Irvine's Past Revealed Here By Martha Jussila
Irvine's early days feature 1912 arrivals trains at the station, Rev Gerrold church, Bank of Union branch with Bally manager and Parker accountant, and dairy farming by the Harrises. Fires destroyed the Golden West in 1912 and a grain elevator, with horses perishing in the blazes. CPR dam work and drownings, a diphtheria epidemic, and doctors Bolton and Fisher figure in this nostalgic cut of Irvine.
