Whitfield Walker Stuart was a lumberman.
He lived at 1974 Georgia Street from 1904 to 1907 and at 1825 Robson Street from 1908 to about 1916.
His son, Grover Franklin Stuart, was at 1829 Robson Street in 1918.
Family Background
Whitfield Walker Stuart was born in New Brunswick (possibly in Hillsboro) on November 30, 1860 (although some sources say he was born in 1858 or 1859). His parents were John Stuart and Annie Steeves (or Steves). (Whitfield’s family name sometimes appears as “Stewart” or “Stuart”.)
In 1871 and 1881, Whitfield was living with his parents in Albert County, New Brunswick.

By 1886, Whitfield was living in Boston, Massachusetts, and he was working as a carpenter.

By 1891, Whitfield was in New Westminster, British Columbia. It appears that he was working as a farmer in Dewdney, British Columbia, in 1898.
He first appeared in the Vancouver directories in 1898. He was living at 519 Barnard Street, and he was working as a carpenter.
He appeared at the following addresses in Vancouver.

The photograph below shows W.W. Stuart’s building at the corner of Georgia Street and Chilco Street. (The vertical strips on the right wall of the building suggest that it might be a product of the B.C. Mills, Timber and Trading Company: see the page on 2005 Comox Street for more information on this company’s prefabricated buildings.)
By 1908, Whitfield had moved to 1825 Robson Street. He built a larger structure at the corner of Georgia Street and Chilco Street. (Further information appears on the page for 1974 Georgia Street.)

Annie died in Vancouver on November 23, 1916. She was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver.
Marriage to Cecilia Perriman
On April 17, 1918, in Vancouver, Whitfield married Cecilia May Perriman.
Cecilia was born in Adelaide, South Australia, on May 17, 1878. Her parents were George Perrimanand Elsie Hanna Underwood. George Perriman was an artist.
Car Accident
On August 1, 1920, Whitfield was driving a car that was involved in an accident with a motorcycle, killing the two motorcycle passengers.
The inquest concluded that the motorcycle’s excessive speed was the cause of the accident.
In October 1920, the mother of the motorcycle driver sued Whitfield for damages.
The jury in the trial was unable to agree on who was at fault, and a series of procedural court applications followed.
The final outcome of this case does not appear to be available.
Final Days
Whitfield died at 2645 West 43rd Avenue on August 11, 1927. He was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver.
Cecilia died in Vancouver on January 2, 1954. She was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver.

On July 3, 1907, in Vancouver, Mabel married Charles Akitt Johnson, who operated a hotel and livery business. He was born on April 30, 1878, in Eugenia, Ontario. His father was Edward Johnson. Charles’s mother was Sarah Akitt.
Charles died in Essondale, British Columbia, on July 25, 1942. He was buried in Woodlands Memorial Garden in New Westminster, British Columbia.
Mabel may have been married to J.A. Crowe and living in Montreal, Quebec in 1927.
At this time, no further information is available for Mabel.
