Remember the story in last
Monday’s Herald on the old St.
Matthew's Anglican Chureh?

The church was moved

rom Terrace to Kitwancool

E where it will be dedicated

: March 28.
Two Terrace old-timers,

ee after reading the Herald

tory, came up with an in-

® leresting sidelight,

It seems Canon Thomas J.
‘Marsh was the first Anglican
iest for St. Matthew's.

ES IN 1912
=, And the following story
% appeared in the May 3, 1912

‘Sedition of the Prince Rupert

much improved in health. Mr.
Marsh has-been south for
some Ume recovering from a
attack of typhoid fever. He
‘returned by the Princess
Roval this morning.

Bishop Du Vernet and the
Rev. Mr. Marsh will open the
new Anglican church at
Terrace next Sunday.

Mrs. Marsh returned some
time ago.”

SAME CHURCH

The “new” Anglican church
referred to in the story is the
same church which will be
dedicated in Kitwancool this
month...starting a new life at
59. .
The newspaper article was
uncovered when a. wall in

One of the old-timers also

recounts Rey, Marsh's trip .

from Kitimaat to Terrace.
In an article written on the

’ ¢hurch’s 50th anniversary: -

. “He left Kitimaat and
tramped over the winter trail
in March, when the snow was’
beginning to get soft.

“‘After a most trying trip,
owing to his weight, (for he:
was a heavily built man) and
the treacherous ‘condition of
the deep snow, he reached the
end of the trail, about 40 miles
in length, arriving at the
Grand Truck Pacific con-
struction camp at Copper

“He then crossed the Skeena 3

There was just the beginning =
of a settlement near where the

into the Skeena River... ©

“Mr Marsh thought’ that:

- this would be a stratigic poin

in which to start his ministry
and because he had recelved :
the gift of an acre of iand from :

And, with that ‘footing
began the history of St
Matthew's Anglican Church
in Kitwancool.
