Andrew Dalgleish was born at Yarrow Fews, near Selkirk, Scotland in 1831. The poet James Hogg was a friend of his parents. He emigrated to New York in 1852. In about 1855, Andrew married Anne Sinclair on Goat Island at Niagara Falls. They had seven children: John, Neil, Andrew, Donald, Catherine, Alexander, and James. He worked as a stone mason around different parts of the country, and even came to B.C. in the 1870s, but decided not to stay. In 1882 Andrew and his family moved to Moosomin, Saskatchewan, where he and six of his sons took up homesteads. He came to B.C. in 1896 with his wife and settled in with his daughter Catherine, now married to William John McIntosh. Ann died soon after, but Mr. Dalgleish continued to be a local figure - and even still built chimneys - well into his 90s. He was also a well known figure in Kamloops, where he wintered with his sons. He passed away on September 6, 1928, at the home of his daughter Catherine in Fort Langley. He was buried in the Fort Langley Cemetery.
