Seeley, Jane Strayhorne
Jane Strayhome Seeley was an early pioneer. She was born on the Isle of Man in about 1820. As a young child she moved to Belfast, but the potato famine forced her family to move to Portland, Maine. In 1885 she moved to New Brunswick, Canada. Later she moved to the St. John River Valley, before moving west to Minneapolis in 1887. She came to BC from Minneapolis in 1892. She came to live near her two sons, George and Thomas Seeley, on their ranch on Yale Road, 2.5 miles east of Murrayville. She would pass away in 1896 and is buried in Murrayville. Her late husband was named George Seeley and he was born in Cork.
