting April 1 and running through at least April 12, the tulips fields are a short drive from Vancouver and an afternoon spent wandering the fields is an afternoon well spent
The festival, now in it’s 9th year, is organized by local Agassiz greenhouse, Tulips of the Valley in partnership with Onos Greenhouses who owns and grows the tulips, and uses the bulbs to produce cut tulips that are sold throughout western Canada and the US. As a result, all of the tulips on display at the festival come from Canadian-grown bulbs!
While you visit the festival enjoy fresh Dutch Stroopwafels, Bannock and other treats from the Agassiz Farmers Market and be sure to visit the Tulip Stand (open until Mother's Day) for bulbs and fresh-cut tulips

Cheam Peak or Mount Cheam:
Wikipedia
Elevation: 2,104 m
First ascent: 1888
Prominence: 334 m
Province: British Columbia
Mountain range: North Cascades
First ascenders: Ebe B. Knight, A. O. Campbell
Agassiz, BC Canada
One of the most spectacular views in the Fraser Valley, Mount Cheam offers a 360-degree panoramic view from Chilliwack and the communities along the Fraser River, Jones Lake, the surrounding peaks, and Mount Baker to the south.
Cheam is the farthest northerly peak of a small group of peaks forming a local subrange, the Cheam Range, a small group of peaks forming a local subrange of the Skagit Range of the Canadian Cascades mountains (which are the Canadian extension of the North Cascades of Washington).
It dominates the eastern Fraser Valley, rising above Bridal Falls and Agassiz just east of Chilliwack, British Columbia.
It and three sister peaks form a group known as the Four Sisters or Four Brothers, which are part of the mountain wall framing the Lower Mainland; though visible from as far away as Vancouver Island on a clear day, like Cheam does for the Eastern Valley, they are a dominant part of the mountain skyline of Mission and the communities of Hatzic, Dewdney and Deroche.
Behind them is Wahleach Lake, which begins at the east foot of Cheam and lies in a high-altitude valley ringed by the Cheam Range.

Wickham
near Fareham
Hampshire
England
Richard HAMMOND, b. 1861, Fareham, Hampshire
Wickham is a small village and civil parish in Hampshire, England, about three miles north of Fareham. At the 2001 census, it had a population of 4,816, falling to 4,299 at the 2011 Census.
During January 1977, DMS731 sits in Kingsway Road, Cheam with a short working of Route 213.
DMS731 had a life of less than six years, spending its entire operational period at Sutton garage. New in September 1973 it was withdrawn in March 1979.
An abandoned Wesumat Softwash W92 with green striped polythene brushes at BP Cheam in Sutton, London.
Seemingly switched off for good only a year ago, so quite a recent state of affairs. One review suggests from the management that this machine has broken down beyond affordable repair, so this is pretty much it. Speaking of reviews, this small BP garage has got very unglamorous ones...
After leaving Bridal Veil Falls Regional Park, my friend Patty & I decided to go to the nearby Cheam Lake Wetlands (16-06-11-3917-18)
Commentary.
In the mid-1960’s and up to 1977 I took great delight
in being a member of the 18TH. Kingston and Merton Boys’ Brigade Company based in Farm Road Mission, Morden, Surrey.
I had started as an Anchor and Lifeboy at Cheam Baptist Church from 1961 to 1964.
From 1973 to 1977 I was a Non-Commissioned Officer at Farm Road in the St. Helier Estate, Morden.
Over a period of ten years, in winter we would have a Parade Evening on a Tuesday evening, in full uniform, that would include the discipline of marching drill.
On Sundays we would attend the Mission for a Bible Class.
All year we would enjoy many different sports, camps, hikes in the country, and even Orienteering Competitions in a wide range of rural settings.
We also learned many skills like First Aid, map-reading, roped rock-climbing, and kayaking/canoeing and other water-sports.
In the Spring/Summer months, Parade evenings would cease.
Instead, we would do outdoor sports in the nearby Recreation Ground, including football, cricket and rounders.
Often, on alternate weeks we would meet half-an-hour earlier
and travel to places like Banstead Woods, Epsom Downs, Box Hill, Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park to play “Wide Games.”
These involved two teams in a large, but specific area,
trying to capture their opponents, before they can return to a central point. Team with the most captures, by a specific time, wins, exhausting, frantic, but great fun.
We would also visit Colley Hill, above the town of Reigate.
On one such evening a group of 20 boys and 4 leaders had a walk around this very coombe at Colley Hill, on a glorious summer’s evening.
I had a bad reputation for telling pretty bad jokes.
As we reached the top of this coombe, the patience of a few, wore thin, the straw had broken the camel’s back.
Five or six of my “best” friends(?) picked me up and rolled me down this 35° path.
I rolled across broken chalk, through thistles, nettles, brambles and probably Bee Orchids, down, down, down, probably 200-300 feet of descent, who needs enemies when you’ve got friends like that?
Fortunately, I was known for my resilience and barring a few scratches didn’t get hurt, we laughed it off.
But, as you might have guessed, my jokes dried up for some reason!
Looking back, these times are the best of your life.
The “camaraderie” of my friends was simply wonderful!

Last week I visited the Cheam Wetlands east of Chilliwack and I got to watch three Hairy Woodpeckers work their way through some low trees. There was a Downy Woodpecker hanging around but got driven away.
Here's the first discovered Christ Alpha* in a Sainsbury's paint job, these orange blades on an all black system look blazing.
Very delighted that Sainsbury's have moved onto the latest Christ gear, here's hoping we see more of these bad boys in 2023.
