Bell, J.P. [possibly John Potter Bell (1865-1953)]

J.P. Bell lived at 2075 Beach Avenue from 1904 to 1908. The Vancouver directory listings do not include his full name or his occupation.

J.P. Bell may be John Potter Bell, who was a mill-hand, rancher, and mining prospector. John Potter Bell sometimes signed his name as J.P. Bell; there are almost no other references to a J.P Bell in Vancouver directories and British Columbia vital records.

John Potter Bell was born on February 7, 1865, in Richibucto, New Brunswick [Richibucto, Wikipedia article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richibucto]. His father was John Potter Bell (about 1836-1904; his mother was charity Ann McQuarrie (about 1838-1899).

From 1904 to 1908, J.P. Bell was at 2075 Beach Avenue. There are no records for him in the Vancouver directories after 1908.

Near Salmo, in the British Columbia Kootenay district, there is a settlement called Erie (formerly “North York”). In the early 1900s, J.P. Bell modified an existing store building into a livery barn. The building has been restored.

It is situated just outside of Fruitvale at the point where Bell Creek joins Beaver Creek. The siding is located near Andrew Park’s land, hence the name Park Siding.”; Page 7: “Bell Creek is named after John Potter Bell who was born in Kouchibouguac, New Brunswick in 1964. He came west to Vancouver in 1890 and in 1894 walked from Hope to Rossland on the Dewdney Trail in order to prospect in the Kootenays. He brought his family via Revelstoke to the Salmo area in 1897 where they lived at Erie until 1912 raising 8 children. John ran a livery stable in Erie hauling supplies to the Arlington Second Relief mines. At this time he was also mine foreman at the Molly Gibson mine. At the end of 1912 he moved to Park Siding onto a 102 acre ranch, where he ranched for 28 years. The first school house in the Park Siding area was built on his property in 1912 and was used until 1921. He helped build the first road from Fruitvale to Salmo. John was always active in the community and was a member of the school board and the Masonic Lodge.”
