 cember 8, 1886, after an illness of only three 

 days, at his residence, Cloverdale, Victoria, B. 

 C. He was educated at Glasgow University,

 tember 12 of the same year he accepted a posi- 

 tion as surgeon and clerk with tlie Hudson's 

 Bay Company, and left home for the Columbia 

 River, arriving at Vancouver in the spring of 

 1833. Vancouver was then the chief post of 

 the Hudson's Bay Company on this coast. In 



Tolmie (W. F.) — Continued. 



1841 he visited his native land, but returneil in 



1842 overland via the ])lains and the (Joliiiiibia, 

 and was placed in chargi^ of the llndson's Hay 

 l>osts on Puget Sound, flti here took a promi- 

 nent part, during the Indian war of 18.'i.'»-'.")0, in 

 l>acifying the Indians. Being an excellent lin- 

 guist he liad ac<iuired a knr)wledge of the native 

 tongues, and was instrumental in bringing 

 about pea(!o between the whites and the Indi- 

 ans. He was api)oiiitedchief factor of the Hud- 

 son's Bay Comp.iny in ISlj. remov(Ml to Van- 

 couver Island in 18,")9, when he went into stock- 

 raising, being the first to iulroduce thorough- 

 bred stock into British Columbia; was a mem- 

 ber of the local legislature two terms, until 

 1878 ; was a member of the first board of educa- 

 tion for several years, exercising a great influ- 

 ence in educational matters; held many offices 

 of trust, and was always a valued and respected 

 citizen. 



Mr. T'olmio was known to ethnologists for 

 his contributions to I he history and linguistics 

 of the native races of llie AVcst Coast, and 

 dated his interest in I'thnological matters from 

 his contact with Mr. Horatio Hale, who visited 

 tlie West ('oast as an ethnologist to the "Wilkes 

 (exploring expedition. Ho afterwards trans- 

 mitted vocabularies of a number of the tribes 

 to Dr. Scouler and to Mr. George Gibbs, some of 

 wliich were published in Contributions to 

 North American Ethnology. In 18K4 he pub- 

 lished, in conjunction with Dr. G. M. Dawson, a 

 nearly complete series of short vocabularies of 

 the i)rincipal languages met with in British 

 Columbia, and his name is to be found fre- 

 quently quoted as an authority on the history 

 of the Northwest Coast and its ethnology. 

 He frequently contributed to the press upon 

 public questions and events now historical.
