C.D. Hoy, Cecilia, Marvin, and August (Sr.) Baker, 1910–20

In this family portrait, Mary Cecilia Susan Baker (née Elmore) and her husband August Baker (originally Boulanger) flank their son, Marvin. The group represents the formation of families across cultures: August came to the Cariboo region from France; Cecilia’s father ran a fur trading post in Quesnel, and his wife, Cat’a, was an Interior Salish woman born in Lillooet, in the territory of the Stʼátʼimc people.
