Description From Owner:

McLure - Named after John McLure. Arriving in 1906, he farmed here until his death, aged eighty-four, in 1933.
Sullivan Lake - After Michael ('Ten Percent') Sullivan (1838-1908), an Irish entrepreneur who, after participating in the Cariboo gold rush, bought land in this area.
'He did very well ranching, buttermaking, intercepting the North River Indians on their way to the HBC post and buying their furs, selling horses to the railway surveyors, and owning a share in the first threshing machine.
With his considerable earnings he became a money lender, and held mortgages on many properties' (Mary Balf, Chase, p. 26). See also Vinsulla.
