John Butler Tiffin was a lumberman and rancher.
He lived at 1834 Barclay Street in 1900 and 1901 and possibly in 1898 and 1899 as well. (The directories had few specific listings for the West of Denman area before 1900, and they sometimes referred generally to “Denman Street.”)
Early Life
John Butler Tiffin was born in Kent County, Ontario, on November 24, 1848. (The Tiffin surname sometimes appeared as “Tiffen.”) His parents were Thomas Tiffin (1787–1884), and Elizabeth Butler (1808 – 1883). (Some sources say that Elizabeth died in 1889.)
After John finished school in Ontario, he was a farmer in Ontario until 1877.
To British Columbia
By 1878 John had arrived in British Columbia, where he started work in the lumber business.
In 1880 he was a tunnel foreman on the railway projects in the Fraser canyon area.
By the mid-1880s he was in Port Moody, British Columbia. (Many local people hoped that Port Moody would be the terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway, but the railway instead chose the area that became the City of Vancouver.)
In 1886, John appeared in a photograph of the first tea ship, the “W.B. Flint,” which arrived in Port Moody on July 27, 1886.

In 1887 he was associated with the Pioneer Lumber Company in Port Moody.
He was still living in Port Moody in 1891.
Marriage to Elizabeth Hurreell
On March 24, 1891 John went through a marriage ceremony with Elizabeth Hurrell in Tacoma, Washington. Elizabeth gave her residence as Yankton, South Dakota.
Elizabeth was born in Hamilton, Ontario on November 14, 1848. Her parents were Samuel Tiffin and Annie Yalden.
On May 6, 1868 in Wentworth County, Ontario she married Jasper Hurrell, who was a printer.
Jasper and Elizabeth were living together at the time of the 1871 and 1881 Canada censuses. Jasper became ill, and he was later admitted to St. Peter’s Infirmary in Barton, Ontario. (This facility was sometimes called “St. Peter’s Home for the Incurables.”)
Jasper died at the infirmary on May 13, 1900.
To Vancouver
By 1895, John and Elizabeth were at 1308 Haro Street in Vancouver.
Although the 1895 Vancouver directory listed the Tiffin home as 1308 Haro Street, the 1901 Vancouver fire insurance plan indicated that the house number was originally 1390 Haro Street.
The 1903 fire insurance plan and later plans showed the house as 1308 Haro Street.
This 1909 photograph shows 1308 Haro Street with a tower addition designed by Vancouver architect Cecil Croker Fox (1879-1916).

John kept a flock of chickens at his home. In January 1895, thieves stole 50 chickens from him.
Later in 1895, he became an official scaler for the provincial government.

From about 1898 to 1901, John and Elizabeth lived at 1834 Barclay Street.
In 1908 the provincial government appointed John as a licensing commissioner.

He was a member of the Vancouver Exhibition Association.
![J. D.

He owned property near the community of Lillooet on the Fraser River.
In 1914, John and Elizabeth were living at 1315 Broughton Street in Vancouver.
Second Marriage Ceremony
John and Elizabeth went through another marriage ceremony in Bellingham, Washington on July 12, 1916. Elizabeth described herself as a widow. It appears that this ceremony was intended to ensure that they were actually married. Their 1891 marriage ceremony was probably invalid, since Elizabeth was still married to Jasper Hurrell at the time..
Beginning about 1915, John leased ranching property near Ashcroft, British Columbia. He was also the president of Renwick and Cunliffe Limited, which was a wholesale crockery and glassware business in Vancouver.
Later Life
About 1920, John was seriously injured in an accident on his ranch in the Cariboo. John and Elizabeth moved to 2205 Cambridge Street in Vancouver. They lived there for the rest of their time in Vancouver.
Elizabeth died in Vancouver on September 21, 1926. She was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver.
John died in Vancouver on September 25, 1930. She was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver.
The administration of John’s estate was still ongoing in 1942.
It appears that John and Elizabeth did not have any children.

