F.D. Hueston lived at 1859 Robson Street in 1913. It appears that this was Frank Dewitt Hueston, who was a salesman for Allan Brothers, a firm of real estate and insurance brokers. (Joseph Dodd Allan was one of the Allan brothers. He lived at 1860 Comox Street from 1911 to 1914.)
Family Background
Frank Dewitt Hueston was born in Parkhill, Middlesex County, Ontario on May 28, 1887. His father was John Hueston, who was born in Melrose, west of London, Ontario, on April 14, 1854. John worked at several jobs including sewing machine agent and salesman for a marble and granite works.
On January 17, 1883, in Coldwater, Michigan, John Hueston married Anna Lee Cook. She was born in New York State on September 19, 1854. Her parents were Dewitt Cook and Helen Broadhead. Dewitt Cook was a grocer and crockery dealer in Coldwater.
John and Anna lived in Parkhill, Middlesex County, until 1911 at least. Later they moved to London, Ontario. Anna died in London on March 8, 1935. She was buried in Woodland Cemetery. John died sometime after Anna’s death. (Some sources refer to a John Hueston who died in 1931, but this appears to be a different person).
Frank Dewitt Hueston
Frank was living with his parents in 1891 and 1901.
A man named Frank Hueston was living in Vancouver in 1910. (It is not clear that this is the same Frank Hueston, but it is possible.)
Frank first appeared in the Vancouver directories in 1911. He was living at 510 West Pender Street and working as a salesman for Allan Brothers.
In the 1911 Canada census, he was listed as a broker.
The only other listing for him in Vancouver was in 1913, when he was “F.D. Hueston,” living at 1859 Robson Street.
At some time before 1920 he was a manager for Western Packers Limited. He also lived for a time in Prince Rupert, British Columbia.
He did not marry.
He became ill with tuberculosis, and he died on March 27, 1920, at Rainbow Lodge Sanitarium in Kamloops, British Columbia. He was buried in London, Ontario.
