People/Subject

Fernridge

Neighbourhood in southern Langley. This community was established in the late 1800s, when settlers arrived in the Campbell River Valley. The settlers were drawn to the area by its open meadowlands with fertile soil and its heavily timbered forests. In addition to the families who established farms and agricultural ventures, the area also fostered the operation of several sawmills early in its development, which took advantage of the abundant first growth timber. As the small community slowly grew in southwest Langley, a local post office, and later a general store and gas station, all founded by local residents Noel and Lillian Booth, were opened to serve the population.

Kobayashi Family

The Kobayashi family lived in Fernridge. Mr. and Mrs. Kobayashi had children Kaz, Yuki, Aki, Mas, and Jack. Brother/uncle Ishisaburo Kobayashi might have lived with them, or visited.