John B. Tiffin, British Columbia From the Earliest Times to the Present, volume 4; by Ethelbert Olaf Stuart Scholefield and Frederic William Howay; Vancouver : S.J. Clarke Publishing Company, 1914, pages 14-17 [page 16 is blank]; https://archive.org/stream/britishcolumbiaf04schouoft#page/14/mode/1up; https://archive.org/stream/britishcolumbiaf04schouoft#page/15/mode/1up; https://archive.org/stream/britishcolumbiaf04schouoft#page/17/mode/1up.
“John Butler Tiffin, one of the prominent and substantial citizens of Vancouver, lives now practically retired from active business, although he still holds the position of president of the Red Cedar Lumber Company, Limited. He is one of the pioneers of British Columbia, having come here in 1877, and since 1878 he has been successfully engaged in the lumber business, having done much toward building up this industry and bringing to the world’s attention the vast resources of the province.
John Butler Tiffin was born on November 24, 1848, in Kent county, Ontario, and is a son of Thomas and Elizabeth Tiffin. The father was one of the first settlers in what was known then as the “old fields” in the southern part of Kent county. John B. Tiffin was educated in the public schools of Ontario and for a number of years farmed in that province, until in 1877 the spirit of the west lured him to British Columbia, and he has never had occasion to regret this step, for it proved the corner stone to an active and successful career which not only brought him prosperity but proved a valuable part in opening the resources of the country to the world. In 1878 Mr. Tiffin engaged in the lumber business and has ever since been engaged in that line, having now for a number of years been president of the Red Cedar Lumber Company, Limited, although he has practically retired from active business. He is also a stockholder in a number of other important companies here.
Mr. Tiffin has always taken deep interest in public enterprises of value and for a time served as a director in the Vancouver Exhibition Association. He gave further evidence of his public spirit by accepting office as license commissioner for Vancouver in 1908 and is also an ex-president of the Vancouver Amateur Driving Association. He is a tory in politics, strong in his views and stands for those things that make for the good of the country. His religious faith is that of the English church. Fraternally he belongs to Cascade Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and he is a member of the Canadian Club. Careful of his own interests and considerate of those of others, Mr. Tiffin has attained to prosperity, his every action being worthy of the highest commendation. He is greatly interested in the upbuilding of his province along various lines, such as the improvement of stock, horses, cattle, etc. He has generous humanitarian principles and suffering humanity, especially children, always touch an answering chord in his heart. Mr. Tiffin is a loyal and faithful citizen of Vancouver and, as he has proven his worth, enjoys the confidence, esteem and respect of all who have had occasion to meet him in a social or business way.”

The fire was first discovered by a Japanese employee who raised the alarm and tried to subdue the fire with the garden variety of hose, hut the blaze soon got away from him and by the time the brigade landed there was no hope of saving the mill. The hose wagons from Nos. 1. 2 and 5 hall, and a chemical from No. 1 were all working, but until the big steam fire engine arrived very little effectual work was accomplished. The steam engine soon put the fire back and held it to the mill building, where it quickly burned out. All the machinery in the mill was totally destroyed and nothing is left of the mill building this morning except the brick boiler – house. Although the plant was not a large one, the loss will run into several thousands of dollars. . . .”

“John B. Tiffen [sic] Died At Noon; Had Lived in B.C. More Than Half Century; Neck Was Broken,” Vancouver Province, September 25, 1930, page 1 [includes photograph of John B. Tiffen]:
John B. Tiffen, a resident of British Columbia since 1877 and one of Vancouver’s best known pioneer citizens, died at noon today at his residences, 2205 Cambridge street. He was aged 82. His wife died here four years ago. Mr. F.W. Tiffen, barrister, of this city, is a nephew.
About a decade ago the deceased, then largely interested in cattle raising in the Cariboo, met with an accident at his ranch which broke his neck. That he lived was a matter of amazement to his friends and medical men.
For years Mr. Tiffen was rated as one of the wealthy men of Vancouver. He made a great deal of money more than a quarter century ago when he operated a large sawmill on Burrard Inlet almost on the site now occupied by No. 1 grain elevator.
Born in Ontario
He was born on November 24, 1848, in Kent County, Ontario, and was a son of Thomas and Elizabeth Tiffen. The father was one of the first settlers in what was known then as the “Old Fields” in the southern part of Kent County
J.B. Tiffen was educated in the public schools of Ontario and for a number of years farmed in that province until in 1877 the spirit of the West lured him to British Columbia.
In 1878 he engaged in the lumber business and was president of the Red Cedar Lumber Co.
Public Activities
He took deep interest in public affairs and for a time served as a director of the Vancouver Exhibition Association. He was a license commissioner for Vancouver in 1908 and was an ex-president of the Vancouver Driving Association. In politics he was a Conservative. In religion he was a member of the Church of England in Canada, and was a member of Cascade Lodge, A.F. & A.M. and of the Canadian Club.”
